Valka Reeves

Valka Emluzza Reeves (Euluska: Valka m'Luzzë Röus) was the Sheriff of Jarren's Well from the 240s C to 252 C. She was the daughter of the infamous noblewoman and CEO, Lucrezzia Reeves.
== Life ==
Valka was born in 220 C to Lucrezzia Reeves and a now-unknown deceased rich Vortai father, who was a merchant. Her father was killed by pirates at some point during her teens. She received a good upbringing in Datria and had a decent relationship with her mother, though, and trained with the Halcyon Guardia after being sent there for military school. In the early 240s, she served as deputy of Jarren's Well, and become the Sheriff of the town a few years later with a stellar record. She was known to carry a singular silver-plated Athalanta Peacekeeper revolver with a lengthened barrel and a maplewood handle, and she was known to be firm but fair.
=== 250s C ===
In summer 251 C, Valka arrested a petty-thief named Beren, as well as a tax-dodger named Felizziya. A fledgling condottieri group called the Wildecards arrived in town, seeking to free Felizziya from her bonds at the behest of their friend, Lavina. The Wildecards socially engineered (Erros and Olphira pretended to be preachers) and ambushed Valka and six deputies at the bridge over the Low Falls in the woods outside town. Four deputies were killed, two were injured, and Valka suffered a series of grievous lacerations to the face from Olphira's entrenching tool. The group freed the prisoners and left, although Copper left Valka with a tip-off as to the location of the local Bakers criminal hideout. The ensuing day after surviving her wounds, Valka called in the Halcyon Jackboots, but the Wildecards were long gone. The law raided the Bakers' hideout, arresting about twenty individuals (including Fat Ernie, who was thrown into Accipiter Lariat House jail, and would later join the Wildecards in a year's time). 
Valka continued policing, but due to the nasty wounds she had sustained, she put herself in more of an administrative position. Her mother funded bounty hunters to apprehend and arrest the Wildecards a few weeks later, throwing them in Accipiter jail. One of the arresters, a Wildegard rider named Silvia d'Abavël, showed her prowess well. Silvia was appointed to assist Valka at Jarren's Well, and took over the Sheriff's badge from her. Valka was quite happy about this, because her wounds had somewhat crippled her, leaving her blind in one eye and needing a cane. 
In winter 252 C, the Winter Revolution broke out, and Halcyon soon became a self-declared independent and insular communist republic. Jarren's Well was too far outside the city to be effectively part of the communist utopia, so it was left to fend for itself, as were many other nearby outlying towns like Shrike's Roost. The town became a brief haven for monarchists fleeing the six week civil war that the communists won.
Valka remained an administrator of the town's law, but her injuries had weakened her singificantly.
