History Characters / ValXLove

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The captain of the Valkyries for a reason. Even at level 1, she shows greater strenght than most of her higher-leveled sisters.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Write this down!"

* ArcherArchetype: He fights with a bow and arrow, and in his group he is the one most focused in achieving their goal quickly.

* {{Bokukko}}: Uses "Boku" to refer to herself, which makes sense considering her tomboyish personality.

* SenpaiKohai: The senpai to Sif's kohai. Not a very friendly relationship, thanks to him just doing whatever he wants and frequently running away from work, much to Sif's anger.

* SenpaiKohai: She is Gullinkambi's kohai, albeit not a very respectful one, as she shares the same opinion as the Valkyries about his antics.

* BladeOnAStick: The name of her Holy Sword is very self-explanatory. She is The Spear.

* BareYourMidriff: Her outfit shows pretty much everything below the chest and above the hips.

* {{Stripperific}}: Her outfit is very revealing, [[BareYourMidriff showing her midriff]], her shoulders, and a bit of cleavage.

* LoveYouAndEverybody: [[spoiler:After a particularly embarrassing Val Love session with the triplets in chapter 33, Takuma blurts out that he loves them. "Them" being all nine sisters. Itsuyo, Mutsumi and Natsuki are simultaneously flustered by his bluntness, happy to hear that he likes them, and sad that he is basically confessing he still hasn't choosen one of them]]

* HornyDevils: While she is technically not a devil, but an "Evil God", she otherwise fits this trope to a T, being a nymphomaniac villain that talks about sex just as often as she is shown planning to cause destruction.

* RescueRomance: The details aren't given to the reader, but Takuma saved her when they first met and she is clearly in love with him.

* BeautyIsBad: People who meet her for the first time often get entranced by how beautiful she is. Yet, she is the BigBad of the series and the root of a lot of chaos and death.

* {{Foil}}: Her position parallels Takuma's, and she pretty much shows how the relationship he has with the Valkyries could go to a bad direction. Takuma and the Saotome sisters mutually support each other and work together to get stronger. Röskva is completely subservient to Skuld and blindly follows everything she says, even when it's a bad idea. More distressingly, while Takuma wants to ''live'' with the Saotome sisters, Röskva is ready to ''die'' for Skuld.

* IllGirl: It's implied the reason she doesn't leave the storehouse is because she has some illness. [[spoiler:Turns out that her Seidr has given her a really weak constitution, which is why she remains secluded with her sisters taking care of her. Except that is just an excuse so Takuma won't worry. The actual reason is that she is affected by The Malady, a disease that has been spreading in Asgard and hurts the very soul.]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: The guy who acts like he belongs to the circus? [[spoiler:A marquis and vice-captain of Odin's Chivalric Order of the Autumn Leaves.]]

* BadBoss: If getting aroused by the deaths of people on her own side just as much as by the deaths of enemies wasn't bad enough, she keeps misremembering Röskva's name after being told she [[spoiler:is about to die]], and the only thing she seems to remember about her is that she was weak.

The king of Valhalla in Asgard. He is the father of the Saotome sisters and the one who sent them to Takuma. His ability is called The Law.

* UnseenNoMore: He spends the initial arcs of the series as TheGhost. He only ever makes physical appearances in flashbacks, and they never show more than a glimpse of his figure. This changes starting with Chapter 35, when he finally shows up [[spoiler:… in a cartoonish body that has no resemblance to what was previously seen in flashbacks.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Terrible as her actions and those of her companions may be, including killing humans to to harness Aether, she does believe that Asgard can only be saved if the Evil Gods win the war.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She and Mutsumi were told to form unit precisely to invoke this trope, pairing up an active, sporty girl with a pure, laid-back beauty.
* SkinshipGrope: She shows herself to be very interested in Mutsumi's rack, groping her (with her permission) not long after they are presented to each other.

* IllGirl: It's implied the reason she doesn't leave the storehouse is because she has some illness. [[spoiler:Turns out that her Seidr has given her a really weak constitution, which is why she remains secluded with her sisters taking care of her.]]

* AwesomeButImpractical: Apparently her Holy Sword can make "a huge bang" if charged for 3 hours. It's likely because her level is still too low though.

* TokenWholesome: Being TheBabyOfTheBunch and a TokenMiniMoe, she is the only one of the Saotome sisters to avoid being the target of MaleGaze. In fact, chapter 16 has all the Valkyries currently living with Takuma taking turns in playing doctor with him, and Kururi is the only one to not give any {{Fanservice}} during her turn.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: While the circumstances behind her joining the Evil Gods faction aren't clear, she does believe their actions – which includes slaughtering humans to harness Aether – will save Asgard in the future.

