The Valkyrie

The Valkyrie is a figure from Norse mythology, depicted as a warrior maiden who serves Odin. She selects fallen warriors from the battlefield, guiding them to Valhalla, Odin's hall, where they prepare for Ragnarok, the world's end battle. Valkyries are often portrayed as fierce, noble women riding flying horses, embodying honor and bravery. Historically, they symbolize the valor of warriors and the connection between life, death, and the divine in Norse belief.
