Question: Do Norse valkyries count as gods for purposes of qualifying for Servant status? They're angels that serve the gods, and Wikipedia at one point says that they are supposed to be gods... in exactly one sentence in exactly one article, as far as I know, so I doubt that information. Some of them would make good servants, particularly Sabers, Lancers, or Riders.
Saber[spoiler]
[/spoiler]
Identity: Brynhildr
Strength A
Mana C
Endurance A
Agility B
Luck C
Noble PhantasmsSupreme Arbiter, Gift of the Ultimate Decision (Anti-Army, EX)
Hindarfjall, Burning Fortress of Shields (Support, B++)
Andvarinaut, Ring of Ominous Calamity (??)
SkillsBravery: A
Divinity: E - Brynhildr was cursed by Odin to live the life of a mortal woman as a punishment for angering him, so the rank of her divinity is greatly reduced. (Should it be eliminated altogether?)
Eye of the Mind (True): C
Magic Resistance: B
Riding: C
Even if Valkyries are considered gods, Bryn ought to qualify by virtue of being condemned to live as a mortal. There's no real reason she's a Saber instead of a Lancer or Rider other than her holding a sword in the pic I found. Obviously, I took some liberties with Hindarfjall, as I didn't really find much info on it. Originally, she was imprisoned in a castle behind a wall of shields and surrounded by fire, which was situated on top of the mountain Hindarfjall. The castle itself doesn't seem to have been made of shields, but it seems to be one of the only items associated with Bryn, so I chose to go with Rule of Cool and combine the ring of fire, the wall, and the mountain's name into one defensive NP.
As the wall was made of multiple shields, it might work similarly to Rho Aius with multiple layers, or it might have a feedback-like effect due to the fire, retaliating for a blow with proportionate force. I'm pretty sure Excalibur wasn't a Wave Motion Gun in the myth, either.
On Andvarinaut, I've found even less info. According to wikipedia, it's supposed to bring ruin to its bearer. Thoughts on how to turn this into a useful NP are appreciated.
Bravery and Eye of the Mind have no relation to what I know about Brynhildr whatsoever, I just figured they fit with the whole "valkyrie" shtick. Since valkyries are also supposed to lead the einherjar to battle during Ragnarok IIRC, maybe some Charisma would also be appropiate.
And an alternate Touhou Archer (this one actually has a bow):
Archer[spoiler]
[/spoiler]
Identity: Eirin Yagokoro
Strength C
Mana C
Endurance B
Agility C
Luck B
Noble PhantasmsLunar Bow (C) - each arrow turns into a danmaku barrage.
Forbidden Arcanum: Hourai Elixir (A)
SkillsCharisma: C-? Enough to lead the Lunar Capital, but she eventually had to flee.
Item Construction: A+? She made a true, honest to goodness Immortality Elixir in canon. This isn't a class ability for her, however, so maybe it's dormant and doesn't work, like how Heracles lost some of his personal abilities due to Mad Enhancement.
Independent Action: B
Military Tactics: B or C - She's called the 'Brain of the Moon' for a reason. I think it was also her who repelled Yukari's first assault on the moon.
