Personality
Maltran is a strict teacher but appears as one who also cares, as well as being knowledgeable. She appears calm but inside she contrasts from her usual persona into a dark one, who is obsessed with ideals of nothing but war and destruction.

Abilities and Powers
The two have share the same techniques. She also shares her same mystic arte, Light Blast, and with her, which is a series of quick upward thrusts with her front spear. Maltran's battle style is also quite similar to Victoria's, having the same weapon of choice and sharing artes that are similar in appearance, including quick spear thrusts and spin kicks performed on the impaled spear.

As a daemon, she is able to make her body blend in with the malevolence of the surrounding areas and use is also able to use the environment to spread her malevolence in a solid form. The shape of the solid form can be changed and suited to match her situation. Maltran is a powerful instructor who is said to have came out of the Battle of Glaiveland unharmed.

This was actually the time she had become a daemon, being effected by the battlefield which had also changed her personality. Due to being a daemon, Maltran has the ability to see spiritual beings, as have seen when she had glanced at Lailah when speaking to Sorey in front of Alisha's residence. She has strong prowess with using spears and is able to face against multiple enemies due to its reach and her quick strikes.

Weapons
Maltran fights using a long spear, similarly to Alisha, her trainee. Like many other instructors in the series, she is shown to be a lance user.

Past
Maltran was born in Marlind into a long line of family of knights. With the death of the heirs, the succession was forced upon her, and she disciplined herself with her strong sense of responsibility, in time becoming known as the "Blue Valkyrie". Ten years prior to the events of the story, during one of the skirmishes between both Hyland and Rolance, malevolence have accumulated over the battlefield, which caused her jealous fellow countrymen to turn into lizardmen monsters and attack her.

A Rolance soldier who ran away in the midst of the battle saw them attacking her in a large group, which left him wondering how she managed to survive some ten years after her seeming death. In reality, Maltran lost her faith in humanity and decided that destroying the world will result in restoring it, so she joined forces with Heldalf and Salem. When she returned to Ladylake, she took the dreamy and pacifist Princess Alisha under her wing and began pretending to support her. With the help of the princess, she began to incite actions within the Hyland council to push the war into an earlier start.
