Valerie Oberlin

## Valerie

**Valerie Oberlin**, otherwise known as the Shopkeeper, is an NPC that the player character can buy items from via the Spooky High shop. These items increase player stats, as well as unlock secret events and endings, and are unlocked as one progresses through the game.

Valerie can be found during a turn in a random location on all days, except for the first and last days. Alternatively, you can also sit with Valerie at noon and access her shop from there.

She is voiced by Erika Ishii (@erikaishii).

## Appearance

Valerie is a cat-like monster that sports grunge or punk style clothing. She wears a total of three spiked collars: one on her neck, one on her wrist, and the last on her tail. She wears ripped black jeans and has a denim jacket over a white shirt. The white shirt has a skull graphic on it. She also has pink hair, half-shaved on the right side of her head.

## Personality

Given that she is a shopkeeper, Valerie appears to be passionate about what she sells. Although she seems to only care about the currency and not so much about what she is selling, she does offer certain warnings about the item that the player is buying from her, albeit with a nonchalant attitude.

Outside of her business, Valerie is seen as a laid-back, mellow, and cool yet sassy girl. She is quite protective over her family, seeing as how she lashed out against The Coven when they insulted Vera, who is her adopted sister.
