## Biography

##### Early Childhood

Not much is known about Valentine’s early childhood. She grew up in a village with a negligent father, and believed herself to be human girl. Her relationship with her mother, or any other possible family, is unknown.

##### Time in the Feywild

At some point in her adolescence, Valentine became aware she was a changeling and ran away from home. By unknown means she spent time in the Winter Court, where she took the persona of Chérie and began learning magic. It was here that she also grew interested in Chronurgy as her main field of study. She learned of the time dilation in the Feywilds when she met a much older version of the human girl she took the place of.

She left the Feywilds in her late teens. For an unknown reason she earned the ire of the King of the Winter Court, Oberon.

##### Early Adulthood

After leaving the Feywilds she began studying at the Bibliothéque D’Histoire Commune in Bourden to become a scribe and librarian. She also continued to study magic and grew her understanding of Chronurgy and time theory.

During this time, she studied under Head Librarian Maze, and quickly befriended her star pupil. The two became close friends and spent much of their time developing their magical skills together. When this student disappeared without a trace, she threw herself into searching for him with Maze, but neither were able to make any headway, which eventually caused their relationship to deteriorate.

##### Present

In order to continue studying under Maze and continue her search for the missing student, she took on the persona of Valentine Toussaint. Eventually, she was sent to Western Trioque to scout for possible books, items, or histories to expand the library of the D’Histoire. In actuality, her mision was to search for the missing student and any hints on where he may have gone.

While on her journey, she met Voyager and Leech, and the two agreed to travel together. Eventually, they met the trio of Dorian, Marigold, and Floralis, and joined forces to save the goblin oracle Osnat from a mad necromancer. With Osnat’s assistant, Amos, they formed the Sun Eaters and left on a quest to rescue the stars.

## Personality

She is an intelligent young wizard, who is confident in her intelligence and abilities. She is extremely focused when she has a goal and is good at directing her attention and actions towards completing her goals.

This often manifests towards her personal gain, and she can be a tad selfish with what goals and tasks she attempts to direct the group towards. She has no qualms with lying and keeping secrets; both her own secrets and secrets for groups she’s affiliated with.

She is very passionate about her beliefs and goals, and can be very situationally argumentative. A common trigger for this anger are discussions or questions into her past. She holds her past close to her chest, and would prefer to use her persona’s fake backgrounds.

Despite her secretive nature, she is extremely loyal to the few individuals she calls her friends. She cares a lot about their emotional state, and tends to fret over them. She only has a handful of friends, as she has spent most of her life treating socializing as a transaction. This makes it very hard for her to be vulnerable and form genuine connections. It also means she is easily misunderstood, and people tend to assume the worst of her.

## Aliases

##### Valentine Toussaint

Valentine’s current main persona, and the one she is in most often around the group. Valentine is a short drow/fire genasi who dresses in a circus inspired aesthetic. Her familiar is an owl named Amelie.

Valentine’s backstory is that she is a humble student of the D’Histoire. She grew up in a small village in the Bourden, and earned a spot as a student in her local D’Histoire branch. She studied Chronurgy and became a pen-pal of another Chronurgist student, Chérie. Valentine was having issues paying for her schooling, when Chérie’s uncle Alistair Goodryett offered to sponsor her. When she accepted the proposition, she was moved to the capitol to study under Head Librarian Maze, as Chérie was vacating her position due to health.

##### Chérie Goodryett

This is her previous main persona, and the one she used throughout most of her teen years. Chérie is a short, pale tiefling with a unicorn horn and tail. She wears pastel clothing and is inspired by the novel Cri de la Licorne. She goes by the nickname Darling.

Chérie’s backstory is that she was the bastard daughter of the lost heir of Goodryett. She was born and raised in the Free Cities, unaware of her nobility status. When her father died, the news eventually reached her uncle Alistair, who came to bury his brother. When he found Chérie, he adopted her into the family and eventually used his influence to get her a prestigious student position in the D’Histoire.

She studied under the Head Librarian Maze before eventually moving back to the Goodryett estate when she grew ill due to grief. She currently resides in the Goodryett mansion and avoids contact with anyone other than her uncle.

## Relationships

### Friends

**Voyager**

One of her good friends. They began traveling together out of convenience, but oddly enough became quick friends. She admires Voyager’s creativity, knowledge, and calm demeanor. She’s happy to do research into Voyager’s interests and past, and cares deeply for them. When they’re both in disguises, she likes to mirror Voyager’s forms. Their relationship can be described as siblings.

**Leech**

She is Leech’s makeshift Aunt, and is attempting to teach them how to read. Her ultimate goal is to teach Leech cantrips like Mage Hand, so they have an easier time living with their curse. She often bribes Leech with candy, and likes to highlight Leech’s accomplishments as a form of encouragement. She enjoys teaching Leech, even if they’re not the best student. Ultimately, she would like to find a way to either cure Leech’s curse, or find a way to make it easier for Leech to live with.

**Amos**

Her first friend and longtime crush, they met at the D’Histoire when she was Chérie. They spent most of their days studying together and working on new spells. She was devastated when Amos disappeared, and consequentially had a hard time forming new friendships.

She didn’t recognize him when she met him again 4 years later due to the spell he used to disappear. Due to the two meeting again while she was Valentine, he didn’t recognize her either. The two quickly formed a new friendship, and began studying and working on spells together again. She spent much of their journey denying her feelings for him, as she wasn’t fully prepared to build a romantic connection.

Amos soon discovered Valentine and Chérie were the same person. He decided to tell her the truth, and after an argument the two started rebuilding their previous relationship. It took time to rebuild their previous trust, but they’re slowly working on it together. She still cares for him deeply, and is very worried about keeping him safe. She went as far to contact Fiyen and tell her the truth about her identity in order to get Amos an ally who could protect him while he was away from the group.

After much pining and poorly hidden flirting, Amos finally confessed his feelings and they kissed before he left with Fiyen. He is now her boyfriend.

**Alistair**

Not much is known about her relationship with Alistiar, or who he is.

### Allies

**Marigold**

She thinks Marigold is very charming and creative. She likes hanging out with Marigold, as Marigold is vey funny and usually has interesting insights. The two have worked together with Amos on editing Marigold’s spells. She does think that Marigold can be a bit abrasive, especially around any form of authority. While she can be annoyed by this, she is fond of Marigold’s antics. Despite how she generally likes Marigold, she hasn’t had a chance to get closer to the elf.

Dorian- on thin ice. Opposites in fact do not attract and they have had multiple nasty fights. She thinks he’s an intelligent and talented monster hunter but kind of a dick with an ego

Floralis- Thinks he’s creative, smart, and fun to work with. Has worked on potions with him

Fiyen- her old teacher and mentor when she was Chérie. They had a falling out, and Fiyen was suspicious of Valentine. They’ve begun repairing their relationship recently and while not friends yet, they are allies.

Enemies

Oberon- has some sort of past with him. They had some sort of major falling out and she greatly fears him

Cetus- thinks he’s a dick and actively dislikes him. Doesn’t care about respecting him, and hasn’t told him of her connection with the winter court.
