Alistar Goode
Angel & Wizard genealogy, he has limited traits from both and mainly can conduct healing and benevolent magic and trickster magic after extensive training. However there can be a penalty incurred for Angel Wizard hybrids who practice trickster magic, they are more likely to lose their wings and become fallen angels or angels of darkness. Alistar was raised 100% in the Wizarding world and is extremely unfamiliar with the mortal world and is intrigued by it, especially Manhattan.

25% Mexican 25% Italian and 50% British European
(I'm guessing Mason would be the Father)
♦Languages:
Some Spanish, Fluent English, Increasingly Fluent Latin & ASL
♦Supernatural Race:
Wizard\ Witch with latent Werewolf characteristics
Although Val is the child of a wizard Mother and werewolf Father she seemingly only has the predominant traits of wizard. Val has found that her powers are at their most reckless potential and most potent when there's a full moon. She's also prone antsy and flighty behavior under the full moon, she often remedies this by going urban exploring or doing activities outside during the night. Strangely enough Val also has a abnormal internal temperature system for a mortal wizard because of the trace of werewolf genealogy in her. Val overheats very easily in the Summer if she doesn't hydrate well or use a charm to keep her cool and in the Winter she is rarely ever cold enough to need a real winter coat unless the temperature drops to 15 degrees Fahrenheit or below. The last defining feature Val has from her Lyncathrope side is the very localized vitiligo she has on the back of her neck in a small patch that runs into the hair on the nape of neck and makes it a very whiteish grey color. She's grown very comfortable with it and has no hesitation when it comes to wearing her hair up and showing off the white patch. She often gets lots of compliments and inquires on who did the dye job, but it's completely natural.

♦Declared Specialty:
Advanced Enchantments
Valentina had proven to be very gifted from childhood when it came to incantations and enchantments. She was actually a particularly hard child to raise because of her aptitude for creating magic without help from a channeling magical talisman like a wand. As a result of this Valentina is much more gifted with her hands and mind that she has ever been with a wand or any other tool. Although she has a burgundy stained Acacia Koa wand with a ovaline cut diamond (talismanic stone) on top with her zodiac sign carved into it (Leo) that she cherishes deeply she doesn't use it unless she has to or for simple or less powerful spells for fear of exploding the wand like she did with countless others after failing at trying to steadily redirect her power through the medium. As a senior Val is pretty recognized in her school both in a positive and negative light for her aptitude for enchantments, she often is one of the liaisons that introduces the specialization to the incoming freshman classes when it's time for them to decide which specialty they will pursue in Wiztech. She's also pretty well known for being the daughter of THE Alexandra Magarita Russo, defender of the world and a legendary witch in a family with two family wizards in the same generation. Enchanters tend to make the most successful full wizards but they also are more likely to using their magic for evil or self serving purposes.

♦Style:
♦♦Valentina can almost always be found in earth tones, especially dark leafy greens, sandy browns, black, white and other saturated and darker tones. The worst thing you could buy Val to wear for a regular night on the town are neons, urban-wear or over the top graphic tshirts. She likes to keep it simple and keep herself on her toes by incorporating her favorite pieces from each fashion trend into her wardrobe so that she can strip it down and make it her own.

Val would cite her staples pieces as her black low top converse, her black oxford boots, a hair tie, any trench coat or sweater and her vegan leather backpack. A lot of the jewelry Val wears are made out of precious gems such as peridot, sapphire and diamond because of her interest in the antiquated practice of wizardry and witchcraft, but also because of their magical properties and aesthetically pleasing appearances. Valentina also like to reincorporate pieces from her Mother's youth into her wardrobe, mostly her senior year and college items because of their more subtle color schemes, for the most part however Valentina and her Mother's style are vastly different.
♦Height:
5'7 without shoes
♦Weight:
137lbs
♦Build:
Slim & toned
♦Appearance:
♦♦Valentina, like her Mother has long thick dark brown hair that she often cuts to shoulder length in her signature shoulder length waves as well as also inheriting her olive skin tone from her Mother. From her father she inherited her hazel eyes, dimples and defined jawline. Valentina stands at 5'7 without her trusty arsenal of heeled boots and atypical high heels and with her heeled boots or unique high heels she stands at anywhere between 5'8-6'2 depending on how drastic the heel. Val is very toned, she has subtly defined musculature because, unlike her Mother but very like her Father she keeps fit by doing outdoor activities that use the natural range of her body like hiking, running and more. She also dabbles in yoga from time to time.

