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. Spending her time doing charities and spending silver for the improvement of the lives of her people, Valentina eventually joined the family in Arx, where she could continue her rising trajectory, leaving the legacy of failure of House Argento behind as a Stormborn now among Sins.
