## Description

Valeria 'Val' Morelli is an Italian immigrant. She moved from Italy when she was 3 with her two older brothers. Later in life she moved to Los Santos to start something new.

## Appearance

Valeria is a 24 year old Italian immigrant. She has the classic Italian facial structure with a roman nose and high cheek bones. She has long brown hair that falls to her midback in soft waves that she frequently wears in a long braid. She has long curtain bangs that frame her face and draw attention to her bright blue eyes. When she tries to wear her hair up, the bangs are too short and fall loose around her face.

She has a toned physicque from previously being a mechanic as well as her other outdoor hobbies. Her skin is slightly tanned from being under the Los Santos sun and she has a tattoo sleeve with roses and skulls on her right arm.

## Personality

Valeria has been described as, spicy, and feisty, much to her protest. She's incredibly kind and sweet to strangers and new people she meets. As time progresses though and a friendship develops and blossoms she starts to become more sassy and sarcastic. She tests boundaries and finds limits to ensure she never oversteps or upsets her friends. She enjoys light hearted jests but is quick to shut down any jokes with real harm. Despite her love of teasing she's unbelievably loyal and will do anything for her friends. She can be a bit hot-headed though and is quick to enforce her own boundaries. Sometimes Valeria can have a short fuse and little patience but she does her best to be fair and listen to everyone and take their opinions and thoughts into account.

## **Background**

Valeria Morelli was born into an Italian family that immigrated when she was 3 years old to the U.S. She’s the youngest of three, with two older brothers who would do anything for their baby sister. Her parents refused to speak to her and her brothers in anything other than Italian to make sure they learned the language. The three maintained their fluency through adulthood.

As children, the three spent their time getting in and out of trouble as a team. As the youngest, and only girl of the trio, she was the distraction when they got into shenanigans. In the beginning she was the young girl asking for help, with big blue eyes on the verge of tears and a trembling lip begging for help finding her parents. All the while, behind the back of a friendly store attendant, her older brothers slipped merchandise off shelves and into their bags. As they got older, her role began to change from innocent young girl missing her parents, to the pretty girl flirting with an unsuspecting victim. She would bat her lashes and flash her pretty smile while her brothers took the poor fool’s wallet. She learned to be a master manipulator so her and her brothers could easily manage their schemes and get out of any trouble. If someone were to begin to catch on, Valeria would soothe their worries with an understanding voice and sweet smile all while her brother slipped away. Sometimes though, this wouldn’t be enough and she would feign a fall into the person’s arms and ramble apologies about her clumsiness to distract them.

They were rarely caught, but when they were, the trio hightailed it out of there. They liked to spend time together doing parkour through the city streets. They had been doing it for years, so when they got into trouble they could disappear into the rooftops together. Valeria personally enjoyed the acrobatics side of parkour and wanted to take gymnastics classes. Instead, she took up Xtreme Martial Arts (XMA) at 13 due to pressure from her brothers to learn how to defend herself. XMA is a martial arts fighting style created with gymnastics in mind. The moves are acrobatic and beautiful and can still be used to defend oneself. She studied and practiced, and learned for years until she had mostly mastered the fighting style. Valeria enjoyed showing off while they fled from any trouble with fancy flips and moves across rooftops. Running so high up and jumping from roof to roof was freeing for her. The risk and the trust she had in herself was exhilarating and she enjoyed upping the stakes by doing flips and such.

As time progressed though, the schemes happened less and less, the three got busy, especially Valeria. Once she began university she hardly had time to assist her brothers while she studied. She was top of her class and graduated two years early due to extensive studying and the neglect of a personal life. After her graduation she decided to move to the city of Los Santos for a fresh start.
