Volume 1[]
“ |
♫ It's morning! It's morning! It's morning! It's morning! ♫ |
” |
—Nora, demonstrating that she is a morning person
“ |
We've been friends for soooooooo long! What are the odds we'd still be together? Well, not 'together-together'... Not that I'm not saying that you're not handsome; you are handsome, but that'd just be weird, right? |
” |
“ |
Maybe we can bribe the headmaster. No, that won't work, he has a school. |
” |
—Nora, talking to Ren about getting on the same
team
“ |
I know! We'll have some sort of signal! Like a distress signal! (gasps) A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest! Can you imitate a sloth? |
” |
—Nora, talking about her 'plans' with Ren
—Nora, while poking at Ren
—Nora, after the
Ursa she was riding dies
“ |
♫ I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle ♫ |
” |
—Nora, after getting her
relic
—Nora, when beating the Death Stalker
“ |
So, there we were, in the middle of the night... |
” |
—Nora, beginning her story about a recurring dream
“ |
Ooh! We'll break his legs! |
” |
—Nora, offering to help Jaune with his bully problem
Volume 2[]
“ |
Off with their heads! |
” |
—Nora, after waking up
—Nora, bemoaning the fickle ways of women
“ |
We're actually not "together-together..." |
” |
—Nora, to Jaune
“ |
Practice what you preach, Pyrrha. |
” |
—Nora, giving advice to Pyrrha
—Nora, to Ren
“ |
Save the world?! You're going on world-saving missions without us?! I'm hurt! Sad! Maybe a little hungry. That last one's not your fault... |
” |
Volume 3[]
“ |
Oh! Aim at the enemy! |
” |
—Nora, about puking
“ |
We've got a world-renowned fighter on our team, what's basically a ninja, I can bench five of me... Jaune... We've trained all year, our weapons are awesome, Glynda barely yells at us anymore and... Uhh... Jaune! |
” |
“ |
Don't be so nervous! The worst that could happen is we lose! Then it's just a few more years of walking around school with everyone knowing we're failures, our friends will slowly abandon us to preserve their social status, we won't be able to show our faces in class, no-one will sit with us in the cafeteria, and Ren and I have no parents so we have no home left to go to, we'll be officially renamed Team LOSE-iper! *manic sobbing* |
” |
—Nora, on the prospect of losing and revealing that she and Ren are orphans
“ |
No, silly, not 'a flower'! 'Flour,' like in baking. |
” |
—Nora, about "Flower Power"
“ |
Oooh, I sense hesitation. |
” |
—Nora, after Pyrrha expresses doubt about Jaune's tactics
“ |
YEAH! Team ears only! |
” |
—Nora, when Brawnz interrupts the JNPR team meeting
“ |
No more moping around! We gotta get your butt in shape for the big fight! It could be today. It could be tomorrow. It could be the most important fight of your entire life! |
” |
—Nora, encouraging Pyrrha for her singles fight
“ |
If it looks the same coming up as it does going down, then there's something wrong! |
” |
—Nora to Ren, about his energy juice
“ |
But we wouldn't be here if we weren't up for it. |
” |
—Nora to Ruby, about their journey to Haven
Volume 4[]
“ |
I still think a grenade launcher would've really brought the look together. |
” |
—Nora, about Jaune's new look
“ |
You know, that actually explains a lot. |
” |
—Nora, on Jaune having seven sisters
“ |
Well, what if she doesn't want to go with you? |
” |
“ |
Seriously? Now you're tired of telling us stories? |
” |
—Nora, calling
Qrow Branwen out on being evasive in answering
“ |
We don't have time for safe! If we make it to Mistral, we'll bring back help! If we don't, at least we'll have a better view of the land! Up there, we can see if there's somewhere else we can go! |
” |
—Nora, suggesting that Team RNJR split
—Nora, in response to Jaune telling Ren and Nora to take care of each other
—Young Nora, to young Ren as they hide during the destruction of
Kuroyuri
“ |
Easy's no fun anyway. |
” |
—Nora, to Ren as they hike up the mountain
“ |
No. I won't let you kill yourself like this. After everything we've been through, I won't let it end. |
” |
—Nora, to Ren
Volume 5[]
“ |
So, is this not going at all like anyone thought it would? |
” |
—Nora, after meeting Professor Lionheart
“ |
This is perfect! We were stuck at a dead end, but now, we can just take little cute boy Ozpin to Lionheart and have him set things straight! |
” |
—Nora, suggesting they bring
Oscar to Lionheart
“ |
Oh, got shocked by lighting, didn't die. Crazy Thursday! |
” |
—Nora explaining to Oscar how she found out her semblance
“ |
They... they really are magic... |
” |
“ |
I don't need him to hurt. I just need him to GO DOWN! |
