| ~ Conversation between Brunhilde and Klaudiusz |
Summary
Brunhilde is one of the main antagonists of Valkyria Revolution. She is a Valkyria summoned into existence by Emperor Klaudiusz to destroy anyone standing in his way.
Her human vessel is Maria Schmeichel, the woman who managed the orphanage of the Five Traitors, kidnapped by the Emperor and his four Grand Generals due to her high ragnite affinity, because the vessel of a Valkyria needs to be a maiden possessing high affinity with the azure mineral.
Named "The Reaper" due to her incredible strength and her ability to take the life of any mortal with her galdr, Brunhilde served as Klaudiusz enforcer, wiping out the armies of any nation opposing Ruz.
During the Liberation War, she battled the Anti-Valkyria squad multiple times. In the end, she was killed by Amleth during Operation Savior's Song, a trap organized to weaken her, forcing her to fight while weakened by sunlight and by Ophelia's galdr, amplified by all the citizens of Jutland.

Attack Potency: At least Multi-City Block level, likely far higher (Able to generate an Aurora Borealis merely by entering the battlefield. At her absolute weakest, she battled the entire Anti-Valkyria squad)
Speed: Subsonic+ (Even at her weakest, managed to keep up with Amleth and the rest of the Anti-Valkyria squad), Supersonic with speed amplification (Can enhance her speed with alchemic spells to become twice as fast). Up to Massively Hypersonic+ attack speed (Can attack using natural lightning bolts)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: At least Multi-City Block level, likely far higher (While weakened, she can harm opponents who can survive her magical attacks using melee attacks, at full power she should be able to do the same)
Durability: At least Multi-City Block level, likely far higher (In order to weaken her enough to defeat her, the Anti-Valkyria squad needed to weaken her using sunlight, as well as Ophelia's galdr, which was being amplified by all the inhabitants of Jutland)
Stamina: High. Fought against Vanargand for an entire night, and only retreated because the sun was rising.
Range: Extended melee range with her scythe, up to several hundreds of meters with alchemy and energy projection. At least hundreds of meters with her galdr, hundreds of kilometers with teleportation (Can travel freely between various provinces of the Ruzi Empire).
Standard Equipment: Scythe.
Intelligence: Has entire lives of combat experience due to being summoned various times during Europa's history. Even after being weakened, she is perfectly capable of fighting against the likes of Ophelia and Amleth. Brunhilde is a perless alchemist, having a deeper understanding of mana than any mortal being.
Weaknesses: Sunlight weakens her. If her summoner is killed, Brunhilde's body will die as well. Requires to be summoned using a human host in order to be able to fight.
Her sheer power was enough to turn a small, undeveloped kingdom into one of the five Europan superpower.
Fought the entire Vanargand at once while she was still gathering her strength, each member of Vanargand is comparable to Amleth. Described as a "godlike entity of immeasurable power", making her immensely superior to weapons of the Ruzi Epire such as heavy tanks.
One shot Godot, who is comparable to Amleth, while weakened.
Brunhilde is completely impervious to normal weapons, to the point where the development of Anti-Valkyria weaponry was needed in order to stand a chance against her. Despite that, Vanargand was still unable to significantly damage her during their first battle, and they needed to upgrade their weapons. During their second confrontation, she was still able to easily survive their attacks, and even shielded herself from Amleth's attack after being weakened by Ophelia's galdr.
