Reginleif

Reginleif is a female Valkyrie belonging to the thirteen Valkyrie sisters aligned with humanity in Record of Ragnarok.

She is specifically identified as the seventh daughter among the sisters.

Her divine name carries the meaning “the one left behind by the gods,” giving her an air of quiet tragedy and resilience.

Despite this melancholic nuance, her on-page presence is relatively modest and understated.

Reginleif first appears riding a chariot, making her entrance with a sense of classical divine dignity.

She later becomes central to Adam’s combat style once they perform Volundr.

In the second round of Ragnarok, she performs Volundr with Adam.

Through this fusion, she transforms into a pair of brass knuckles, enhancing Adam’s hand-to-hand combat against Zeus.

During Adam’s fight with Zeus, Reginleif remains almost completely unhurt for most of the battle thanks to Adam’s overwhelming physical prowess and technique.

However, when Adam ultimately dies from the strain of the battle, Reginleif also disappears along with him, as per the rules of Volundr.

She is also shown in Loki’s flashback scenes, giving a glimpse of her daily life among her sisters.

In this scene, she is having tea with her sister Randgriz, which reinforces her more peaceful, domestic side.

While Brunhilde is apologizing to Loki after having thrown a watermelon at him, Reginleif cannot hold back a small laugh at the situation.

Immediately afterward, like the other sisters present, she starts to sweat nervously, realizing the danger in laughing at Loki’s expense.

Reginleif comes across as quiet and somewhat reserved, fitting her “left behind by the gods” title.

Her reactions in group scenes suggest she is good-natured but easily flustered when tensions rise.

Her brief laugh during Brunhilde’s apology to Loki shows she has a sense of humor and can find absurdity in awkward moments.

However, her quick switch to nervousness hints at a cautious and prudent temperament.

Even though she plays a key combat role as Adam’s weapon, the narrative does not emphasize flamboyant speeches or bold declarations from her.

Instead, her personality is conveyed through subtle reactions and interactions with her sisters.

Reginleif is notable among the Valkyries as the only one who wears glasses.

Her glasses have light, pale blue frames that give her a soft and intellectual look.

Her eyes are a blue-green color, further reinforcing her cool-toned palette and calm visual impression.

She has black hair cut into a bob, which frames her face neatly and adds to her composed aura.

Her eyebrows are drawn in a straight, “rounded block” style reminiscent of traditional aristocratic or classical aesthetics.

This eyebrow style, combined with her glasses, makes her look both earnest and slightly old-fashioned in a charming way.

Reginleif wears a trench coat–style dress equipped with a cape or mantle.

The outfit mixes practicality with elegance, fitting a Valkyrie who is both a warrior and a divine maiden.

Although she is the seventh sister, she is noticeably shorter than the sisters immediately older and younger than her.

Her relatively small stature contrasts with the power she displays when turned into Adam’s brass knuckles.

Reginleif’s main narrative function is as Adam’s Volundr partner in his fight against Zeus.

By turning into brass knuckles, she allows Adam to channel his divine power directly into his fists, maximizing his close-combat capability.

Throughout most of the fight, Adam’s skill and power are so overwhelming that Reginleif suffers virtually no damage.

This near-untouched state makes her final disappearance more poignant, emphasizing that her end is entirely tied to Adam’s sacrifice.

When Adam dies, the Volundr ends, and Reginleif vanishes along with him.

Her disappearance underscores the deep bond between Valkyrie and human, where the Valkyrie willingly shares their fate in battle.

In Loki’s reminiscence, Reginleif appears as part of the everyday life of the Valkyrie sisters, sharing tea with Randgriz.

This scene, combined with Brunhilde’s chaotic incident with the watermelon and Loki, adds levity and shows that Reginleif has a casual, social side beyond the arena.

Among the Valkyrie sisters, Reginleif is particularly easy to overlook in terms of screentime and impact outside her Volundr role.

This subtlety has even led to some confusion in publications about her exact birth order.

In the magazine version, another sister, possibly meant to be Reginleif, is labeled simply as “seventh daughter,” causing ambiguity.

In the tankobon (collected volume) edition, yet another sister, Razgriz (Randgriz), is mistakenly labeled as the seventh daughter instead.

These mislabels suggest that Reginleif has a comparatively faint presence compared to her more prominently featured sisters such as Brunhilde or Göll.

Ironically, despite being “the one left behind by the gods,” she is sometimes “left behind” even by the printed credits and labels.
