[b]Name:[/b] [color=violet]Claudia Viola Valentina[/color]

[b]Epithet(s):[/b] [color=violet]Belladonna (Also nicknamed "Bloody Valentine" by her enemies, "Principessa" by the Family and "Kitten" by her closest friends)[/color]

[b]Age:[/b]  [color=violet]16[/color]

[b]School Year:[/b] [color=violet]First[/color]

[b]Gender:[/b] [color=violet]Female[/color]

[b]Appearance:[/b]
[color=violet]Standing at 5'5 and just over 128 lbs, Claudia is slim and a little shorter than average. Her skin is lightly tanned and has a soft, silky smooth quality. Her eyes are hazel and her auburn hair is around shoulder length. Her face is gorgeous, with big eyes, small but full lips, long eyelashes and a rounded chin, features that make her seem far more innocuous than she really is. She is built slender and busty bearing a flat tummy, average hips and a large bust, which is easily her most noticeable feature

Claudia's wardrobe is very clearly split in two. On one side is her "casual" gear and consists of what most people might call underwear. Crop tops, hot pants, miniskirts that barely reach the thigh and leather - by god, the leather - are all "standard" attire. None of her clothes come past the knee or elbow, so when she wears a jacket you may be forgiven for thinking she's wearing nothing under it. Her "formal" wear is far more suitable for a young lady, but no less revealing. She wears stylish low-cut dresses, either red or black, and high heels. Both sets of clothing are often form fitting and manoeuvrable, if only because there's almost nothing there.[/color]

[b]Nationality:[/b] [color=violet]American-Italian[/color]

[b]Personality:[/b] [color=violet]Bright. Sexy. Merciless. In these three words, one can sum up Claudia's personality.  Claudia is very clever, if not in terms of reading out of textbooks then in terms of what to do in what situation. She adapts to change easily and is an excellent actress, able to fake any emotion she chooses with nary an indication of her falsehoods. She's a clever girl and she isn't afraid to show it, though sometimes she can be a little too smart for her own good. Just because she knows what the best course of action is doesn't necessarily mean that's what she'll do and she's prone to forgoing her knowledge in order to make things a little more exciting.
She is charming as hell and she knows it. Using her feminine wiles, seductive talk and kittenish attitude, Claudia knows exactly what to say to worm her way into someone's good books. Whether it's a teacher giving her into trouble or a mafioso threatening to knock her skull in, she's willing to do whatever it takes to reduce the danger. If it means showing some leg, no problem. In fact, seduction is Claudia's favourite game to play and by far the easiest. She often runs into trouble with people who aren't so easily seduced or, by contrast, who already want a piece and she's just encouraging them more. She's also a massive tease, leading someone on until the last minute then yanking their chain by acting oblivious. This, as you can imagine, is quite dangerous as she has come across those who don't take "no" for an answer, but that's what her guns are for.
Speaking of her being a tease, she is quite merciless. Claudia may smile to your face, but secretly she's plotting your downfall. Like any good assassin, she's polite, she's efficient and she has a plan to kill just about everyone she meets. Cross her and she will make you suffer - she does not forgive nor forget. She is something of a control freak and you need her utmost trust and respect for her to give you an inch of authority over her. She's cocky, though not a braggart and she certainly doesn't get involved in fights she knows she can't win. She's a big time chiralist and personally relishes the attention she typically gains from boys and girls alike - try something funny, though, and your days are numbered in single digits.
Claudia enjoys fencing, flirting, being the centre of attention, horseback riding, shooting and humiliating others. She dislikes being humiliated, being shown up, being betrayed and people mocking the Family.[/color]

