Appearanceedit | edit source

Rossweisse is a beautiful young woman with long, straight silver hair and aqua-colored eyes
who appears to be in her late teens. Her body measurements are [B96-W61-H89 cm] [B38-
W24-H35 in]; height is 173 cm (5 feet 8 inches) and body weight is [59 kg].

Her battle attire is normally of a set of Valkyrie armor, which consists of a white breastplate
with gold and pale blue accents and matching, fingerless gauntlets, boots, hip guards, and wing-
shaped hair clips. She also wears a black leotard underneath her breastplate, black thigh-high
stockings, and a pale blue cloth wrapped underneath her hip guards, all of which are clad with
pink lacing along with her hair clips.

For her teaching position at Kuoh Academy, she wears a simple business suit and skirt. When
she is not at work, she is noted for often wearing cheap, plain jerseys. It was pointed out by
Euclid that Rossweisse has a strong resemblance to his sister, Grayfia, as both of them have
silver hair.
Personalityedit | edit source
Rossweisse is known to be a very serious person, acting professional prioritizing work and study
above all else since her youth, this however, caused her to miss out on romance, thus is
extremely bitter and sensitive about not having a boyfriend and is quick to anger or sadness
when made fun of. She has taken a liking to her role as a teacher in education for her students,
making sure they understand her lessons and helping them whenever they're in a bind and is
appreciated for it. Rossweisse has little tolerance for those who behave unprofessionally,
especially for lewd acts at inappropriate times. When she lectures them on standards, they
usually retort with her simply being jealous. This may have some truth to it as on numerous
occasions she has expressed interests in doing perverted things with her future boyfriend, she
also desires her lover to be financially stable with a bright future.

Despite her seriousness, she is stated to be clumsy and has a tendency to make rash decisions
without informing anyone. She is highly susceptible to alcohol as one drink from it can leave her
drunk and vomit for extended periods of time. Rossweisse has a lot of repressed baggage from
upholding her uptight and modest demeanor which goes out the window when drunk and
begins opening her true thoughts and frustrations. She also has a compulsion to buy things at
sales when they're cheap, showing enthusiastic excitement whenever she goes to 100-Yen
shops, causing Issei to dub her "The 100-Yen Shop Valkyrie". Rossweisse also has a tendency to
speak using her country's accent when she is flustered.

Like the other girls, Rossweisse acts like someone her age whenever she is on a date with Issei
as she ended up acting shy when she was called cute. She soon develops romantic feelings for
Issei in Volume 17 when he proclaimed to her that he will protect her from Euclid, which he did.

After falling in love with Issei and becoming engaged to him, Rossweisse has started to partake
in perverted activities she normally frowns upon, such as wanting him to apply suntan oil on
her, sleeping with him while wearing revealing lingerie and fighting with the other girls over
him.

Historyedit | edit source

Rossweisse was raised in the countryside by her grandmother, Göndul, as both her parents are
warriors who serve the Norse Gods and rarely come home. Rossweisse was born into a house
that specializes in three types of spiritual magic known as the rune, gandol, and seiz styles that
have been down through her family generations. While still a child, Rossweisse went through
several ceremonies that were meant for her to inherit her family's magical crest, but she wasn't
able to inherit it, and her cousin ended up receiving the position as the family head instead. She
previously had difficulty living up to her families expectations due to Rossweisse's
incompatibility with the magic seiz-style.

As a consequence of trying to make up for her perceived shortcomings in magic, Rossweisse's

school life was completely academic, to the point that she did not have a social life and looked
down on her classmates that rarely spent any time studying, which contributed to Rossweisse's
rapid grade skipping through high-school and college and her degrading nickname, "The
Valkyrie that's never had a boyfriend."

Her talent in other fields grew exponentially enough to surprise her parents, however, it was
still not enough to live up to everyone's high standards, yet after all this time, her clan was still
very understanding as they did not blame or criticize her for her shortcomings.

While in college, Rossweisse wrote an essay about Trihexa but never published it. Regardless,
she is considered to be a sought-after expert on the creature by Qlippoth. While working as a
Valkyrie, she had trouble finding souls of heroes to bring to Valhalla. At some point before the
series, she was appointed as Odin's bodyguard. During her time with Odin, Rossweisse was
basically used as a maid by Odin, taking care of him during his trips, supporting Odin with his
daily life, despite her small salary, and was even mistreated by her fellow Valkyries who called
her Odin's "Servant Girl".

Powers & Abilitiesedit | edit source

Demonic Power: As a Devil, Rossweisse has the power common to a Devil. Like the power to
cast spells and special phenomena, she can also use her demonic powers to enhance her magic
skills.

