Valkyrie

=== Valkyrie are a sub-species of angel that became more prominent after the apocalypse which have largely replaced the original roles of angels in the Orchard universe. Due to their appearance after the merge of the universes, it's considered they are the first Orchard-native species. ===

History
Valkyries were first mentioned during the introduction of Fjaer in ''The World Tree. ''It's assumed they have been present since.

Myth
Valkyrie in original Norse myth were residents of Valhalla which escorted warriors killed in battle to Valhalla from the battlefield, refilled fallen warrior's mugs of ale and helped the evening feasts. There was said to only be 13. Valkyrie in the Orchard are not this original species of angel, rather a separate breed of angel which seems to have a different power set to that specified in ''Supernatural. ''They seem to have taken the name of the original Valkyrie and seem to escort souls to Heaven, as the entryway was destroyed after the events of Ragnarok. It's unclear whether they came into existence because of this new opportunity or whether they simply took up the duty.

Valkyries do not reproduce and are instead recreated through a selection method. The "strongest warrior on the battlefield" during a prolific war or fight is not escorted to Heaven and instead has their soul and body healed, which in some cases when the subject's previous life is deemed either potentially dangerous or decapitating to the Valkyrie results in a complete loss of any and all memory.

Abilities
Valkyrie have large, visible wings which enable them to fly. The pattern, size and shape of these wings seems to vary depending on the appearance and persona of the Valkyrie in question. They hold an angel blade similar to those the angels have but slightly different in shape. They seem to be immune to all weaponry aside from a select few objects such as the First Blade, the Colt and other angel blades, again like angels.
