**Liza Lisichka**, or better known as **Valentine** is a main character, party member, and shopkeeper of Play Rough.

## Appearance

Valentine is a cartoon character of an anthropomorphic red fox wearing a black suit, red bow tie and no shoes.

## Personality

Valentine is a pretty chipper character, always shown with a smile on her face.

## In Battle & Moveset

Valentine is only used in one battle, that being the final one against Captain Mayflower and his subordinates. This is the only battle that she can be used in, since after the Captain is defeated, all hidden bosses can no longer be fought.

Valentine is by far the simplest party member, having only four moves, two of which uses TP. Her basic attack, Smash, does decent damage and is her go-to damage dealing move when she doesn't need to build up TP anymore. Value Dance restores 5 more TP than Smash and recovers a little bit of her HP, but makes her a higher priority target. Peel Out hits everybody and can cause Off-Kilter, but does little damage, though the most useful aspect from this move is the TP gained, since if Valentine manages to hit all three enemies, she would gain only 1 less TP than Value Dance without the risk of a doubled target rate. Finally, Cream Pie has a chance to Blind enemies, making them miss more of their attacks. This move is worth building up early in the fight to debilitate one enemy so that Beau and Dr. Woland can deal with the other two much easier.

Valentine's biggest drawback is that she has the lowest amount of HP pool compared to Beau or Dr. Woland, and her only HP recovering skill makes her a higher priority target, making her rely mostly on HP recovering items to heal.

Valentine's Moveset
- Standard damaging move. Valentine smashes the enemy with her mallet and gains 5 TP.
- Valentine dances, recovering 15% of her HP and gaining 10 TP. It inflicts her with the Taunt status effect which doubles her target rate.
- Valentine slips on a banana peel and hits every enemy, gaining 3 TP for each enemy hit and has a 25% chance to inflict Off-kilter.
- Valentine tosses a pie at the enemy and inflicts Blind, which reduces hit rate by 50%.

## Trivia

* Valentine is the only character whose biography lists her birthdate as "drawndate" since she's a cartoon.
* Valentine is the only party member with a complete default equipment.
* The capitalized words in her battle quotes may be a reference to her animation studio burning down, an event that changed her life for the better.
* The game's trailer states that the game takes place in the year 2121. In the game's GameJolt page, it's shown that Valentine was drawn in the year 1969. This would mean that Valentine is 151-152 years old, since it's unknown whether or not Valentine's drawnday had happened.
* The theme for her shop, **HOT HOT DEALS**, is used in the game's trailer.
