[edit] Biography

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Valeria was born in a small village in the Great Forest. She always wished to make it big in the real world and has been practicing swordsmanship since her youth. By luck she was able to study the Falcon Style Fencing under master Roundier Haia in Kanakan and perfected the style. After that, she entered the Scarlet Moon Army and was placed under Kwanda Rosman as a Lieutenant. However, when Kwanda started burning the forest with the Burning Mirror, Valeria decided to defect and tried to convince the Elves to stand up against him. However, she was instead captured and imprisoned by the elves. In prison she mets Hero McDohl and decided to join forces with the Liberation Army. The party escaped with the help of Sylvina and they were able to win the trust of the Dwarves. As the party was heading back to Toran Castle, they were ambushed by Imperial Soldiers. The soldiers demanded that the rebels hand over Valeria and Valeria volunteered to leave. However, the Imperial Soldiers broke the agreement and tried to capture the Hero. Just when all hope was lost, Mathiu Silverberg brought the Liberation Army with him to attack Pannu Yakuta. The Imperial Soldiers scurried off in terror. Valeria was freed and after the Liberation Army defeated Kwanda's army in battle, Valeria volunteered to enter Pannu Yakuta to defeat Kwanda Rosman. Shortly after, Pannu Yakuta was liberated.

Since then, Valeria was a powerful force within the Liberation Army and after they were victorious, Valeria was named as one of the new Six Great Generals for the Toran Republic. In her new capacity, she participated in Toran's war against Tinto and South Window and was also chosen as the general for the military aid sent to the Dunan Allied Forces by the orders of President Lepant. After she came to Dunan, she met with her rival, Anita. Anita was also a student of Roundier Haia and the two often got into fights due to their different ideas on being a swordmistress. However, they could always be found in the bar, drinking together. After the Dunan Unification War, Valeria went back to Toran to continue her duties.
