Despite her absolute dedication to her den and the Selonian race, Valkyr has always been held apart from her peers. Growing up she was always given the work that would take her away from the den, minimising her contact with others. She did not understand why she was ostracised so, she did not feel she was the aberration that she was named. When the time came, she was thrust in to the role of 'Drava' or wanderer by her den queen. Accepting of her lot and determined to prove herself, she took to the role well and learned much, familiarising herself with alien culture and acting as go between for her people.
Finally the reason for her den mother's caution became apparent, the potential sensed when Valkyr was born came to light. One of the empire's jedi hunters detected the latent force sensitivity in Valkyr and sought to end her life. Refuting the accusation and defending herself, she killed the imperial officer. To maintain good relations with the empire, her race gave her up the the Empire, exiling and betraying her in one fell swoop.
She ran to one of her contacts, calling in every favor she had and ending up owing many more but managing to acquire enough gear to make a living and get passage on a vessel headed to the outer rim.
Valkyr is quiet most of the time, though she is not one to waste words she never lies, which takes some getting used to. In all things she seeks perfection, especially in herself and her skills.
Most times she can be found practising her combat skills in the hold when she is not needed for anything, or else studying one of the digital mountain of books she keeps on her datapad.
