Nihil

I may have mentioned before that Valfrey was initially meant to be a more Japanese take on a butterfly orb since my Morpho Knight (Muthsera) used to not be Japanese at all, despite canon Morpho Knight leaning into Japanese themes. That originally led to me using the name Valfrey for her since it is a possible transliteration of Morpho Knight's Japanese name, Barufurei Naito. There was meant to be a lore explanation that explained that Valfrey ended up calling themselves that due to them mispronouncing the word butterfly. This was later changed.

Today the primary inspiration behind me keeping Valfrey as their name is that I used “Freya” as a nickname to Valfrey vaguely remembering that there was a norse deity of that name, then eventually got around to doing some research into the deity and finding out that she is sometimes known as “Valfreyja” and her brother being named Freyr. This led to me thinking “Valfrey” would be a sweet gender neutral alternative, though upon closer inspection Freyr is apparently sometimes known as Frey so that is a bit of a bust. (On a side note I do not believe that canon Morpho was named after Freya, the Valfreyja name is rather obscure.)

The current lore is that Valfrey was originally named Freya by her adoptive parents, then the name updated into Valfreyja upon a certain milestone of their life, then this got changed into Valfrey as they assumed a non-binary identity.

What inspired me to make them non-binary was the song “Terra Incognita” by Project Pitchfork, which mentions three entities imagining a planet taking turns He says, She says, It says, followed up by a They which is supposed to be those three as a group, yet I liked it more as a fourth entity for OC creation purposes. These four would be the four original matterborn who created my Kirbyverse, each being assigned one of these pronouns, Valfrey obtaining They/Them, which quickly turned into They/She as I developed her character more.

The earliest depiction of Valfrey labels them as “Valfrey Knight”, yet I quickly switched to calling them just Valfrey figuring they would not want to be called a knight when they are clearly a samurai. There were a few times where I noted down that Barufurei Samurai is their warrior title, but this idea was never really used in practice and eventually dropped.

He's the red Kirby we see in KATAM

For the longest time he did not believe that Blue Kirby existed because they never met. This is a bit of a callback to how Blue Kirby replaced Red Kirby in the series.

He accidentally travelled backwards in time while battling Marx alongside Keeby and Kusamochi and grew up primarily in the distant past.

His favorite “Kirby” is Keeby, which is a low bar.

His least favorite is Kusamochi because she betrayed him and almost got him killed once.

He likes Shadow Kirby and often converses with him.

He used to look up to Meta Knight until he met him as an adult in modern times.

He hates bronto burts with a burning passion for getting in his way all the time

Chugs olive oil shots instead of cooking a lot of the time because he sucks ass at cooking since all the Kirby cooking skills went into Kusamochi.

Extremely cynical, but used to be heroic

Used to be insecure about being dark matter but doesn't care at all anymore

Stone Ability, likes to prank people with it or use it to blend in in general.

Covered in scales.

Learned how to cast magic magic from his ex Ur36 Ume (Later Dark Mind)

Taught the Heroes of Yore how to create Spears of the Heart.

Grew up among Dream Matterborn who taught him how to use Dream Magic.

Learner dark magic on his own which he primarily uses.

Functions as an Enforcer for Clan Eon-Eon.

Really loves cowboys which is a callback to his namesake being Dutch Van der Linde from the Red Dead Redemption series.

He got the facial scars from Ume and the other two from when Galacta Knight stabbed him with a Heart Spear

Also he lives in this cave I once drew the layout of for an RP. Ignore "Argos' Room" that is retconned since Argos' owner left the fandom.
