She is outgoing and confident, and a staunch recruiter of the Ordo-Dracul, she values knowledge and the ability to express her true opinions above all.

#### Mortal World

Countess Valentina was born into the French aristocracy in 1640. As a young woman, she entered a romantic relationship with the rebellious Luce, a vampire who fancied Valentina for her ambitious thinking. Unfortunately, the two lovers parted when Valentina was married off at her father's behest. By the time they met again, Valentina was grappling with an unhappy marriage and a loss of her greater dreams. She found refuge from her shortcomings in their affair. As nobility often are, Countess Valentina was kidnapped, when her husband failed to pay forth the ransom she tragically died. Luce did come to her rescue, though too late. In a desperate attempt to save her lover, Luce turned the newly slain Valentina and the Countess awoke against all odds. How changed and non-human, the two flee France and seek haven in Luce's homeland of Italy to begin a new un-life. (Written by Belinda)
