Valena Verloren
[edit]
Valena was born in Ala Mhigo to a coastal village durning the First Astral Moon in 1545. When the Garleans attacked in 1557, Valena's father died to give his family time to escape. Valena, her mother Charlotte, and younger brother Octavian, were saved by a Roegadyn named Moernmoen. He brought them to Limsa Lominsa and continued to stay in touch with Valena's family, later becoming a mentor to Valena.
Eventually Valena’s mother met Victor Everardi, and soon remarried. Valena's Half-Sister, Camille Everardi, was born in 1560. From an early age Valena took a strong interest in combat and battle tactics. She often begged grounded Maelstrom crew to teach her but it wasn't until her 18th birthday that her mother allowed to train and study combat strategy. She practiced religiously in her free time for her goal, to join the Crimson Fleet of Maelstrom. Three years later, Valena left Lominsa and joined the Black Sails. Her brother joined her a few years later. Valena participated the Battle of Carteneau Fields alongside her brother as infantry for the Eorzean Alliance. Only Valena eventually returned home from the fight and it is not a story she wishes to tell. Currently, Valena is an active member of the Maelstrom and has started a semi-successful relic hunting business with Autolycus Furare, a rumored thief. While neither will ever admit it, they have become close and loyal friends.
While on the short side for a Highlander, Valena can have an intimidating presence when she wants to. She has sea green eyes and her face is covered in light scars from her past; the exceptions being a deep scar over her right eye and a fresh scar on her chin. Her hair is dark rose, unkempt, and usually pulled back or hacked off for practicality.
Upon first meeting, Valena can come off as reserved and even shy, often focusing on the problem at hand rather than the person asking. However, once she gets to know someone, Valena is generally good-natured and loyal. With close friends, her wit and sarcasm shine and can even be seen showing affectionate hugs or pats. Occasionally, she will slip off into a daze before shaking herself out of it.