Sarcastic ❖ Leader ❖ Adventurous
Passionate ❖ Fearless ❖ Irritable

♦Personality:

Much like her Mother Val is very sarcastic and comedic person, she's a leader in her own right, she's driven undeniably by passion, fear rarely ever creeps into her vocabulary and her Achilles heel is how irritable she can become in the blink of an eye, especially when it comes to petty school drama or missing her stop after falling asleep on the subway or even just messing up a spell. A big challenge for her is keeping her emotions from swinging too far in any direction especially in the direction of destructive emotions because that often impacts her spell casting in unexpected ways. Thanks to being raised by one of the snarkiest women ever to have existed Val is a pro when it comes to biting humor, she's often too proficient in it and come off as mean or cold because of her dry and quick jabs. Because of this Val has a rather small friend group, but as a result Val trusts that those who have thick enough skin to tolerate her jokes will be there for life. This sarcasm and humor however is slightly offset by Valentina's propensity to effortlessly fill leadership positions, she’s charming, know what she wants out of life and has great vision especially when there’s a creative task at hand, but she does have a hard time not being too bossy once she’s been given the talking stick and that can sometimes foil her efforts to get people do to what she wants.

♦Hobbies:
Val, much like her parents is very artistically inclined. This artistic expression comes through in her unique approach to enchantments and spell casting as well as in her hobby of singing and her passion in mixed media drawing. After her time at Wiztech Val intends to apply to one of the many prestigious art schools in NYC such as Tisch, The Fashion Institute of Technology or NYU to pursue a degree in digital\ mixed media art or fashion and design. Another hobby of Vals, despite how contrary it seems to most who meet is that she used to be a cheerleader in middle school until her second year when she left to attend Wiztech as a full time student instead of just studying there during summer breaks when mortal schools go on summer vacation. Lastly, Val is really big on fitness especially cardio and low rep workouts and since she is no longer cheering since she was pulled out of mortal school in favor of home schooling and full time enrollment in Wiztech she does yoga occasionally to keep fit or a bit of urban exploring or even “hiking” or running in Central Park, if she shirks her fitness regime for too long she gets noticeably irritable.




♦Biography:

Re-Cap

Valentina's story starts with the epic and rather unlikely life story up until this points of the Russo family and the last generation of kids which included her Mother Alex Russo, her Uncle Justin and her Uncle Max. While the Russos surely weren't the first they were however the first in decades to have two family wizards in one generation. Val's Mother, Alex won her family's Wizard competition over her brothers and they were subsequently stripped of their powers. Her Uncle Max now lives a completely mortal but still far from normal life and owns the family substation, while her Uncle Justin became the youngest headmaster of Wiztech at 21 years old when he had his powers reinstated by Headmaster Crumbs in order to assume the position. A year after the Russo’s Wizard competition Alex Russo faced on last battle with none other than herself and prevailed.

The Future Unfolds

A year after Alex’s last magical battle Alex and Mason took a gap year from their studies at Columbia University as respective Fine Art and International Relations majors to take a much deserved holiday in Tuscany Italy in a location nearby where they met Jerry’s side of the family for the first time. Shortly after at 21 years old Alex became pregnant with her daughter Valentina and moved back to NYC with Mason. Mason went on to complete his degree and worked in the United Nations Headquarters in NYC and Alex finished her second year of school before dropping out for good and opening up her own painting studio in NYC that is a Alex Russo take on wine and painting in their new home of Hell's Kitchen New York, NY, a few stops away from the substation in the TriBeCa section of New York.

Passing The Baton

Similarly to her Mother Val grew up in peculiar yet extremely compelling circumstances like her Mother for having been raised in NYC and being a wizard. Unlike her Mother however Val never had to worry about having to one up anyone but herself because she was an only child. Which meant that she would never have to fight for her powers in a Wizard Competition as long as her parents didn’t make her a big sister, which in many ways she selfishly hoped would not be the case. Despite this however Val always had an inquisitive streak to her when it came to her magical studies and became a pretty proficient wizard for her age with the help of her Mom, Grandfather Jerry and of course Wiztech. All this magical training and her dropping out of traditional mortal school made her grow up geared towards a more magic based lifestyle than a mortal one. She uses magic for even basic tasks, something her Mother was discouraged from doing, and still has a hard time breaking away from today because of habit.


Straddled between the two worlds Val realizes the value in being successful in both but ultimately wants to transition into living in the Wizard World as opposed to her home of New York, she sneaks out frequently to visit her boyfriend’s family home and is encouraged by his parents to visit as often as she likes despite knowing that her parents are mostly unaware and not particularly okay with her forfeiting so much of her mortal life. Her boyfriend Alistar’s parents are separatists and believe that magics and non magics should be separated and gently try to guide Val to see the value in their beliefs. To Val at the tender age of 17 it all seems innocent but her parents see it as more sinister. Having become very accustomed to the fame and infamy of being a Russo-Greyback Alex and Mason are familiar with people trying to get into their good graces to benefit from the legacy, and even plotting to take them down- which is a big part of why they live in the mortal world and not in the wizard world. Alex and Mason also disagree with some of the rituals of the Wizard world that differ greatly from the ones they’re used to, there’s also a stigma against Werewolves in the wizarding world that have slurs attached like Mutt.

The Present

Presently Valentina is a senior high school level student at Wiztech, she boards there for free being that he Uncle is the Headmaster and she bounces between there and her parent's warehouse home in Hell's Kitchen. Valentina works as a mentor and adviser of sorts to freshman and as her senior thesis is working on creating a new enchantment that invoke the assistance of ones guardian angel in the form of direct white light power.
