Brunhilde/Relationships

These are the relationships **Brunhilde** established with other characters.

## Allies and Family

### Siegfried

While much details and history is unknown, Brunhilde has demonstrated that her feelings for Siegfried are not to be tested or foiled with. When Buddha asked if her "ex" and Ragnarok were connected, Brunhilde produced an aura of hostility towards the casual mention of her boyfriend, especially as an ex. After cooling down and heading out to prepare for Round 9 of Ragnarok, Brunhilde clarified with a wicked smile that Siegfried is not her ex, but her current and still is, her boyfriend.

From Brunhilde's reaction and Buddha's findings, Siegfried's imprisonment in Taurturus was one of the main catalysts for Brunhilde for starting Ragnarok against the gods.

### Valkyries

#### Göll

Brunhilde loves all of her sisters deeply (though she doesn't show it openly) including Göll with the youngest of the 13th always by Brunhilde's side.

Despite being together often, the two clash with one another especially as the events of Ragnarok progresses. Partly due to Brunhilde not showing her true emotions when the sisters that particpate in Ragnarok lose their lives while Brunhilde chastizes the younger of her ignorance on what is at stake in this tournament. Eventually the two make up after their major fights.

With Brunhilde's cold and sometimes outrageous behavior and Göll's skittish and innocent nature make the two have an iconic duo act together.

#### Randgriz

Brunhilde loves all of her sisters deeply (though she doesn't show it openly) including Randgriz.

While not much is known on the specifics of their sisterly bond, Randgriz gladly volunteered and agreed to participate in the first round of Ragnarok with no hesitation or regret.

#### Reginleif

Brunhilde loves all of her sisters deeply (though she doesn't show it openly) including Reginleif.

While not much is known on the specifics of their sisterly bond, Reginleif still agreed and followed her eldest sister into Ragnarok, being partnered with Adam.

#### Hrist

Brunhilde loves all of her sisters deeply (though she doesn't show it openly) including Hrist.

While not much is known on the specifics of their sisterly bond, Hrist (both personalities) agreed to participate in Ragnarok. Upon the second loss of Humanity and as Brunhilde angrily ate away her feelings, Hrist's calm personality stayed by her side for comfort. As for Hrist's wrathful side, she was eager to pay the Gods back for the loss of her two sisters, Reginleif and Randgriz. After Sasaki's victory, the wrathful side gave a thumbs up to Brunhilde and Göll on their victory.

#### Hlökk

Brunhilde loves all of her sisters deeply (though she doesn't show it openly) including Hlökk.

While not much is known on the specifics of their sisterly bond, Brunhilde shows no tolerance to Hlökk's spoiled and arrogant nature especially on matters of the upmost importance. This was demonstrated harshly when Brunhilde brought the serial killer, Jack the Ripper, with her when fetching Hlökk for the 4th round of Ragnarok with the man forcing the Valkyrie through choking to Volund with him against her will. While Brunhilde watched the horrific act and did nothing, she did bear some discomfort on such forcefulness with her only allowing it as Hlökk was the key to their victory over Heracles.

#### Thrud

Brunhilde loves all of her sisters deeply (though she doesn't show it openly) including Thrud.

While not much is known on the specifics of their sisterly bond, Thrud demonstrated to be one of the more active participants in Ragnarok compared to the other Valkyries. This was shown when Thrud immedately came stomping in Raiden Tameemon's quarters after Brunhilde called for her.

#### Alvitr

Brunhilde loves all of her sisters deeply (though she doesn't show it openly) including Alvitr.

While not much is known on the specifics of their sisterly bond, Brunhilde was concerned enough to visit Alvitr in the medical bay upon her critical condition after winning the 7th Round of Ragnarok.

#### Göndul

Brunhilde loves all of her sisters deeply (though she doesn't show it openly) including Göndul.

While not much is known on the specifics of their sisterly bond, Göndul appeared immediately to Brunhilde upon her being called. Unlike Thrud though, Göndul was more interested in the shared desire of her partner, Nikola Tesla, who wanted to be used to further progress the evolution of science.

#### Geirölul

Brunhilde loves all of her sisters deeply (though doesn't show it openly) including Geirölul.

