Mmmm

• Current Afflictions
  None. Mentally and Physically sound.

  
  x Name

  Valentina Venâncio

  • Pronunciation

  Val-en-tee-nah Ve-nahn-ceeo. The second "n" in her last name is spoken rather quickly with is extremely soft. It runs into the "c" almost directly.

  
  x Title(s) and Nickname(s)

  Val, Tina, Senhora, Madam Venâncio, Madame Val, Valentine. The men and women under her employ will rarely use her name in front of her, referring to her only as Senhora, Madam, or Madam Venâncio. She may choose to present herself as Valentine as opposed to her true name, but she doesn't prefer one over the other.

  
  x Age

  27, though she never openly shares this information with those beyond her confidants. The majority of her dealings is business related, and age is usually the last conversation on the table. However, if presented with the question of her age, she will answer truthfully without incident. Body frame and facial structure suggests a matured woman and can rarely be mistaken for younger than she is.

  
  x Gender

  Curves that could only belong to a woman.

  
  x Species

  Feline - Ojos Azules. An extremely rare breed of cat known for their remarkable deep blue eyes without carrying any of the defects known to be carried in adult, blue eyed cats.

  More information:

  The medium-sized Ojos Azules is known for its bluish eyes, which are large and round. The neck is arched. The tail is proportionate to the cat's body. The head is somewhat triangular in inscribe. It has a slightly rounded forehead, and an angular muzzle. The nose has a slight break. The coat is short, fine, soft, silky, and shiny, and is very beautiful. The undercoat is not particularly developed but most are dense in color. All colors are allowed. White markings are common on most extremities (tip of the tail, muzzle, and paws). However, belly spots or chest spots are not acceptable, and are considered faults. Particolors have a white tail tip. Solid white coats are not desirable, as they cannot be distinguished from common white, blue-eyed cats. Note that white, blue-eyed Ojos Azules are not deaf like most common white, blue-eyed cats. In addition, other than cats of the Ojos Azules breed, only white or colorpoint cats can have blue eyes.

  x Social Status

  Prefers not to recognize herself as any true caste. As long as she is living comfortably with her business in a flourishing state, she's happy. When people step into her business or home, they're social status means little to nothing. Whoever provides the most coin is king, with her regarded as goddess in terms of importance. Her word, in her home and place of business, is law. Out in the real world, however, she dresses comfortably and interacts with everyone equally. Slave, noble, prince, king, everyone is held in the same regard.

  
  x Marital Status

  Uninvolved and doesn't expect to be. Her lifestyle and line of business hardly supports a healthy relationship. She is polyamorous by nature, but does not plan to truly court any one of her suitors.

  
  x Sexuality

  Has a strong preference for men. As long as they are attractive, build is irrelevant to her with only one stipulation; they must be taller than she is. With that said, her preferences hold little to no merit in her occupation. In that, she often ignores her preference with the promise of coin. She will, however, be pickier in her choice of woman. Only those who carry themselves in the highest regard will win her favor.

  
  x Occupation

  Owns and manages Garden of Eden, a cat-house/speakeasy passed down to her in the previous owner's dying wish. Previously worked as an escort, herself, and managed the bordello alongside Madam Rivera until her dying day. Occasionally, she will work on the side as an entrepreneur of small business ventures such as merchant trade.

• Physical Information:

  
  x Height

  5 feet 7 inches. Height fluctuates with choice of footwear.

  
  x Weight

  Can usually be found somewhere around 140 pounds, which includes the weight of her tail. Depending on diet, time of year, mood, her weight can fluctuate on either side as much as 10 pounds. During the higher end of the scale, she can often found in a bit of a mood becoming snappy and sometimes harsh.

  
  x Build

  Valentina's famous curves were forged from the heart of Brazil. Women from the South American country are known for their exaggerated builds with neatly tucked waists and flared bottom halves. She sports the quintessential frame from this area with no proper corset training. Bust is of modest size, not at all overbearing. Stout legs and a strong back support a rather generous backside. Very light toning can be found set into arms and calves which suggest an active lifestyle, but padding on hips, thighs, and rear take away from any true visage of athleticism. Looks, however, can often be deceiving!

  
  x Measurements

  32"-20"-38"

  
  x Distinguishing Features

  Bright, deep-set blue eyes that pop against her smooth, black fur. Ojos also are known for their tails comparable to the length of their body with thick, shining fur. Tail also has a flat tip if felt through the fur.

  
  x Physical Strengths

  Draws many of her strengths from the simple fact that she's feline. Excellent night vision, sensitive hearing, heightened sense of smell and taste, strong legs, stamina, flexibility, sure-footedness (sometimes), and general balance.

  
  x Physical Drawbacks

  While she has many skills that suggest an active lifestyle, Val is not particularly strong. A strong kick would likely be all she could muster physically. Besides, she's a lover, not a fighter. Can also be a tad clumsy if trying something a bit too ambitious. Needless to say this has resulted in a few embarrassing moments.

  
  
  
  
• Detailed Information:

  
  x Fur

  As is standard for the Ojos Azules, her coat is short with fine fur and luxurious sheen. It is soft but thick in terms of strand per inch. It is of a dark, pure black with not a single marking or deviation of color. Color and Shine

  
  x Hair

  Valentine's hairstyle changes nearly as often as she changes her wardrobe. The deep red wine, waist length tresses are often manipulated into finger waves, ringlets, pin curls, buns and various updos. Just as she accessorizes her body, her hair is no different. Bows, pins, chains, baubles, and often small top hats can be found in or upon the cherry locks.

