Name: Valentina Luna-Crenshaw
Faction: Independent
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Personality:Valentina is a dichotomy; socially charming enough to charm chrome off a bumper and publicly loved by many of Amber Valley, while secretly one of the greatest deviants in the entire county. Intelligent and manipulative, Valentina is an alpha girl that keeps a very tight knit inner circle she feels comfortable being herself around, while careful to keep up the appearance of a golden child to everyone else. Openly sweet hearted and ever polite, behind the scenes apathetic and sarcastic. At the end of the day Amber Valley bores her, and she counts the days until she can be off to college and never, ever, come back.
History:Valentina was originally born to Antonio and Esmerelda Luna, members of ORDER from a bloodline always strong in magic. But no amount of magic could have saved the couple when Antonio fell asleep at the wheel driving back to their chicken farm from a late night meeting in town. Both were killed, though Esmerelda would linger in coma for nearly a month before she too finally lost her battle for life. The suddenly orphaned Valentina was adopted by the county Sheriff and his wife, and so Valentina had lost her connection to her true lineage and the magic in her blood, neither the Sheriff or his wife involved in the supernatural.
As the adopted daughter of such an important political figure in the community, appearances were always stressed to Valentina from a young age. Add onto that the demands put on Valentina to be the daughter they were never able to naturally conceive, and since she could recall Valentina was always playing the part of the perfect daughter to the couple that liked to pretend hemselves the perfect couple; religious and moral and community minded. Nevermind the Sheriff's drinking, or the occasional late night domestic violence that Valentina always denied, just as she was taught by her adopted parents.
The result was a girl that always acted a part to please her adopted parents to achieve their approval and love, but acted out whenever possible to rebel from a home that wasn't always loving and supportive as it appeared to others on the outside. Few girls have shoplifted more from the nearby mall than Valentina, though she's yet to be caught--call it luck, call it skill, or call it the supernatural work of energies working behind the scenes. Whatever the case, Valentina seems to hold a supernatural draw and ability to manipulate those around her.
If only she knew her blood line's magic was always aimed at supporting those around them, strengthening the resolve of their allies against the temptations and manipulations of the Demon Lord and his horde. She holds a stranglehold on the Amber Valley High varsity cheer squad, it's captain since her sophomore year--unheard of in varsity cheer for an underclassmen to hold the title as a sophomore, and rare even as the junior she now is. She also serves as a youth minister in the city's main church youth program, as well as chair of Amber Valley High's events committee since the start of her junior year--another rarity for a non-senior.
There is also no harder invite to get than Val Crenshaw's Saturday night parties.
Val has been single since her senior boyfriend of the last year graduated and went on to OU. No one seems to have her interest, though there are rumors that she's begun dating an older guy from a nearby college, and others still she's dating two senior boys at the same time, and simply wants to keep them a secret from each other.
Skills: sleight of hand/theft, lockpicking, friends in high places, athletic.
Magic: None that she is consciously aware of, though subconsciously she magically influences every relationship she has--no matter how small or major the relationship is, from acquaintance to friend to best friends to teachers and principles and city leaders. If she was aware of her abilities, it's possible she could use them for good, to augment the members of ORDER in their struggle against demonic forces.