While not much is known on the specifics of the relationship between Brunhilde and Geirölul, Geirölul proudfully partnered with Leonidus for the 9th round of Ragnarok. She did this without hesitation unlike the other prideful sibling, Hlökk who admired the elder sister for that character, but still refused to fight at first when selected. Though it's also possible she only went along for the same reason as Leonidas with the arrogant Apollo looking down on them.

### Einherjar

#### Lü Bu

Lü Bu like many of the fighters of Ragnarok was selected by Brunhilde for specific and varied reasons. While the details for Lü Bu specifically fighting Thor is less known than the others, Brunhilde sent him out to test the Volundr and hopefully his combat power and Randgriz's power could destroy Thor's arsenal. Regardless, Lü Bu was eager to fight as he never had anyone to rival him when he was alive with the Norse God of Thunder being his greatest opponent he ever fought .

#### Adam

Adam like many of the fighters of Ragnarok was selected by Brunhilde for specific and varied reasons. Brunhilde specifically chose Adam to fight Shiva as Adam could copy and counter attack the Hindu God with his Divine Reflection. While no specific relation with Adam is known, Brunhilde does honor the father of Humanity with her following his ideals on needing no reason to fight for his children.

#### Kojiro Sasaki

Sasaki like many of the fighters of Ragnarok was selected by Brunhilde for specific and varied reasons. The specifics for Sasaki's original role is unknown upon the sudden change in fighters in Round 2 and the heavy hitter, Poseidon, being selected for the following round.

While Brunhilde was considering who to send out for the 3rd, Sasaki placed himself as the third fighter of Ragnarok with Brunhilde and other valkyries shocked at his sudden appearance. While not convinced at first, Sasaki quickly changed her opinion on him fighting upon effortlessly catching a falling pitcher of milk with him managing to catch every loose drop before they even touched the ground. This made her excitedly chose Sasaki to fight Poseidon with it paying off as Sasaki was the first human fighter to kill a God with Brunhilde and Göll cheering him.

#### Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper like many of the fighters of Ragnarok was selected by Brunhilde for specific and varied reasons. Unlike other fighters of Ragnarok, Jack the Ripper was not chosen out of respect nor Brunhilde cared for the man. Brunhilde specifically scouted him out due to his true criminal record and being the most dispicable filth around; mastering the one thing humans are superior at than gods: malice. This made Jack the Ripper the ideal canidate and foil to the heroic and unwavering god, Heracles. It was only due to this fact that Brunhilde allowed Jack to forcefully make Hlökk perform Volundr with him (though the act did horrify Brunhilde on the inside).

#### Raiden Tameemon

Raiden like many of the fighters of Ragnarok was selected by Brunhilde for specific and varied reasons. While it is unknown what Brunhilde's original plan was for Raiden, he was selected as the second best fighter against Shiva due to his immense strength and 100 seals. The rikishi tried to pounce on Brunhilde upon assuming she was there on the desire to sleep with him with Brunhilde effortlessly stopping his advances while bearing no ill-will towards his actions.

#### Buddha

Similiar to how Buddha treated Zero during the 6th Round of Ragnarok, Buddha compares Brunhilde's actions toward the gods as "puberty issues". Unlike many of the other Gods, the two actively cooperate with one another with Buddha having taught Brunhilde all that is to Volundr upon her requesting to learn about it. When Buddha requested to participate in the 6th round for humanity instead of the gods, Brunhilde allowed him though Buddha made it clear he was only doing it for himself. As he left, Brunhilde was left a bit intimidated and stated that Buddha was a terrible man.

The two have a strong enough bond to give each other nicknames with Buddha calling her Bu-chan while Brunhilde calls him Buddha-chan.

#### Qin Shi Huang

Qin Shi Huang like many of the fighters of Ragnarok was selected by Brunhilde for specific and varied reasons. While it is unknown what Brunhilde's original plan was for Qin Shi Huang due to the change in fighters upon Hades joining in after Buddha fought for humaninty, Qin was selected to fight the God of the underworld. Like many others, Qin Shi Huang did not act according to Brunhilde's will but rather his own as he declares himself the Greatest King of them all, including the gods.

#### Nikola Tesla

Nikola like many of the fighters of Ragnarok was selected by Brunhilde for specific and varied reasons. Brunhilde specifically chose Tesla due to his science being compared to magic which would help in fighting off and possibly getting passed the defences of the Lord of Flies, Beelzebub. Nikola Tesla was only interested to fight as it could further the evolution of science.

