## Appearances

### "Hollow Crown"

Valencia Vixen made her debut appearance in the 2020 Christmas Special "Hollow Crown." In a flashback scene to Christmas Eve 684, Valencia and her older sisters, Valda and Vora, tried on a series of holiday gowns and danced around an empty area of the Rook of Vulpus. They were caught and scolded by their mother, Vixen VI. Valencia later attended the funeral of her mother in 692, whereby her sister ascended to the throne as Vixen VII.

### *War*

Valencia returned in "Winter of Discontent" shortly after the outbreak of war in 708. She met with her sister, Vixen VII, to discuss the conflict. She and the Vixen Queen both conspired to have Victoria Vixen murdered, Mallardia blamed, and the assassin killed. In doing so, Valencia found herself next-in-line to the throne as heir presumptive. Both Valda and Valencia now hate their third sister, Vora Vixen, who was said to have died in a house fire years prior.

In "The Lamps Are Going Out," the Vixen Queen gave birth to Violetta Vixen, displacing Valencia in the line of succession. In February 709, the Vixen Queen abolished the Harmony Crown, causing a slew of nations to rush into the conflict. The Queen stashed away the Harmony Crown to be destroyed later, but when Valencia went to find it, the Crown had vanished.

In "Fall as Lucifer Fell" in 711, Valencia saw her sister's desperation to end the war and cut off the head of the snake in Bentley Connelly. Valencia suggested sending a message that co-conspirators in Victoria Vixen's assassination resided in Canis. The Vixen Queen did this, prompting Bentley to launch a covert investigation.

By 719, Valencia's daughter Vanna Vixen had birthed two sons. The fear that Vanna could give birth to a female and become a threat to the throne led the Vixen Queen to keep an eye on the pair. The Queen's suspicions were well placed, as it was revealed in "Pro Patria Mori" that Valencia had been scheming for years to place Vanna on the throne over Violetta Vixen, though these machinations would not be realized until the Vixen Queen's death.

On November 11, 725, in "Bless My Homeland," the Vulpus Dam was destroyed by a group of royals and loyalists escaping Cartonia. Valencia's sister, Vixen VII, had gone to the Dam to thwart what was suspected to be an internal act of sabotage. She died in the Dam's collapse. Valencia was present in the Rook of Vulpus when Violetta Vixen was proclaimed as the next Vixen Queen. This would set in motion Valencia's plan to place Vanna Vixen on the throne over Violetta.

Violetta developed a mysterious illness in early 726 and died. Vanna succeeded Violetta over Valencia by royal proclamation. Vanna ruled as Vixen IX for 50 years. During her reign, Valencia oversaw reconstruction of the Vulpus Dam ("Epilogue").
