Brynhild (Berserker)

Having decided to visit the midsummer lake shore...she forcibly changed her Spirit Origin on her own using her Primeval Runes! Her usual, more volatile Spirit Origin is gone and now she's a mild-mannered woman given to loving shows of PDA with the great hero Sigurd...

But one night, a scream is heard. Sigurd is found lying in a pool of blood, Brynhild at his side, absolutely covered in blood herself! What the heck happened...!?

Sigurd stubbornly denies even the existence of a culprit (he will keep getting up as many times as it takes). Brynhild only acts flustered. And in her hand is a new Noble Phantasm, soaked in blood. What the HECK happened...!?

Height/Weight: 172cm, 52kg

Origin: Norse Mythology

Region: Europe

Alignment: Neutral-Good

Sub-Attribute: Heaven

Gender: Female

If asked whether she's happy, she's sure to answer that she is.

Pretty much the same as the normal Brynhild (Lancer), and she acts gentle and devoted. However, unlike her normal self, her feelings for her loving Sigurd are entirely out in the open. She intends to celebrate their love without hesitation, and plans to enjoy a midsummer vacation near the lake. Surprisingly, she will never utter menacing threats like "I will kill you" or "I shall kill you." It's as if this Spirit Origin of hers unwittingly seals her impulse to kill her loved one (Sigurd).

And yet...

Madness Enhancement: D-

While her Spirit Origin has changed to a Berserker, the rank of the Madness Enhancement skill she was assigned to is low. It's possible to communicate verbally with her.

Swan Dress (Summer): A+

A white bikini. Incorrect. It's a swan dress, the robe of the warrior maidens who conquer the skies transformed to be more suitable to wear by the shores of the midsummer lake. It also confers flight upon the wearer.

Wisdom of Summer: B

A crystallization of the wisdom of the gods who know almost everything about summer. A pair of glasses created with Sigurd.

『Brynhild Sigurtein』

Rank: B

NP Type: Anti-Personnel/Anti-Army

Range: 1 - 50

Maximum Targets: 1 or 50

At Least until the Moment of Death.

After the Heroic Spirit Brynhild temporarily summons a giant, transparent blue sword, the Heroic Spirit Sigurd swings it down to vanquish the enemy. It's a momentary combined attack/combined Noble Phantasm.

Brynhild summons the giant weapon that she alone cannot wield and Sigurd swings the giant weapon that he alone cannot summon. The weapon itself is the sacred sword the allfather Odin bestowed upon the god of war, Týr, and Brynhild personally copied it using her Primordial Rune. While it may be an imitation, it still possesses the strength befitting an armament of the gods.

Summertime Lovers: EX

"I shall kill those who I love...my Sigurd."

Even if her predetermined fate assigned to her Heroic Spirit is unchanged, Brynhild in the summer can behave with and retain a certain innocence, enjoying time spent frolicking and flirting with her Sigurd during the day...until the impending tragedy of nightfall. It's a specialized skill that employs the power of the Primordial Rune.

So here's what happened:

Because her Spirit Origin was forcefully changed numerous times using her Primordial Runes, Brynhild may have been able to happily spend time with her love during the day, but at night her murderous instincts swelled exponentially beyond what her normal Spirit Origin usually harbored, and Brynhild killed her beloved Sigurd. And Sigurd readily accepted his nightly fate.

Originally this Spirit Origin transformation was suggested by Sigurd, who wanted to grant Brynhild's wish to spend just a few days without being engulfed with the desire to kill. But ultimately, Sigurd coming in contact with her caused her desire to kill (love) to swell so much that there was concern she might berserk at one point. And while Master and Sigurd were able to calm her before she went berserk, the two lovers found that they were destined to never be together. This Spirit Origin was designed to last for one fleeting summer moment.

"You are lovely in this Spirit Origin, but it's the normal you I love."

...is what Sigurd supposedly said to her at the end of summer.

The words of her beloved made Brynhild smile.

And while she smiled, she wept.
