I hope it won't bother you, but I wanna ask a few questions about Valkyrie. I am very curious about what was Valkyrie like before. Who she dated before Flora. How she became friends with Crystal, Helia and Kota. And also, I am curious about who she had a crush on and has a crush on her. Does some specialist or witch(and maybe even a fairy) like her.

This will never bother me! I love getting to talk about my characters. (Or getting to talk about things like this in general. XD )

This is gonna get long, so I'm going to put this under a read more. :)

Young Valkyrie:

She's one of the smaller kids in her class, and smaller than most of the people in her family. (In her defense, her mother was under a lot of stress while pregnant, and Rancorians and Obsidinites don't tend to mix well due to internal body temperature differences, but still...)

Valkyrie comes from a long line of researchers and curious people, so she definitely inherits their inquisitive natures and their curiosity and need for knowledge.

Big animal lover! (Except for snakes/serpent like creatures, which will be explained later.) Her favorite will always cats though, as her familiar and her grandmother's familiar are cats.

Close to her cousin Morgan. Almost like sisters, considering they essentially lived together most of the time due to their parents working in Magix while they lived and went to school on Rancor. (Nana Theodora took care of them. Griffin and Salvador's mother.)

Valkyrie is very much like her mother in that she doesn't take slights or insults lightly. However, she's like her father in that her retaliation tends to be immediate. (Though pretty well thought out, like Griffin's revenge stories tend to be.)

She hates horror flicks. Always has, always will. (Though she can stick it out when need be.)

She writes. Though it's mostly to keep her thoughts and her memories separate from that of her Dragon. They tend to blend their souls together often, especially as she grows up, so this is her way of keeping them separate.

Valkyrie has done more elaborate revenge/"lesson teaching" plots similar to her mother's plans over the years. (She's gotten a teacher fired over their inherent biases that they allowed to blend into the classroom back in middle school, has shown up a sexist guy and his dad at her sword-fighting league tournaments, and has caught a creep in the act of creeping and essentially shamed them pretty publicly.)

While she's never actively wanted to get into trouble or get involved in certain issues, she's never been able to back away when something is going down. She's always been quick to shutdown bullying/harassment. (Which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Griffin, while proud of her daughter, is not thrilled that she puts herself into potential danger.)

Like her father before, Valkyrie really got into sword fighting. She was one of the few girls in the Junior Sword Fighting League (typically kids between ages 5-13). She loves sword fighting. Loves it. Even to this day she still practices her swordsmanship.

Valkyrie figured her sexuality out fairly quickly, at around 11. Most of the girls in her class were getting crushes on the boys and she was looking at them instead. (Or their older sisters...)

She used to have long hair, but decided to cut it when she was about 10. Shorter hair is better for sparring and her magic had her running hot.

When she was about 12, she obtained a major scar on her shoulder from sparring unsupervised with her friend Kota. An illusion went wrong on Kota's part and Valkyrie freaked out, which caused Crystal's shielding (she was supposed to keep their magic from spreading outside of their 'sparring ring') to cut them both on their shoulders. Yes, they do call themselves "scar buddies" based on that.

She has a fondness for history, particularly Dark Magic History.

She's also big into Astrology, much like her mother. (They love stargazing together.)

While she can play chess, it's more her mother's thing. She's not the biggest fan, but she does enjoy playing with her mother.

Ever since she was little, she and Griffin had kitchen wars. They've yet to get through baking any treats without flour and sprinkles and dough scattered everywhere.

They also love snowball fights when the Rancorian Winters hit. (As do the rest of the family.)

Competitive. That's all you need to know when it comes to games. (Video, board, live action. Doesn't matter. If it's a game, she wants to win.)

She was about 9 when she found Cheshire. Those two have been bonded ever since. Even Griffin admits he's a big help to her.

This is also the time her eyes started getting bad. (The Sylvane curse as Uncle Salvador put it.)

Valkyrie doesn't like being told she can't do something. That it's impossible for her to do it. (She can and she will. Watch her.)

When her magic first came in, she did burn one of the other kids in her class. It was mostly an accident, but it still wasn't pretty. And she almost got expelled.

(She's also almost gotten expelled over little pranks she's pulled over the years. One of which almost burned down the middle school.)

Crystal:

Valkyrie met Crystal their first day of elementary school. Crystal and her family were still new to the realm after moving from Isis and she was getting harassed by some of the older kids who thought they were being 'cool' for picking on the new girl.

So, Valkyrie promptly threw stones and the rest is history. (They became quick friends after Crystal realized Valkyrie wasn't throwing the rocks at her, but at the older kids.)

Crystal is more the voice of reason behind some of Valkyrie's schemes, having realized early on that the smaller witch was prone to getting into trouble.

Not that she doesn't cook up a few plans of her own... She has triplet younger brothers, she's got some great prank ideas.

But really, they just sort bonded and grew close after their initial meeting. And even closer when Valkyrie's magic really came in and they talked about her being the keeper of the Dark Dragon Fire. (Which was mindblowing for Crystal. Her best friend had primordial magic. That's wicked cool.)

(Until it isn't and she quickly realized that it can be a hassle. But it is what it is.)

Helia:

Valkyrie's first friend outside of the family. They were essentially pushed together due to Griffin and Saladin's friendship. (Saladin often helped his sister, Helia's mother, with her son, so he'd take Helia places with him.)

It was always him, Morgan, and Valkyrie. At least, before Crystal and Kota joined in.

