"*If you're such in a hurry in life. I know of a bullet train right to the end.*"

## Profile

### Background

Sofia Velmer more commonly known as Valmet is a former Finnish Rapid Deployment Force officer and the only other female member of Koko's Squad.

### Personality

Coming from a notable Finnish military family, Valmet worked hard to reach the position that she achieved in the FRDF. Her defeat by Chan Guoming in Africa thus dealt her a severe blow as her career was essentially finished. In addition to the blame that she placed on herself for the loss of her men, it is suggested that she had survivor guilt. Discovering who her attacker was and avenging her dead comrades was a major driving force for her. After obtaining her revenge a tremendous burden was lifted from her and she completely dedicated herself to Koko Hekmatyar. Valmet is a tough, fierce, and usually calm and collected individual, though her calmness and composure can quickly change when Koko is involved.

### Relationships

#### Koko Hekmatyar

Valmet is Koko's most dedicated and loyal subordinate, stemming from when the latter offered her a lifeline after her military career had reached its nadir following the annihilation of her platoon in Africa. She is in love with Koko and is highly protective of her, displaying concern and worry whenever she feels that the latter is threatened. Although the feeling is seemingly not mutual as Koko more or less ignores it, she does later reveal that Valmet is very important to her. As Valmet is the only other woman in the squad the two are typically roommates. Valmet is openly happy to receive any displays of affection or special attention that Koko bestows on her, sometimes to the point of getting a nosebleed on a couple occasions. Koko has also taken advantage of Valmet's attitude towards her to fondle her breasts on a couple of occasions.

#### Karen Low

Karen Low's affiliation with Chan made her an initial enemy of Valmet's and she eagerly confronted her when she recognised Karen's fighting style in South Africa. However, Valmet developed an empathy for Karen after her squad was wiped out, recognising that the latter was now in a similar situation as she was when Chan had annihilated her patrol. After Minami Amada recruited Karen to be her secretary, she and Valmet had to drop their rivalry after their respective bosses prevented them from getting into a second fight. Despite not caring about Mildo's idolisation of her and reluctantly accepting her rivalry, Valmet does not want the latter to go through what she did.

## Abilities

Despite missing an eye, this has not proven to be a liability to Valmet. She is remarkable strong, able to easily subdue a larger man with a single hand, and is fast enough to dodge bullets at close range. Like all the members of the squad she is proficient with a variety of firearms. A master at knife fighting, Valmet excels at close quarters combat, where she can put her strength and speed to deadly effect. Ironically it was her defeat by Chan that drove her to train harder to improve her close combat skills, and she unconsciously began to emulate his fighting style. Valmet can either wield two knives at once or a pistol and a knife, and has bested both Mildo and Karen respectively in this manner. She has also demonstrated the ability to sneak up on a target without them noticing her presence.

Valmet is highly resilient, particularly after awakening in the hospital despite having been shot twice by Karen and then doing sit-ups after talking with Koko.
