Personality:
Valeria has always been stubborn and fierce. As a child her parents decided it was easier to just let her be than try to tame her strong will. She's always been compassionate deep down, caring deeply for her family and friends but as life went on, she began to lose those parts of herself. Nowadays she mostly just cares about herself. She carries around on a lot of anger, anger that has been building up for centuries. 

History:
Valeria was born to the High-Lord of the Night court and his mate on the night of Starfall. Her mother found it only appropriate to name her Valeria, after the city of starlight that they loved so dearly. Valeria grew up with a brother, Rhysand and somewhere along the way, his best friends became her brothers as well. She was rather untroubled growing up, having the liberty to do whatever pleased her, even fly. All that changed when Rhys befriended the wrong male and her mother ended up dying in front of her. Valeria was only 14 when it happened. They were travelling to the Illyrian Camp to meet Rhys when the Spring court ambushed them. Her mother fought them off for as long as she could but it wasn't enough. They caught them both and made her watch as they cut off her mothers wings and eventually after all the torture, killed her. Something snapped inside of Valeria that day and in the blink of a moment she found herself somewhere else, far away from the brutes who killed her mother. 

After that happened, Valeria found herself to be lost. She'd winnowed away for the first time, an unknown distance at that, and had no idea how to return home. She found ways to survive during those years and with time new powers manifested. She recognized some, as her brother Rhys also had them. Yet some of them, she had to figure out on her own. With no one to train her, it took her a long time to master her powers and learn how to control them. Once she did, she left the island that she'd been stuck on. 

After that, her life consisted of travelling around in the mortal realms. She wanted to distance herself from the life that she knew waited on her in Prythian. The bloodfeuds and politics of it all, she wanted no part of it. She couldn't escape the fact that she was a female and a virgin at that and the moment she returned, her freedom would be gone. Deep down she knew that Rhys would never let that happen to her, but she didn't know how he was, or how her father was and if they were even alive. So Valeria kept traveling around, relocating every 10 years to keep the locals from getting suspicious. She traveled as far as she could and learned as much as she could about the world around her. Some other parts were Fae, distance lands that they had never even heard of back in Prythian. There she would linger for a longer time, but never once did she decide to settle.
