— Skalmöld to Soji Okita in Black Kite's Heavenly Return
|
Skalmöld is the sixth of the 13 Valkyrie sisters. She performed Völundr with Soji Okita during the tenth round of Ragnarok.
Appearance[]
Skalmöld is a young woman with long purple hair braided down her back with a dark bluish green ribbon hair tie with a golden crisscross pattern and has brown eyes. Much like Randgriz, she has two shoulder-length bangs and a slightly longer bang that is parted on either side, and the left side of her bangs is tied into a short braid that is only covered by her slightly longer bangs.
She wore a white-dark blue qipao with gold stripes and short sleeves that exposed her chest, dark blue leggings with gold armbands below the knees of her encrypted legs, and flat shoes dark blue. Behind her back was a blue ribbon that tied her qipao dress, which hung long with feathers hanging from the ribbon. On her left hand was a gold bracelet, while on her condition hand she wore a long dark blue fingerless glove with gold stripes but connected to her middle finger with a ring.
Personality[]
Perhaps due to her ability, Skalmöld is fond of swordsmen and swordsmanship. She has described herself as the "Valkyrie closest to the 'swordsman's soul'".
She appears to be a selfless and kind Valkyrie who is willing to fight to help realize the dreams of swordsmen reaching the peak of their potential which makes her a good match for Soji Okita.
During the tenth round, she silently fought by Soji Okita's side and when he apologized to her for making her put up with his selfishness, she assured him that his selfishness is what she lived for, encouraging him to keep swinging his blade.[1] Skalmöld also seems to genuinely care about his partner, as seen at the end of round ten after she came out of her stupor, she became concerned and checked on the unconscious Soji Okita in Kondo Isami's arms.
Plot[]
Gods' Council[]

Skalmöld and the other Valkyries answer Brunhilde's call for Ragnarok
Somewhere between the Gods' Council and the start of Ragnarok, Skalmöld and the other 10 Valkyries met with Brunhilde and Göll to help them fight against the Gods.
Tenth Round[]

The name of Skalmöld's abilty is called Age of Sword
Some time before the tenth round began, Skalmöld underwent Völundr with Soji Okita, becoming his katana. For a majority of match, Skalmöld remained quiet as she let Soji fight Susano'o no Mikoto as he pleased.
After getting quite injured by Ama no Magaeshi: Gathering Clouds, Soji finally became one with his Demon Child and activated Demon Child Release, resolving to give it everything he had, even if it meant dying afterwards. Soji apologized to Skalmöld for making her indulge in his selfishness but she assured him that this was what she lived for. She encouraged Soji to continue swinging his blade and used her ability to strengthen Soji's body to help him draw out everything he had.
After the Tenth round ended in Soji's victory which resulted in said victor on the verge of death, leaving Skalmöld seemingly unconcious. Not willing to let Soji to die to Honor Susano'o no Mikoto, Izanagi healed Soji to the point where his life is not in danger, undoing the Völundr in the process.
Abilities[]
Semi-Immortality: As a demigod, Skalmöld has a limitless lifespan and does not age.
Divine Physiology: As a demigod, Skalmöld possesses physical abilities far greater than any ordinary Human. Her body can not be harmed by mortal weapons, however, she still can be harmed by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons.
Common Destiny: The power of "Common Destiny" allows a person to bring out their full potential by entrusting their fate to another. Before Ragnarok, Brunhilde sought Buddha in order to learn more about this power. The Valkyries give their wielders the power to harm Gods by entrusting them with their lives.
- Völundr: The ability to turn into any weapon based on her partner's preference. Skalmöld's Völundr has a unique property reflected in the translation of her name, which means "Sword Time" (剣の刻, Ken no Toki)[2]. This allowed her to forcibly draw out all of Soji's ability with the sword (from his past, his present and even his hypothetical future) and condense it into one to give Soji the ultimate body for swordsmanship, which allowed Soji to bear his full power[3].
