Whitney Byrde

Whitney Lexus Byrde-Horton (formerly Whitney Byrde) is a Valkyrie and the adopted princess of the Shinaire continent on Newerth.

Personality
Whitney has been described as kind, caring, and selfless.

She loves winter.

Abilities
Being a Valkyrie, Whitney possesses the Early Taint, which activated upon the age of 10.

She is skilled with both ballet and combat (as a result of Shinairan royalty believing that self-defense is important) but her magical skills are exceptional. She possesses elemental affinities for Mana, Ice, Moon, and Light. Her weapon of choice is a wand.

She is so pure of heart that not even the Dark Armour can corrupt her.

Unknown
Whitney's biological parents, Rhue Cortèz and Vexy Horton, did not want her and abandoned her as an infant. Luckily, the royal family of Shinaire had found her and adopted her.

She would often play around in the dangerous Palace of Celerity, home to deadly monsters and traps. At the age of 12, she defeated a hydra that had terrorized Shinairan villages and towns.

In 2015
At the approximate age of 14, Whitney visits the Tirahnys continent, incognito, under the name Whitney Horton (though unaware that this is her real identity) with her maid, Miss Shinaire 2014, Maria Shinheart.

As a queen
Whitney changes her last name from "Byrde" to "Byrde-Horton", as, being a Valkyrie and thus a Horton, it would make sense to have her original last name, but also not throwing away the name she had as Shinaire's princess, after being adopted by its royal family, so she will use both.

In Cosmic Interference
Whitney was killed by Carys de Búrca at some point.
