------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Psychological Profile:
Observant: Valerie has developed an exceptional sense of situational awareness, allowing her to discover patterns and things that are out of place with ease. Based on her observational skills, she is able to catch subtle inconsistencies in both camouflage and disguises. She knows what to look for and can with relative ease pick out things that don't belong. Using her skills of observation, she is also able to plan and adapt accordingly, allowing her to see the bigger picture rather than getting tunnel vision.
Peak Physical Condition: Through both her line of work and her constant drive to improve herself, Valerie has maintained a peak physical condition and when not on assignment constantly looks for new mountains to climb and routes to run in all sorts of altitudes and climates. A regular marathon runner when given the chance, she continues to strive for excellence. In addition to her standard physical conditioning, she practices Zavat and Echani regularly. As a field operative she holds her ability to protect herself and be a living weapon seriously.
Crack Shot: Not only has she developed her skills, honing her mind and body as a weapon but numerous hours spent both at the range and in the field training has allowed her to become an expert at utilizing small arms from a hand blaster to a heavy slug rifles. She is well versed in many types of firearms whether blasters or slug throwers in both defensive and long range shooting. She has performed numerous times in various shooting competitions around the First Order.
Actress: Valerie has spent her entire life acting, even as a child she loved drama. It served her well. Using her skills as an actress, she has become very good at persuading people to see things her way, implanting ideas in other's heads and then getting them to think of them as their own idea. This has especially helped her in her current occupation. She is able to mask her emotions well, queuing up tears or a grin on command.
Competitive: Valerie has always been competitive from playing games as a young child to her performance as an adult. While this can be a strength, pushing her to limits she herself didn't even know she could surpass, it can also be a weakness. Her competitive nature doesn't usually ever let up and can cause rifts between her and others.
Short Stature: Always one of the shortest, her small stature has given her both an advantage and disadvantage. In many ways it allows her to enter places an average sized person would be too large to fit into but in the same stroke it prevents her from reaching things a normal height person may be able to reach with ease. Due to her short stature, she commonly is overpowered if she fights strength with strength, learning the Martial Arts of the Chiss and Zavat have allowed her to overcome this problem most of the time.
Emotionally Distant: A defense mechanism, Valerie has developed a natural neutrality towards her emotions. That isn't to say she doesn't feel them but she has grown distant from them, typically denying them rather than expressing them outwardly. It is part of what enhances her acting, by remaining at arm's length from the true emotion and yet feeling them all the same, she stores those feelings for later, calling upon them when it is either time to cry or time to laugh. While this helps her, it can also be difficult for her to open up to anyone or express her feelings.
Manipulative: Years of acting and not truly expressing her emotions have led Valerie to become very self centered. Though she is dedicated to the First Order, in her personal life she has become manipulative, commonly only interacting with those who serve her a purpose or provide enjoyment. The moment someone becomes useless in her eyes is the moment she starts cutting the rigging. It can be great when she uses this in line with her work, but it can cause problems when in social situations.
Loss of Identity: Outside of her work, Valerie struggles with who she really is. Over time, many assumed identities, she has lost touch with herself, commonly finding herself wondering who she is and who she has become. When she became an agent for the First Order, it was under the assumption that her family would assume she had been killed. As family had been a significant factor of her identity she has conceded much, instead forming her identity around her work. As such, social expeditions of her own outside of work, can be somewhat difficult for her.
Distrust: In her line of work, true trust is a luxury she can't afford. When your life could depend on the trust you have with someone, Valerie finds it's much more reliable to trust yourself and yourself alone. She finds it excessively difficult to trust anyone and approaches most with a genuine distrust. If 0 were a neutral on the trust scale, she'd approach others at a negative rating.
Paranoia: In part to her distrust, she is paranoid. This isn't just your run of the mill, "I don't like to sit with my back to a window", this is "I locked my house when I left, and I make sure the piece of hair I wedged in the crack is still where I left it before I locked up" paranoid. She is constantly looking for any indication of tampering, bugs, any sort of indication that someone has discovered her true identity or her cover has been compromised. As this is her 'normal' she is typically running at high stress levels.
APPEARANCE:
Valerie has become a master of blending in to her surroundings. She can go from being dolled up, makeup, heels, dress to rough around the edges, dirt and grime along with a sturdy pair of boots or work shoes. Typically however she falls somewhere inbetween, her hair usually dark, eyes naturally brown. She stands a little shorter than most but makes up for it with subtle changes to her wardrobe to make herself appear taller. She is very much athletic and while she has a lot of strength her arms and legs are not unnaturally bulky but rather shaped and toned.
BIOGRAPHY:
Valerie Kordova grew up in First Order space, attending state sponsored schools and participating in athletics. All around she was quite the student, participating in most sports in some form and additionally finding the time to participate in drama. The latter was her favorite class. She became quite the young actress, even winning an award for a local play production, a drama on the life and death of some political figure in the Order's history. As a younger child, her family was her life, her brother Edward and sister Sara. They grew up together, each one only a year apart, Valerie being the oldest of the three. Eventually signing on to join the First Order military, she excelled passing even her peers. Originally her parents had secretly been un-supportive but in public they pushed her forwards, not wanting to disappoint the state.
Initially she was on track to become a Naval Officer, spending time aboard ships. That changed about halfway through her academy days when she was approached by a member of the clandestine FOSB. She jumped at the chance. It wasn't easy for her... there were stipulations. As part of the FOSB there were realities of life that were unavoidable. If her family still knew she was alive, they could be used to hurt her, to extract information from her. As such, there was a report submitted, a grave for her on Dosuun and a First Order Flag upon her family's hearth. To them, she had died in an unfortunate training accident... but nothing could be farther from he truth. Valerie now operates under various assumed names and personalities, using those skills she's developed to extract information, sometimes forcibly, other times persuasively.
