abstract
| - Yuuki is a magical fan. Thanks to Hermod's magic, Yuuki now transforms into a magical girl. Yuuki is the new valkyrie and is charged with protecting Midgard and Asgard from the forces of the fire giant Surt.
* Action Girl: though he used to be a guy.
* Ascended Fanboy: parodied and deconstructed; despite being a Magical Girl fan, Yuuki isn't really happy to have been forcefully turned into a woman and hired as a Walkyrie.
* Chick and Dude Magnet: Chiaki, Taki, Loki, Freya... the scary thing is, she seems to attract even more girls since her genderbent.
* First Law of Gender Bending: When Hermod tells Yuuki he can't undo the gender bending.
* Foreshadowing: Yuuki's rather squick-y costume manipulation involving the ribbon.
* Gender Bender
* Gender Blender Name: Yuuki (Courage), while a male name, is very similar to the feminine Yuki (Hope or snow, depending on the characters).
* Giant Waist Ribbon
* I Just Want to Be Normal: well, more like I just want to be a guy again, but still.
* Magical Girl: of the Magical Girl Warrior variety
* Man, I Feel Like a Woman
* Naughty Tentacles: Of ribbon
* Power Parasite: Yuuki is able to steal power from Otsana and Shebi
* Red Eyes, Take Warning: Yuuki does this in the chapter Game Changer in a way reminiscent of a Split Personality Takeover. Or indeed in a way reminiscent to Freya's eyes when she was trying to kill Yuuki directly.
* Super Gender Bender
* Transformation Sequence
* Weak but Skilled: Yuuki continually impresses Thor and Hermod by quickly mastering abilities other Valkries never even knew they had, but since everyone else s/he fights is either a legendary hero, a mythological monster, part-god, or some combination thereof, s/he's always outclassed in terms of strength. (However, the fact that Yuuki is a gender-bent male does lead to some Unfortunate Implications regarding power vs. skill.) Lampshaded by Yuuki. "Why is everybody I meet stronger than me!?" indeed.
