Appearance:

Most streets where you live girls talk about their social lives, they're made of lipstick, plastic, and paint, a touch of sable on their eyes.

Gifted with the soft pale skin of her mother, Val's heart shaped face is generally free of blemishes and acne.Rarely does this girl tan, coming from Nevada desert she is so used to the heat and exposure, she could spend hours in the sun and if she's lucky, she'll tan a little. Her skin is close to flawless, in the eyes of others. She has a couple permanent designs, a pretty Z behind one ear, and a skull with wings and long spiky hair on her upper thigh. Val is gifted with the looks that many girls aspire for, but she doesn't think much of herself.

Though she doesn't wear much makeup, Val's eyes are typically lined with a simple black or other dark color, her eyes are her best feature and she accentuates them. Her long, full lashes prevent her from wearing mascara most of the time, she doesn't need it. Her doe eyes are a deep chocolate, frosted on all sides by a ring of yellowish green, though it's often hidden from view. She dislikes the ring, she thinks it's a little unnatural.

Her small nose is adorned by a single stud in one side, a birthday gift so long ago from her friend, just a little sparkle on her otherwise unadorned face. Lush lips are rarely painted. "No paint, no worry of cracking paint" is her makeup motto, she doesn't want to be a little porcelain doll. Gloss is an exception, she is generally found kissed by a shimmer of some breezy color, framed and complimented by her locks.

Speaking of hair, Valary loves her hair. She cuts and styles it herself, unable to trust nearly anyone else with it. Just past her shoulders, unfortunately it doesn't grow quickly. As per typical with teenagers, she changed her colors many times, but her favorites were a dark brown, black, and her ever natural blonde. When she feels the need for a little mix up in her life, she will change it back again.

As for her fashion, Val is all about being herself. She'll wear a handkerchief as a shirt if she feels like it. She's been seen in a bikini top and sweatpants, body paint and high heels with wildly colored hair extensions. She loves bright colors, but has absolutely no qualms about dulling down to a solid color for a while. She's completely unpredictable on clothing, she tried once to make her own line but it never took off, so since they're all her clothes, she's very unique in style.

Personality:

Sweet- Val can be the kindest, most caring person you've ever met. She'd literally give you the shirt off her back and fight your battles for you. She's the perfect shoulder to cry on, always offering a comforting hand or arm, a hug without judgment. She's very understanding about just about everything, even if she has no idea how you're feeling.

Fierce- And by fierce, I mean she'll never back down. She would fight battles for her friends, she'd take bullets and beatings just to spare someone else the pain. She's very strong against picking on people younger, or weaker than you. She's not afraid of almost anything, and when knocked down she bounces back in record time.

Open- Val will never have a problem going out into the spotlight, and will drag someone along with her when she feels she needs to. She's very blunt and honest about her feelings, and oddly enough, her past on most subjects. She's a headstrong girl, stubborn to a fault.

Addictive- Val's demeanor is catchy, she tends to pull people in by her enigmatic smile and melodic laughter. She has friends all over, and makes them very easily. Her mother used to tell her it was because she was an ocean, and her tides were too strong for anyone to escape. Val laughs easily, and will shoot jokes right back at you, but she won't care to offend you.

History:

Isis DiBenedetto rushed to the hospital at nearly seven months pregnant, and fortunately for them both, the baby was born as healthy as a premature baby can be. Little Valary was the light of her mothers world, her mother couldn't, for the sake of her child, quit her job though. She was a stripper and an escort, but not a whore. Valary was the product of a rape, but as her mother had been very drunk at the time, it was passed off as a drunken one night stand. Bernard, the 'one night stand' eventually came back, and married Isis.
Love and pain become one and the same in the eyes of a wounded child.
Valary and her father never got along, he was a bit too physical and punished her a little too harshly for such a small girl. Valary did well in school, but was often distracted by her home life. She spent as much time out of the house, with her friends, her boyfriends when she was older. Her bruises went unnoticed by her mother, even when she looked right at them. Isis claimed, when asked, that it was because putting up a fight on her daughters behalf, would only increase the punishment. And she didn't want Val to suffer more than needed. Val understood this to be true, and kept quiet. As she reached early teens however, her father got worse, and worse.
You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing.
He drank heavily, and often Val would wake up in the middle of the night and find him simply standing over her while she slept, breathing heavily and showering her in the rancid scent of alcohol. She ignored it and didn't say a word for a month, and he stopped. At least, he stopped waking her. Just after her fifteenth birthday, the behavior escalated. He moved from being a mildly abusive father and a creep, to be a sex offender against his child. She became manically depressed, and terrified of nights at home. She spent as much time as possible with her best friend Zack, stayed at him home as often as she could, but eventually she had to go home. The abuse went on until she was almost eighteen, before her mother caught on.
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh.
Val by this time had taken the plan B many times, disgusted and terrified of her father getting her pregnant one of those awful nights. Unfortunately it was no longer just one virginity he was obsessed with, and to satisfy these urges he violated his child in other ways. When caught, Bernard lost his mind further and tried to cover his tracks, the blow to head was enough to knock her unconscious, and Val was spared having to see her father beat her mother out of the life they shared. He was smart enough to run, and when Val came to she was met with such an awful sight. She couldn't cope and ran to Zack, who called 911 to her home and comforted her as she sobbed and screamed as anyone could expect. She was allowed to stay at his home after released from the hospital, since she had no other family. Zack left for school a few months later, and just a couple months after that, she learned that she'd inherited all her mothers belongings, and so she decided that her time for grieving and healing was over. It was time to start over, she wasn't little miss popularity, she'd just graduated, and she wanted to go to college. Maybe she could understand what kind of mind her father had, but she doubted it. So she packed her things, her mothers things, and promised to visit the temple she'd been welcomed in, before following her friend's footsteps and making her way to California.
