Name: Olesya Ilyinichna Rostovtsev, “Valkyrie”
Age (Magical Girl): 14
Age (Before Magical Girl): 14
Gender: Girl
Gender (Before Magical Girl): Girl
Appearance: Flowing, Average.
Specialization: Lightning - Valkyrie is able to utilize the specialization of “Lightning”. In addition to shooting lightning as a projectile from either her hand or her weapon as an electric rod, she is able to internalize the effect within herself, firing it out at controlled bursts from her body to improve her overall speed and perception to be similar to the lightning itself.
Weapon: Baikal: A three-pronged long spear that Valkyrie is able to cast her lightning through. When in use, the blade moves as fast as light itself.
Power: Focused Assault: Olesya commits herself to a piercing shot. The skill has two uses, a ranged version used directly through her magicks, and a melee version, used through the weapon. The ranged attack deals an incredible multiple strikes of lightning in the same location, originating from Valkyrie, and the melee version directly injects the target with an incredible blast of electricity, often frying them from the inside.
Perks:
Gifted: Olesya was born with an unnaturally high affinity for lightning. According to Yury, he expected it to take much longer for her to understand how the abilities work, and he tends to be surprised at the unique usages he never really considered for the ability. She is able to completely edit the charge, amperage, wattage down to the most minute detail. In addition to this, electric not produced by her own ability is easily manipulated by her as well.
Enhanced Weapon: The Baikal is a weapon blessed by the gods themselves. While Yury claims it to give a person the ability to overcome any challenge, Valkyrie pins it more to her skills than the weapon itself.
Training: Yury had taken years to train Valkyrie to be the greatest spearman in the world, at least in his eyes. By extension of this skill, she has a rather solid grasp of human anatomy, as do most who had trained their life with the sword.
Get out of Jail: When cornered, Olesya is able to escape captivity to a place that is safe.
Wings: A pair of bird-like wings are fixed to the back of the magical girl outfit, making Valkyrie seem almost angelic.
Patron: Yury
Patron Benefits: Focused- Yury is a spirit that was bound to a lake before meeting Olesya, but his knowledge of the element “Lightning” is both a boon to Olesya’s ability to control both the passive and active forms of the ability to extreme proficiency under his watchful gaze.
Subtle- though technically “flashy” in the sense it “produces a flash”, magic used by Odesya is less detectable.
Mental Link- A bond shared between a “Host” and “Parasite”. Complex nuances can be conveyed between one another almost instantaneously, including information about an opponent, observations one makes, and when eggs are going on sale at the supermarket.
Mana Font- Being constantly near Olesya gives her the ability to utilize the magic of Yury directly.
Patron Drawbacks: Limited-
Alien Mind: Just as the culture which pervaded itself as a spirit is unintelligible to a human, humanity’s culture is incomprehensible to it. Certain feelings are impossible to comprehend properly both ways between Olesya and Yury, though at the very least Olesya would imagine the two are relatively close from her perspective. The truth of this is to be seen.
Big Brother: Standardly seen within the confines of the locket upon Olesya’s neck, and demands to be brought with her anywhere she goes. Punishment tends to be severe in the event this rule is broken. Often comments on any situation Olesya finds herself within.
Formless: A bit of a misdemeanor. While technically without form, similar to a ghost or spirit, Yury usually can possess inanimate objects; contains itself within a pendent around Olesya's neck. When the weapon is summoned, he is also able to possess such as well. It is unable to move things it possesses, but others are able to carry them around as they please.
Fighting Style: Utilizing her Focused Assault, Odesya is able to wither down an opponent while going for short, concise attacks aimed at vitals in order to eventually defeat someone. She would prefer if the first attack were to completely debilitate an opponent, though she is also skillful at more personal combat, being able to use both her speed brought upon by her specialization and her precision to attack both precisely and quickly, each attack aimed to end the fight.

Personality: Olesya seems to take herself somewhat seriously, often taken as somewhat standoffish to others. Though in standard conversation she tends to come off as rather well-mannered, well-spoken and intelligent, her statements tend towards sardonic, which coupled with her lack of any real emotive projection in both her voice and facial features, leaves others to often misinterpret these statements to hold some sort of truth rather than simple jokes or mockeries. Though she appears prideful, it isn’t really directed at anyone.
There doesn’t really exist a divide between the personalities of Olesya and the being known as “Valkyrie”. Perhaps Valkyrie is better suited as less of an “alternate identity” and merely an extension of the previous personality.
