SHINE wrestlers also frequently appear in Valkyrie's shows, further emphasizing the connection. Her housemate Winnie Womack often assists her at these shows. Outside of SHINE, Valkyrie performs private high-end hypnosis shows to a select group of clientele using her SHINE persona to help garner work. Beyond work use Valkyrie also uses her hypnosis to have fun with the performers, at their own expense. In addition to her role as a ring announcer Valkyrie soon found herself employing her techniques to help performers better slip into their characters, enhancing the storytelling of the program. Miriam, a fan of hypnotism, loved Valkyrie and hired her on the spot. Valkyrie also managed to use her hypnotic skill on Miriam Pfeiffer during her interview. When Odette turned down a role with SHINE she suggested that Valkyrie take the job instead, it being as ring announcer for the promotion. Within a few years Valkyrie proved to be one of Odette's best and most talented students. Odette, impressed with the young woman's passion, took her under her wing, suggesting she legally change her name to 'Valkyrie' to better stand out as a performer. Though embarrassed she was a good sport and found her calling in stage hypnotism. While attending a show featuring a young and upcoming Odette Glover, Valkyrie was hypnotized in doing silly acts on stage. At this point her relationship with her mother had strained a bit as Troina wanted her in college. Instead Valkyrie attended acting classes while also working at her father's jewelry store. Valkyrie was a better actress than singer, but her skills were still sub-par and she ended up primarily cast in supporting roles for her high school's plays.Īfter graduating from high school Valkyrie failed to get into any colleges as her focus was never on her studies, resulting in low grades. Unfortunately Valkyrie's singing abilities were almost non-existent, despite attempts to hone them. Growing up Valkyrie was into the arts and had aspirations to become an actress and singer. Her mother, Troina Minh had her just as she was starting law school. Valkyrie was born in Los Angeles, California, to third generation Vietnamese-American jewelry-making father and lawyer mother.
