Etymology and allusion[]

[view · edit · purge]Valkyries are the goddesses from Norse mythology that collect the souls of dead warriors to take them to Valhalla, the hall of the slain. Valkyries are often depicted as beautiful women wielding shining spears and riding flying horses. The word "valkyrie" comes from Old Norse valkyrja, which means "chooser of the slain".

Its initial incarnation from Final Fantasy VIII takes on jet or fighter plane motifs. This may be inspired by the XB-70 Valkyrie, a prototype jet fighter plane developed by the US Air Force to create a jet plane that would be fuel efficient and move at supersonic speeds undetectable to radar.