  

  
  x Cosmetics

  Because of her dark fur and features, cosmetics are sometimes hard to come by unless they are on those full lips. Various shades depending on her outfit can be seen upon them, ranging anywhere from the subtlest pink to the most brash red. She favors a blush wine color and a deep crimson, but can also be seen in outlandish colors such as orange and purple depending on the holiday/occasion. She does sometimes manage to find color that can stand out upon her eyelids, and will wear eye shadow if the opportunity presents itself. Khol will occasionally line the inside of her lids to give a more dramatic look. Her naturally black nose can sometimes be seen painted a carnation pink.

  
  x Signature Scent(s)

  Hypnotic - An audacious harmony of caraway spice, cinnamon, vanilla, musk, sambac jasmine, and Jucarunda wood. The extravagant and rich potion can be often described as hypnotizing and enticing.
  
  Sinner - Creamy vanilla offset with fresh white flora, delicate orange blossom, crisp mandarin, and topped off with a blend of warmed jasmine. Earthy vetiver acts as a woody undertone and a sensual musk causes the mixture to linger deep within her fur.
  
  Noir - A sumptuous fusion of Gardenia and amber, creating a gentle but long lasting scent reminiscent of the orient.
  
  Euphoria - One of her favored scents, created with the confidence she herself exudes. Black orchid, champaca flower, blossomed lotus, warm amber, mahogany, black velvet, cream, and a pinch of persimmon and pomegranate create this sensual perfume.

  x Voice and Accent

  
  x Spoken Languages

  Portuguese: Her native tongue. Speaks, reads, and writes flawlessly. Can translate to and from this language without issue.
  Common: A necessary language to learn for her line of work. Can speak, read, and write without issue, though her accent does prevent a completely articulate speech pattern. She is not hard to understand in the slightest, but syllables will sound different than a native speaker.
  Spanish: Used quite frequently in Brazil, despite the fact that it is not a common tongue. Since the languages are very similar, it was not very difficult for her to learn. Can speak, read, and write flawlessly since her native tongue is nearly identical. Can translate to and from with a bit more thought.
  Italian: Sentence structure and some basic words are similar. It is a work in progress, but it is not a language very difficult to learn considering the similarities to her more fluent tongue. Can read with some level of ease, speak and communicate with thought and patience, but is still practicing the written word and sentence structure. Can translate from Italian to Spanish, Portuguese, and Common, but it takes some time to do the reverse.

  x Residence

  Keeps a personal suite in Garden of Eden. The establishment is her home, and though she will occasionally travel she will always come back to Eden. Occasionally, she will keep quarters on the island of Guildereim in the House of the Golden Moon.

  
  x Family
  Parents - Father: Antonio Venâncio. Alive and well at the age of 62. No longer keeps in contact despite his constant attempts to reach out to her.
  Mother: Veronica Venâncio. Alive and well at the age of 50. Left her father soon after Valentina's trade and no one has heard from her since. More than likely hiding under a different name and remarried.
  Siblings: One sister, Beatriz Venâncio. Alive and well at the age of 32. Keeps in contact sparingly by way of courier. While her sister does not approve with her line of work, she still finds herself curious as to her well being on occasion.
  
  x Astrological Sign

  Gives the birth date of February 14. Since the woman isn't known for her honesty, it could very well be a fib. Either way, she chooses to celebrate her date of birth on this day whether or not it's true. This would make her an Aquarius.

  
  x Likes

  The color red or pink, heart shaped items, fine wine (preferably sauvignon), naked men (or women), coin, receiving gifts, lace, top hats, jewelry, extremely soft fur, rich coffee, music (particularly the harp or piano), cranberry juice, good entertainment, strippers, warm bodies in her bed, hot baths, perfume, fruit salads, cheesecake (would go out of her way for it), apples, sheer material, pearls, traveling, snow, laughing, etc.

  
  x Dislikes

  Being swindled, losing money without promise is regaining it later, the color green, horrible smelling candles or incense, disobedience, obvious lies, people who are too proud, royalty who forces their titles on people, bland parties, limp drinks, limp.... anything.

  
  x Overall Attitude

  What's business without a little fun? Valentine runs a very high class outfit, and because of the large expectations she requires of herself and her girls, she can be seen as very strict and sometimes callous. That isn’t to say that she is like that in nature. She can be very sweet, loving, and caring even if it is sometimes forced. She’s very personable, enjoys starting conversations and meeting new people though her love and desire for wealth is sometimes very apparent. Best words to describe her would be catty, smug, playful, good-natured, fun-loving, self involved, money hungry, and flirtatious.

  
  x Weapons

  She is not well trained in any weaponry, though she does keep a weapon or two for "just in case" situations. Since the women of Eden deal mostly with men, it's important that each of them possess (whether on their person or in their quarters) a small blade in case things get out of hand. While this is not common in brothels, she's seen the consequences first hand of not having the option to arm oneself.

  
  

  Poseidon - A seemingly innocent fan. It is actually a war fan with sharp edges for cutting. She does not actually know the proper way to use it, only to use the sharp edge on the opponent. That's what's important, right? *She does have a few varities of war fan, but Poseidon is her favorite.

  Bella and Donna - Twin stiletto daggers with hearts cut through the handle. She's never had to use them, but she does keep them close at hand.
