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?
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 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!
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
“
We always have.
”
—Nora, in response to Jaune telling Ren and Nora to take care of each other
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!
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
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 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.
"BOOP!" -Nora"
