I just thought of something: Nora's last name. Now there's a high probability that Monty (in his wisdom) picked "Valkyrie" as her surname just because it sounds cool (and it does), but what if it's more than that? In Norse mythology, Valkyrie were warrior maidens--and Nora definitely fits the bill, even if we haven't seen him in action yet--tasked with escorting the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla.

A possible (but unlikely) expanation: Foreshadowing. Someone close to Nora is going to die in an incredibly badass fashion, and Nora will be the one to make their last stand known. Or maybe I'm getting the sybolism wrong. I don't know, but it must mean something.

At the very least, we should get to hear Jeff Williams' take on The Ride of the Valkyries during an epic Nora fight scene.
