## Appearance

Rossweisse is a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure and large breasts, long straight silver hair and aqua-colored eyes who appears to be in her late teens. Her body measurements are [B96-W61-H89 cm] [B38-W24-H35 in]; height is 173 cm (5 feet 8 inches) and body weight is [59 kg].

Her battle attire is normally of a set of Valkyrie armor, which consists of a white breastplate with gold and pale blue accents and matching, fingerless gauntlets, boots, hip guards, and wing-shaped hair clips.

She also wears a black leotard underneath her breastplate, black thigh-high stockings, and a pale blue cloth wrapped underneath her hip guards, all of which are clad with pink lacing along with her hair clips.

For her teaching position at Kuoh Academy, she wears a simple business suit and skirt. When she is not at work, she is noted for often wearing cheap, plain jerseys. It was pointed out by Euclid that Rossweisse has a strong resemblance to his sister, Grayfia, as both of them have silver hair.

Whenever in battle, she is usually dressed in a white combat dress akin to a bikini with a breastplate, a garter belt on her waist with features on its side, a crown-like bonnet, which has white feathers on both sides, armored shoulder pads that have a short white cape, and a silver necklace around her neck that is sort of shaped like a ribbon in the middle.

In the Azazel Cup, Rossweisse dons a white cloak that covers her face. Underneath, she wears a black high-neck décolletage blouse with studded wristbands on the arms, a black and white overbust corset, a skirt with white tulle underneath, gray leggings, and knee-high boots with red soles.

## Personality

Rossweisse is known to be a very serious person, acting professional prioritizing work and study above all else since her youth, this however, caused her to miss out on romance, thus is extremely bitter and sensitive about not having a boyfriend and is quick to anger or sadness when made fun of.

She has taken a liking to her role as a teacher in education for her students, making sure they understand her lessons and helping them whenever they're in a bind and is appreciated for it. Rossweisse has little tolerance for those who behave unprofessionally, especially for lewd acts at inappropriate times.

When she lectures them on standards, they usually retort with her simply being jealous. This may have some truth to it as on numerous occasions she has expressed interests in doing perverted things with her future boyfriend, she also desires her lover to be financially stable with a bright future.

Despite her seriousness, she is stated to be clumsy and has a tendency to make rash decisions without informing anyone. She is highly susceptible to alcohol as one drink from it can leave her drunk and vomit for extended periods of time.

Rossweisse has a lot of repressed baggage from upholding her uptight and modest demeanor which goes out the window when drunk and begins opening her true thoughts and frustrations.

She also has a compulsion to buy things at sales when they're cheap, showing enthusiastic excitement whenever she goes to 100-Yen shops, causing Issei to dub her "The 100-Yen Shop Valkyrie". Rossweisse also has a tendency to speak using her country's accent when she is flustered.

Like the other girls, Rossweisse acts like someone her age whenever she is on a date with Issei as she ended up acting shy when she was called cute. She soon develops romantic feelings for Issei in Auros Academy when he proclaimed to her that he will protect her from Eucild, which he did.

After falling in love with Issei and becoming engaged to him, Rossweisse has started to partake in perverted activities she normally frowns upon, such as wanting him to apply suntan oil on her, sleeping with him while wearing revealing lingerie and fighting with the other girls over him.

She has a strong sense of morality, which also directly stems from his upbringing. She believes her worth in life depends on her Longinus to protect others and has an aversion to the abuse of one's power and to preventable deaths. She values life and tries to help even her enemies at times. This is seen through her interactions with Enyo, Hela, and Utgard-Loki and during her battles with Eric.

However, on the flip side, Rossweisse has a black/white binary view of morality and of good/evil of the world in which he tries to help those she can relate to who have suffered like her, but ignores and rejects the personal struggles or suffering of those she deems "evil", even when his opponents can teach her greater lessons about combat, life, or different world views.

This is most evident through her view of Eynhildre whom she refuses to understand and whom she has hypocritically dehumanized as a monster who can only cause destruction and kill, despite Eynhildre's many attempts to understand Rossweisse as a person.

This quality of Rossweisse has greatly hurt her partnership with Eynhildre in battle as she had no trust in her due to her rigid views of her in her mind. Although still struggling with her self-esteem and the words of her late Cousin, Rossweisse gradually improves her confidence and sense of self after joining the Hyoudou Issei's Peerage.

She continues to be strengthened by several missions and the clashes between the Khaos Brigade, Hero Faction, Alliance of Hell, and Qlippoth Faction (among others). Her will hardens in these tough situations, and she becomes steadfast, reliable, and intensely caring. However, she still experiences paralyzing fear of fighting alone and often needs a companion to aid her in battle or at times save her in order to feel powerful.

