Grane is a magnificent white horse, gifted to Brünnhilde by the god Wotan. He plays a significant role in the story:
* Symbol of power and freedom: Grane represents Brünnhilde's fierce independence and her connection to the gods.
* Means of transportation: He carries Brünnhilde to the battlefield and back, serving as her loyal companion.
* Important plot point: Grane is present during the climactic scene where Brünnhilde's father, Wotan, attempts to kill her but is stopped by Siegmund.
While there's no horse called "Die Valkery," Grane is a crucial element of the "Die Walküre" opera, embodying the spirit of its heroine and playing a part in the unfolding drama.
