Sarcastic, arrogant, headstrong and stubborn to the core, Val is definitely not the easiest person to get along with. She has a sharp tongue, colorful vocabulary and a blunt demeanor that ultimately builds up her abrasive personality. The word coward is not in her vocabulary (unless it involves talking about feelings, then it's a whole other story), as Val is not one to back away from challenge or a confrontation. Her persistence, determination and strong will are traits bestowed upon her by the generations of strong female figures in her family, whom she looks up to and hopes to join someday. From her father, she learned to always be unapologetically herself, to block off the haters or take matters into her own hands... literally.

But as it often happens, there is more to Valeria than the aggressive, confrontational girl you see glaring around the halls. On the flip side, Val is definitely one of the most loyal people you will ever know, and will stand by her friends and loved ones through thick and thin. Around her trusted few, she is laid-back, with an easy sense of dark humor and always down for a fun time. Although she is not the most affectionate of people, Val can be soft, gentle and sweet when wants to be. She is a girl of strong emotions and burning passions, which she keeps a secret until the right person comes around. In meantime, you get to deal with the Sour Patch Kid.

💣 The resting bitch face
💣The full lips always puckered up in a pout
💣 The gold necklace with the ruby heart and diamond crown pendant.

Learn how to be less of an emotional coward and just say how she really feels, even if it means being rejected.

Never call Valeria short unless you would enjoy having your face slashed by her long claws nails. She knows she's only five feet tall-- don't remind her.

💣 Rolling her eyes at basically everything.
💣 Will look away at an imaginary camera "The Office" style when someone makes a dumb comment.
💣 Has an unhealthy obsession with peppermint chewing gum and cherry-flavored lollipops.

💣 Playing around with hair, nails and makeup- Not because she needs it, but because emphasizing what's already flawless is always fun.
💣 Working Out- Gotta release all the annoyances somehow.
💣 Spending time with friends- There's nothing better than sharing laughter and building memories with her homies.
💣 Spending time by the beach- Her happy place, her sanctuary, her second home.
💣 Motorcycle Racing, Surfing & Skating- It's not just a hobby: it's a way of life.

Traveling the world alongside her soulmate, taking photos and building memories along the way.

Opening up to someone, showing the insecurities and vulnerability underneath her 'tough girl' exterior only to have her trust be breached.
