Valerie's eyes are a gold hue, but her limbals can occasionally flare silver under intense emotion or stress.
Freckles dot along her cheeks, but she does have a number of other beauty marks across her figure.
Has the occasional scar along her body. From the many misadventures she goes on to the bigger and badder creatures/people she likes to fight.

Background
As a child, Valerie desired to leave the Steppe and make her mark on the world. Even with how expansive the Azim Steppe was, it did little to contain what wonders were beyond the fringes of the mountains. In her earlier years, Valerie found herself taking on the role of a warrior of the Steppe like her other kinsmen. Learning to hunt, fight, and live the life of a tribeswoman. Yet, that sense of wanderlust never quite left Valerie.What spurred her sense of wanderlust more was their family a friend, a many by the name of Castellain. He was the same individual that the family's known for a very long time, and would be the one to offer Valerie's name to then mother-in-waiting. When he last arrived in the Steppe, he would make Valerie an offer: to travel the lands of Hydaelyn with him and many others, learning the ways of the very world around her. In exchange, she too would Walk the Path.After a lengthy time considering Castellain's offer, Valerie's parents accepted his offer and allowed the young woman to travel with him and his entourage. It was with them that she picked up her love for music and entertainment, considering they were a smaller troupe formed by Castellain. Between learning the many arts of song and dance, she also learned the dark secrets to the path she now walked. That with light, there was dark; that there can be evil in this world. But to never forget what she was ultimately fighting for, and to experience the world. Through the worst, and the best of it.
Long after that little troupe had went their separate ways, Valerie continued in her training and following what she believed in Nowadays, while vengeance isn't her call to arms, it's the comfort and safety of others that are at the forefront.
Hooks
| ... of the Kha - Valerie hails from the main Kha tribe, the ones that live off the fringes of the Azim Steppe. Maybe you're familiar with her, or have heard of the family often visited by a "strange, iron fellow with pointed ears"? |
| Not-So Dark & Mysterious - Those that Walk The Path or can feel the strange aether that eminates from this Auri. They may sense the presence of a certain Soulstone, dark in origin - yet filled with a warmth not many find. Surely that must be a false feeling... |
| A Helping Hand - In her travels, Valerie's always known to stop and offer any assistance in exchange for food, coin, or favours. Perhaps she's helped somebody in the past and has favour to return, or vice-versa. |
| Bardic Inspiration - Valerie is first and foremost a dancer, but she's also leaned into other forms of entertainment. In addition to dancing, she has been known to take up a few instruments. It wouldn't be hard to find her playing a flute somewhere in the middle of nowhere. |
| Treasure Hunter - When she's not out doing mundane contractor work around Eorzea, she's scouring ruins and simply adventuring to unearth some of the world's greatest secrets. Much of that work being legal! |

Out of Character
Hi there! My name's Muse, and I want to thank you for taking the time to read Valerie's (albeit short and likely still a WIP) carrd! ♥I live in the East Coast of the US. My times for getting online are sporadic at best but I like to try and get on around the evenings. With that said, I've got a few things I want to set in stone.
IC is IC, OOC is OOC. 'nough said. I know that the people are reading this are smart enough to recognise that.
I'm open to most forms of RP, within reason. However, intimiate relationships and ERP isn't on the table unless it's built up through a good, organic story.
My RP is 18+. Should be obvious there, but still wanted to mention that here.
I try and follow the lore as best as I can, but as it's quite clear here, I also tend to bend rules and don't mind people that also do the same.
If you have a question, ask away. Anything you want to know about my character but aren't too sure? Ask away! I'll give you an honest answer.
If you'd like to contact me out of game, my Discord is placidignited.
