Brunhild

**Brunhild** (, *Brunhild*?), also known as **Brunhilda** (, *Brunhilda*?), **Brynhild** (, *Brynhild*?), **Brynhildr** (ブリュンヒルデ, *Brynhildr*?), **Brunhild** (, *Brunhild*?), **Brunhilde** (, *Brunhilde*?) and **Brunhildr** (, *Brunhildr*?), is a powerful female figure from Germanic heroic legend. She may have her origins in the Visigothic princess Brunhilda of Austrasia.

In the Norse tradition, Brunhild is a shieldmaiden or valkyrie, who appears as a main character in the Völsunga saga and some Eddic poems treating the same events. In the continental Germanic tradition, where she is a central character in the Nibelungenlied, she is a powerful Amazon-like queen. In both traditions, she is instrumental in bringing about the death of the hero Sigurd or Siegfried after he deceives her into marrying the Burgundian king Gunther or Gunnar. In both traditions, the immediate cause for her desire to have Sigurd murdered is a quarrel with the hero's wife, Gudrun or Kriemhild. In the Scandinavian tradition, but not in the continental tradition, Brunhild kills herself after Sigurd's death.

Brynhild Romantia.
A Noble Phantasm that has molded the deep feelings of love towards the fated person as the spear of magic silver that she employed while alive.
The deeper her love towards the target becomes, the more the weight and size of this spear will change.
It displays a especially tremendous efficacy in regards to her beloved Sigurd.
 Bond 5 | Even now, having turned into a Heroic Spirit, she still loves Sigurd deeply.
Nevertheless, if by any chance he is summoned before her, she will automatically point her spear towards him.
 Extra | In regards to the "dragon-slayer" hero Siegfried, who possesses the same origins as Sigurd, although she recognizes him as "someone different from Sigurd", it seems that she somehow senses something close to him and thus feverish gazes at him tries to get alone just the two of them.
(And then tries to kill him)
 April Fool's | Troubled-Type Servant
One of the beautiful Valkyries. Seems something is always troubling her, and she is always looking for someone. Rumor has it that she's been searching for the Mythical Servant Sigurd...

She forcibly modifies her Saint Graph with her own Primeval Runes!
Friendlily, so gently that
the usual instability of her Saint Graph looks like a lie, innocently, she together with the great hero Sigurd make a couple madly in love, but…
At night, a scream resounds.
Sigurd sinking in a sea of blood.
And, the appearance of Brnyhildr bathed in spurted blood.

However, unlike usual, she has completely unleashed her love towards her beloved Sigurd. She praises love without hesitating, and enjoys her vacation at the midsummer lake shore.
She doesn’t say dangerous words like “I’ll kill you” and “I will kill you, okay?”.
It’s almost like she has perfectly sealed her automatic murderous intent towards “her beloved one (Sigurd)” in this Saint Graph.
 Bond 3 | **○ Mad Enhancement: D-**
The Saint Graph itself has changed into a Berserker,
but the rating of the assigned Mad Enhancement skill is low.
Mutual understanding through language is possible.
**○ Svanhvít (Summer): A+**
A white bikini. Nay. This is a transformation into an adequate form for the midsummer lake shore of the Swan Mystic Code, the garments used by the warrior maidens that conquer the sky. It possesses a flight function.
