Eruption Type: Semi-Deliberate
Concept: Valkyrie! Old Norse supergirl
Virtue: Charmer: Regain WP when you clearly provide comfort and good cheer to another.

Description

Tall, blonde and statuesque, Valkyrie looks like she stepped out of the front page of a superhero magazine. Usually seen wearing her moulded chainmail costume, which she claims is there to keep it from tearing in the heat of battle. Aside from that and her constant tendency to mouth of or get involved in some other scandal she is a valuable addition to the EU Nova program, not least because she'll actually follow orders in combat.

Background Story

Katharina Nordmark was a boring, geekish girl who liked comic books and pastries, as a result the only thing she had in common with the blonde bombshells in the comics was their hair-colour. As the Nova's began to erupt she naturally followed countless other fangirls to see these new gods upon the Earth and if possible to join them or at least bask in their glory.

Much to her delight a close fought Nova battle that she happened to stumble into made her erupt into Valkyrie. Of course several of her fellow fangirls were not so lucky and she herself found that being a new Nova could be extremely dangerous when violent and suspicious types were throwing vast amounts of energy around. Nearly getting herself killed pounded home in her head the lesson that she was superhuman, but not immortal.

Unlike many other Novas she decided against becoming a model or actress, partly because she thought that was silly. Ordinarily she would probably have joined Team Tomorrow, but a heated argument over her costuming choice and her ideas about immigration made her leave in a huff. On the other hand many of the Nova Elite agencies seemed like they'd offer a bit too much excitement, and more to the point they were rather morally dubious.

Fortunately the European Union's military, seeing itself on the losing side of the Nova gathering struggle, was desperate for combat Novas, any combat Novas. Much to their enormous relief the psychological review showed that she was quite stable and easy to get along with. Thus it was fairly easy to train her up to an acceptable level and to get her to follow orders. As long as said orders had to do with the battlefield or training that is...

Sleeping around was one thing, that was embarrassing but could be ignored, but her tendency to mouth off and make smart assed remarks in public was less pleasant. It wasn't long before she got the nickname Captain Scandalous, known for her tendency to make decisively un-PC remarks. Which combined with her natural good looks meant that the press gathered around her like cats around a fish mongers.
