With an environment like Hades to grow up in it's no wonder that Valerie turned out the way she did. She thoroughly enjoys the nightlife. She feels there is nothing better than getting out on the dance floor and moving to the beat of the music dancing away all her problems. This isn't to be confused with a party girl mentality. She actually likes very few people and doesn't enjoy social scenes. Because of how rare it is for for Valerie to come across someone she likes and connects with she can become very protective of those people.
Her cool and aloof personality stems from her earlier days when she first developed her powers. They were a little out of control so Valerie stayed away from people, then as she began to learn how to better manage them she realized that she would never have to worry about being deceived, or getting blindsided by someones thoughts or feelings. Though with all the mystery of a person being taken away she can't really get excited about getting to know a person, she can find all all she wants to know from one simple touch.
Valerie's cool demeanor makes her a natural leader as she is able to assess situations calmly and make rational decisions. She honed in on this during her time as a motor gang leader back in Hades before she was accepted into Evo's Athena Project.

Val's power is called Psychometry. It is the ability to learn about a person or object through touch. During her time at Evo she honed her ability so that even the most guarded thoughts couldn't hide from her, not unless the person was of very, very strong mind.
Skills/Strengths
- Val is easily a good spy. Because of her powers she never has to go into deep cover. A simple skin to skin contact with her target can give her all the answers she needs.
- During her times on the streets of Hades she became a master sneak and thief. She can move silently as well as pick locks and pockets.
- Valerie is skilled at languages and knows Italian, German, Chinese, and Russian.
Fears/Weaknesses
- Valerie has a fear of heights
- She fears that because of her power she'll never form a meaningful bond with another person. No one should ever know everything about another person.
- Tears are a weakness for her, she doesn't know how to deal with a person who's crying. It causes' her to drop her natural defenses.
- Valerie can hold a grudge like nobody's business and doesn't often give second chances even to those who are worth it.
Weapons/Equipment
Scorpion is a sword-whip that uses metallic rubber cords between each section of the blades. The advantages of its special rubber is that it keeps the whip slightly stiff, therefore giving more control to the wielder while whipping, as opposed to something like chain which would make the whip far too loose and very hard to control.
The blade section come back together by a powerful magnet at the sword's hilt, which activates and creates a chain reaction of magnetism, bringing each section back into place and making the sword complete. The cords fit into the section beneath it.
the opposite magnetic force is also used to keep the sections totally separated, and gives the whip a floating sensation.
The blade can be easily broken down and completed in the blink of an eye and its repellent magnetic ejection can be used in attacks, like during a swing, to gain a little extra speed.
Each section of the blade are infused with poison, by armored vials of compressed poisonous gas that is constantly pushed into the absorbent metal used by scorpion. You can see these casings on each section of blade in the middle.
Javelin keeps compacted spikes in its clip. when fired they slide into long spikes (as seen at the bottom of the picture). The spikes are fired at the speed of a regular bullet, so they travel very fast and will pass through one or more targets before stopping in a single target. if a target is near a dense wall they will be nailed to it. however the speed can be adjusted so that the spikes will stay in the first target they hit. the spikes are also electrified, so if they do stay in a target they will be shocked to death or partially paralyzed via electric seizures. the spikes also tend to electric trails in their paths.
Valerie was was the only child of a pair of level 3 parents, her mother a cocktail waitress and her father black jack dealer at a casino. There was a time when her parents were actually parents to her but as she got older she slowly began to take care of herself. So it was no surprise that at the age of twelve she started making friends with the 'wrong crowd'. With her parents working nights and sleeping days she went around mostly unsupervised. Valerie made friends with a boy her age who introduced her to the underground world of motorbike gangs.
Valerie excelled quickly to the position of leader in her gang at the ripe age of sixteen. In the next two years she established herself as a worthy leader and a fearsome enemy. With her scorpion she put down more than one gang that challenged them be it for territory, rights to deal in one of their many illegal activities, or if it were just because some men just couldn't accept that a female held more power than they did. All the notoriety caught the attention of some very unwanted people though, the Scientist and Military Officers in charge of Project Athena.
Shortly after her eighteenth birthday they finally caught up with her, snatching her off the streets and to a facility still in Hades. There she was told that she had missed her test which for all she knew was quite possible, Valerie had a tendency to skip school finding it boring and not really worth her time. They told her that they would over look the transgression if she took it right then and there and afterwords they would release her. So she agreed. She answered each question to the best of her ability giving each the proper amount of time, after all she was worried that since she had missed so much school that she would barely make it to a three. After the test she sat nervously awaiting her results. To her shock the test giver came back in with a huge smile on his face announcing that she had scored well enough to be considered an eight.
At first she was delighted and couldn't wait to tell the others but instead of letting her go they immediately shipped her off to EVO where she spent the next year in grueling training sessions and experimental tests. In hind sight Valerie was actually grateful for the structure that the program gave her, it calmed her savage nature. Though after learning what EVO intended for her she wanted nothing more than to fight back.

Scorpion wasn't just the name of her whip-sword but also the nickname given to her by her gang members. She still goes by it to this day.

"She's a good girl, not really someone I'd hang out with if we weren't at Evo together though."
Crow
"He's always been sort of a lap dog ever since his military days but he chose the wrong side to be so obedient to."
Fuu
"The girl's tiny and quiet, sometimes to the point that it's annoying."
Ciel
"Most people say she's just a shy, quiet, and kind girl. I happen to think she's a coward who wont stand up for what's right."
Minato
"He's a classic 'Nice Guy' always worried about someone else. He'll get himself killed if he keeps that up."
Vance
"Don't really talk to the guy much, never had a reason to. Not like he wants the company anyways, too busy with his nose in some tech."
Luka
"He's like most the other Athena kids, quiet and reserved. I haven't interacted with him much either, not really one to push myself onto others."
