So I don’t know if anyone’s thought of this yet, but is it possible that China Sorrows and Gordon Edgley are Valkyrie’s real parents?
Just a thought I had based on a few things:
- Valkyrie looks a lot like China.
- Her personality is a lot like Gordon’s, and they seem very close for uncle and niece.
- When China meets the Echo Stone Gordon, he is one of the few people she is genuinely warm and nice towards. (Valkyrie being one of the others)
- At Valkyrie’s 18th birthday toast, Desmond Edgley mentions that he didn’t first see her until she was two days old, which seems a bit unusual since fathers are supposed to be there for the birth.
- If China had a child, that child would be in a lot of danger and would be a target for people wanting revenge on China (Eliza Scorn, Skulduggery Pleasant, etc.) so giving baby Valkyrie to Desmond and Melissa for safekeeping would make a lot of sense.
- People seem to fall in love with Valkyrie at first sight a lot (just like they fall in love with China a lot). For example, Fletcher, Caelan, Aaron Boyle, Owen from the club Val and Fletch went to, Alan from the coffee shop, etc.
- In Last Stand of Dead Men, Dusk promises Valkyrie that one day he’ll tell her a secret about herself that even she doesn’t know. Since Dusk’s tasted Valkyrie’s blood, it’s possible he could tell she was related to China from that.
