Valerie is pretty tiny for an 11 year old kid, she is only 134 cm tall. She has ginger hair, and very fair freckles just on her nose and one tiny freckle, almost invisible just under her left brow. Her eyes are green, with hints of grey, but in some light they look almost hazel.

She seems like a very happy child, she is nice to almost everyone or at least polite. At times she seems a bit shy in a new enviroment, but that goes away fairly quickly.

Before beeing accepted to Hogwarts, she lived with her big family in a family mansion in Exeter, which is in their family for generations. She spent a lot of time with her best friend Larissa, who sadly stays at their hometown. Well at least they made a promise to write each other letters and to meet every chance they get during different holidays.

The first instance of Magic was on her 8th birthday. That day she was expecting the best gift ever. She wished for a homemade plushie, that her grandmother promised to make for her. She woke up, really excited. Grandmother was expected to arrive around noon, so she sat by the window waiting for her. When she finally arrived, grandma realised that she forgot the plushie at home. Valerie was so sad that she ran up to her room crying. She was quite upset and with that the door slam behind her. Not knowing how or why it did. Her grandmother with her mom came after a while and asked her about it. She felt a bit embarrassed and started apologising because there was no tolerance for slamming the door in their house. She explained that she didn’t do it, she didn’t even try to close the door. Her grandmother tried to calm her, thankfully she knew what happened and believed her.
