Valkyries

Valkyries are powerful female warriors of Schicksal who have high Honkai resistance and who either have natural or artificial stigmata. Due to the constant exposure to the volatile Honkai energy and Honkai Beasts, many Valkyries are at risk of losing their lives not only in battle but due to the possible Honkai cascade as well, which is a phenomenon when a human with mild adaptability is corrupted by the Honkai and turns into a zombie, mindlessly seeking to destroy humanity.Chapter IV: Betrayal Has a Silvery Smile
:Theresa: Schicksal transformed girls into Valkyries to fight the Honkai, but the girls would suffer Honkai corruption.
:Theresa: Valkyries with poor adaptability will die young.Chapter XI: Diane's Sojourn
:Himeko: Valkyries are always at risk of the Honkai cascade. We know that Honkai powers our abilities and battlesuits.
:Himeko: But it can overwhelm us and turn is into mindless monsters.
:[…]
:Himeko: The cascade is irreversible. More will die if you hesitate.
Although Honkai adaptability is uncommon in men, it can happen in rare cases and these men can become the chevalier of Schicksal.
The Valkyries are ordered into ranks: S, A, B, C and D, with S being assigned only to the most powerful Valkyries, Valkyries with rank B and higher being deployed to frontlinesChapter II: Voice in the Dreams 
:Mei: Only B-rank and better Valkyries get to fight in the frontlines.
and D being used for Valkyries who stay in the HQ and do chores, support and logistic duties far from real fighting.Chapter II: Voice in the Dreams 
:Mei: If you get demoted to D-rank, you’ll be given support and logistics duties far from the real fighting.
:Kiana: Logistics? Like the Exchange and Snack Bar? No way! Valkyries are also grouped in squads for missions.
The title of Paladin, "the Overseer's chosen", also exists as the personal guard of the Schicksal Overseer and Schicksal HQ.Second Eruption, page 12 Together they form Overseer's Guards with the lowest ranked Paladin to date being Theresa Apocalypse as she became a Paladin while still at a B-rank.Everlasting Memory/First Blood
:Theresa: B-rank Valkyrie Theresa of the Overseer's Guards is coming to battle.
St. Freya is a school for Valkyries founded by a former Valkyrie Theresa Apocalypse who was originally its principal. The idea originally belonged to Cecilia Schariac who was Theresa's friend.
※ In the game, the term Valkyrie/Valkyrja applies to all battlesuits, including those of characters that do not belong to Schicksal, such as Seele Vollerei or Elysia.
