VALERIE COLLINS

VAL, KIT

EIGHTEEN ✚ FEMALE ✚ BISEXUAL ✚ 5'5" ✚ 126 lbs ✚ OCTOBER 23 ✚ WAITRESS

Valerie by most standards is a extremely attractive young woman, something which she knows and is proud of. She stands at a average height of 5'5" with a normal ranging weight to match. She is not exactly petite, but she does have a very slim, hourglass shape, consisting of her having D cup breasts and a slim waist, bubble butt and hip to match. There isn't many distinctive features on her body except maybe a cross shape red tattoo she has on her left breast that she had gotten as a mark of ownership by a thug she owes.

Valerie typical fashion consist of clothes that promotes as much freedom as possible, which would include shorts, sheets, tank tops, vests, etc. Still, since she isn't doing all that well financially clothing isn't something she is very up to date on or has in abundance, but she makes what she has work as people comment she natural is beautiful enough to make whatever she has work for her.

Valerie is a bit of a stoic and passive person. This is due to her having a bit of a life filled with hardships which she struggles with daily. She typically doesn't show much interest towards most things, appearing rather distant from society. She basically sees fit to focus on making at least some form of a good life for herself, her father and brother. That said, she is a bit of a workaholic, showing extreme dedication towards her work. To others she seems almost dead on a normal basis, since she does things without complaint to the point where she can be abused and not retaliate in anyway.

Still, while silent and distant mostly, Valerie is far from antisocial. She can be very social when times call for it, although typically finding he going out of her way to engage socially is not familiar. There aren't many things that fascinate her enough for her to sought it out. In conversation she still displays some stoical behavior, but she still manages to bring something to the table when it comes to conversing with others. Humor isn't one of her strong straights, but she is certainly capable of being quite jocular with others, particularly in the form of sarcastic or playful remarks. She can be a bit blunt, especially when she doesn't know a person all that well, but she still keeps her bluntness to a limited level and avoids saying it in ways that would offend others.

One might not expect it, but Valerie is actually is very alcoholic and almost addicted to drugs. She drinks and smokes a lot in order to bypass all her stress and worries very regularly, especially on the weekends. When drunk she displays basic attitude of any drunkard, with her being child-like in her ways, etc. Of course though drinking habit certainly isn't something that is wise for a person live in a place such as the Big Apple where you can get kidnapped, rape, killed, etc. She is a bit fortunate though as the worst thing that has happened to her is that she would sometimes wake up wondering where the hell she is or where the hell is her clothes.

FAMILY ✚ Ean Collins (father - forty-six), Jacob Collins (brother - nineteen)

Much of Valerie's life has been filled with quite a few hardships that make her who she is to day - a capable, intelligent, hardworking woman who, while miserable, is pleased with her life nevertheless. She has lived in New York City for her entire life, only traveling elsewhere a few times. The first dynamic part of her life was that when she was born her mother not long after had left, leaving her father, Ean, to look after her and her one year old brother, Jacob. It is because of this that her father has a dislike for both her and her brother - although the hate is especially directed towards her since he sees it as mainly her birth that caused their mother to leave.

Living as a single parent household, the job taking care of two children weighed heavily on her father, but nevertheless he bared with it even though the idea of putting her and her brother up for adoption arised in his mind many times. Nevertheless, he managed enough to get the two of them into a slight below standard life, which would include them receiving some form of schooling.

Still, him doing all of this didn't stop either of the children from being corrupted by the crazy streets of New York. By the time she was eight and her brother was thirteen, the two had started to act out as not having two stable parents in a house would would certainly make children feel the need to. Her brother started to fail in school and started getting involved in gang activity and other illegal activities. Valerie herself began to act out in school with her constantly being involved in fights in her school. She still managed to remain in school though, and then she went to high school, where, unfortunately, her violent behavior didn't cease. Thankfully though she never really did get involved with illegitimate activities like her brother did.

