Physical Description: Valerie is of rather average height at 5'6". Her body isn't very curvy, but she does have a modest build to her. The one thing that always grab's the attention of other's though is the fact that she is albino. Her unnaturally pale hair and skin and pink colored eyes often catch the attention of those around her. Valerie's facial features are on the softer side, her eyes large and her nose smaller with a rounder face. From afar she looks rather delicate in her appearance.
Profession: Valery has worked in several areas in the Nakatomi Corporation's Research and Development department. Currently she is the head technician in improving the General Management Programme.
Skills: Clearance: Valerie has a high clearance level that can get her to certain levels of the Ark that others probably cannot go to.
Intelligence: She is a leading scientist in the corporation and has two doctorates in her respected fields. Valerie could probably tell somehow how anything mechanical works. That doesn't mean she is able to use it though, she could probably make her own gun in her lab but she wouldn't be able to shoot the thing to save her life.
Equipment: Emergency A.R.R.T.'s Tablets: To prevent herself from going blind, Valerie has a container with three tablets left. It's usually more full , but lately she's been so busy she hasn't had the time to fill it up again.
Laptop: Her own personal, state of the art laptop is never out of her possession. Valerie is constantly running calibrations and tweaking programs for either the General Management Programme or for experimental augmentations. She can't afford to have the device leave her sight.
Medical History: Valerie's albinism has caused her several problems over the years, which the Nakatomi Corporation has graciously paid for in order to have her services. Man of her problems stemmed from her eyes, which have currently been replaced by top-of-the-line visual augmentations. These have allowed Valerie to have perfect 20-20 vision in both eyes as well, magnification capabilities, and enhanced night vision to help in her work.
Her albinism also makes her sensitive to the suns rays and so she takes much time in applying heavy-duty sunscreens and wears clothing that usually covers every bit of skin she can manage when she is outside.
Psych Analysis: As a child, and even in her teen years, Valerie was treated very poorly amongst kids her own age. They thought she was strange thanks to her albinism and this resulted in her being very conscious of her appearance. The treatment has also resulted her in being a very quiet individual by nature.
Once she entered into the Nakatomi Corporation though, Valerie felt for the first time that she belonged somewhere. The company had provided her with a stable environment where she never felt judged and surrounded her with people who helped build her up. This has made her severely loyal to the Nakatomi Corporation and hold it in high regards. She respects those in authority and listens to the chain of command. Since joining the company she isn't afraid to voice her opinions on any matter and has been known to comfortably debate with others.
Personal History: Born in South Africa, Valery and her family lived there until she was about 10. The constant sun of the area had pushed a young Valerie's eyes to the brink, eventually making her legally blind. She was still able to view things up close, but the conditions forced her family to move elsewhere.
Traveling to the Maine in the northern US, where the sun would be less and climate cooler for someone who needed to dress in more clothing, was the best decision that they made. Valerie excelled in the new conditions and although making friends was hard, she was very proficient in her work and ended up graduating high school a year early and with a full ride to Dartmouth University. She studied both BioMedical Engineering and Computer Science
Before she even graduated, Valerie was scouted by the Nakatomi Corporation. After receiving both her bachelors degrees the company sent her back to school for further educations as she worked with them. They had high hopes for the unique young woman as she did for them. Since Claire Hartford's fall from grace, Valerie has taken her place as Douglas' golden girl.
