Valkyrie (Lostbelt)

, , and are the last three Valkyries in the Norse Lostbelt in Fate/Grand Order.
==Profile==
===Background===
The three Valkyries within the Norse Lostbelt are those who have existed since 1000BC into modern day 2018AD of the Lostbelt.
During The Ragnarok of the Norse Lostbelt, Surtr had successfully devoured and assimilated Fenrir's Divine Authority over frost and snow and successfully obtain his power that then greatly boosted his own. Effectively giving him enough strength to overpower and defeat all of the other Norse Gods and even kill Odin. In a last ditch attempt to stop him, Odin merged together Scathach and Skadi into a single goddess to oversee the remaining humans and sealed Surtr inside a false sun. Odin then ordered his surviving Valkyrie's to serve under Scathach-Skadi in order to maintain Surtr's seal. 
The three would then assist her in this endeavor and would soon be mass produced and copied by Scathach-Skadi to create an army of Valkyrie.

====Götterdämmerung: The Eternal Ice-Flame Century====
In the Norse Lostbelt, Ortlinde, Hildr and Thrúd were the only survivors of the original Valkyries following the events of the Lostbelt's Ragnarok. They subsequently served under Scáthach-Skadi, the sole surviving god in Scandinavia after Surtr's rampage and subsequent Queen of the Lostbelt. Skadi was unable to produce any full-fledged Valkyries, but created mass-produced units dependent on her mana, with the originals acting as their command units. They would supervise the denizens of Skadi's domain, including servicing the human villages, up until the events surrounding the arrival of the Shadow Border and the survivors of Chaldea.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century They and Ophelia Phamrsolone imprisoned Brynhildr some time after she materialized in a ice castle surrounding by magical flames.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 10: Like the Spring Sunshine (Middle) Not wishing to fight their elder sister, the Valkyries put her to sleep.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 11: Like the Spring Sunshine (End)
Skadi asks Thrúd for her opinion regarding the incident at Village 23. She answers that the transgressors, Chaldea, can be left alone since Skadi permitted them to remain alive. Regarding the Envoys that were destroyed, Thrúd comments they lack the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. She believes she and her sisters won’t have to respond based on what she’s seen in their shared records. Even if they’re forced to confront Chaldea due to circumstance, Thrúd believes either the giants or an Envoy’s self-destruction function will suffice because the transgressors are a human and a Demi-Servant.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 5: Castle of Snow and Ice (Beginning)
After she refuses to divulge the location of Fantasy Tree Sombrero, Skadi orders Thrúd to capture Ritsuka’s party. They fight until Ophelia Phamrsolone and Sigurd arrive. Skadi orders Thrúd to stand down under Ophelia’s request so she may speak with Mash. Thrúd complies and turns to spirit form.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 6: Castle of Snow and Ice (End)
The Valkyries later learn that Brynhildr has awoken. They agree to confront her, and show her the foolishness of siding humans if she so chooses to do so. They watch from afar as the Envoys attack the Shadow Border before coming down in response to Brynhidlr’s request for her to come face-to-face with them. Thrúd tells her she can’t be considered their sister as she is from the Proper History and never experienced the broken Ragnarok. Ortlinde says they could’ve avoided conflict with each other if only Brynhildr remained asleep. Hildr asks Brynhildr if she has no issue killing them because they’re merely strangers who like her sisters. Napoleon Bonaparte tells the Valkyries that Brynhildr doesn’t to want to kill, but it’s a warrior’s duty to carry the burden of each person they killed until the day they die. Brynhildr concurs, suspecting her sisters forgotten that after spending years in this Lostbelt devoid of heroes. They are therefore unfit to be called Valkyries, no longer capable of guiding the souls of brave heroes. Thrúd declares she and her sisters are still Valkyries, having defended the Lostbelt and its human population for thousands of years. Unable to forgive Brynhildr’s insult, the Valkyries fight her and the others to prove that they’re the true Valkyries. As they fight, Brynhildr is glad to see her sisters have gained emotions. Thrúd and Hildr deny they’ve gained emotions, while Ortlinde remains silent. Thrúd and Hildr become enraged at Brynhidlr, the former believing her love for Sigurd has corrupted her mind. Ortlinde asks Thrúd to calm down as she is leaking magical energy. In the battle’s last moments, Thrúd allows herself to impaled by Brynhildr’s spear. Hidlr choose without a second thought to be impaled alongside her. They both admit they could never best their elder sister. Thrúd tells Ortlinde that she cannot join them in death, suspecting their decision shocks her because she isn’t as broken as them. Hildr tells her to follow her heart, believing she gained one like they did. After her sisters disappear, Ortlinde retreats, unable to understand their final decision.
