Conformation: Small, compact, lean for a draft-type build Wings: Dove-like; grow behind her ears Colour: Kvit (dun with double cream dilution) Genotype: ee/aa/CrCr/DD Eye Colour: Light blue Mane/Tail: Unusually long, and dense; cream (appears white); tail is bound by a string of leather below the dock. Visible Accessories: Helm, Spear, Vambraces, Necklace The pure, ancient bloodline Valkyrie (and all in the Sisterhood), bears is a sound blend of draft muscling and bone, with smaller size and greater agility. Upon her characteristically short and powerful, beautifully arched neck, is carried a well-proportioned, medium-sized skull with a broad, flat forehead and slightly dished profile; the bright expression tapers down to a pastel-pink muzzle with a cream-tinted border so pale it appears white. Large light-blue eyes are expressive and kind, set below small forward-focused ears, and a dense cascade of ivory mane. Off-white feathered wings, about the size of a dove’s, grow from the bone behind both ears, and before them rests an intricately crafted, golden helm - worn traditionally by each and every Shieldmaiden. Her neck settles well beneath the neck, between strong, sloping shoulders to create an upward and outward flexing image, and she possesses good depth through the girth, a well muscled and short back, and a deep barrel; her back, loins, croup, and brawny-quarters are all in perfect harmony. Each leg beneath is sturdy and short, with sound conformation and a small amount of feathering at the fetlock; her forelegs are barred very faintly above the knee. Valkyrie’s naturally thick coat is pale (near white), cremello in colour with similarly light markings true to her breed; the hair becomes particularly dense, fleecy, during the coldest months. Though roached traditionally by males, (a crescent shape to accentuate both the full-length dorsal and strength of their neck), the young Sheildmaiden’s mane has been left to grow longer, thick, pale and heavy; pouring down to the left from her crest. So too does her tail reflect this ivory composition; it is also coarse, straight and long, with even ends sweeping the earth as she walks, bound only by a thin string of leather at the middle. |

Birth - The Rift: Year 1174 Late Scorch
Kingdom: Sunnmøre
Tribe: Sisterhood of the Shieldmaidens The Sisterhood is an ancient culture of elitist, enigmatic, and feminist Pegasus women who have carved their existence into the harsh, jagged, rocky tors of northernmost Loorien. The wind-lashed, weather-beaten mountain cliffs provide an environment that only serves to compliment and nurture the Shieldmaidens’ stubborn quest for supremacy above the injustice of masculinity, and though their resilience and strength are fabled, the true nature of their intimate world is widely unknown. Precarious goat-trails cut into the sheer rock face over hundreds (if not thousands) of years, provide a network of rough roads between various caverns. These are exquisitely fashioned rooms beneath the iced, moaning peaks themselves, with prose and portrait adorning every available surface; lanterns strung along thin leather at the ceiling leak soft warm light upon it all, and as the Sister’s move therein, shifting shadow seems to stir the works to life. Ancient law defines their ridged hierarchy, structure and lifestyle; the High-Maiden, both gifted aesthetically - with longer, lusher hair then all other Sisters, and proven skill in combat (she too, heads their force during battle), dwells in the most lavish of all caverns at the top of the mountain. Beneath her, no less than three Advisers of the Shield bed together, and guide their leader with great wisdom and judgement; they bring necessary equilibrium to the Sisterhood, providing objectivity and steadiness to a militaristic-minded culture. Then fall the caverns of the Witch-Sisters - four accomplished women whose magical expertise, nurtured to exceed the limited telekinesis of all other Shieldmaidens (including the High-Maiden and her Advisors), enables them to heal and craft for the betterment of the Sisterhood. Within the more general caverns below, countless Nurses tend to magically manufactured eggs and the Daughters already hatched in the nursery, and other Sisters mingle, spar and grow morale; they are both each other’s sisters and lovers in a world devoid of male influence. Matrimony is unheard of – it is a form of control over women, unacceptable brainwashing and dominance. Interaction with men, though avoided in a general manner, is a necessary evil undertaken to eliminate their grip and liberate the vulnerable feminine population throughout Loorien. In a culture of moral excellence and physical perfection, aesthetic quality is imperative – hence, the reason children are molded with magic and incubated in eggs; their quality is exact, replicating the hereditary look of each Sister effortlessly, and ensuring no weakness of any sort, in the line. They are of exclusive Fjord breeding, and each Shieldmaiden wears a thick, ‘kvit’-coloured coat of the faintest creamy dun-gold. Both mane and tail share this hue and they grow unusually long and thick (modified genetically to do so) the latter is bound below the dock with a single string of leather. Eyes are pale blue, startling, though attractive, and framed by the same powder pink skin as the muzzle. Miniaturised wings grow from the bone behind the ear, almost dovelike in size and form, each nestled below the fan of intricate, plated-titanium – traditional dress both in battle and out, the Helm of the Shieldmaidens detailed with gold, silver and bronze, and two striking aquamarine gemstones. Along with this, each Sister carries always with her a titanium spear. At the age of two, as part of the formal initiation into the Sisterhood of the Shieldmaidens, each Daughter expects to partake in the annual Trial of the Shield event. They (and previous Sisters, who are encouraged to join), compete in good nature to bring first before the High-Maiden a prize from the corpse of a young male equid (a part of him taken before returning the creature to nourish the earth). The winner of this event is granted enhanced training in the advisory or witchery fields, and is thus taken on as an apprentice; the next two to follow are taken then to be trained in nursing. Training as a Shieldmaiden for all Sisters begins at birth and continues throughout their life. The Rift: Year 1174 Scorch
It was summer in northern Loorien when Valkyrie set forth on the adventure that would change her world forever. Leaving the comforts and familiarity of Sunnmōre, as well as her beloved Sisterhood—who had forged within her potent loathing for masculinity—the adolescent was hurled unceremoniously into the perilous world of the Rift. Throughout the months of Scorch, she travelled through the southern regions of the strange, surreal, world, (apparently) giving hope to others and reforming long lost realms with the same, until at last their efforts gave birth to a new deity; who in turn created the Rift’s first herd. After an unfortunate sequence of events following—two stallions rising to leadership and a curse—Valkyrie found herself fleeing into the far, Western Mists. It was there that her desperation for power became real.

A season of significance and personal development, it was through the peak of Drench that Valkyrie was able to make relative peace (still uncomfortable, of course, but resigned to the awful indignity), with the curse placed upon her, by the goddess Hope. Around the same time she reunited with K’yarie, her crush and idol, and discovered the extent of the malediction: not only did she herself look like the wrong gender, so did everyone else! The stubborn Shieldmaiden began to view those around her differently, with new perspective; she was learning quickly that she could manipulate thoughts and feelings, and that in turn meant power. The seed of an idea planted in her mind and she sought a series of trials from the Rift to progress it. Some time much later, when the endlessness of Drench was beginning to taper out, Valkyrie came across another mare by the Portal and the plan to create a Sisterhood of her own began o evolve—despite all lack of immediate support.