[b]Bio:[/b] [color=violet]Hmm. American-Italian who uses a Tommy Gun and nicknamed Bloody Valentine. I wonder where she came from? Yes, you've probably guessed that Claudia is a Mafia girl. But not just any Mafia girl - Claudia is the daughter of the consigliere to the powerful Valentino family. Being a girl of high standing, you may expect she be married off to some other family or wealthy businessman for the sake of making connections. Normally, that's what would happen. But not with Claudia. You see, from a young age, the Principessa was an active part in the criminal underworld. Even as a toddler she was smuggling cocaine in her knickers, her Family capitalising on the fact that police don't tend to suspect babies of drug running. As a young girl, she was manipulative and shrewd to her friends and enemies alike, twisting both her fake innocence and her parent's powerful position to her eternal advantage. She used to steal her father's revolver and go bird shooting at one of the Family's compounds where she practiced and practiced until she could get six birds with six shots. To start with, the Family discouraged that kind of behaviour. Young ladies, even young Mafia ladies, were not supposed to be running around with their parent's weapons shooting unfortunate birds out the sky. They quickly did a U-Turn when at the tender age of eight she saved her dad and her boss at a supposed Family dinner where the Valentine's were discussing a truce with bitter rivals the Costanzo – no one ever expects a girl to know how to wield a revolver. She started to receive formal training with all kinds of weapons, but she took a fondness to the revolver and Tommy. She was ever the actress and longed to recapture the “good old days” of the twenties and thirties and the Tommy was one of the most iconic Mafia weapons around.
This training served her well when at the age of twelve, her compound was assailed by Constanzo thugs looking for payback. The bitter back-and-forth between families had grown and grown until finally a full-scale war was declared. Claudia was locked up in a supposedly secure location whilst the soldiers and capos fought and died for dominance over their enemies. But it wasn't enough. A snitch gave away Claudia's location and some upstart younger son of Don Constanzo thought it would be a good idea to haul the girl in front of his father and use her as leverage for the Valentino side to surrender. The boy gathered a small group of men and weapons and went to kidnap Claudia. Biggest mistake of his life. How Claudia knew is known only to her and her informants, but when Constanzo burst through the door, he was met face to face with a smiling Claudia and a small army of both servants and mafiosos looking back at him. Constanzo and his goons were promptly reduced to the consistency of mulch.
If Claudia had joined as a normal mafioso, she would have risen to at least Capo rank by the time she was fourteen. She was already practically running the business in her district. Goons would report to her rather than their actual bosses and her name was occasionally used as a threat - "Do I have to tell Miss Claudia of our little chat?" was synonymous with "Do what I say or things will get bloody". Rumours of a mysterious "Bloody Valentine" spread throughout the criminal underworld, stories of a mysterious girl who knew everything and could end your life with a glance. Even the more skeptical had reason to fear her as associates of rivals who wouldn't co-operate just seemed to disappear overnight. When you actually met the girl, you would struggle to come to terms with it. Was [i]this[/i] the famed Bloody Valentine? This spoilt princess? You honestly expect me to believe this little brat, with her skanky clothes and her pretty face, is the source of so much fear and terror?
The answer is - yes. Claudia was far and beyond the rank of any run-of-the-mill legbreaker. She was a card deployed for only special occasions, when someone had particularly pissed the Family off. And the best part of it was that she was a success. A marked target would receive a belladonna flower one day. Within the week, they were dead. Not just dissapeared, where they could have flown off to the Bahamas to hide, but straight up dead with a body and everything. The police wouldn't dare get involved, especially since the Family had risen to great power and was doubling their salaries every month, and rival families were near powerless to stop it.
The Valentino family has connections all over the world. Brazilian Drug Cartels, Asian Triads, Arabic slave chains, Japanese Yakuzas and yes, even the Russian Mafiya all have some kind of connection to the VAlentino Family now. They're as much a business as they are a crime syndicate.
So the Ruskies have been trusted with protecting little Valentina. At sixteen, Claudia has been flown off to Russia in order to train with the best assassins in the world and hopefully come back to take her place as the girl who brought the Golden Age of Gangsters back to America and restore honour amongst thieves.

[b]Weapon:[/b] [color=violet]Her distinctive 100-round Tommy gun.
She also carries a concealed Chiappa Rhino Revolver[/color]

[b]Equipment:[/b] [color=violet] Nothing really [/color]

[b]Skills:[/b] [color=violet]
SMG Master - Having spent near enough her entire life using SMGs, it would be a shock if Claudia didn't know how to wield one efficiently
Polyglot - Claudia knows English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese fluently and can conduct a conversation in those languages without a problem.
Ambidexterity - Claudia can use both her left and her right hand with ease, though she prefers her left.
Seduction - Claudia can leverage her good looks to her advantage. Even if they aren't necessarily attracted to her, her innocent features will put most at ease around her.
Actress - Claudia can feign emotion and injury in a most convincing manner.
Perceptive - Claudia is a deadeye and can spot minor features on someone that most wouldn't notice, like subtle glances or uncomfortable inflections in the voice. This is useful both for her shooting and for telling important details about someone, like if they are lying to her
