The Queen, her bloodline drips from Dracula himself.
She has all the manners of a Queen but is very kind and gentle. She loves her family very much and will stop at nothing to make sure they are safe. She becomes cold when anyone mentions the time she spent tortured as a young woman. She has not gone soft, except when her husband has her in his arms. The King is the only one who can sway her disposition.
Valerie was born to a maid in a castle, and that is all she knows of her past up until she was taken by a deranged vampire who tortured her for days then finally turned her, branded her with a cross on her right shoulder and tossed her into the street. Beaten and alone she walked until she collapsed and by happy mistake met a man. This man turned out to be the Prince of Briethorn, Prince Michael. They fell in love over picnics in the garden and stolen kisses on the balcony. He proposed to her and soon after the Queen who had been raising her son on her own had passed and it was now time for Michael to rule. They became an unstopable force and under the eye of Queen Valerie the Kingdome prospered and peace treaties were drawn to ensure no war or famine would come over them. They had two children, Amelia and Hikaru.
