Valentina Sakharov
Description: Valentina is a thin, fragile looking woman. She has silky black hair that falls to the small of her back, often with dark pink and purple ribbons woven into it. Her skin is very pale, and she looks like a standard noblewoman. Generally, she will be wearing long dresses made of black silks, velvets, laces, and satins. While the skirts of her dresses are almost too long to be inconvenient, the necklines are almost scandalously low and quite revealing. All of Valentina's shoes have heels of 2 to 3 inches high. She appears to be slightly younger than she actually is.

Date of Birth: 13. December 570 TE
Birthplace: Gweynura
Current Location/Residence: Gweynura
Ethnicity: Irlean
Height: 5'8" without shoes; 5'10" to 5'11" with shoes.
Weight: 121 pounds

Hair Length: Just past her bust in the front, and to the small of her back in the back.
Eye Color: Dark brown. She generally lines her eyes with kohl.
Complexion: Very fair, with near-perfect skin.
Voice Type: Soprano, leaning slightly towards mezzo-soprano. Her voice is very soft and flowing, and she couldn't sound angry or annoyed if she tried. She speaks in a slightly higher pitch when nervous or excited, and when she is singing.
Quirks: She has a tendency to tease and joke around with anyone she is talking to, more so with females than males. Despite having been raised to be utterly subservient, she does have a bit of a rebellious streak in her, and likes to push boundaries to the limit. She is very good at embroidery, but absolutely hates it and would refuse to pick up a needle and threat if her life depended on it.
Political Affiliation: Aristocracy
Social Class: Noble
Occupation: None, really. Her main job is to tend to the house, making sure that the maids are all doing their jobs. She does spend a good deal of time taking care of strays and any injured animals she finds.
Religious Beliefs: Va'abren
Family: Ivan Yakovlev [Father], Annamaria Yakovlev [mother], Matvei Yakovlev [Older Brother], Aleksander Sakharov [Husband].
Personality: Valentina is a quiet woman who generally tries to stay out of the way. She is quite shy around strangers, and will generally be very quiet if she is around someone she doesn't know. Around her friends and people she at least somewhat-knows she is a completely different person. She is a social butterfly, and, much to her husband's disappointment, flirts with anyone who gets near, male and female alike. She is extremely loyal to her husband, however, and all of her flirts are never followed through with.
She has a strong motherly instinct, and cannot bear to see anyone hurt. Despite this, Valentina refuses to have children. This annoys her husband greatly, but he has not yet forced her into anything. Right now, instead of being filled with youngsters, their house is filled with animals. Valentina cares for any and all strays she comes across, and any injured animals. She does not have much medicinal knowledge besides basic herbs and care, so if an animal is severely injured, she will call in a doctor.
Her need to help everything in need has gotten Valentina in trouble more than a few times when she went against her husbands wishes and brought another animal home, or when annoyed owners have shown up at their front door asking why Valentina took their pet dog or cat away because they did not seem to be taking good care of it. Her teasing and flirtations have gotten her slapped for insolence and rudeness more than once.
Strengths: Intelligent, caring, gentle, generous
Weaknesses: Painfully shy among strangers, flirtatious, unable to resist the urge to take care of something,
Hobbies: Cooking, singing, talking to friends and family, caring for animals.
Phobia/Fears: Being forced to have children, strangers, death.
Equipment: A short dagger she keeps tucked into the sash of her dresses.
Biography: Valentina was born to a wealthy noble who gained his power through his skills at diplomacy. Because of this, it was not uncommon for there to be multiple strangers, usually aristocrats and powerful leaders, to show up at their house, requesting her father's help. Some of the strangers had better manners than others, and Valentina quickly learned that she should keep her distance. The more roughly-mannered of the men are the main cause of Valentina's current fear of strangers, and her reluctance to approach anyone new without the company of her husband or friends.
She was raised in comfort, never having to ask for a thing. Her mother raised her to be a good daughter and a good wife, teaching her the proper manners and actions to survive in the society of Gweynura. Part of Valentina was slightly jealous that she wouldn't get to learn to be a diplomat like her brother and father, but the other part of her was incredibly thankful that she wouldn't be forced to socialize with strangers. She was a fast learner when it came to caring for the household, and made her mother proud.
Her childhood and teenage years honestly were not particularly exciting or unusual. She spent the time learning what was reasonable to ask of maids and what was not, as well as how to behave properly in public. This was not particularly difficult for Valentina, considering she would be quiet as a mouse anyways. At times, her mother was almost frustrated with how obedient Valentina was, wishing that she would rebel at least a little bit, that she would act like a normal teenager. But the rest of the time, she was glad that Valentina was willing to learn and that she wasn't being a bother.
Valentina was married off to her husband, Aleksander Sakharov, when she was eighteen. She had no say in the choice of grooms or wedding, but that didn't matter all that much to her. Aleksander was at least fairly attractive, and fairly kind to her, so she was thankful for that. She knew she could have ended up with a much worse guy, and certainly wasn't going to complain. Their wedding was an extravagant one, and Valentina enjoyed it. The only thing she disliked about it was the fact that there were so many people who she didn't know.
For the past few years, Valentina has more or less been just staying out of view from society inside her house. Of course, she's gone outside, and she's invited friends over, but she hasn't actively made any attempts to socialise. Caring for all of her animals is how she spends her time, and, with the amount she has, she rarely has a spare moment. Valentina has been feeling a bit curious about the outside world, and she's been wanting to explore it a bit, but knows that she would be too scared to do so, especially alone. So, inside her house she's been staying.