She returns to Skadi’s throne room and informs Ophelia of what transpired. She denies that she’s crying, unable to believe her sisters choose to fight just to die. Even though she should be proud that they died a warrior’s death, Ortlinde finds her tears won’t stop. Because she is somewhat broken herself, she can understand her sisters’ final decision was made out of love for their elder sister.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 12: You, Who Was Like The Spring Sunshine
When Ritsuka’s party arrives at the castle, Ortlinde joins Sigurd in fighting them. Brynhildr realizes Sigurd is stronger than usual, so she activates a primordial rune to empower herself at the risk of burning her soul away. However, Ophelia arrives and uses her Mystic Eye to undo its effects, but not the severe damage done to Brynhildr’s Spiritual Core. Despite the risks, Brynhildr reactivates the rune. Her determination to kill Sigurd negates Ophelia’s second attempt to use her Mystic Eye on her since it doesn’t work on singular possibilities. She then uses Brynhildr Romantia to kill Sigurd, but it doesn’t kill him. He reveals he isn’t Sigurd and attacks the group. Brynhildr destroys his Spiritual Core, but he still isn’t dead. Ophelia tries to use her Mystic Eye to undo his defeat, but it doesn’t work. With the destruction of Sigurd’s Spiritual Core, the false sun meant to seal Surtr away breaks. While the others fight Surtr to stop him from kidnapping Ophelia,Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 13: Bringing Twilight Here Once Again (Beginning) Ortlinde uses a rune to maintain Sigurd's body, assisted by Ophelia using her Mystic Eye on him earlier. Sigurd soon awakens, and repels off Surtr's flames with Bölverk Gram. After Surtr leaves, Sigurd promptly complies with Ortlinde's request to heal Brynhildr. 
Everyone then proceeds to the throne room.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 14: Bringing Twilight Here Once Again (Middle)
There Skadi reveals giants are attacking the villages, as her masks meant to pacify them ceased to function with Surtr free. After she explains the Lostbelt’s origins, Fantasy Tree Seeds suddenly crash down. Skadi is shocked that they don’t self-destruct upon commanding them to die. Sitonai arrives, and reveals it’s because Skadi's connection to Sombrero has been severed. After the Seeds are destroyed, the group suspects Surtr is the new Lostbelt King. Skadi then reveals Sombrero is to the north, camouflaged by her magical snow. After she agrees to help, the group return to the Shadow Border in pursuit of Surtr.
Ortlinde supports Sitonia, alongside Mash, Skadi, Sigurd, and Brynhildr, in thwarting Surtr's attempt to destroy Village 23. After Ophelia destroys her Mystic Eye to sever her contract with Surtr and uses the Sirius Light,Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 15: Bringing Twilight Here Once Again (End) Ortlinde watches over her while Ritsuka's party fight the ancient giant.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 16: Beyond the Gaze Following Surtr's destruction, Ortlinde joins Skadi in defending Sombrero. She dies in the ensuing battle with Ritsuka and Mash.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 17: Go, Beyond the Twilight
==Abilities==
Being a true valkyrie, Thrúd's strength is on par with "Sigurd"'s, and she claims that she wouldn't hesitate to destroy him, demonic sword and all, should Scáthach-Skaði give her a single command. Although she explains that it may be difficult to do so alone, she explains that their chances of success would greatly improve with all three of them. Although its difficult to gauge Thrúd's Magical Energy insdie Skadi's castle, there's no doubt in Mash's mind that she's much more powerful than the envoys. As such, despite Mash and Napoleon destroying multiple envoys, Thrúd considers that there's no need for her or any of the other three surviving Valkyries to involve in combat agaisnt such a lowly foe.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 5: Castle of Snow and Ice (Beginning)
Each of the valkyries possesses a Divine Iron shield, which was forged by Odin himself during the Age of Gods. With it, Thrúd blocks Napoeleon's ranged attacks. Despite them being very powerful, they prove insufficient to destroy her shield. The Noble Phantasm Gungnir: Declaration of the Great God (Fake) is used as a throwable weapon and a proximity weapon.Fate/Grand Order material VII - Valkyrie Profile (translated by Smoof101)
===Skills===
====Class Skills====
*Magic Resistance (B Rank): Spells with less than three verses are nullified. Even greater magecraft or ritual curses would cause next to no damage to her.
*Divinity (A Rank): They possess an aptitude as a Divine Spirit. Valkyrie are the daughters of the Almighty God Odin and their existence can even be called as Demigods; they possess an extremely high aptitude as a Divine Spirit.Fate/Grand Order - Valkyrie, Profile Though Brynhildr, Thrúd, Hildr and Ortlinde are all demigods, Brynhildr's Divine Core is much closer to that of a true goddess. This is because she was the first one and thus the closest to the gods; the ultimate valkyrie.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 10: Like the Spring Sunshine (Middle)
====Personal Skills====
*Primordial Rune (— Rank): They possess Runes, a Norse Magic Crest. It differs from those used by modern mages; it’s unique as it conceals astounding power because it was from by the Almighty God. While this skill is Lancer’s skill, Valkyrie uses the mana of various combat supporters. While it might be possible to use offensive magecraft with it, they don’t use it very much because they think that the merit of combat isn’t with magecraft but with flesh and armaments.
*Swan Mystic Code (A Rank): They were rewarded with swan-white clothes from the Great God Odin. (This was originally a Noble Phantasm but it was turned into a skill in Fate/Grand Order) Once it is activated, the Valkyries are able to engage their light spear's comabt function.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 6: Castle of Snow and Ice (End)
*Fate Weaver (B Rank): As per the 「Njals Saga」, the Valkyries are occasionally depicted weaving with terrifying looms. The girls determined the victory or defeat of the battlefield by ripping up weaved cloth.
===Noble Phantasm===
The Valkyries' Noble Phantasms are Gungnir, Ragnarök Lífþrasir and Svanhvít.
Despite the three Valkyries working together and using their Gungnir's against Brynhildr, they are bastly outmatched in performance, output and equipment. There's so much difference between them, that Brynhildr ended up killing Thrúd and Hildr with a single strike while Ortlinde retreated.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Section 11: Like the Spring Sunshine (End)
