Name: Valeria Weizenbaum
Magical Girl Name: Waffenhändler
Age: Appears 20
Nationality: Germany
Appearance: Transformed
Untransformed
Description: A feisty and wild girl from Bavaria who has been an occasional ally of the Grand Ministry in recent years. She is fiercely independent and prefers to keep her own path, driving the world in her mystical van to collect trinkets, talismans, and most importantly to her, metal junk to smith guns and prosthetics. She proudly immerses herself in punk culture from her homeland and never plays well with authorities. Her and Ozma go way back, and she was one of the first magical girls to work with her. She offers her services to other magical girls these days as a vendor and sometimes helping hand.
History: She was born with hypochrondroplasia or small limbed dwarfism in the 1940s during the Hitler years. At this time it was German Nazi party policy to euthanize the genetically inferior. Her family attempted to plead with the government for her life while she lay in the hospital. During her stay, she’d discover the fable story that’d become her grimoire and restore her limbs with silver metal. Fleeing Germany afterward filled her with a sense of independence, and a demand to travel the world around her instead of the culture that rejected her. With her new magical girl powers, she constantly creates new limbs for herself and has found her trade in her producing, buying, finding, and selling just about any needed item in the magical world.
Grimoire: Das Mädchen ohne Hände (The Girl Without Hands)
Classification: Fable
Description: An old german story over a miller’s daughter who must give up her hands due to her father making a deal with the devil. She finds and falls in love with a King and is given new hands made of silver.
Grimoire’s Power: Incredible powers of creation with her prosthetic hands, able to mend and mold metal in seconds to create devices ranging from guns and artillery to cars and buildings. She is able to heat them up to smelt iron and adjust them into various tools to make herself into a living and breathing foundry. In a pinch, she can turn them into hand cannons and explode her enemies with shrapnel and cannon.
Misc: She is a huge fan of Einstürzende Neubauten, Kraftwerk, and Can.
