A paladin fueled by her convictions, at her height, Valoria was a warrior of monstrous strength and speed, her Hero and Humanity domains expressing themselves primarily in a mastery of every form of martial art and the realm of personal enhancement, enough so to hurl mountains at her foes and brute-force through the divine protections of other gods with her bare fists. The only beings faster than she were those with dedicated talents in domains near directly associated with speed such as Lightning or Light. She was able to call forth and use proficiently any weapon conceptualized by mankind, and beasts of war yielded to her call without hesitation. In particular, she commanded a stallion named Buckshot, who would grow to become a divine steed during the course of her ascension, one she could call upon at any time and who could never truly perish, such was their bond.

Her sense of empathy and care for humanity expressed itself through powerful healing abilities, which she used judiciously with no care for repayment or the cost to her personal power. She could identify and banish the most horrific diseases and poisons with a single glance, exterminate plagues from entire regions with a wave of the hand. No matter how grievous the wound, merely uttering a prayer powerful enough to be noticed would see the ailment cured with a thought, no matter when or where or what she was doing upon receiving it. She would even resurrect the dead just as casually, so long as they hadn't reached the end of their mortal lifetime. And though she was capable of reversing the effects of old age, she rarely did so in order to avoid stepping on the toes of a plethora of death gods, who she was already at odds with.

Valoria was well known for embodying a certain aspect of many human tales of victory over the obscenely powerful. In particular, she was known for overcoming even those that conventionally outclassed her by sealing them away, trapping some of her most powerful foes in various locations across the world. At one time, she confronted the Great Demonic Serpent god, Thragg, who had been cruelly fouling the lands with his venom. Their clash quickly proved that his venom was stronger than her healing and would see to his victory in an extended battle. Resolved, Valoria hurled her spear from the sky, pinning the serpent's head into the sea-floor with a thunderous blow. with her sword, she cleaved the tops off nearby mountains and hurled them down on top of the trapped god, and with her power imbued into them and the sacrifice of her beloved spear, her enemy and his venom were safely contained until death finally found the gods.

At one time in an age long past, Valoria was a mere mortal, a farm girl who sought to take her sickly father's place during her country's military draft. Disguising herself as a man at the time and pretending to be a long-lost son, she joined the army and entered into a period of war, during which she established herself as exceptionally talented and came to particularly loathe the loss of life.

When the war ended, she swiftly retired from military service and set to traveling the lands, seeking to make some sort of repentance for the amount of blood she had shed for the sake of a single person. She developed a powerful sense of justice and in preserving as many lives and long as possible, throwing herself near recklessly at any threat that crossed the path of humans. Dire beasts, dragons and just plain abominations against all that lived, she overcame them all, often at great personal injury, which she would devote time to learning to heal. Eventually, it came to a head, when she came to the distinct -and not necessarily incorrect- conclusion that the gods were threats to humanity and killed one. Though she was unaware, she was already worshiped before that point, and without that power, she would have failed. As it was, however, barely surviving and having her wounds unintentionally bathed in divine blood was enough to push her over the edge into full divinity, and those same wounds would develop into permanent scars and symbols of the trial she had endured.

From that point on, she declared a one-goddess crusade against any god that tyrannically oppressed humanity, regardless of any good they might do or how integral to society and the order of the cosmos they might seem. If they were a threat to her charges, she sought them out and did battle. It was not always to the death certainly. At times, Valoria would come to an accord or even ally long-term enough to form a pantheon. At other times, she might delay challenging them entirely if she didn't think she could win, far from eager to invite unnecessary calamity upon the earth. Though her cause and goals might have seemed reckless or suicidal, she was far from unwise and tempered her hatred for the oppression of humanity with a cynical acknowledgement of her own limits, continuing to increase and hone her own power. In time, and with sometimes tentative or reluctant alliances formed with various gods across the board, Valoria came to an equilibrium.

Instead of making war with the gods recklessly, she would repair the aftermath of their destruction, healing and resurrecting the victims and helping them pick up the pieces. Though this made her few friends among the death gods, it was better than fighting an unending war against the entire heavens, and so she came to finally occupy a position in the divine world that the other gods could at least tolerate on the whole, only taking up arms in truth for particularly egregious and actively malicious threats. In this way, in focusing on her aspects of healing rather than war, Valoria came to mend some of the bridges she'd burned with the divine and become more beloved than ever before by humanity, something that caused her worship and power to skyrocket. It reached a point where she became known as almost something of a pacifist, one that very few were willing to provoke, given how much power her popularity with humanity had given her.

Valoria is extremely concerned by the event that, as far as she is concerned, imprisoned the gods. By all accounts, they were never truly killed; or at least, that is her theory. And while her fellows seem more concerned with rebuilding their power and enjoying the moment, Valoria is more worried about preventing humanity -brought to ruin twice over in her absence- from ever being bereft of her divine protection again.
