**Valerie Gray** is a female Human from Dimension N-004. She was a former popular student at Casper High, a ghost hunter, and the arch-rival of Danny Phantom. She was determined to destroy all ghosts until after she abandoned all that when he helped save the world. But in the aftermath of the Disasteroid she would be abducted by Van Kleiss and taken to Dimension GF-007, where she would be brainwashed into one of Van Kleiss warriors.

## Appearance

Valerie is a 14 year-old African-American girl, with long, curly hair and hunter green eyes. She seems to be a little thick, although she looks slimmer when she's wearing her red and black ghost-hunting suit. When not using her suit, she usually wears a yellow camisole and orange skirt with white tennis shoes.

She also wears an orange headband, golden earrings, an orange necklace, and has two bracelets on each wrist, one golden and the other orange. She has also been seen in a violet babydoll tee in

## Personality

Initially, she was cruel, selfish, and mean-spirited like her popular friends. In "Reign Storm," she's confused for a while about why Sam and Tucker treat her uneasily, but then they remind her that she used to treat them terribly.

However, her descent into unpopularity begins to change her into a nicer, less egotistical person to the people around her, making new, better friends while looking upon her former "friends" with disdain and disgust.

She also becomes more compassionate and caring, going from just wanting to get revenge on ghosts like Danny Phantom to endangering herself to protect Amity Park from ghost attacks.

Valerie is extremely stubborn and hot-tempered, as well as very persistent and dangerous. Not even her dad can stop her dedication to hunting ghosts. If necessary, she manipulates people if it's required or it's helpful, like taking advantage of Tucker knowing ghost hunters and Dani having connections with Danny.

Her anger is also something to be feared, like getting revenge on Danny ruining her new shirt by sending Kwan out to hurt him in "Shades of Gray." She holds strong grudges, too, as she has never forgiven Danny Phantom for ruining her life. As time goes by, though, Valerie becomes better at suppressing her fiery emotions, especially when she has to team up with her least favorite ghost or makes occasional truces with him.

Danny and his friends might see her as a foe, but Valerie thinks of herself as the hero, even though she's normally an anti-hero. Valerie truly means well and is positive that Danny and all ghosts are evil, so her hatred motivates her to hunt them down.

Although more fierce and harsh in the way she treats enemies than Danny, she does have the right intentions of saving everyone from harm. Sometimes, her firm stance in her beliefs gets shaken up.

She strongly trusts that Vlad isn't a ghost or a bad guy, but when she finds out the truth, she is shocked and immediately decides that she'll get him back for his deceit.

While certain that torturing humans is wrong, she struggles over whether letting a half-human/half-ghost be killed is morally right, only finally agreeing to it after Danny persuades her. Valerie isn't completely aware about many things concerning ghosts, yet she is sure that it's her duty to ward them off from innocent people, like her father and her crush, Danny.

## Biography

### Ghost Hunting

Though she only appeared and talks for a few seconds, accepting Tucker's invitation to the dance because her boyfriend decided to go with a different girl. Later, it's implied that Tucker, overshadowed by Danny, breaks off their plans so that he can take Sam to the dance.

Valerie Gray was once a rich, popular girl at Casper High until the appearance of a huge ghost dog at Axion, a large laboratory facility where her father worked.

Danny tries to catch the dog, but the two of them cause so much ruckus and damage, that her father, Damon Gray, loses his job. Due to his job loss, she and her father have little money, are forced to move into a run down apartment, and thus her popularity status from the "in-crowd" plummets. Valerie blames her misfortunes on Danny Phantom, thus dedicating herself to hunting ghosts for the rest of her life.

Unbeknownst to her, Vlad Plasmius takes advantage of her grudge and has secretly supplied her with various ghost-hunting weaponry, helping her to fight Danny and allowing Vlad to spy on Danny in secret for his own plans.

Late to school after fighting each other in their alter-egos, Danny and Valerie are forced to become "parents" of a sack of flour for a one-week school assignment. At the same time, Skulker, ghost hunter extraordinaire, decides to pit Danny Phantom and Valerie against each other in a contest, the winner earning the privilege of becoming his prey.

Valerie is busy with two jobs, and forces a partially-unknowing Danny to have the sack for most of the time, much to Danny's chagrin. Finally pushed to the edge of frustration, Danny gives Valerie the sack, complaining that she needs to do some work.

