history
Valkyrie was born in a rather unfortunate situation. His mother was a sickly rogue, and his father absolutely nowhere to be found. Or maybe he was there, he really can't remember that well, considering he was little more than a fluffy vegetable when the ruby clan found the little family. They were all promptly taken in - Val, his sister Fae, and their ill mother. In stereotypical fashion, but true nonetheless, his mother was cruelly taken from him not long after her arrival, though the clan's herbs did a great deal to extend her life. The only memory Valkyrie has of her is of her soft, ashen grey plumage in which he and Fae used to nestle. The two siblings were adopted by an ambitious young warrior named Dragoon and his kindly mate Celeste, as the two had recently lost their own clutch.
So Valkyrie grew up, well-nourished and loved, along with his darling sister. Although he was welcomed by the clan as if he'd been born into it, he never quite felt like he really belonged, and for much of his youth he felt excluded (which was not true.) As a result, he opted to focus more on impressing the clan than making friends, determined to show them he was as good as any of them. Perhaps better, he vowed. His apprentice years were some of the busiest of his life, and he was made a warrior ahead of his delicate sister - a full year before he was supposed to be. Drunk on the taste of glory and pride, he continued to make Dragoon and Celeste proud. Especially on the battlefield.
When it came to appoint a new deputy, Valkyrie was not an obvious choice due to his young age. But Dragoon put in a good word for his young son, speaking of his great ambition to prevail, and of his undying loyalty. Then there was his fierceness in battle, and his intelligence. Val's impulsive nature would go away as he matured, Dragoon promised, and Valkyrie's strengths would by far outweigh his shortcomings in the long run.
So, Valkyrie was made deputy. Fae, by that time, had settled down and was content to pass on the bloodline rather than make it great, seeing as she deemed it unlikely her workaholic brother would ever procreate. To him, though, his nieces might as well be daughters and often the roles seem reversed - that the little bundles of joy are in fact Valkyrie's, and that his sister is just watching them while he's away.