[[folder:Garm]]
!!Tohru Inukai/Garm
[[quoteright:273:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chara_manga_garm_6.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeHirakawa

The secretary of the student council in Takuma's school, he is the human host of "The Fang", Garm.

* AxCrazy: Wants nothing more than being able to humiliate, hurt, and ultimately devour Takuma and the Valkyries.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Pretends to be the kind and polite secretary of the student council in front of other people, when in reality he looks down on all of humanity, hates every minute of his undercover mission, and spends most of his scenes early on planning the painful slaughter of the Saotome sisters.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: When he shows his true nature, his sclera becomes black.
* ButtMonkey: [[spoiler:After being defeated by the Valkyries he is reduced to a complaining voice for his side, and spends most of his scenes afterwards getting abused by his teammates.]]
* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:Had no idea that the Valkyries had given Takuma the Mystletainn or that Takuma had a inherent ability to use healing magic. The result is that Takuma survived being slashed into two pieces by Garm, who is left flabbergasted.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He only sees the Valkyries as food, and thus doesn't understand why Takuma doesn't do the same and "eats" the Valkyries served in front of him.
* HateSink: Lacking any type of sympathetic traits, he exists mostly so the audience can feel good about the main cast beating an intelligent character instead of random monsters for a change.
* {{Jerkass}}: He is violent, condescending bastard who thinks the human world is his playground and the Valkyries are his meal.
* MeaningfulName: "Inu" means "dog" in Japanese. Garm is a monstrous dog in Norse mythology.
* ScaryTeeth: And unlike Takuma's, his really are a sign of danger.
* SlasherSmile: All the time after he reveals his true colors.
* StrawMisogynist: Frequently objectifies the Saotome sisters in his inner monologues, basically seeing them as walking meat to be eaten (metaphorically) by Takuma and if not, be devoured (literally) by himself. He also thinks Takuma is a sad excuse of man because he isn't in a sexually active relationship with the girls in spite of having the opportunity.
* ToServeMan: In Norse mythology, Garm is a blood-stained wolf/dog. That alone shoud be enough for one to realize what exactly Inukai means when he says he wants to "eat" the Valkyries.
* VillainousGlutton: Pretty much 90% of his dialogue is about eating something and is regularly seen eating a large amount of fast food.
* WakeUpCallBoss: He is the first enemy the main characters had to face that wasn't a mindless monster and thus could actually come up with a plan to defeat them. His trap at the school festival was the first time multiple Valkyries were in danger and Takuma almost died.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Being a pure-blooded divinity, he can't use his full powers on Earth like the Valkyries do. Garm may be level 65, but Tohru Inukai is merely level 1.
--> '''Futaba''': The doggy we fought at the school festival would've been a lot more powerful if we were in Asgard.

[[folder:Ur]]
!!Ur
[[quoteright:231:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1imagem2.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MisatoFukuen

A mysterious boy who is involved with the Evil Gods from Asgard. The people around town, unaware of his true identity, call him Taka-chan.

* ArcherArchetype: He fights with a bow and arrow, and in his group he is the one most focused in achieving their goal quickly.
* DeliberatelyCuteChild: When he is around humans, he is an innocent little kid. When he is around Asgardians, he is anything but.
* HypnoTrinket: The arrows he shoots allow him to mind control those hit by them.
* IWarnedYou: He warned Skuld to not underestimate the Valkyries, and she promptly ignored it. But when she got herself in trouble he was too far away to talk with her, so a small circle with his face shows up in the corner of the frame to say the famous line, at least for the reader.
--> "I told you already, you know"
* LittleBitBeastly: He has dog ears in his true form.
* OnlySaneMan: Among the members of the Evil God faction currently on Earth, he is the only one that doesn't underestimate the Valkyries. He is very annoyed by how Garm takes his sweet time playing with them and how Skuld ignores his warnings that the Holy Swords are strong.

[[folder:Skuld]]
!!Skuld
[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chara_manga_skuld.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AtsumiTanezaki

A half-god half-human girl working for the Evil Gods. She is the The Third Norn, and her ability is called The Egg.

