--history; --Valerie was born into a wealthy family, the second child of Edgar and Marie Von Strauss. She was always a spoiled little girl, the pride and joy of her parents. Valerie and her older brother were always close, but things became... just odd when the two were still young. Valerie had met someone in the forest, an older woman who would tell her things, things about magic. It was then that Val started practicing black magic, despite her tender age of seven. Not long after, Rupert was involved in a terrible accident and stopped talking, becoming somewhat fearful of his younger sister. She only grew more and more manipulative of him though.
When Valerie was nine years old, her younger sister was born. Suddenly Valerie was no longer the most important and she wasn't too happy about sharing with this little demon who took over. Valerie began practicing voodoo and, soon after, her baby sister mysteriously died. This devastated the family and in her family's mourning, Valerie just become more and more angry. Unable to deal with the pain of sucha cruel life, Lady Von Strauss grew sicker an sicker in her grief, finally letting go of life when Valerie was twelve years old. By then though, her family had long since moved on, seeing her as nothing but a burden on them.
It was the wishes of he father that Valerie marry well, but she went for year without doing so. Something about her always scared her lovers away. Valerie's first marriage ended tragically with her husband's death, but people don't know the actual story behind it. She had caught her dear husband in bed with another woman and, in her fury, used her black magic to end both of their lives.
A few years after her father's death, Valerie married again and this time, she married better than her father had ever imagined. She married the King of Faylinn. Valerie's greed grew, though she was always careful not to show her true colors around her husband. Her step daughter was something else though. For a few years, Valerie watched Mercy blossom into a girl so gorgeous that any man would kill to have her. No matter what Valerie did though, she never seemed to be able to rid herself of the girl.
It wasn't until the end that her husband, King Christopher, began to see what she really was. He did not live long enough to do anything about it though for the King, although he had always been an excellent huntsman, died after a terrible hunting incident. On his death bed, he told one of his men that is was his wish that his son, John take the throne after him as it was now his time and he was the rightful heir. Seizing her chance for ultimate power, Valerie performed her darkest of magic... seduction, convincing this man to support her in taking the crown.
The moment that Valerie took the throne, she declared her stepchildren as outlaws, telling people that the two had plotted the death of their father. She wanted them dead and she wasn't going to give up until she literally had their hearts on a platter at her dinner table. --
