[b]NAME:[/b]
'Valerie' when face-to-face, 'MalO' on the internet.

[b]AGE:[/b]
Unclear, although she's been around since [i]at least[/i] 1992.

[b]SPECIES:[/b]
E-Cryptid/Therianthrope

[b]GENDER:[/b]
Female

[b]SEXUAL ORIENTATION:[/b]
Not something she generally considers. No strong feelings any which way.

[b]APPEARANCE:[/b]
Valerie can be a scary presence at first glance. What with her milky, glowing eyes, shaggy fur and the fact that her face is covered by a skull, but a further look will reveal a much gentler indivdual. She tends to wear clothes that cover up the scariest parts of herself, with big, bulky hoodies or shirts, hats, scarves, and all manner of other concealing garments.

[b]OCCUPATION:[/b]
Freelance coder. Slight NEET.

[b]HOW:[/b]
A funny little thing about being an E-Cryptid is that much of what the internet knows, [i]you[/i] know. As well concealed as Foxbridge is, it's not invisible to the all-seeing hive mind of the net. All Valerie needed was the faintest sniff of a town where monsters were welcome, and she could follow the breadcrumbs on her own.

[b]PERSONALITY:[/b]
Valerie is not an aggressive person. In fact, she's rather the opposite. Shy, reserved and quiet, she hangs in the corners of the cafe on her laptop, trying not to draw attention to herself and talking to those that she already knows. Despite this frigid exterior however, she's really a big softie on the inside.

Valerie [b]adores[/b] petting, and not of the lewd kind either. Scratches behind her ears, belly rubs, pats on her head, all of it she adores and all of it she secretly wants quite badly. Her offputting outward form has gotten her burnt in the past, and so now she doesn't approach people, but anyone who gives her the time of day can find themselves with a firm friend.

[b]SMALL BIO:[/b]
To Valerie, the chance of being amidst people who didn't hate her based on her appearance was a dream. She had hidden herself in buildings most of the time, trying to avoid showing herself anywhere because of how she was treated. Foxbridge was perfect for her- a place where her weirdness was normal and nobody even batted an eye at the giant, skull-faced wolf lady. Hell, sometimes she even got a pat on her head, and that was more than good enough for her. Foxbridge might not be perfect, but it's much better than the outside world.
