Full Name: Valentina Phoebe Aida (Rivest)

Nicknames: Val, Ai (I-ee)

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Species: Snow Elf

Face Claim:

Scars/Tattoos/Piercings: Valentina doesn't have any tattoos, but has collected quite a few scars over the years. You'd be surprised by how dangerous the woods are for a young girl. Also she has her ears pierced.

Personality: Valentina is, in one word, attention-seeking. She wants people to pay close attention to her. This may be because she has some serious talent that pretty much deserves to be recognized but it also might be that she never really got attention and has always been searching for it. Valentina was always the odd one out, especially in her small hometown. She has always had a fondness for the arts, specifically music. It is what drives her forward everyday, what puts the hop in her step. Without it, she may as well be a lump of wood on the side of the road. She also loves history, and though she thought she would always be content with knowing her own history- she wants to know everyone and everything's history. She is passionate and driven because of those things, something many people would never want to deal with because well... it drives her to be rather curious and annoying. She exaggerates and creates stories to get her way, something that pushed away any semblance of friends she ever had. So she's lonely, curious, creative, and a attention hog. A lovely package all in all.

Likes: Music, history, being creative, the smell of smoke, chocolate, and the snow.

Dislikes: Hot weather, being hungry, people who dismiss her, sticky food, not taking the time to appreciate what's around, and broccoli.

Hobbies: Valentina has put her time into many things over the years, but at the moment she's particularly fond of writing, singing, playing instruments, and cooking. Especially experimental cooking. It doesn't all turn out good, but it's fun.

Fears: Being rejected by the person she finally gets attached to, losing her passions, dying without making a name for herself.

Former Occupation: Valentina has never had a true job but she was forced to work as a scout for her tribe many, many, many times. If you asked her though, she would say she was a student. Maybe.

Dream Occupation: She wants to be a traveling bard, or a teacher, or something of that sort.

Important Family Members: Mother (Rut Phoebe Olivere Rivest), Father (Vayu Sosruko Rivest), Aunt (Milka Astrea Olivere Losan), Uncle (Taliesan Arieh Losan)

Allergies/Intolerances: Slight allergy to pollen and grass, but it isn't too bad.

Health Issues: She's prone to being iron deficient, vitamin deficient, and is known to catch colds pretty easily but none of that is super major.

Why They Were Exiled: Snow elves are known for being secretive and territorial. Valentina is... let's just say... not. She's always been friendly and carefree, something that most didn't really want to excuse and let into their lives. She never had many friends since most advised their children, the few that were born anyway, away from her and the adults shunned her for her cheerfulness. The council discussed her exile several times, though she never knew, but couldn't do anything without a reason. She was known for letting in outsiders for short times and then letting them go very suddenly, which was problematic to most of the community for several reasons. Fortunately for them, she eventually let in one outsider that was arguably bad for the community and they exiled her quickly.

Other: She's actually quite good at keeping her mouth shut and not spilling the beans, but since she's over the top and obnoxious most people would never ever tell her anything.
