[color=Silver][b]Appearance[/b][/color]
[color=gray]Valette is thin, the kind of thin only one who grew up on the streets in near-poverty can be thin.  She is short of stature but after the initial rigours of the training camp she has a surprising amount of muscle on her athletic frame, enough to surprise those making the mistake of assuming her strength by her physique alone.

Her hair is the raven colour and her skin the paleness that is symbolic of the Darcsen race, to which she belongs. Her eyes are a deep blue and are usually calm, expressionless in the way many of the oppressed race have become to protect themselves.  With a rounded chin edging towards pointed and an angular jaw line, accentuated by her lack of body fat, Valette stops short of looking bony but only just.

The uniform she wears is clearly a hand-me-down but fits well enough and is in good condition, the colour is merely faded a little but still obviously of the Gallian Militia.  The insignia of her rank is the only thing new about her clothing, freshly sewn onto the chest, shoulders and collar of her uniform.  Otherwise she has gone with very little customisation, merely small metal plates at her elbows and a hidden knife sewn into the sleeve of her coat.

She has, thus far, scrupulously avoided the [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/valkyria/images/4/4a/Darscen_pattern.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110225074749]pattern symbolic[/url] of the Darcsen people.[/color]



[color=Silver][b]Personality[/b][/color]
[color=gray]Valette is honest and forthright in all her dealings although she has the nuance to avoid confrontation and keep the pace; she is, after all, a Darcsen and has had to learn such tact to get on in life.  She is proud of her heritage but does not shout about it, knowing it will only bring hate and distrust down upon her.  Loyal to a fault and caring of her comrades, Valette will take the fall and shield her teammates where possible.[/color]

[color=Silver][b]Biography[/b][/color]
[color=gray]Born in Vasel to impoverished Darcsen parents, Valette was the third child although not the last in her family.  Her parents lived with her mother's two sisters and their respective families in a single house far too small for their extended family.  The older children were depended upon to earn a living for the family with two of the fathers no longer able to work, both injured in a mining accident in Fouzen years before.

Valette went to work early in life, falling into a bad crowd and earned a living as both a cutpurse and a grocer's assistant, out of sight of course.  The eldest children all left home, starting families of their own making her parents and younger siblings and cousins further dependent on her meagre income until war broke out.  Two days later she was finally caught thieving and conscripted into the militia to avoid any conviction; her income goes entirely to supporting her family in Vasel.[/color]

[color=Silver][b]Affiliations[/b][/color]
[color=gray]Although a Darcsen, she bears no ill-will to those prejudiced against her race although she is proud of her heritage and infinitely protective of those suffering frequent abuse.  Her family are in Vasel but beyond that she has formed no other connections thus far.  She is loyal to Gallia for its, relatively, good treatment of Darcsens.[/color]
