Appearance:
Personality:
First and foremost, Valeria is extremely laid-back, as well as calm and collected. She always takes a moment to analyse a situation to find the best possible sollution. Usually, she is friendly, though she is also cautious about letting others get close to her. Between her mother dieing and her Typhlosion getting caught in the crossfire of a battle and killed, she's grown to be wary of developing any kind of intimate relationship, due to a fear of losing said person and getting hurt again. At the same time, however, she hates being alone, so she usually likes to socialize and make friends, while keeping a good distance from serious relationships.
She is an open and rather proud lesbian, and will often waste no time in flirting with another girl she happens to find attractive. If she'd feeling especially bold, she may even go as far as stealing a kiss. Of course, she mostly does this for her own amusement, usually to see how the girl in question would react to such advances. Should said girl actually reciprocate her affection, something she figures would never happen, she would suddenly feel awkward, unsure of what to do because of her fear of intimacy. Additionally, though she only resorts to such a method when she has to, she isn't above seducing a young girl if something can be gained from it. She doesn't enjoy taking advantage of others in such a manner, but is willing to if need be. Despite all this, however, she would love nothing more than to (eventually) settle down with someone. For now, she doesn't see it happening. Last but not least, she has something of a knight in shining armor complex. She can't say no to a girl who's in trouble, and if anyone tries to take advantage of the weak and defenseless (especially they're female) while she's around, her Rhyperior has a nice Megahorn to the ribs waiting for them. As such, she can easily be described as something of a "chivalrous pervert".
To clear up something that many people undoubtedly wonder, she doesn't actually hate men. She does, however, have trouble bringing herself to trust them...at least, right away. Her father running off when she was little didn't help much, and is more than likely the reason for this. Regardless, she generally works for whoever can give her the best offer. It's worth noting that this doesn't apply only to money, and can be anything from a hot meal and a place to stay to a few nights in bed (if the client is a female and desperate enough). Either way, whens he has recieved her payment, she will remain loyal until it's decided she isn't needed anymore, even if someone else comes to her with a better offer. On a rare occasion, she might even stick around after her contract is up. As far as peference for Pokemon is concerned, she doesn't really have one. As long as it can battle relatively well, she doesn't really care.
Other: She is illiterate. She never went to school, instead spending her time helping her mother around the house. She tries her best to hide this fact, though it can, at times, be painfully obvious.
Family:
Mother: Amelia; deceased
Relationship with her: Before she died, she and Valeria depended on each other, especially after Liam left with no warning. She became ill and died when Valeria was fifteen
Father: Liam; status unknown
Relationship with him: He left home when she was little, so Valeria isn't very fond of him. Should she ever meet him again, the first thing she'd do is punch him in the face.
Siblings: None.
Other extended family: none that Valeria knows of
History: Valeria was born in a small region known as the Midori Region, which, while nowhere near as impressive as those like Kanto and Sinnoh, was slowly making a name for itself. However, as always, something involving a legendary Pokemon or two took place, only there was no ten-year old boy with a Pikachu to save the day. One natural disaster after another tore the region apart, until it soon reached the point that it was impossible for anyone to live on what little of the region remained. In a desperate attempt to get to safety, her family left on a small boat, eventually washing up in the Era region.
Valeria was only three years old when this happened, so she barely remembers life from before she began living in the noticeably midieval region. She and her family adapted to their new lives, though it took her parents a while. Over all, her childhood was a fairly happy one. She grew up to be a bit of a tomboy, but wasn't much of a trouble maker. She did get into a few fights, but either someone else started it, or she was defending someone else...she rarely started one, and when she did, it was always for a good reason. Her father, however, had grown tired of the life they were living, and left the house when she was seven without so much as a goodbye. No one knows why he left or where he went, or if he's even alive anymore. Just that he was gone.
Valeria spent a good portion of her time helping her mother around the house. Since her mother's health was fairly frail, she was left with most of the hard work, but she didn't mind. One day, she met and befriended a Cyndaquil. The two of them became inseperable partners, and, between chores, she would take the time to train it. She even managed to capture a Rhyhorn, though it was through dumb luck. Between helping her mother and training these two Pokemon, she became fairly independant, but nothing could have prepared her for her mother's sudden death when she turned fifteen. Regardless, she pressed on, though her luck seemed to worsen. Her beloved Typhlosion, who had given birth to a daughter with Valeria's Rhyperior as the father, was caught in the crossfire of a battle between two rival gangs, having not realized a battle was about to start until it was too late. The injuries proved too much, and she died.
Since then, Valeria has wandered the region, with her Rhyperior, his daughter, and a recently captured Scyther at her side. Having seen countless battles and much pointless bloodshed, she came to a decision. She was going to remain neutral, and work only for whoever provides the best offer. The only acception is if the client is purely evil and/or has evil intentions. As such, she mostly took jobs acting as a bodyguard or an escort. She would occasionally join an army or a gang, but would rare stay for very long if they showed any sign of corruption. To this day, she continues to wander the land, helping those in need and stomping anyone who takes advantage of the weak and helpless
RP Sample
Valeria smirked as her Rhyperior was hit with the Psybeam, as he simply stood there and endured the attack. His strength was running low, but he wasn't about to go down any time soon. With a nod, the trainer spoke in a calm voice "Alright, Rhyperior, let's finish this with Rock Wrecker." The Rhyperior immediately extended both of his arms, his fingers stretched out. From the large hold in his palm, a countless number of stones came out, forming one large stone about the size of a large beach ball. This mass of stone was was then fired at a blinding speed toward the Alakazam, shattering as it made contact, and pummeling the Psychic-type with a relentless blast of stone shrapnel. Grinning as he watched the opponent fall, her Rhyperior gave out a loud, very proud roar. Valeria smiled at this, then looked to her opponent, who was still stunned by the defeat. "That's what you get for trying to mug someone without making sure they're not stronger than you." Shouting all sorts of obscenities and threats about how he'll get his revenge, the trainer returned his fallen Alakazam and ran off. Lucia sighs "...I need a drink..."
