## Characteristics

### Personality

Valka is generally friendly, and open about her opinions. She is very family oriented, and brings up her uncle often.

### Mindset

Valka has a strong sense of justice, and believes that the scales always eventually balance.

Often she "spins her wheels" and debates a lot before committing to a path, but once her mind is made up, few things can change her stubborn mind.

### Fighting Style

Valka has shown to be indecisive in early combat about whether to be aggressive toward enemies, or protective of her party members.

Much of how she fights depends heavily on the positioning of her allies.

## Story

### Previous Life

In her previous life, Valka apprenticed under her Uncle Volynian as a mage hunter in the family business. One of those missions led to her untimely demise in an accident while attempting to counteract the enchantment on a magical explosive.

This accident led to her Convergence.

### Awakening Arc

Valka awoke in a new (much beefier) body covered in scars and warpaint. She joined up with fellow vessels of their Doomed Company.

The group followed clues leading them to the headquarters of the Annointed, a militant company which physically supports one of the City States of Conflux.

After learning of internal political issues within the Annointed, Valka and co. traveled to investigate a disturbance that might give evidence useful to approaching the political turmoil.

Sadly, before finding much conclusive evidence, the party stumbled across a force of Silent. Caught out of position, the Doomed Company panicked and fought. Unfortunately, due to their very recent meeting, and lack of communication or strategy, the party was slaughtered and left to rot on the road.

### Corruption Arc

Later, Valka awoke in an operating room, riddled with needles and terrible contraptions, and looked over by a dark robed figure in a plague mask.

After a painful and horrible operation, Valka was brought back to the land of the living, corrupted by Daemon forces, body, mind and soul.

Vestigial leathery wings sprout from her lower back as a corruption of the body, Coulrophantania (the Clown Curse) tainted her mind, and the Brand of the Eye of Contempt tethered her soul to the Daemon, tying her and the other members of the party (also collected and resurrected each with their own corruptions) to the Eye's fate.

Now she serves the Eye of Contempt, hoping to one day find a way to break her curses, or in the more likely event of that being impossible, to bring justice to any who had the opportunity to destroy her new master but chose to do otherwise.

She hates her current situation. The future will tell if she retains her good natured spirit, or walks down a darker path.