 Enhanced Offense and Defense: As a Rook, Rossweisse possesses enhanced physical

strength and defense, although she used its defensive traits to strengthen the
effectiveness of her defensive barriers.

Rossweisse's Valkyrie Magic Circle

Master Magician: Rossweisse is highly proficient in the use of Norse magic, specializing in long-
range and bombarding attacks. She is even capable of using summoning and teleportation
spells. According to Le Fay, the Norse magic circles Rossweisse use is of a very rare type,
incorporating very high-level magic symbols in her magic formula. Le Fay described
Rossweisse's self-invented magic technique as extremely intricate and well made and is of such
difficulty that only skilled magic experts can use it. Given the fact that Rossweisse can use such
difficult magic techniques so easily is a testament to her great magic skill. In Volume 11, it is
stated by Azazel that her power is equal to that of a High-class Devil. Rossweisse magic talent is
so formidable that she could theorize the creation of a sealing spell powerful enough to seal
Trihexa, and even Euclid stated that Rossweisse magic abilities are exceptional and is in no way
inferior to her grandmother Göndul, a famous master of magic. In Volume 25, Rossweisse was
able to fight on par with Brynhildr, who is the Strongest Valkyrie in Asgard. In True Volume 2,
due to the power of her magic being enhanced by her Mistilteinn wand, she was capable of
initially overwhelming Akeno, who is a powerful Fallen Angel who can use Holy Lightning.

Rossweisse releasing Elemental Magic

  Elemental Magic: She notably excels in the use of ice, fire, water, lightning, wind,
thunder, light, and explosive-based magic. It is noted that she has inherent talent at
studying and learning offensive magic. Rossweisse has demonstrated great offensive
power with this magic, as she was able to finish off several Midgardsormr clones after
they were weakened and knock down Sairaorg Bael after he let his guard down, despite
him being enveloped in Touki.

Rossweisse using Defensive Magic

 Defensive Magic: Upon returning from her training in Valhalla in Volume 12, Rossweisse
starts to use defensive spells (using the trait of Rook), which are strong enough to easily
shield against Balance Breakers that specialize in destructive power. She also learned
defense magic to negate the adverse effect of touching holy objects such as Holy Swords
and the Holy Bible for a short period of time. As seen when she used two of Xenovia's
Excalibur fragments (Transparency and Mimic) by putting multiple layers of defense
magic on her hand during the Rias-Sairaorg Rating Game match and reading a Bible
without suffering a severe headache.
 Sealing Magic: Rossweisse can also use sealing magic, which she learned by researching
the information about Trihexa. Used in conjecture with barrier magic, she can seal the
movements of mass-produced Evil Dragons in Volume 19 by studying Asia's Evil
Dragons. After modifying her technique, her sealing barrier technique was used by
Three Factions to seal the Emperor Beast of Apocalypse. She could also use it in combat
to seal her foes. Her barrier was even effective against Armaros, the Grigori anti-magic
specialist although she needed time to prepare a stronger barrier as his anti-magic
abilities could destroy a half-baked barrier. In Volume 25, Rossweisse, by enhancing her
power with Mistilteinn, could use her Barrier magic to seal off entire areas to prevent
her foes from escaping.
 Summoning Magic: While she does not excel at it, Rossweisse possesses knowledge in
summoning magic as she was capable of teaching Asia the basics of summoning magic.
 Strengthening Magic: In Volume 22, Rossweisse can use physical enhancement magic to
enhanced her own physical abilities such as increasing her speed. In Volume 23, she
could enhance the physical abilities of the entire Team Red Dragon Emperor of the
Blazing Truth team.
 Hypnosis Magic: In True Volume 1, Rossweisse can use hypnotism magic on Ingvild
Leviathan to lose consciousness.
 Security System Magic: Rossweisse has some level of skill with Security System magic,
as she tried to use it to undo the technique placed on Issei.
 Black Magic[1]
 White Magic[1]
 Cloth Manipulation: Rossweisse is capable of using magic to altering her attire, changing
from her formal suit into her Valkyrie armor.

Flight: Before she was reincarnated, Rossweisse could fly via magic like Loki could. After being
reincarnated as a Devil, Rossweisse can now fly using her devil wings.
Equipmentedit | edit source
Mistilteinn Wand (ミスティルティンの杖, Misutirutin no tsue): This is an old looking, but
powerful wand, which has powerful magic inside it, meant for god-class beings from the Norse
World. Despite not mastering it yet, Rossweisse could use it to further strengthen her already
powerful magic; increasing her defensive magic able to deflect Brynhildr's magic sword and her
magic bombardment, which retired the Chief-Valkyrie in a single attack.
