Valentina Rivera

Valentina was simply created to round out the Keepers team. She had nothing interesting about her except her powers until I started creating families for everyone. With the addition of Avery, Valentina suddenly became a complex and intriguing character. Between her distrust of Aderyn and Cedric and her conflict with Maya over both of their sister-like relationships with Hawthorne, Valentina keeps things interesting. Bored with Ryn and Cedric's plotline? Valentina has some drama. Don't want to write Nikolai and Mirai? Valentina can stir up some trouble and/or angst. I love her so much.

## Appearance

### Simple Appearance

Valentina is tall and poised. She has loosely curled medium dark brown hair and dark hazel eyes. Her skin has a deep tan to it.

### Detailed Appearance

Valentina Rivera is fairly tall, standing at 5’ 6” with long legs and a well-proportioned figure. Her hair is a rich, medium dark brown color, with loose, soft curls that fall about six inches above her waist. She has striking dark hazel eyes that seem to shift color in different lighting and her eyelashes are long and thick. She has an oval-shaped face with well-defined cheekbones. Her skin is a deep tan, a result of her Hispanic heritage. It has a warm undertone to it and she usually doesn’t struggle with keeping her skin clear. Like most of the Keepers, she works hard to maintain an athletic and toned physique. She has an elegant figure, with a defined waist and a slight curve at the hips. She moves with impeccable posture and poise. She keeps her hair in a ponytail or bun most of the time, a practical choice for someone with as active a lifestyle as she does, and she prefers to wear a simple pair of gold hoop earrings. She has a small gold star necklace that she sometimes wears, a souvenir from a trip to Mexico and a tribute to her love of the stars.