#### Leonidas

Leonidas like most of the fighters of Ragnarok was selected by Brunhilde for specific and varied reasons. Brunhilde specifically chose him for his Spartan will and to go up against the Sun God, Apollo, who happened to be a god Leonidas despised. Leonidas did not initially like how he was treated by Brunhilde, refusing to fight at first as he wasn't sent in the first or last round of Ragnarok. This changed to eagerness in an instant upon Brunhilde enticing him that his next opponent is Apollo with Leonidas wanting to break his pretty face.

## Enemies

### Zeus

Out of the many gods out there, Brunhilde despises and hates Zeus with the man actively going against her in Ragnarok. This was clearly shown when Zeus switched places with Shiva for the 2nd Round of Ragnarok with Adam supposed to be the perfect foil to Shiva. After Adam's death in the 2nd Round, Brunhilde went into an immediate eating spree out of anger towards the Greek God.

Vice-versa, Zeus views Brunhilde as a threat though he initially enjoyed her selection of fighters which made Ragnarok fun. This changed as more Gods lost their lives with Zeus urging the others to not let the Humans take the lead.

### Odin

Odin is the head of the Norse Pantheon with Brunhilde originally serving under him until she brought up the events of Ragnarok. Though direct conversations between the two is not really known as his ravens Huginn & Muninn mostly argue for him with them mostly stating their own opinions more than their master's. This is complicated further as Odin has admitted his desire for Ragnarok and would go so far as to threaten other gods like Beelzebub to not interfere. Still, he does not like Brunhilde's successful wins and seeing fellow Gods lose or betray them for humans.

#### Thor

Being both from the same pantheon, Brunhilde and Thor have been familiar with each other up to the events of Ragnarok. While the specifics are not really known, both Brunhilde and Thor know everything from each other such Brunhilde knowing how his weapons work to make a counterattack strategy to Thor knowing the Valkyrie was scheming something. Other than that, Brunhilde, Göll and most likely the other Valkyries are frightened of Thor due to his immense strength and bloodlust. This fear was shown when Brunhilde quickly kneeled the moment she detected Thor's prescence even before her sister Göll and Incubus who were there with them. Just like most of the Gods, Thor sees Brunhilde as a threat, however, he did not use their first encounter to finish of the Valkeryie. Instead, only requesting to not dissapoint him when he competes, otherwise he would kill her.

Despite his victory of Lü Bu, Thor was satisfied from the challenge and left Brunhilde alone while watching the progression of Ragnarok.

#### Loki

Just like Thor and Odin, Loki and Brunhilde are part of the same pantheon of Gods and have known each other up ot the events of Ragnarok. Much has not been known about their specific relationship, but it appears Loki at first wanted to be entertained by what the Valkyrie had in store. This was demonstrated from the first few rounds of Ragnarok where he spent most of the time goofing off such as eating potato chips, playing tricks on Odin's ravens by disguising as Thor and visiting other pantheon's chambers. Like Zeus, their playfulness changed to seriousness when more Gods were killed by humans. Loki even went as far as to find Buddha to kill him when he suspected the God of teaching Brunhilde about Völundr.

#### Poseidon

While it is unknown on if they've encountered each other up to the points of Ragnarok, she was deeply afraid of the sea god's might and wrath, especially after showing up for the third round. So much, it put her in a rare moment of panic as she debated who to send with her even considering her heavy hitters like Qin Shi Huang, Leonidas and Michel Nostradamus. Most of this fear quickly faded away however when Kojiro Sasaki selected himself for the third round and demonstrated his newfound abilities since arriving in the afterlife.

#### Heracles

Thus far apart from Buddha, Heracles is the only god she has shown compassion and love for, almost the same as Göll's view of him as a brother. In the same chamber she stores all of the memorial shrines of the Einherjar who've died in Ragnarok, she placed his among them and weeped as she said she'd join him once Ragnarok was over. Heracles more of less also cared for the Valkyries including Brunhilde with him stoked on his upcoming match, though did warn her to be ready.

Despite their kind relationship, they both have had complications for one another. For Brunhilde, she chose Jack the Ripper as his challenger as she knew the man's abnormal and teriffying malice could match Heracle's strong will. Once Heracles saw his challenger, he shouted at Brunhilde in anger for having a serial killer who preyed on the innocent be his opponent unlike the honarable human fighters before this. Though Heracles would apologize for saying those words when he was passing away and learning more about Jack.