* BareYourMidriff: Her outfit shows pretty much everything below the chest and above the hips.
* BerserkButton: By her own words, a noble never responds to cheap provocation… but no insult directed at Röskva will be forgiven!
* BullyingADragon: When she first meets [[TheAce Ichika]], she spends most of the conversation threatening her sisters and the entire human world, and refuses her offer to let this meeting end peacefully. 10 seconds later, she is having to seriously reconsider her strategy. Ur is not amused or surprised.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Write this down!"
* DarkActionGirl: She is effectively the antithesis of the heroines. An Asgardian warrior that is strong, beautiful, and willing to kill as many humans as needed.
* ElegantGothicLolita: The clothes she gets in her battle form evoke this trope.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She may be working for the Evil Gods, but her love for Röskva is just as genuine as Takuma's love for the Saotome sisters.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler:In spite of how prideful she is, when she is too exhausted to fight and Röskva is in danger, she starts running as fast as she can.]]
* MotherOfAThousandYoung: She is a special Norn known as a "Demon Mother". While Norns usually can only summon one demon a day in Midgard, she can summon as many as her AP allows. She can currently summon up to 21, which come from summoning stones shaped like eggs (thus the name of the ability).
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:When she fuses with Röskva and her remaining demons, she becomes an humanoid monster whose hair is made of eyes and mouths of demons. In this state she absorbs the soul of dozens of humans in an instant and an attack launched when she pronounces a single word destroys all the barriers in the city while also wounding three of the strongest Valkyries.]]
* SmugSuper: Double Subverted. She is introduced as an arrogant and powerful new foe the Valkyries will have to watch out for, but is humiliated by Ichika in her first on-screen battle. Then she starts taking her enemies seriously, and the Valkyries find themselves in their hardest battle yet.
* {{Stripperific}}: Her outfit is very revealing, [[BareYourMidriff showing her midriff]], her shoulders, and a bit of cleavage.
* SuperpowerLottery: She is a Seidr user, explaining why she has a special power other Norns don't have.
* SweetTooth: Ur mentions that she likes sweets in her debut chapter. And indeed she quickly takes a liking to the sweets of Midgard/Earth.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: In spite of Ur's repeated warnings, she refuses to even consider that the Valkyries can be as strong as she is. To nobody's surprise but her own, her first battle with the Valkyries doesn't end in a total defeat only because Ur helped her from afar.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: While the circumstances behind her joining the Evil Gods faction aren't clear, she does believe their actions – which includes slaughtering humans to harness Aether – will save Asgard in the future.

[[folder:Röskva]]
!!Röskva
[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_roskva.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaoIchimichi

A maid who serves Skuld. She is a Snorri, and can help her master unleash her full powers the same way Takuma does with the Valkyries.

* DissonantSerenity: Her NervesOfSteel get more and more disturbing with each passing chapter. Her master is cornering the Valkyries, putting humans lives at risk, [[spoiler:and may even have to sacrifice her to win.]] Röskva never even blinks at any of this.
* ExtremeDoormat: Her entire existence is for her master, and she won't even move unless ordered to by her.
* {{Foil}}: Her position parallels Takuma's, and she pretty much shows how the relationship he has with the Valkyries could go to a bad direction. Takuma and the Saotome sisters mutually support each other and work together to get stronger. Röskva is completely subservient to Skuld and blindly follows everything she says, even when it's a bad idea. More distressingly, while Takuma wants to ''live'' with the Saotome sisters, Röskva is ready to ''die'' for Skuld.
* LittleBitBeastly: When she enters her battle form she gets bunny ears and her feet become beast-like.
* NervesOfSteel: She is always calm and composed no matter the situation. Ichika has taken her hostage? She doesn't even blink. Her master just summoned an army of demons in a populated city? Just another day of work. [[spoiler:She is about to sacrifice herself to ensure the victory of her master? If you though her stoic face would falter just because of that, you don't know her.]]
* OurMonstersAreWeird: [[spoiler:None of the demons the Valkyries faced before were pretty, but when Röskva becomes the fused demon Pillar of Flesh, her appearance defies classification. Her torso becomes covered by a black mass full of eyes, her arms become what can only be call an oversized sleeve made of her own flesh, and instead of legs she gets an amorphous mass made of noses, mouths, and a ridiculous amount of breasts.]]
* ThePenIsMightier: It seems her pen is a weapon, considering the way she held it when challenging Ichika. But because she was challenging [[TheAce Ichika]], she never gets to use it.
* UndyingLoyalty: Her loyalty and love for Skuld come before anything else. If her death will help Skuld, she will let herself die without even blinking.

* LoveYouAndEverybody: [[spoiler:After a particularly embarrassing Val Love session with the triplets in chapter 33, Takuma blurts out that he loves all nine sisters. Itsuyo, Mutsumi and Natsuki are simultaneously flustered by his bluntness, happy to hear that he likes them, and sad that he is basically confessing to not see any of them in a romantic light.]]

The king of Valhalla in Asgard. He is the father of the Saotome sisters and the one who sent them to Takuma.

* TheGhost: He is never fully seen. All we get are a few glimpses of his figure in flashbacks of his daughters.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can transform into a bird.

* WineIsClassy: UpToEleven and PlayedForLaughs. He keeps his glass of wine even in bird form, or worse, when he is being held upside down.
