[indent]Falling from grace, her vessel expelling her, being sent back to Heaven[/indent]

[color=a187be][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Valentina possesses a very poised, controlled demeanor, sometimes read by others as cold. For the most part she is a private person and doesn't like to let others know much about herself, especially her weaknesses. Perhaps due to her relative youth she is somewhat impressionable, and has little experience with interpersonal relationships. As a result of having to keep her identity as an angel secret, she is distant from fellow supernaturals. Though fascinated by humanity she is somewhat intimidated by their proclivity for sinful activities and as such is distant from them as well, save for a few regular visitors at the library that she is pleasantly acquainted with.

She is extremely curious about Earth, human beings, her fellow supernaturals and pretty much everything else under the sun. She is a thoughtful, perceptive being who rarely forgets an act of kindness but also holds grudges stubbornly. Her time among humans has softened her edges a bit, and she is learning social skills and other human skills as she goes along. She is particularly fond of animals and human children.[/indent]

[color=a187be][b][u]History:[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Valentina is young by angelic standards, at a little over 900. Her time on Earth is much briefer. She has spent most of her life in Heaven, with the other angels for company. For the most part she was comfortable with her existence, but after centuries of mundanity became dissatisfied and bored with her surroundings. Though she was wise enough to keep quiet about her unrest, reprieve came anyways when she was granted permission to seek out a vessel on Earth. After much searching, she found what seemed like the perfect option: Avery Stark, a nineteen year old college student with little to no family or social life outside of her volunteer work, desperate for a purpose in life. Valentina reached out to her, subtly at first, before finally revealing her true identity as an angel. Initially hesitant, Avery eventually conceded to being Valentina's vessel.

Since that day, about a year ago, Valentina has assimilated into Avery's life with some difficulty. At first she had trouble interacting with humans, still perplexed by the nuances of conversation. More than that she was overwhelmed by (and a bit envious of) humans' possibility of choice. They could just [i]do[/i] things, on a whim, for no reason but to make themselves happy - the idea baffled her. These days Valentina spends her weekdays at school and weekends volunteering at the local animal shelter, following in Avery's footsteps. She tends to avoid speaking to people who knew Avery personally out of a sense of respect and almost guilt. [/indent]

[indent][list][*]She is definitely a night owl. This may be a trait adapted from her vessel, whose college classes were almost always held at night [*]She has a strange fashion sense, with a fondness for old-fashioned patterns and fabrics. She also likes to keep a sort of androgynous style, mixing more masculine attire like blazers and ties with typically feminine outfits.[/list][/indent]