After several failed attempts to make the two fight, Skulker realizes that both Danny and Valerie consider the flour sack as very valuable, and in one last resort he kidnaps the sack and frames Danny of stealing it with the hopes of at last, finding the winner.

However, things do not go his way, and in the end he decides to capture both Danny and Valerie in the Ghost Zone to be his prey. After getting through booby traps and escaping Skulker's Island, the two eventually figure out how to work together and finally manage to defeat Skulker together.

Later, Danny apologizes to Valerie, and they are able to get a C for their somewhat destroyed sack. In this episode, it is revealed that Valerie works at the Nasty Burger as the mascot of the restaurant to make extra money for college.

Valerie gains a friendship with Danny, which develops into having a crush on him. Vlad pulls her to the side and reveals that he is the one who has been giving her the ghost hunting equipment.

Courageously, she tries to fight against Pariah Dark's army to save Danny and Vlad. She also attempts to fight Pariah Dark himself with the ecto-skeleton, but Danny stops her by revealing her secret identity to her father.

At the end, Valerie lets Sam know that Sam better make her move on Danny, or else she would.

In an alternate future, Valerie's future self has become Amity Park's defender. When Dark Danny broke Amity Park's enhanced Ghost Shield, she tried to hunt him, but he easily sent her away.

Though present Danny was able to prevent her from hitting the wall, she then fell to the ground. Before she became unconscious, she explains she almost forgot how cute young Danny was. Fortunately, that future was prevented thanks to the work of Danny and Clockwork. Valerie and Danny date for a brief period of time, neither knowing Technus is the one pushing the two together while he goes about his plans for world domination.

In one instance, Technus attacks Danny with Valerie's old suit, but when Danny destroys it, Valerie thinks he was trying to kill her, making her vow to stop Danny Phantom stronger. Before Technus hooks up with a satellite in space, he upgrades Valerie's suit, giving her an advanced red and black-striped one, and the power to instantly change in and out of it at will.

This was meant to further distract Danny from his own dastardly plans, as she was now even more dangerous to Danny Phantom then she was before. After Technus's defeat, Valerie lets Danny know that she didn't know she was ready to start a deeper relationship with him, breaking both of their hearts.

### Future Event

sometime possibly after Valerie was freed from Van Kleiss’s control, fully aware of the threat the Grimm pose and possibly the future where Danny became the Phantom King, before she was returned to the exact point after the Disasteroid passed through her Earth, found by her father and desperate to warn Danny but was too late when the Grimm followed her through the rift from GF-007 to begin the invasion by the Fallen,

## Powers and Abilities

As a normal human being, she has no superhuman powers at all, but she does have several skills and weapons she uses to hunt ghosts.

* She is a 9th-degree black belt.
* She has proven to be capable to fight ghosts like the Fright Knight and Vlad Plasmius, using her suit and her fighting skills, and even Vlad himself stated that "she really is good at this" when she fought the Fright Knight. She was also seen fighting her own ghost hunting gear when it was manipulated by Technus.
* After she decides to become a ghost hunter, she begins to exercise intensively, and becomes very athletic. She motivates herself during exercise with her hatred towards ghosts.

### After Van Kleiss Upgrade

After abducting Valerie and brainwashing he would enhance her using a combination of his nanites, the technology Valerie already had in her possession courtesy of her battlesuit and it's creator Technus, and finally AI technology secured from Project Freelancer from another dimension.

## Equipment

As a ghost hunter, she has a wide array of ghost hunting gear. Later on, she added a red ghost-hunting suit with a silver flying board, made by Plasmius, with a wide array of ecto-guns. This suit was eventually destroyed by Danny. At some point, Technus made her a new, stronger suit, which was a black-and-red armored suit with much more firepower.

## Relationships

### Family

**Damon Gray -** As her father and only parent, Damon was strict but very caring towards Valerie. He was sorry that their living conditions have gotten worse but is determined to help his daughter. In turn, Valerie loves her father and worries for his safety.

She also understands that he would not approve of her hunting ghosts so she hid her secret to ensure he would not worry. However, Danny reveals her secret to Damon in during the raise of Pariah Dark which causes Damon to worry over her safety after fighting ghosts. Afterwards, he firmly restricts her access to her weapons, becoming annoyed when she uses them. Overall, the two have a tight, trusting bond (and no longer hide secrets from each other). Following her disappearance Damon would not only become desperate to find her, but would blame Danny Phantom and Ghosts as the main cause of her disappearance.
