Eleonora Gunhilde von Ravenhoven

Eleonora

## Description

Großmeisterin von Walküren Eleonora Gunhilde von Ravonhoven is a Great Giant and the current Grandmaster of the Valkyrie Order. Serving in the Valkyries since 9651 TA, Eleonora swiftly rose through the ranks to become a Hochmeisterin during the Albonic-Preussen War.

She stands at 140'5", and weighs 92,200 lbs. She wears a custom suit of armor specially designed to have human soldiers capable of operating within it like a siege tower.

She is fair-skinned, with brown eyes and dark raven hair. She is ethnically Preussen.

## Personality

Eleonora is determined, stubborn and generally very obstinate. Her unwavering nature has been both a great asset and a detriment in her career, as she finds herself frequently butting heads with the generals of the Preussen realm.

Even so, she is fiercely loyal. Her loyalty firstly lies with the Pontiff and the Church. Though she answers only to the Pontiff alone, and not to any of his subordinates. Secondly her loyalty lies with Preus.

She has served many emperors, but few were as young as Otto Helmut von Hohenbaden was when he took the throne after the unfortunate death of his father. She acts as a matronly mentor to the young Emperor. Acting both as an ardent protector and as a tutor, Eleonora has acted as a mother to the orphaned Emperor, showing a compassionate side she had rarely ever demonstrated before.

## Abilities

Eleonora is a unusually large Great Giant, being roughly 20 feet larger than the average female Great Giant. She uses this to her advantage, frequently able to bear down on her opponents, even if they are Great Giants themselves.

She uses a myriad of weapons, including a sword named *Gerechtigkeitsbringer*, and a large tower shield. These are her prefered weapons.

Her skills in battle are unmatched among the Walküren, and generally unmatched among the Great Giants, save for perhaps the legendary Samson Strong.

She is also well-educated, and as demonstrated with her tutelage of the young Otto Helmut, she is highly intelligent.

## Possessions

Eleonora possesses the legendary blade *Gerechtigkeitsbringer*, as well as a massive tower shield. In addition to this, she owns a warhammer, spear, and priestly staff all sized suitably to her.

She also wears a far more finely crafted and more elegant variant of the Walküre Armor. This fine armor was specifically designed to fit soldiers within to act as a siege tower.

Perhaps one of the most important possessions she has is a Circlet known as *Größenwechsler*, this circlet, a Circlet of Human Perfection, makes Eleonora incomparably beautiful, as well as (more importantly) making her the same size as any other human. While wearing the *Größenwechsler* Eleonora is 5'7.

## Relationships

Eleonora has no active romantic relationships, though she for a while was in a romantic relationship with Veronika Schürmann von Arberiter. The two decided, however, that a romantic relationship whilst in the Order could potentially compromise their loyalty. They do still meet, however, in secret, but this relationship is purely physical.

In terms of platonic relationships, her largest one is with the young Kaiser. She acts as his tutor and has an almost matronly relationship with him.

## History

Eleonora was born near Baden, as the scion of the von Ravenhoven dynasty.
