Abilities
Maltran fights using a long spear, similarly to Alisha, her trainee. She also shares her mystic arte, Light Blast, with her, which is a series of quick upward thrusts with her spear. Maltran's battle style is also similar to Victoria's from Tales of Graces, 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.

Past
Maltran was born in Marlind into a 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 Hyland and Rolance, malevolence accumulated over the battlefield, which caused her jealous fellow countrymen to turn into lizardmen hellions 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. 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.

Notes & Trivia

 * Maltran's manner of clothing is similar to Victoria's from Tales of Graces in that they both wear predominantly blue outfits with knee-high boots and white pants. Both of them also wear their hair in ponytails, although Maltran's is longer than Victoria's. This may be one of many nods to the battle system, which Tales of Zestiria draws inspiration from Tales of Graces.
 * In the anime adaptation Tales of Zestiria, Maltran is not corrupted and does not serve as an antagonist at any point in the series.
