Lind
From OMGWiki
Lind (the romanization used by the Japanese publishers is Lind, while others think that Rind is more accurate) is the fifth goddess to join the pantheon, and she's a very different character than the previous goddesses. She's a Goddess First Class, Special Duty, Unlimited, meaning that she's a Valkyrie - from Heaven's combat division. Given that, her character is very serious, and she doesn't take any nonsense.
Her first appearance is actually in the quiz videogame ported to the Dreamcast. It was only later she finally appeared in the manga. Rind first appears at Tarikihongan Temple to quarantine the place, and the state that nobody is to leave the grounds on the basis of her hunting down the Angel Eater. She eventually finds it, and leaves. She has yet to reappear in the storyline.
[edit] Development as a Character
Her personality isn't completely emotionless, though. With the help of the other goddesses and Keiichi, Lind's able to finally remember how to smile, and she considers Keiichi to be a lifelong friend.
Lind's character development relies heavily on her angel, Spear Mint. At first, long ago, Lind only had one angel with a single wing; this led others to call her One-Winged Lind. If you thought Urd had it bad with an angel of black and white, Lind had it worse; an angel with a single wing meant that there's an abnormality with her soul, since an angel reflects the soul of her mistress. Lind seemed to realize that she had more than a single angel, and trained heavily in order to attain the power and strength necessary to call forth both of her angels at once. All she wanted was to be able to fit in, and shows others that she was on equal footing. She never was able to, because we find out eventually that an angel appears when there's a heartfelt need for it.
The second angel was transferred over to Keiichi, so Lind could act as a distraction for the Angel Eater. Keiichi managed to use Cool Mint well, and that would be the very first time Cool Mint was called forth.
At the end of her debut arc, Lind finally learns how to smile. Lind's personality isn't heartless, though; earlier, she told both Keiichi and Skuld that their souls were magnificent; they were trying to help with all of their might. It's obvious that she feels empathy and wishes to relate to others, but the hard training she willingly underwent in order to unlock the other half of her reflection caused her to become even more aloof and stoic.
[edit] TV Series
Lind's first appearance in the TV series is episode 22, but only as a silhouette when Belldandy discusses the Valkyries with Keiichi. Rind then appears in episode 23 talking with Kami-sama, and descends to Earth in episode 24 to confront the Lord of Terror. However, she seems a lot more human in this adaption to begin with, and displays kindness and understanding when Belldandy is potentially compromising all of the universe by protecting Keiichi/The Lord of Terror.
