Valivia (AKA Lamia GF)

### Introduction

*Tiberia Cardinalis Roberia Mater Valivia Claudives,* know simply by family as "Valivia" is the recently inaugurated Media Mater (butchered Latin for 'Middle Mother') of her tribe's Triumvirate (aka the Tri-Matriarchy). She is the mother to Noodle and sister to Claudinia - all of whom belong to the *Cardinalis* family. She is a Piedmont Lamia.

### Early Life

Valivia grew up in the Cherrywine Forest in the North of Devil's Island to a middling family with assets stemming from the breeding and selling of giant moles, a standard food animal for lamia. She was exceptionally skilled and passed the trials and tribulations known to be required of any female lamia hoping to become one of the three tribe leaders.

### Humans

Valivia was rescued by the human listener while being chased by a different human hunter. The two eventually fell in love, with Valivia living on the fringes of a human village to be with the listener - the village having a "kill on sight" policy for lamia. We are first introduced to Valivia in "Comforting Your Lamia GF" where she reveals to the listener that she is heavily pregnant with their baby. Human-Lamia mixed children are rare and are seldom accepted by either culture. After trying to break up with the listener, but finding them willing to try to make a life on the fringes of both societies, the couple decided to stay together with their soon-to-be born daughter, Juno, aka Noodle.

### Lamia

In 'Noticing Something Is Off With Your Lamia GF', the human listener is tricked into following another lamia pretending to Valivia, later to revealed to be her younger sister, Claudinia. Claudina attempts to eat the listener, assuming that they had poached her sister. She is stopped when Valivia finds them and throws herself between her sister and her mate. This is also the first time that Dumplin the nanny dog was featured.

Later, in 'Meeting Your Lamia Baby Mama's Family', the listener joins Valivia, Noodle, and Dumplin in living secretly with their lamia in-laws. Despite these terrible beginnings, Valivia's family accepts her mate and Noodle, even hiding the listener or lying about Noodle's "different" appearance. It is revealed that Valivia was elected as the "middle mother" of her tribe's matriarchal Triumvirate in her absence. She takes this position despite having a mate born of the enemy.

In 'Sneaking Into Your Lamia GF's Big Day' , Valivia is named *Media Mater* and given the Sword, the Shield, and the Flytrap Wreath - signifying her status within the tribe. She returns home and celebrates her achievements with the listener.

### The Battle of the Sound - Berea Sound in Piedmont Region

In Your Lamia GF Fights Against Your Kin, Valivia leads an interregional lamia force to stop the human force pushing the lamia out of the Brightleaf Valley. The battle was won thanks to the human's repeated use of heavy infantry over having any fashion of a comparable calvalry. She made sure that Claudinia brought Noodle and Dumplin to watch the foolishness of both humans and lamia - all over one loose giant mole.

It is also established that Valivia went to the battle "bare-breasted" - meaning that had certainty in victory.

It is also established that Valivia has a pet Lithobate.

In 'She said YES to SOMEBODY ELSE! ,'Valiva agreed to marry the mountain lamia, Queen Augustina of the House of the Rising Sun (a name Valivia finds cheesy). Her and the listener get in a fight before Augustina insists on Valivia joining her on a very public "slither" around town.
