Valentine Bloome

Valentine Bloome was a sim created by one of Clare's fans, Zoe Melissa, and was a friend to Chase Collins and Willow Collins, as well as also a love interest to Willow and Reuben Fisher. In episode 3 of Rags to Riches, he had asked Willow out on a date and she eventually moved on from Valentine.

## Teen Days

Valentine was introduced in episode 52 of In the Suburbs when he met Chase Collins whilst at school. Valentine came around to Chase's house, The Summer Home, where Valentine met Chase's twin sister Willow. Chase and Valentine spent time modelling together and Valentine seemed to be interested in Willow.

## Adulthood

Valentine aged up off-screen between episodes 52 and 53 of In the Suburbs and was seen via messages where he texted Chase to see if he wanted to hang out, but Chase said no as he was heading to work. Willow finally had the courage to flirt with Valentine but even though he flirted back to her, he was more interested in Reuben.

Willow invited her brother Chase and Valentine to her house in StrangerVille where Valentine started to flirt with Willow again even though she had finally started to get over him and even though it seemed like Valentine was seeing her cousin Reuben, Valentine asked Willow on a date.

Valentine went on the date with Willow when she agreed to go on it and the two of them went bowling together.

Val eventually moved in with Chase after Charlie Rose and Asher died, since Chase was feeling lonely in such a big house. Val got jealous after Chase was seen with Robyn Smith at the Summer House, as Val had feelings for Chase and Chase liked Robyn.

In Clare's catch up video, it was revealed that Val had ended things with Rue and was planning a child via surrogate with Chase. In episode 15 of Rags to Riches, during Winterfest, Val told Willow that he and Chase were going to have a baby.

The child was revealed to be a girl named Zoë-Rose and took Val's last name, Bloome. It is implied that, with help from Cody, she shares both Valentine and Chase's DNA.

## A little Bit Older, A Little Bit Wiser

Val aged up into an elder around the same time as Chase. They reached elderhood by the time Zoe-Rose became a young adult and they welcomed Alice to live with them after learning she was homeless after the loss of Nathan and Bella. Val (and Chase) attended her first college (Brichester) graduation during her episode of My Story. Val and Chase were then seen at the end of the episode when they both wished Zoe-Rose and Alice good luck with Foxberry college after leaning that Zoe-Rose wanted to go back to university and study something else.

Valentine died offscreen in episode 7 of Eco Lifestyle, on the same day as Chase.
