Name: Valerie Edik

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Place of Birth: Сама́ра, Россия [Samara, Russia]

Species: Mortal

Appearance: Valerie is a slight girl, merely five feet tall, and thin as a wisp. She seems delicate, but she's very sturdy despite her size and appearance.

Valerie has chocolate brown hair that reaches her waist, straight, and is usually pulled back in a loose ponytail. Her skin is pale and flawless, her appearance similar to a china doll, rosy tones in all the appropriate places. Bright green eyes with scary intensity shine through her long lashes.

History: Joseph Edik(27) married Lanie Johnson(17) after impregnating her. The marriage forced Lanie to leave from her family in Des Moines, Washington. Valerie Edik was the first child born to the new couple on January 2, 1990. Her mother suffered postpartum depression after the birth, but was not diagnosed until it was too late - Lanie had already turned toward alcohol as her solution.

For ten years, Valerie endured harsh words and crippling blows from her mother. Her father was never around to see, and never believed her claims. There was no way his precious darling wife could be capable of such a thing. When Valerie was seven, her father was shot while coming home from work. He died the next day, leaving Valerie alone. Lanie was pregnant with twin brothers, Eric and Dimitri. They were born June 8, 2000.

The next six years were better. The Edik family moved away from Samara so that Lanie could live with her new boyfriend, Tate Hagan, in London. Valerie went to a decent school and even made a few friends. At home, she took care of her little brothers. Tate helped sometimes, but Lanie was talented at distracting him most afternoons. Regardless, Valerie was happy the focus was off of her. She was happy the price was something as little as caring for her baby brothers. Unfortunately, her happiness was only temporary.

Lanie obviously was becoming bored with her life. Why did she have to take care of three whiny kids and a pussy boyfriend? Three days before Valerie turned 17, she packed her bags and left. As nice as this seemed, Tate left after her. Valerie quit school to get a full time job. She worked overtime and even found another job to work part-time. Her efforts were in vain. A few months later, the Edik kids were evicted from the small apartment they lived in. So they found themselves in Demaitre.
