As a Titan Watcher and the leader of the Valarjar Val'kyr - It is Eyir's job to make sure that only the most glorious of combatants are allowed entry into the Halls of Valor. She is also charged with observing then skills of ascended vrykul shieldmaidens in order to only select the most prominent ones which then will become Val'kyr which will be allowed to serve the Halls of Valor for all eternity.
Much of Eyir's backstory is unknown however - and as for the most recent years; the only thing that can be sure is that Eyir's view on the mortal races is a unstable one at best. While the Banshee Queen tried to imprison and enslave Eyir; a good deal of mortal champions did prove to Eyir and the inhabitants of the Halls of Valor that not only were they talented enough in combat to beat Eyir herself and even the mighty Odyn and Helya - But a certain group of adventurers also saved the Halls of Valor when Sigryn - The daughter of God-King Skovald went mad with fel power and sought to lay the Halls of Valor to ruin.
As the Nexus called upon Eyir; she answered the call gladly, knowing that there were capable Valkyr she trusted left behind in the Halls of Valor which could take on her responsibilities as Eyir for the first time in a good while picked up her weapons to fight within a new realm filled with new allies and foes.

Skin suggestions
Eyir with her base appearance: (Without Weapons)
As her base Appearance is that of a somewhat "Holy" look - I figured optional skins could include a "Shadowy" one and perhaps one that had her look more burning / on fire / A Molten Val'kyr.
As for alternative appearances; I figured she could have one where she does not sport wings and her "ascended" look but instead takes on (Ironically) a mortal appearance as one of the Shieldmaidens who looks to become a Val'kyr in their after life.
(This example image is an image of Lagertha - A Fallen Valkyra)
