Nickname: Valeska, Val

Name: Valeska
Age: 19
Gender/Pronouns: Female, she/her
Spirit: Kaladin the Leader
Appearance: Valeska is a tall wiry girl who stands at 5'9" with a fair complexion, not even a freckle gracing her cheeks. She has long, straight flaxen hair and icy Nordic blue eyes the same color as a fresh mountain stream. Her usual outfit consists of leather boots, pants that are a mix between green and brown, a blue tunic or handmade sweater depending on the weather, and a fluffy fur pelt she wears on her shoulders to keep the back of her neck warm. At her side she wears a hatchet and hunting knife tucked into a sturdy leather belt.
Personality: She was never home much when herding the goats and from that, learned independence and what it meant to have others rely on her for survival. She will stand up for what she thinks is right for those under her care and would never do anything that could hurt them or put them in harms way. However, goats aren't people and people often don't listen, even if she has what's best for them in mind, so she has a hard time with that sometimes, tending to be a little quiet, agreeable, and have a hard time standing up to them.
Backstory: She grew up in the far northern part of Gaeta-Tuath on a small homestead just outside civilization. She spent her days herding and taking care of the goats, one of the only livestock that did well so far north in the rocky terrain. When she took them close to the mountains, she would often find cliffs to climb in her spare time, collecting a few eggs of seabirds who had nested farther inland for breakfasts and meals. Her only source of information of the rest of the world came from those brave enough to come far north to study Mount Anam or when she went in town to sell the occasional goat, milk, or cheese. She had been born into a time of ease but was beginning to notice as the prices of simple necessities climbed higher and higher, becoming almost unobtainable. She had to sell more and more of her goats just to make sure her and her mother survived and didn't get arrested by tax collectors. Until one day, she had no more left. Her mother was a seamstress however there wasn't much business so far north along the edges of the mountains so Valeska urged her mother to move to the city and open up a shop there. The pay would be enough for her mother to survive but Valeska knew her mother wouldn't be able to support her as well so Valeska reassured her that she would be fine and went out on her own to make a life for herself. Only a couple days after she left home was when it all began.
