Göndul

**Göndul** is a powerful and famous Valkyrie and magician in the Norse Pantheon. She is the current bodyguard of Freya, the Goddess of Beauty, and former leader of the Valkyrie Corps.

She is the foruth-eldest valkyrie creation of Odin and the younger sister of Brynhildr, Eir, Geirdriful and older sister of Gunnr, Hildr, Kara, Olrun, Ròta and Sigrún. She is consort of Frithiof the Bold, the largest and strongest viking of his time.

She is also mother of notorious Valkyrie Edelweiss, who once wielded the Divine Dividing and became one of the few Godslayers of the modern age and the strongest White Dragon Empress.

She is a grandmother of Rossweisse, Rook of Hyoudou Issei's Peerage and Eynhildre, the rogue valkyrie and the cousin of Eric, the Leader of Draconian. Recently, She became a Magic teacher in Auros Academy.

## Overview

Göndul is known as a great magician and Valkyrie in Norse mythology. Göndul (from Old Norse "wand-wielder") is attested in *Heimskringla*, *Sörla þáttr*, and a 14th-century Norwegian charm. In addition, Göndul appears within the valkyrie list in the *Poetic Edda* poem *Völuspá*, in both of the two *Nafnaþulur* lists found in the *Prose Edda*, and among the valkyries listed in *Darraðarljóð*.

## Appearance

Göndul is described as a beautiful young tall woman around Rossweisse's age, and slender with large breasts. She has long whie-silver hair, slightly tinged blue  and purple eyes. She wears a blue officer's uniform with a skirt and black stockings.

She has a fearless look, appears to be the same height as Rossweisse, has a good posture, and looks to have a slim figure overall. She is able to shapeshift her form into an elderly woman who wears a deep blue colored robe. She had done this so her enemies underestimated her.

## Personality

Göndul is shown to care deeply for her granddaughter, Rossweisse. However, she is constantly pressuring Rossweisse to find a boyfriend. This, however, is mainly out of the concern for Rossweisse to find someone to take care of her so Göndul won't have to worry about her anymore.

She seems to be happy with Issei as her granddaughter's lover, even encouraging the two of them to consummate together, much to Rossweisse's embarrassment. She is also not above reprimanding Rossweisse, as seen when she was upset at Rossweisse for reincarnation into a devil without telling her, although she did understand the circumstances leading up to the event.

Göndul is strict and slightly sadistic at times, though she does care for the well-being of her subordinates. She is very interested in Japanese culture, with tatami mats laid across the floor of her office and various Japanese decorations placed throughout her office.

Similar to Rossweisse, Göndul also has a tendency to speak using her country's accent when agitated. Like her granddaughter, She is highly susceptible to alcohol as one drink from it can leave her drunk and vomit for extended periods of time.

## History

She was the one to raise her granddaughter Rossweisse in the countryside. Göndul would be the one to teach her grandchild on life lessons, such as warning her not to associate with any bad boys and recklessly lose her chastity to them, though Rossweisse interpreted it as not having any relations before marriage.
