here's valeria, 27. she signed up late because of her mother's death when she was eighteen, this is the same time her x-factor decided to pop up.
she's the current pilot of paladin i or storm valkyrie. her brother was the previous owner, died a year ago. valeria was called up next to pilot. during her first six months of training and going on missions, her brother's memories often flooded her mind, including the pain he felt when he died. she cried a lot and mostly in private because who wants to deal with a big cry baby? valeria came from a large family of seven (five kids and two parents). they were a farming family so they don't have any military experience. before her brother died, he was considered one of the great ones so far before he met his end. so if there are pilots that are out there longer than her, they would know her brother. he was a fun loving, protective, older brother energy all the time. he looked like an ass but he had a heart of gold.
in the beginning, she used to be super sweet, naive, wide-eyed and innocent. that side of her closed when she began training. she learned the hard way that people were cutthroat and climbed the ranks however which way they needed to do it. but her innocence and sweet side can come out once in a while. she's nice to everyone, even if she doesn't like the person. she's highly protective, especially on the battlefield. she can be brash and brutally honest if needed, although she will most likely apologize right after. if she thinks she's the best person for a job, she'll take charge. she's a patient person with people and in other things. she believes in the statement 'all good things come to those who wait' but she will burst if you push her too hard. due to the stuff she saw in storm valkyrie, she turned into a bit of a worry-wart but secretly. she's afraid of death, even if she's putting herself in danger constantly. she'll never admit it to anyone. she's empathetic towards others so if they wanted to speak to her, she'd lend an ear. she is a bit stubborn af when it comes to certain things but will bend for other things. valeria's always pushing to be better so she can protect everyone.
