Talk:Nora Valkyrie/@comment-70.62.246.162-20140816231208/@comment-4010415-20140825105255

.*Claps* Wonderful rebuttal, anon! Nora is, indeed, based on Thor, not Queen of Hearts. Besides, Monty said that, just because the RWBY characters are inspired by/allude to characters from classic stories, it does not mean that they'll act like or follow the same path/story as those characters.

For example: Jaune is not going to be burned at the stake, Yang is not going to break into some poor Ursa family's house and eat their porridge before passing out in one of their beds, Glynda is not going to start floating around in magical fairy bubbles, etc etc.

As for Nora's personality, to be honest, you'll have to actually consult Miles and Kerry, rather than Monty. Monty came up with who Nora and Ren are based on and the basic concepts of them, but Miles and Kerry are the ones who came up with their personalities. Monty wrote a sentence for each of them: "Nora is a powerful woman." "Ren is an honorable warrior." Miles and Kerry decided it'd be funny if Nora always has energy while Ren never has energy, almost as if they share the same amount of energy between them and Nora just takes it all. My source?
