Background / History

Durandal's rise as a Valkyrie came through exceptional talent and relentless training. Her particular talent allows her to improve through effort without an apparent ceiling: each additional lap, battle, or training session makes her stronger. Her daily routine includes running, striking sandbags, and bodyweight exercises, and she attained both A-rank and S-rank status at an unusually young age 30 232 375.

She carries a World Bubble within herself, an endangered world that had drifted in the Sea of Quantum. Safeguarding it became the central reason for her continued loyalty to Otto Apocalypse and Schicksal, despite doubts about Otto's methods 375.

After reaching the vicinity of the Imaginary Tree through the Second Divine Key, Durandal gained the means to transfer responsibility for the World Bubble to another guardian. This left her freer to choose her own path 375. When she and Rita uncovered Otto's plan to reset history at the cost of the present world, Durandal chose to oppose her teacher and entrusted the World Bubble's protection to Rita before confronting him 383 386.

Appearance

Durandal is a tall, elegant Valkyrie with long golden-blonde hair and sharp blue eyes. Her usual combat image is defined by white armor and a knight's spear, reinforcing her reputation as Schicksal's foremost Valkyrie 127 161.

• Long blonde hair, sometimes tied into a ponytail for combat 234
• Blue eyes 127
• White Valkyrie armor, including the Bright Knight: Moonbeam God-Slaying Armor 161 234
• Carries a knight lance as her signature weapon 33 127

Personality

Durandal is blunt, direct, and results-oriented. She dislikes evasive conversation and expects others to state their purpose plainly; Otto's interruptions during missions readily frustrate her 26. Her self-confidence is genuine rather than boastful, rooted in disciplined training and an unwavering belief that a Valkyrie must act decisively 30.

She possesses a strong knightly sense of responsibility. This leads her to protect civilians, take responsibility for difficult missions, give Kiana a chance to leave “with honor,” and oppose Otto once his plan threatens the present world 99 230 383.

Outside combat, Durandal can be unexpectedly naïve, easily embarrassed, and socially inflexible. Her seriousness often contrasts with a fondness for football, ice cream, and simple personal interests 30 43. Though initially rigid in her loyalty to Schicksal, she becomes more reflective and independent after understanding the consequences of Otto's plans 375 386.

Abilities & Skills

Valkyrie Combat Mastery

Durandal is regarded as Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie and is capable of defeating high-level opponents through speed, strength, experience, and technical control rather than relying solely on weapons 33 96.

• Destroys missile barrages and combat mechs with her lance and physical attacks 34 114

• Fought Kevin in close combat and forced him to acknowledge her strength 233 234
• Can subdue opponents in close quarters even while unarmed 181

Growth Through Effort

Durandal's defining talent is continual growth through training and combat. She has no known bottleneck as long as she continues to exert herself 231 232.

• Daily physical conditioning directly improves her stamina and combat ability 30 232
• Gains strength from repeated battles rather than singular awakenings 234

• Summons a giant knight phantom to wield a greatsword or shield her from large-scale attacks 234 262

World Bubble Power

Durandal can draw upon the World Bubble she carries for additional combat power 234 375.

• Moved too quickly for Kevin to track before landing a direct strike 234
• The World Bubble is also the source of her long-term responsibility and former loyalty to Otto 375

Equipment / Weapons / Items

Relationships

• Rita Rossweisse — Her adjutant, closest colleague, and trusted confidante. Durandal ultimately entrusts Rita with safeguarding the World Bubble before opposing Otto 30 383.
• Otto Apocalypse — Her bishop and teacher. Durandal initially supports him because of her duty to protect the World Bubble, but turns against him when she learns his plan would erase the present world 26 375 386.
• Shen Gonglin — Initially her combat-test opponent and rival; Durandal later awards him S-rank status. Their relationship is repeatedly described as that of former partners, though Durandal continues to protect and care for him 33 41 150 233.
• Kiana Kaslana — A former mission target whom Durandal challenges to prove herself in battle. Their hostility gradually becomes mutual respect and an alliance against Otto 230 231 375 394.
• Raiden Mei — Durandal initially defeats Mei while retrieving Kiana, but later recognizes her resolve and cooperates with her against the Herrscher threat on Coral Island 228 252 262.
• Immortal Blade — Durandal leads Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie squad and directs its members during major Honkai operations 150 256.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shen Gonglin's Assessment

Durandal returns to headquarters and agrees to test Shen Gonglin's combat strength. She initially dominates their spar, but Shen Gonglin's Angel transformation and ensuing chaos lead to her first defeat by him. Despite their rivalry, Durandal formally recognizes his strength and grants him S-rank Valkyrie status 30 33 35 36 41.

St. Freya and the Gem of Desire Incident

Durandal arrives at St. Freya during a Honkai Beast crisis, making a dramatic high-altitude descent into the battlefield. Although temporarily weakened, she assists Shen Gonglin against an Emperor-class Honkai Beast and later defeats the Heavenly Father mecha during the rescue of Wendy 96 99 127.

Schicksal Conflict and Kiana's Retrieval

While initially choosing Schicksal's side against Shen Gonglin, Durandal later retrieves Kiana and takes both Kiana and Shen Gonglin to a Schicksal outpost rather than immediately returning to headquarters. She challenges Kiana to earn her freedom through combat, while explaining that Schicksal remains necessary to protect humanity from Honkai 161 228 230 231.

Coral Island Operation

Durandal works alongside Mei and the Immortal Blade during the Coral Island crisis. She protects Mei from the fused Herrscher's attacks, creates openings for her attacks, and continues fighting despite the enemy's combined gravity and ice powers 252 258 262.

Opposition to Otto

After learning that Otto intends to reset history to save Kallen Kaslana, Durandal decisively breaks with him. She entrusts Rita with the World Bubble, allies with Kiana and Shen Gonglin, and infiltrates Otto's tower to stop the plan 383 386 394 396.