” |
Volume 6[]
“ |
We... heard what you said to Cinder, at Haven. You're not being fair to yourself. We love you, just like we loved Pyrrha. We're teammates, family. |
” |
—Nora, to Jaune
“ |
You get back here with my man! |
” |
—Nora, firing at Cordovin's mech, which Ren was perched on top of
Volume 7[]
“ |
Hi. Do you need a new best friend? Our pair name can be… THUNDER THIGHS!!! |
” |
“ |
Finally! Someone said it. Let's kill some cake, huh? Because I can eat two slices before Ren even eats one. Who says I can't? Who says it, huh!? |
” |
—Nora, about eating cake
“ |
Ren, what's going on? Why won't you just talk to me? |
” |
—Nora, to Ren after their bickering
—Nora, to Ren before she gives him a surprise kiss
“ |
Don't make it sound trivial when you know it isn't. You keep talking about how we just need a little more time, but you're not the one having to struggle. |
” |
—Nora, to
Ironwood about his decision on declaring martial law
“ |
They're bearing all of it! The longer this waiting game goes on, the harder each day gets for people down there and now you wanna send in more soldiers? You can't just force people to fall in line. If you do that, you'll just be trading all of these problems for the Grimm! |
” |
—Nora, to Ironwood
Volume 8[]
“ |
But this isn't about just Atlas. Ruby's right. It's about all of Remnant. They need to know in Vacuo, in Mistral, in Vale, what's coming. So they can prepare. |
” |
“ |
Oh, and of course Ren is- um.. I don't know what he is. Every time I think the two of us are making progress, he… (sighs) We've been together our whole lives but I feel like I understand him less now than ever. And I don't know if that's his fault or mine. |
” |
—Nora talking about her relationship with Ren
“ |
I don't actually know who I am… Without Ren. Pretty sad, huh? |
” |
—Nora, to Weiss and Blake
“ |
Like what? Be strong and hit stuff? |
” |
—Nora, about her identity without Ren
“ |
That was pretty awesome. |
” |
—Nora, before she passes out after she overused her Semblance
“ |
Now what am I good for? |
” |
—Nora, after being knocked out from pushing her Semblance's limits.
“ |
Hey... No one's going to make you do anything you don't want to do. |
” |
—Nora, to Penny
“ |
It's just a part of you. Don't forget about the rest. |
” |
—Nora, to Penny
“ |
Don’t apologize. I got hurt doing what I always do, just another ditsy move from Nora. |
” |
—Nora, to Jaune
“ |
How would you know? We were supposed to be a team, but that didn’t matter to you. When things went wrong you pushed us away. You shove people out so you don’t have to feel things that are hard! |
” |
—Nora, to Ren
“ |
Ren, I just wish, I mean, why didn’t you say anything? So we failed as a team, but we succeed as a team too. |
” |
—Nora, to Ren about them being a team
“ |
Well, you’re wrong. All I do is make dumb jokes and smash things with a hammer. |
” |
—Nora, to Ren
“ |
When my mom ran from the Grimm and left me behind, you found me. We became Ren and Nora. But I realized on this mission apart, I don’t know who “Just Nora” is. And if I’m ever going to find out, then I have to do it alone. Because I’ve always loved you, Lie Ren, and that pretty head on your shoulders seems like it’s doing a lot better. But I still got to get mine sorted out before I can be the partner you need. Is that...okay? |
” |
—Nora, to Ren
“ |
Yes you can! It’s just a part of you, remember? If you were only a machine, you never could have fought back for this long. |
” |
—Nora, to Penny
“ |
Guys, she has to go to the Vault. |
” |
—Nora, to everyone about Penny
“ |
Nora Valkyrie is the resident "heavy" weapons specialist of team JNRR. (Miss Valkyrie INSISTED) Her warhammer is indeed heavy, but even as a gun, it maintains its majesty as a multiple grenade launcher. If she can't smash you from up close, well... she'll STILL smash you from afar in one way or another. Also, Nora thinks it's cute when Ruby tries to compare weapons with her, because Ruby can argue all she wants, but Nora knows who's got the loudest boom in the room. Furthermore, Crescent Rose has too many precision parts, who has time for maintaining something like that?! There are pancakes out there to be eaten!
"I still think a grenade launcher would've really brought the look together." -Nora |

—RWBY: Amity Arena
“ |
A girl with the subtlety of a lightning bolt, Nora Valkyrie's thunderous cries for pancakes and violence can always be heard in the halls of Beacon Academy. Many pity Lie Ren, who picks up after Nora, but few know that she is his salvation.
