Personality
Among the Valkyrie sisters, Ortlinde is notable for her disciplined, quiet, and highly earnest temperament. Initially presenting a stoic and somewhat mechanical demeanor typical of a divine construct, she gradually displays genuine emotion and subtle hesitancy through her interactions with her Master. As her individuality develops, she occasionally exhibits endearing awkwardness when processing unfamiliar feelings, sometimes attempting to conceal her flustered expression beneath her hood.

When manifesting in her summer Saint Graph, she transitions into an Assassin-class role optimized for rapid movement and specialized covert operations.
Background
Created by the supreme deity Odin as one of the divine battle maidens of Norse mythology, Ortlinde's original purpose was to guide the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla. Upon being summoned by Chaldea, she forms a contract alongside her sisters Thrud and Hildr as part of the composite Servant Valkyrie. Throughout the journey to restore Proper Human History and during various events, she accompanies the Master, steadily transcending her programmed purpose to forge personal bonds and internal emotional depth.

Toward the Master of Chaldea, she maintains unfailing loyalty and develops a deep sense of trust through their shared experiences.
