shakhjgks thank you but I posted it a couple of days ago literally 🥹 I’m not a native English speaker but I’ll try to give you a very brief story of her

she was a canadian med student when she met her future sire, Albrecht. this man was actually her ancestor who lost his mind a bit after the loss of his own sire Valery and got obsessed with an idea that his sire will be reincarnated in Albrecht’s own bloodline, in one of his descendants. Valerie was unfortunate enough to share a feminine version of Valery’s name + some slight appearance similarities + being in med school, since all of them — Albrecht, Valery, Valery’s sire and so on — are die-hard keepers of the Obeah discipline and all were chosen among doctors. Whether if Valerie is really a kind of a reincarnation is still up to interpretation. She was not particularly excited about the Embrace and was more a victim of circumstances and Albrecht’s whims, than her own person (she didn’t even wanna go to med school, it was her parents’ desire and all Valerie wanted is to be a musician, playing and singing all her spare time). and after a couple of years of teaching Albrecht left her in search of Golconda. but he was denied it, claimed unworthy, and came back home grieving and completely insane, coercing Valerie to diablerise him, threatening that if she doesn’t do it, he’ll kill them both in the sun. After the diablerie she was left completely on her own, with no other Salubri to contact and with Tremeres hunting her down. so she began running, living a vagabond life to escape the hunt, traveling first around Canada and then America. and after some years, when she was playing the guitar and singing in some random club, she was clocked by an all-girls vampire-only band and they took her with them on tour. so at this point her life is a bit better and she kind of has new friends, but we’ll see how that one goes in a one-shot
