Val Caso

Val the Friendly Ghost

The Ghost of Lawrence

**Valeria Itzel Caso**is a ghost bound to the Silas University Campus. She is currently a freshman and has yet to pick a major. She resides in Dorm Lawrence with her roommate, Ivy Moore.

## **Personality**

Val is incredibly curious and quick to make friends, but her memory limit of a year and a day makes long-lasting relationships difficult. She has been known to try playing matchmaker as well, usually only succeeding in ramping up the awkwardness in the relationship.

With all her energy and friendliness Val hides a constant depression tied to her lack of memory & identity, coupled with the wanderlust she's incapable of indulging in. She has recently been seen several times trying desperately to access Silas University student records and has spent the better part of the day following her unsuccessful attempts wandering aimlessly near the edges of campus, crying.

## **History**

### **Life & Death**

Val has been searching for information on who she was in life and the circumstances of her death to no success.

### **Haunting Silas**

The first reliable reports of Val haunting the Silas Campus are from the spring of 1968, mostly in the form of maintenance requests to refresh the wards around classrooms and auditoriums due to students attempting to use her as their interview subject in Metaphysical Studies classes. She wandered the school grounds without any sort of name until 1969, being referred to only as "the forgetful ghost" due to the fact that her memory seemed only to stretch back a year and a day. How she came to know her name is still unknown, but nevertheless it seemed that it would become one of the few things she would not forget.

During the late 70's Val began taking an interest in many of the students, following them around and developing a strange, banshee-like attachement to them. There are several instances of the students she became close to suffering personal tragedy, heartbreak, injury or even death, leading many to ignore or even avoid her for over a decade.

There are months at a time that Val has disappeared from record or student accounts, each time returning with absolutely no memory of the lost time. Throughout the years students who attempted to make friends with her learned that with few exceptions she always seemed more peaceful and friendly after each disappearance. One such exception occurred in the summer of 1999, immediately following one of her absent periods: the total destruction of the Silas University Observatory. Firsthand accounts place her in the center of the wreckage, reportedly displaying several uncharacteristic signs of violence, psychokinesis, pyrokinesis, and weather control. She then went missing for 13 days following the event, showing no sign of recognition or awareness of the incident on her return. As of the observatory's rebuilding she seems to avoid the area, although it doesn't seem to be a conscious decision.

### **Present Day**

Val is currently attending Silas University (major undecided) using the body of a recently deceased student, under scholarship from Professor Acacia Song. She has been attending multiple classes with her friend Scribbles the demon and human roommate Ivy Moore, having seemingly little trouble juggling all of the homeworks (albeit at the cost of a proper diet and sleep schedule, which several individuals have begun trying to convince her to improve).

Val seems rather content and happy with her current situation but has expressed confusion at several echoing memories and abilities left behind in her body, including the ability to play guitar and a rough grasp of basic cooking skills.

## **Videos**

Val is played by **Eva** (sapphiccutie on tiktok). The first video featuring Val Caso was posted on the 20th of October, 2019.

## **Trivia**

* Val's favorite food is chicken nuggets, and her favorite drink is chocolate milk (hot chocolate if she can get it). Those are in fact the only two things stocked on her side of the fridge in her and Ivy's dorm that aren't leftovers.
* In a deleted video Val says that people see her ghostly form differently than she sees herself, specifically mentioning that they don't see her weird hair color.
* Val is easily spooked, and on more than one occasion has screamed when catching her reflection out of the corner of her eye.
