Valerie

### Children

Yukiona, Kasharo (with Exbo); it is also likely she has more from siring zoroarks in the coven.

**Valerie**, a fierce and passionate zoroark and leader of the \_\_ coven.

## History

* In the dark of a cave, Valerie was born as a difficult delivery (a postpartum hemorrhage), causing her mother Aedalin to be deathly sick for a few weeks after. Valerie herself was taken in by the nurses and pupsitters of the group, seeing her as a miracle for the group's future. Rokir however took the situation of his mate very painfully, almost to the point where he would hardly ever leave her side, paranoid that she would die (causing him to forget to eat and drink). Eventually as Aedalin began to heal from the illness, he healed too -- however the imprint of the event would scar his psyche.
* When Aedalin healed, she began to notice that Rokir wasn't quite... there, often claiming that he had to protect his family, his sole family... making his efforts to the coven minimal. This led to a lack of ceremonies, rites and even funerals for the dead. A year later, Aedalin stepped in but before she could get her mate's permission, he had already left to go to war, obsessed with his kin's safety. From there, his disappearance had affected Valerie's mother to a lingering depression. The coven itself saw this, and knew they must raise Valerie to everything she could potentially be, to reignite the embers of a dying fire.
* As she grew, Aedalin had changed, and she too began to see Valerie's potential. Within those years of practicing her abilities, learning to hunt efficiently, how to fight, and learning the old tales of her coven from a time long passed, she grew stronger and wiser. When she got to her teens, Valerie was made aware of her powerful lineage, and was swiftly placed in higher ranks. Aedalin continued to lead the group for some time, until she deemed Valerie ready for leadership at the age of 19.

## Personality

Valerie is a fiery gal in spirit, and fiercely protective of her coven, making sure everyone is well and protected. She is also savage in a manner, vastly wild and maybe even playful at times, and when it comes to battle, she can become very bloodthirsty, essentially "drunk on blood", where her reasoning and composure disappears. She dare not harm her coven, even with their bloodscent in the air. It is the specific blood of any creature or human that dare invade her territory. To sate this bloodlust, it is not unusual for her coven to go on hunts for prey.

## Relationships

### Helios

*Mate* - Her favourite male in her group, Helios had her eye from the very beginning. He was raised in high blood alongside her, and when the time came, Helios got not only Valerie's attention, but many other females in the coven. As such, they may have been destined - friends from the start, ending up in a romance of affection, play, snark comments and dedication. Helios understood Valerie's side-fling with Exbo after a short time, and took in their pups as his own in Exbo's place. She looks up to him, yet at times, down - he can be occupied with hunts, rituals and such, but regardless, he is the one zoroark she really feels closest to.

### Exbo

*Mate* - With Exbo, what was originally in the first minutes a threat to her and her coven quickly became a mock-fight, leading into raw passion and bloodletting. She sees Exbo as a potential ally to her, either in battle or in her rites, and also a spar-partner, both in battle and sexuality. It wasn't long that Valerie had twins, Yukiona and Kasharo, who she treasures deeply, though the coven aren't so sure of them.

## Trivia

* Her voice claim is Daki (Erica Lindbeck) from Demon Slayer.
