She has a way of smiling that lights up her face, almost infectious in its charm, carving dimples into her cheeks as it makes itself known. Her physique is slender, full of feminine curves, flattering elegance, as well as soft in that way of a woman who has never done an honest day's work in her entire life.

|Background=Valentina was born in the prestigious and now destroyed Argento family of Nilanza. Her father, a man whose's ego bruised easily, raised Valentina in envy of their overlords, the Pravus of Setarco.

Valentina's greatest achievement in her climb to power was marrying Elphonse Pravus. The young man had no chance in face of the Argento's manipulations, and although the other Pravus exhibited the sharpness of intellect their family was known for, Elphonse was almost innocent in his stupidity.

Being raised among the Sins of Setarco allowed Valentina to understand their familial structure and customs. In some ways, the Pravus were more her family than the Argento ever were, and in time she grew to enjoy the Silken City, much to the chagrin of of her Nilanzan family.
  
Not everything was easy in her seduction attempt. Valentina came to know Elphonse and despise his cowardice and lack of integrity, which both helped her detach herself from the situation and more effectively use him as a tool against his own family to undermine them.

It worked, for a while. She was part of Pravus, part of their life, and Elphonse was a thorn at his sisters' sides. Too much of a thorn, it turned out, as Valentina's creation spun out of control and turned on her as well.

Not much later House Argento rose in rebellion, but much to the surprise of most in Setara, Duchess-Consort Valentina did not pressure the Duke into yielding to his unruly vassals, and after his death she did not try to leverage her momentary rulership into peace with her own former House. Instead, she held fast while the likes of Belladonna, Gabriella and Viviana set off to do battle against the opposing host. Well-liked by the population for this showing of profound loyalty, and for giving their beloved Piero happiness again, even if for a brief period of time, Valentina was known as the Silver Sun of Nilanza.
  
Even as Nilanza was sieged after the betrayal of the Argento and Belladonna's rise to power, Elphonse seemed to take a cruel delight in the deaths of her people, even if he had done nothing to defeat Valentina's father and family, thinking his sister's exploits his. Her venom was never more dangerous than after that.

Ever since Valentina has been a supporter of House Pravus and a loyal protector of the people of Setarco, something that has made her quite beloved.

When Elphonse came crashing down, he crashed violently. Valentina only begged him to go back on his words because she thought Elphonse was the only reason she was alive. But Elphonse was stupid, irrevocably so, and kept at his sister's throat.
 
 
 
Belladonna took his head, and Valentina Pravus, born an Argento, was sure she was next. The duchess didn't strike her down, however. Then name Pravus had earned some mercy, mercy that Valentina would never have given if their roles were reversed.
 
 
 
With her young son's life at stake, Valentina hides her true intentions.  For good or bad, she was part of the dreaded family of Setarco, now.

Description

Valentina is a noblewoman through and through. Everything from her poise to her flawless complexion speaks of gentility and an easy grace so effortless it is obvious she was born for her station. Dark hair falls below her shoulders in loosely-curled cascades of dark tresses the Argento of Nilanza are known for. Her features are naturally feminine, with blue-gray eyes hinting at a storm behind them. She has a way of smiling that lights up her face, almost infectious in its charm, carving dimples into her cheeks as it makes itself known. Her physique is slender, full of feminine curves, flattering elegance.

Personality

Known to be a bit of a chinwag and a prolific gossiper, Valentina nevertheless maintains a studiously friendly and charming disposition. Engaging, though a bit painfully optimistic and not always firing on all cylinders, she is quick to provide a smile to mask other feelings. Typically avoids direct confrontations and overly-prone to flattery.

Background

Lord Francesco Argento was a demanding man, even among the Argento of Nilanza. Ever the schemer and statesman he had plans for his child even before they were born, and from the second they came into the world, Francesco took control of their life. As fate would have it, things seemed to be working, for a while, with the child becoming a squire of one of his vassal lords, and then being knighted upon reaching maturity. That is, until Lord Francesco banished his offspring to live in Setarco, never to speak of them again.

Being raised among the Sins of Setarco allowed Valentina to understand their familial structure and customs. In some ways, the Pravus were more her family than the Argento ever were, and in time she grew to enjoy the Silken City, much to the chagrin of of her Nilanzan family.

Things changed dramatically with the death of Duchess-Consort Lucia Pravus, a warrior of House Malvici known for keeping her vassals under control since her husband, Duke Piero, was particularly soft on them. As her ship vanished near Nilanza, Valentina was stricken with guilt, and in giving her support to Duke Piero during his mourning period, she wound up involving herself with the man and marrying him.

Not much later House Argento rose in rebellion, but much to the surprise of most in Setara, Duchess-Consort Valentina did not pressure the Duke into yielding to his unruly vassals, and after his death she did not try to leverage her momentary rulership into peace with her own former House. Instead, she held fast while the likes of Belladonna, Gabriella and Viviana set off to do battle against the opposing host. Well-liked by the population for this showing of profound loyalty, and for giving their beloved Piero happiness again, even if for a brief period of time, Valentina was known as the Silver Sun of Nilanza.

Ever since Valentina has been a supporter of House Pravus and a loyal protector of the people of Setarco, something that has made her quite beloved.
