Claudia Bruford, known by the callsign "Blondie," is a German Valkyrie pilot bearing the title *Valkyrie Schwertleite*. Renowned as the "Valkyrie of Salvation," she adopted the moniker "Grim Reaper" after surviving numerous battles that claimed her teammates’ lives, fostering a belief that her presence brought misfortune. Haunted by guilt, she withdrew emotionally, avoiding deep connections to shield herself from further loss. Her transfer to Japan’s Tateyama Air Base thrust her into the orbit of three local Valkyries—Miyako, Azuzu, and Sonoka. Though initially resistant to collaboration, their persistent camaraderie slowly eroded her solitary resolve, compelling her to confront her fear of attachment. This shift paralleled her reckoning with unresolved trauma tied to a cryptic past involving a Norse king and Odin’s enigmatic interest in her destiny. Claudia’s combat prowess shines through her magically augmented Gloster Gladiator, showcasing tactical ingenuity despite her lone-wolf tendencies. Her history includes alliances with European S-class Valkyries Rusalka Evereska and Leyli Haltija, though specifics remain elusive. The narrative traces her struggle to reconcile duty with self-preservation, weaving a portrait of resilience forged through loss and the fragile hope of redemption.