Her brother had at least managed to graduate from highschool as during his last year he began to take it more seriously and passed with considerable grades. Valerie unfortunately wasn't so fortunate. Besides her violence in school, while she was smart, Valerie's intelligence was always more into streets smarts and general knowledge rather than the dedicated bookwork provided in schools. She was thrown out of school on the last year before her graduation when she started a fight with one of the teacher's. Although it wasn't only the fight which got her suspended, but it was after doing some inspection was it determined that she was engaged on a personal level with the teacher, to which the man was charge for sex with a minor.

Valerie's failure to finish school was the point at which her father didn't dislike her anymore... he now hated her. Her father had thrown her out of their home, in which case she was forced to fend on her own for a while. Her brother was the one person she could have count on at that point and he helped her to find living conditions for some time. Although, the conditions weren't exactly delightful with her having to live with one of the men in her brother's gang. It at that point when Valerie began to get involved in gang activity, although her activity was more so as just one of the women who were so called "property" of the gang.

Debts quickly became a major problem for Valerie in her life after that. Her father had started to charge her rent for staying with them because of her dropping out of school. And then, her brother had been tasked one day to deliver some money for the Radio Heads gang he was apart of and lost the money. They had threatened to kill him, but Jacob had come to her in request for the money. She made a agreement with the gang to pay them off however she could and ever since she has been trying desperately to make money to support herself, etc.

- Valerie has lived with her father, Ean, and brother, Jacob, for the most of her life in a double bedroom apartment, room 0505, at Sunny Sights. There she shares a bedroom with her brother. Although, with her father having some dislike for her because he blames her for their mother, Melissa, leaving immediately after Valerie's birth, she would occasionally seek residence elsewhere whenever the two would get into fights. Unfortunately, she doesn't have any family in NYC and as such typically she would go live with whoever close friends she has in NYC.

- Valerie's lifestyle, as mentioned, isn't a favorable one presently, nor has it been for much of her life. Although she works as a waitress at a cafe in east NYC the job doesn't pay much, especially since her father requests half her money as payment and she has to pay of her brother's debts. That said, Valerie tries her best to balance other night time jobs with her day job as a waitress to make income. Currently she has a night job working as a waitress at one of the strip clubs in the city. Although, she would occasionally work as one of the dancers there whenever she needs extra cash to get her through, but other than that she prefers not to. She also has experience with doing prostitution whenever she needs extra cash, but much like stripping, she prefers not to unless really needed.

- Valerie is sort of a member of the moderately known Radio Heads gang. She didn't actually join them though and is more so one of the gangs liability or "property" due to her having depend on them a lot in the past for places to live, money, etc, as well as that her brother had lost a large portion of the gang leaders money in the past, which she agreed to pay off. That said, she makes regular down payments to the gang, and due to her having borrow money from other thugs in the past to pay them off when she came up short, she also happens to be in debt with a few other thugs here and there. Funnily, after her brother lost the money mentioned and she agreed to pay it off with his help, she puts up most of the money and he is actually on good terms with the gang as long as she continues to serve them.

- Valerie is proficient in martial arts, having taking a interest in it in her younger years and discover she had a knack for it, making her a very capable woman in combat. Still, due to her feeling that her martial arts has caused her many troubles and disappoints her father, the prime example being her getting kicked out of school for fighting, she has grown to use it almost never, sometimes preferring to get beaten to a pulp rather than raise her fist against others without a legit reason - these reasons typically would be for others rather than herself.

- Valerie's brother is sort of a lucky person, or at least so she and most people sees it. For one, her father hates her, but likes him for many reasons, in spite of his gang activities. Second, she always gets in trouble for him and ends up being the one to face the consequence, a typical example is her paying of his debt to his gang, the Radio Heads, while he remains on good terms with them, as long as she remains "their property". in spite of this she looks up and cares for her brother probably more than anyone in the world.
