- Valiant Shield is the fourth child and only son to Shining Armor and Princess Cadence and the fraternal twin brother to Cascading Insignia—Val was born 12 minutes after his sister. The set of twins' names are inspired by their father's.

- Valaint Shield has always styled himself as a champion of a bygone era ever since he could remember. One who lives by the knightly codes of valor, justice, and courage. Possessing an "active imagination," he enjoys eating anything not nailed down to the floor, and is the #1 fan of David Hasselhoof's (bad pun is bad) music. Val and his twin have always been the dynamic duo and have the twin powers of always being able to just know what the other one is thinking/up to—which lead to some adorable antics as foals.

- As soon as he turned the minimum age to join the guard—he and his sister jumped at the chance and were readily accepted due to their father's legacy. The twins were in the same battalion as their cousin Silver Lining along with a pegasus named Blue Jay and an unicorn named Flame Streak and were lead by Flash Magnus. The gang of guards were always the most savvy and well-organized group that always got the job done. Valiant Shield was ecstatic for his twin when she was promoted to captain of the group after Flash's retirement. Val is pretty sure Flash only retired so the aging pegasus wouldn't have to listen to his big mouth anymore…

- When trouble arose in far away lands in the form of a volatile rebellion, the Equestrian Army lead by Discord at the time, went to try to quell the tension. Unfortunately the army was smashed leading to the death of King Discord along with several other members of the Guard—Silver Lining was grievously injured in the process trying to protect Cassie. Valiant felt solely responsible for Silver's injuries, if he had been focusing on the team instead trying to find glory for himself he could have been there to protect his twin. He was upset when Silver, Blue Jay, and his twin decided to leave the team but he still had his best friend Flame Streak.

- Although Valiant Shield is still very active with his Guard duties, he enjoys wondering the world looking for stories and adventures to bring back to his littlest sister, Skyla. He considers himself to be very cultural-savvy and hopes to one day help Flurry Heart as a diplomatic adviser when she takes the throne.

Additional Notes: He's the only one out of his siblings that cannot sing to save his life but that doesn't stop him from trying.
