Name: Valerie val Duann
Sith Name: Lady Musidora
Age: 28
Species: Human
Homeworld: Kuat
Gender: Female
Height: 168cm
Weight: 62kg
Eyes: Green
Hair: Black
Skin Color: Olive
Appearance:
Possessing light-olive skin, smooth, unblemished, and just touching on fair, Valerie is a lithe, graceful woman. Though of fairly average height, her boots often add several centimetres to her height, and her choice in clothing often gives the illusion of a taller woman. Her features are sharp and attractive, with a small nose, full lips, a well-defined chin, and high cheekbones. Valerie’s long black hair tends to emphasize her skin and bright green eyes, and she often dresses in black to further accentuate her features.
Personality:
Driven, assertive, and fiercely independent, Valerie’s noble birth reflects itself in all aspects of her life. She believes there is a proper, elegant way to conduct one’s self, and strives to act in a manner befitting her station. She is calm and collected, with a noble’s haughtiness and a stroke of arrogance.
Valerie possesses a strong ruthless streak, but even when it controls her she refuses to debase herself. This most powerfully manifests in the actions she takes when dealing with an opponent through unsavoury or illicit means. A more base individual might be satisfied with the direct approach, but as a person of higher blood and standing, Valerie feels her actions should reflect a more cultured approach. From Valerie’s perspective, acting like a common gangster to extort, blackmail, bribe etc. insults both her and her opponent, and her methods are often long, complex, and highly unique as a result.
She would never admit it to anybody else, but the fact that Valerie has a great deal of fun with her methods is just a big a factor as her feelings of obligation. She enjoys the long game - to use a (likely apocryphal) comparison, a blaster shot in the back is simply not as enjoyable as a slow-acting poison delivered in small doses across several weeks.

Backstory:
Born into a minor Kuati noble family, Valerie was the fourth of six children. Her elder siblings - two brothers and a sister - preceded her by almost ten years; her younger brother and sister followed closely behind her. Her family’s attentions were consequently never on her - her older sister was groomed to take command of the family, and her older brothers were tutored in business, law, preparing for marriage into families of higher standing; the younger siblings received the family’s care and attention. Valerie slipped through the cracks, leaving her frustrated, depressed, and alone.
She did, however, receive the same education as her siblings, training her in social politics, conduct, business, communication, persuasion, even martial training with the Kuati side-sword (which Valerie found herself taken by). Loved but overlooked by her parents, Valerie developed a fiercely independent drive, and took to her identity as nobility more strongly than the rest of the family. As she came of age, Valerie entered the business world, starting minor companies and businesses. The business world was never Valerie’s strong suit, and while her projects never floundered, they were never successful, and never stood out.
To get ahead, Valerie soon began employing more underhanded tactics. Blackmail, extortion, threats, intimidation - she rarely employed violence, though she slowly became less reluctant to, and never crossed the line of grievous bodily harm or murder. These tactics were usually successful in driving out the opposition, giving Valerie’s own projects rapid growth and success - that would quickly taper off, as customers and partners realised her companies simply weren’t that good in their own right.
This would have been the rest of Valerie’s life, mediocrity and rare glimmers of success, had it not been for a chance passing. Unbeknownst to her, Valerie once found herself passing a disguised Darth Ares, a member of the New Sith Brotherhood and a secret, but powerful, influence in Kuati affairs. The Sith Lord sensed Valerie’s latent Force potential and followed her, gleaming enough information about her to pass on to the Brotherhood for observation and possible recruitment.
This is where Valerie’s story truly begins.

As a minor member of the Kuati upper class, Valerie is recognisable to certain members of Kuat society’s upper echelons. Due to her family’s lower standing, and her own lower standing with her family, she is only recognisable to the astute.
Status: 1
As a lower-ranked member of the Kuati nobility, Valerie - primarily through her family - has a certain amount of pull within Kuati society. Her family’s expectations of her have been allayed by her ‘fortune-seeking’ journey off-world, but they naturally expect great things of her on her return.
Resources: 1
Valerie has a reasonable amount of personal capital at her disposal and, in case of emergencies, can access small amounts of her family’s funds.
Unusual Item (the Maw of the Beast): 1
A striking sculpture, the Maw of the Beast was gifted to Valerie on her 21st birthday. The abstract artwork depicts the open mouth of a great, formless beast, into which the observer feels compelled to fall. Possessing great sentimental and financial value, the artwork is Valerie’s most treasured possession, and is a highly sought-after object among artistic circles.
