I don't use poly self and only 3 out of the 9 are Valkyries. #1 is a 
female Ranger.

Valkyries are IMO the easiest to play, certainly to get going properly. 
My first ascension was a Valkyrie, but since then I've not played as one.

Having only female Valkyries is a bit inconsistent IMO. OK, they were 
all female, but you can have female Knights and Samurai..
