Nora Valkyrie

BOOOM!!!

Today, I submit the queen of the castle, the gal with the hammer, the one, the only: Nooooooraaaaa!!

Too much? Maybe. It's just that she is my favourite protagonist in the entire RWBY series (don't ask about my favourite antagonist, I don't want to spoil the surprise. I can say that it would be hell to sprite....).
Nora is the always cheerful companion of the ever-silent Lie Ren (Monty T nT) and second member of team JNPR. With her crazy attitude she has shown a lot of battle tactics that no ordinary teenager could come up with. With her trusty hammer Magnhild by her side, she is sure to crush her opponents and at least break their legs. Together with Lie Ren (but not 'together-together') she has slewn dozens of (or two) Ursae, or Beowolfs, in the middle of the night, or day, to make a boatload of Lien (currency) by selling their skin as rugs. At least, in her recurring dream. I wouldn't be suprised if it actually could happen though, they make a great team!

As seen in this sprite, Nora is known to launch herself in the air (here she is standing on the ground, hence the shadow), while standing on her hammer, use Magnhild as a rocket launcher, or slam the flat end of the hammer into an opponent, with an added burst of energy from the other end. No, I did not mess up the shading on the hammer, I tried to add some intricate pattern and failed, okay?

Boop

EDIT: This kinda looks like my sprite I'm soooo glad it turned out so that it looks like a figurine I did not use for reference:
