Description: With black face paint in a stripe pattern across her face, she is well dressed, constantly wearing a brown suit, red shirt, and black tie. Her silver hair is smooth and relatively long. Judging by the bloodshot nature of her eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine she has not slept for days.

Personality: Aggressive, abrasive, and angry, Valida embodies much of what other species detest in the Dwarves. When she's not drinking or sleeping the drinks off, she's doing singing.

History: Born to a Herbalist, her mother struggled to pay the bills. Through the years after Valida was born, her mother became increasingly distant from her family, instead choosing to pursue power in the north.
