For those of you that play Halo 2 you know there is a symbol of a valkyrie. What does the valkyrie typically resemble?

In modern art, the valkyries are sometimes depicted as beautiful shieldmaidens on winged horses, armed with helmets and spears. However, valkyrie horse was a kenning for wolf (see Rök Stone), so contrary to the stereotype, they did not ride winged horses. Their mounts were rather the packs of wolves that frequented the corpses of dead warriors. They were gruesome and war-like.

Blonde braids, horned helmet, big metal breastplate with big metal breasts...or is that just in Wagner's operas?
I suppose they'd look like any other warrior. Maybe some animal skins, cloaks, blood stains, a skirt/kilt of some type. Shinguards.
Big muscles. I mean, they're hauling off dead guys...they'd look pretty tough, I guess.
But they're generally described as beautiful, so I guess it would be like a hot chick wearing her boyfriend's clothes, that sorta thing. Maybe like when a chick works on a car and gets all sweaty and greasy and smells like brake dust and dirty motor oil.