Olesya describes herself as a coward, not afraid to retreat if the situation calls for it, in order to preserve herself. He who fights and runs away are able to live and fight another day, after all. But despite this, she tends to contradict this aspect often enough for it to be somewhat bunk in the long run of things. Perhaps it could be best described as a desire to avoid a direct sort of combat, though even she understands there are certain fights one must never run away from. Though she would rather not see the mundane innocents involved in the affairs of the mystical, it isn’t as if those people truly matter to her.
History: War is hell. A war that pits together once countrymen, once townsmen, once family separated by lines that were only broken at the stem for a cause neither side fully understands. Torn from their homes, even children, hardly able to form opinions themselves, are branded by traitors by the victorious. The difference between a traitor and a hero is simply which side if the victor.
The retreating White Army upon the Great Siberian Ice March was forced to cross the frozen lake Baikal as they flee the pursuing soviet army upon the Trans-Siberian Railway. Olesya was the daughter and heiress of a Count loyal to the Romanovs after her father had fought as a commander for the Whites and had died when a stray bullet had killed him, but the overwhelming power of the Petrograd Soviets and the lack of realistic support from the international community due to the events of the first world war seemed to spell an end for the tradition and pride the great Russian Empire had. After hearing what the Soviets had done to the entirety of the Royal family, surrender was not an option. It was either crossing out of the country by any means possible, or death.
The crossing of the lake, even for a man in full army winter gear, would be arduous, the frozen lake reaching temperatures below zero, iced over half the year. But it was either make the trek from the lake into Manchukuo and seek refuge and political asylum from the Reds. Many froze to death, and many were left behind, unable to continue on and succumbing to the artic winters of the Eurasian steppes.
Unable to continue forward, the young now-Countess Olesya had collapsed on the ice of the lake. The cold was too much for her young body to handle. She should have died to the cold here, but for but a moment, she thought she saw something next to a jutting rock atop the frozen lake. A shimmer of something caught her eye, it’s light, unlike anything she had ever seen before. But for whatever reason, this light gave the young Olesya but a sliver of strength to carry on. She believed it to be her father, calling her to the gates of heaven, but that is when she saw what was shining like the ether: a strange spear lodged in the ice at the base of the rise. Though something told Olesya that the spear was dangerous, her condition was hardly that of rationality, and with the first idea that came to her mind, she had taken the weapon from its icy hold.
At first, nothing happened. Of course, nothing happened. It was just a spear. Weapons couldn’t hold any power. They were simply weapons of war. But the shining spear at least made what appeared to be the final moments of her short life.
… But that didn't happen.
Instead, a warmth surrounded her. And before her, a being claiming to be a “God or something” asked if she wished to be his champion, or die in the tundra. With a new chance at life discovered, she had accepted his offer.
Incantation: Who to us with a sword will come - that from a sword will perish!
Additional Info: Olesya tends to enjoy more romantic pieces, her favorite ballet being Swan Lake, as she remembers being captivated by the ballet she had seen with her father all those years ago.

Type: Lesser Force
Name: Yury
Personality: Yury is best described by Olesya as an “high-functioning dumbass”. Not really understanding how humanity interacts with one another, lessons about love and valor tend not to come from him. But what he does understand is magic, and it’s applications to the world. However, that doesn’t mean that Yury hasn’t been trying to get adjusted to the current state of culture, such as “not pillaging and raping the cities of your rivals”, but it took several years after reawakening to discover this fact.
Yury claims to be somewhat doting and seems to enjoy the company of Olesya, even though the two tend to bicker between one another.
History: A nameless spirit that Olesya found within the great Lake Baikal during her trot through it with the remnants of the White Army during their retreat from the Reds inside of a Spear upon a jutting rock. Though Yury claims to not remember much about what he was doing there, trapped inside of the spear waiting for an individual to interact with the spear, it isn’t as if he seems like a bad guy. He claims that the last time he was awake in the world, there was a great warlord in the lands south of the lake. The two have been a pair for nearly 100 years, often bickering with one another, though Olesya claims it mostly to be a “friendly banter” rather than anything serious. It is also noted that Yury was named by Olesya, as he knew not the concept of a name, which was the name of her father; the pendant which Yury inhabits happens also to be a pendant with a picture of Olesya’s father as well.
Resources: There isn’t a lot that Yury could really offer Olesya, aside from his magical power and knowledge, as he is a spirit. Most of the money came from the liquidizing of Olesya’s assets, and the two, which in reality is just Olesya seeing as Yury is a spirit.
Additional Info: Yury seems to dislike the cold; ironic considering he was found on the surface of a frozen lake.
