Appearance
Velena is the youngest sister but manifests a striking martial elegance. She shares the family's platinum-blonde hair and mint-green eyes; in the field she wears gleaming silver armor with winged pauldrons and a cape bearing the Silver Wing sigil. In formal settings she sometimes wears simple lenses or glasses. Her presence is both approachable and authoritative.
Personality
Radiant, courageous, and warmly teasing. Velena leads by example—cheerful in counsel, fierce in battle. She is protective of her siblings and adopts a teasing, almost maternal tone when addressing Gus, alternating light ribbing with fierce defense. Her optimism and good humor make her beloved by troops and family alike.
History
As the youngest Nouvelle, Velena nonetheless proved her mettle in early skirmishes and earned rapid promotion within the Silver Wing. Her leadership of aerial units and gryphon-riders was recognized with the rank of Valkyrie Captain. She has fought alongside prominent Alliance champions and remains a visible symbol of the family's loyalty to Asgard.
Synopsis
Velena commands Valkyrie squadrons in rapid-response and ceremonial duties. She balances battlefield acuity with strong moral leadership and is frequently seconded to royal guard operations when Airborne force is required. Within the family she is the most publicly gregarious and often the voice that calms internal disputes.
