Geiravör - The Spear Bearer

 This is a revisit of Geiravör Valkyrie of Bearing Spears (or Valkyrie of Impaling, if you will). The previous iteration was in 5th edition stats, here is a pure "OSR" version. I'm still debating what spell-like abilities to give her.

Geiravör (“spear goddess”) has fiery red-orange hair and wears a cloak of hawk feathers. When she appears on the battlefield, it is taken as a sign that Odin watches over the bravest warriors. She carries a spear with great skill, striking down those who falter in their duty. Though she is not the most powerful of the Valkyries, she is among the most determined and fierce.

Geiravör is known for her strong will and single-minded focus. At times, she will follow her own judgment rather than the guidance of her sisters if it serves her mission. In her former life, she was a shield-maiden to a great jarl, where her bravery and strength earned her the respect of her fellow warriors. Her talent with the spear was so great that she became known as the spear-bearer, or even the spear goddess, for her unmatched skill in battle.
