The small group worked as one to bring the elk down. As Eldi dealt the lethal blow Valkyrie leapt forward and seized the side of its neck. Every bite to a vital area would hasten the creature's demise and end its suffering quicker. A quick death for her prey was something Valkyrie strove for in every hunt. While it was necessary for her to eat other living things it wasn't necessary for her prey to suffer.
Like her compatriots Valkyrie fell on the carcass ravenously. The amount of traveling she'd been doing had been wearing on her and every meal counted if she was going to remain in peak physical condition. The more food in her belly today, the better off she would be for the journey ahead.
Valkyrie sighed around a chunk of meat as the obnoxious chorus of coyotes voices drifted to her on the breeze. A dozen were on their way, said Eldi's companion. Fantastic. The idea of giving up their kill rubbed Valkyrie the wrong way. No way she'd give it up without a fight. Sharing was one thing. There was more meat here than her band could eat in one sitting and it was doubtful that they'd stay long enough to finish it off. Leaving it to the 'yotes was one thing. Having it taken from them was another. "Cocky bastards," she commented dryly. "What'dya say we knock them down a few pegs?"
Valkyrie was unperturbed. This was a battle of wills. It could be won or lost without bloodshed so long as the wolves remained united and unruffled. The threat of violence was also a useful tool. One she intended to use heavily.
Seemingly without caution she leapt over the carcass and exposed her fangs to the approaching coyotes. In actuality her move was a calculated one meant to drive in a small wedge of doubt into the hearts of the coyotes. Right now their superior numbers made them feel confident, but how quickly would that confidence waver once it became clear the wolves had no intention of backing down?

This character has a noticeable Icelandic accent!
Valkyrie also has a female melanistic japanese macaque named Inga. Unless she's mentioned IC it's safe to assume she's not with her master.
It can be assumed that Valkyrie has a bear skull mask hanging from a strap around her neck at all times.