## History

### Early Life

Rossweisse was raised in the countryside by her grandmother, Göndul, as both her parents are warriors who serve the Norse Gods and rarely come home. Rossweisse was born into a house that specializes in three types of spiritual magic known as the rune, gandol, and seiz styles that have been down through her family generations.

While still a child, Rossweisse went through several ceremonies that were meant for her to inherit her family's magical crest, but she wasn't able to inherit it, and her cousin ended up receiving the position as the family head instead. She previously had difficulty living up to her families expectations due to Rossweisse's incompatibility with the magic seiz-style.

### Magic Training

As a consequence of trying to make up for her perceived shortcomings in magic, Rossweisse's school life was completely academic, to the point that she did not have a social life and looked down on her classmates that rarely spent any time studying, which contributed to Rossweisse's rapid grade skipping through high-school and college and her degrading nickname, "The Valkyrie that's never had a boyfriend."

Her talent in other fields grew exponentially enough to surprise her grandmother, Göndul, however, it was still not enough to live up to everyone's high standards, yet after all this time, her clan was still very understanding as they did not blame or criticize her for her shortcomings.

### Becoming a Odin's Servant

While in college, Rossweisse wrote an essay about Trihexa but never published it. Regardless, she is considered to be a sought-after expert on the creature by Qlippoth. While working as a Valkyrie, she had trouble finding souls of heroes to bring to Valhalla. At some point before the series, she was appointed as Odin's bodyguard.

During her time with Odin, Rossweisse was basically used as a maid by Odin, taking care of him during his trips, supporting Odin with his daily life, despite her small salary, and was even mistreated by her fellow Valkyries who called her Odin's "Servant Girl".

At some point during her time serving Odin, the Einjerhar Sigurd, and the Arch-Valkyrie, Brynhildr took pity on her and took her under their wing. Brynhildr was the one who taught Rossweisse most of the magic she knows today.

## Equipment

**Mistilteinn Wand**: A powerful magical weapon originating from Asgard, which is normally only used by God-class beings. An old-looking wand made out of mistilteinn (mistletoe), possessing powerful magic. Mistilteinn can strengthen Rossweisse's magic and spells, such as her defensive magic to guard against Brynhildr's magically-imbued sword and strengthen her offensive magic bombardment enough to retire Brynhildr with a single blast. The wand is capable of enhancing Rossweisse's magic spells to the point where she is able to cast a spell capable of summoning meteors and comets from space. Misteleinn Wand was recently reforged as an Enochian Weapon.

**Angurvadal**: often shortened to just **Angul**, is a "True" Holy Sword that belonged to the Norse Pantheon. Known in the supernatural community as the **SIlver White-studded Sword** and the **Magic-Slaying Holy Sword**, It possesses immense destructive power, as well as the power to not only nullify, but also completely destroyed magic. After six days of training in the Asgard, Rossweisse has gained the ability to remotely control the Anti-Magic within the sword, allowing her to summon the sword back to herself by holding her hand open and calling its name, as well as ride it through the air. The blade can negate and nullify the powers of divine and eldritch beings such as Primordial Deities and Outer Gods, preventing them from using their powers, effectively making them powerless. It can kill a deity/deities or any divine embodiment they may choose to get rid of. They are resistant to the effects of a deity and are capable of killing the specified deity.

### Formerly

**Valkyrie Horses:** Valkyries' horses are special horses that also serve as a device to improve a Valkyrie's performance when using Bifrost, allowing them to travel more quickly and accurately than other gods. The horse is smart enough to be able to understand human language and to write the Asgardian runes with his hoofs, and he's able to easily throw off an average god.

**Einherjar:** Like other Valkyries, Rossweisse has the ability to command and control the Einherjar, Asgard's army made of the souls of heroes and legendary warriors. Valkyries are apparently able to summon Einherjar wherever they go, which combined with their fast deployment using Bifrost gives Asgard a powerful military that can act in any of the nine worlds.

**Spear of Destroying Lightning:** Rossweisse can create multiple bluish-white spears made of the lightning that falls from the sky. The spears can be used to produce powerful lightning strikes or as a melee weapon. The spears destroys both body and soul. A single swing can annihilate multiple enemies, as it will destroy the average evil spirit if it so much as grazes them.

**Rook Piece** (戦車の駒, *Sensha no koma*): Rossweisse was reincarnated using the Rook Piece, which grants her enhanced offense and defense. Although, she used its defensive traits to strengthen the effectiveness of her defensive barriers.