He quickly became the shy older brother to Valkyrie, trying not to let her talk him and Morgan into things, while also going along with it because someone had to be responsible.

Helia's actually the first person Valkyrie came out to, though it was partially to help get him to stop focusing on his parents' divorce. (He needed a distraction, so she distracted him.)

Which is funny, because it brought them closer together, prompting the others in their group to wonder if they were 'together'. (Which hurt Morgan who always had a crush on Helia.)

(That was fun to explain. But they managed.)

Helia is the reason Valkyrie got into the Junior Sword Fighting League. His uncle had enrolled him and when he talked about it with Valkyrie, she got interested herself. (She was far better suited for it, he didn't like sword fighting, but he enjoyed being part of the team and getting to cheer her on.)

Helia's also part of the reason Valkyrie has the fear of serpents/snakes that she has.

The adults (his uncle Saladin, Morgan's dads, Griffin, Kota's parents, Crystal's parents, and Faragonda) decided to take the kids camping in the Wildlands when they were about 12ish.

While the adults were busy talking/setting up camp, Valkyrie had the idea to go and explore. Kota and Morgan agreed. Crystal and Helia hesitated, but decided to go. After all, there were plenty of hiking trails and the adults had signed off on them sticking to the trails and siteseeing.

Things took a turn when Helia was talked into trying out his magic. (His mom is a witch and his uncle is a powerful wizard, surely he had some magic inside of him.)

Which, he does have magic, just a strong connection to it. Best he can do is a few location spells and some note-sending. (Also spells regarding his art. Like keeping his sketchbooks in proper care, his brushes never bending, that sort of thing.)

His magic ended up sending the kids into a Basilisks Den.

Needless to say, things didn't go well. The basilisks tried to eat the kids, the kids were struggling to protect themselves, and things got messy after one wrapped itself around Valkyrie and had her paralyzed with fear. (NOTE: in my Winx world, basilisks are snake like creatures that, if you lock eyes with them, they will look into your soul and pull out your worst nightmare, paralyzing you so they can eat you.)

Morgan managed to get her Winx form in order to protect her cousin, and she and Helia combined magic to summon help from the adults.

(Who did save them pretty quickly after. And then gave a good lecture on why you shouldn't stray from the trails...)

Kota:

Kota is a bully turned friend.

When the girls were in elementary school, about their third or fourth year, (4th grade if your American), Kota and his family arrived into Rancor.

He tried to be the bully to avoid being picked on, and ended up trying to turn his 'bullying' onto Crystal.

It didn't end well and he and Valkyrie ended up at each other's throats.

After a few of these 'altercation and detention' periods, they got to talking and found they actually had things in common. Which led to Kota being brought into the friend group.

(He's still quite the instigator though, and tends to hype up the bad ideas Valkyrie has.)

(They also tend to hype each other up into doing stupid/I'll show you styled challenges and dares. Crystal, Morgan, and Helia stay exasperated at them.)

Kota is also one of Valkyrie's best sparring partners for sword fighting. They were even on the same Junior Sword Fighting League team. He joined a little after they finally became friends at her insistence. (He's thankful now, imagine how behind he'd been at RF without that training.)

Relationships:

Outside of Flora, Valkyrie's had little dating history. Not that she didn't want to date or have relationships, it's just she was always involved in something. (Usually school-related. I may talk about her being a bit of a trouble-maker, but she was also one of the top students. She couldn't handle not being at the top.)

There was her first crush on Crystal. Though that quickly fizzled out. (Friendship first. Always.)

Then there was the girl she ended up outing herself over: Mary. Didn't end well because Mary wasn't exactly a nice girl and practically broadcast the whole situation to the school... But she did think Mary was beautiful.

During her time doing tournaments with the Sword Fighting League; she had flirted with and asked out a few of the sisters of the other competitors. Just a few dates from them, never anything too serious. But it was cute. (Griffin had to refrain from talking about how much like him she was being.)

Anya was her first big relationship, though it ended before she left for CT due to finding out Anya had been cheating. Not a fun time.

She briefly dated another CT witch, Hecate. (But it wasn't a good relationship. Even she'd admit this: she was sort of using Hecate to keep from thinking of Flora, who she thought was a bit too-good for her and her family's history.)

Chimera, Stella's almost step-sister, had a sort of crush on Valkyrie, though it could have been considered an obsession. It all started with Valkyrie trying to protect Chimera and Cassandra from Valtor (or she thought she was protecting them from him) and Chimera just adored the attention. (Valkyrie was just trying to be nice.)

There are probably a few fairies or witches who had their crushes, though Valkyrie didn't notice much due to having her attention either on Flora or trying to protect the Magical Dimension.

The only specialist with a crush on Valkyrie that I can really think of is Harlan. And that could also be considered obsession because she has told him repeatedly (and nicely) that she is a lesbian and only wants to be friends.

(He sort of fixated on her after an incident when they were kids. His dad owns one of the stores in Magix and she was with her mom doing some school supply shopping. He was having issues with a creature that had broken out of one of the books and Valkyrie was quick to try and keep him safe. Yeah...)

There were also a few guys during their Earth stint, but again, she wasn't noticing.

(Though she does notice when others have their eyes on Flora, and she makes a big point to let them know who the fairy is with. Usually either by a big PDA scene, or by a small, subtle burn starting on their skin.)

That's Valkyrie! Hope this answers your questions.

(Sorry it took so long. I just wanted to get my stuff together to answer this properly.)
