Appearance
Valentina has an ghostly appearance, looking lost constantly. She sports the same clothing as she did when she died, a black satin dress and jewelry. However, its obviously ruined, her tights ripped up and her dress barely holding itself together. She generally looks disheveled, almost in shock. her brown hair, which once had been put into a sleek bun, was now matted and messy. She clearly has bruises down her arms and a bruise where a hand once rested around her neck.
Personality
She seems to be a shell of herself, wandering and even pretending she was still alive- almost in denial of her death and not even recounting how it happened. She's quiet, finding herself seeking answers by simply wandering, hoping that someone speaks of what happened to her, to know why she died or even who she was. shes honest, but finding herself careless and wishful.
Valentina Hayes was a human when she was alive. It was just her and her mother Rose after her family chastised her for getting pregnant when she wasn't married, Rose not even knowing who the father might be after whoreing herself for money. Valentina didn't grow up with money, finding herself stealing so that her mother and her would eat- or begging. She didn't go to school or anything, but Rose tried her best to give her what she could, and Valentina found herself trying to work hard to make cash.
Eventually she met a man. A man she called the love of her life. He had more money than she did, taking care of Val and her mother with the cash he had inherited. It was amazing, Val found herself falling deeper into love with the man, doing things she wouldn't usually do just for him.
Except, she was tied to him by an unspoken contract- one he used against her. She fell into addiction, something the man had introduced and Val got quickly into. She found herself taking all kinds of drugs for feeling, to feel better when her boyfriend would do things she didn't want to do. Val became used to it, falling into the habit until her mother died.
Once her mother had died, she got only worst, before realizing how bad it had gotten because of the man she now called her husband. Val didn't have a lot, but she knew she couldn't do this anymore. She begged her husband to let her leave, but after his many refusals, she yelled and cussed him out one day and demanded a divorce after a date. He decided that she wasn't allowed to, beating her and then when she still held strong, he choked her and used her body for his own pleasure. She ended up dying during it, and the man she loved simply threw her into the back of his truck and dumped her outside the city, never to be found again. Her husband claimed that she must of ran away, and nobody ever found the truth.
Valentina came back as a ghost, standing in the house where her husband once lived. She had no recollection of what had happened- however she felt the ache in her bones, her body. Val knew she was dead, however trying to carry on as if she never died, trying to speak and do things a normal human would. Except, she couldn't. She still wanders, a husk of herself and only really knowing her name: Valentina.
