To say that Valentina is short is an understatement, tiny works best to describe Valentina Katona's height. Standing at only 1.57m (or 5'1") and weighing in the lower 100lbs, Valentina sports a tiny unassuming figure that is only hidden by Valentina's love for high heels. Her body is somewhat curvy, an hourglass figure that adds more definition to her chest and hip area than someone would expect. Not that she lacks in either department, but a little more definition doesn't hurt anybody right?
When focusing on Valentina's face, the first thing someone will notice is her eyes. Sultry, almond shaped eyes in the lightest shade of blue and framed with defined, dark brown brows that simply add to her already shapely features. Valentina's smouldering lips have a natural pout to them, a rosy shade of pink that look positively sinful to the other (and possibly the same) sex. With a defined nose and jawline, it's safe to say that Valentina doesn't have to worry much about her appearance - especially when she works hard to maintain such perfection.
Her skin is clear, with hints of freckles dusting her forehead that she usually covers up with make-up. Her face is framed with dark brown hair that reaches past her shoulders in smooth waves. Her hair, while dark, has hints of faded blonde at the end that hint at Valentina's experimentation phase a few years ago.

Valentina's style, while simple, is definitely on the flashy side. She loves to look pretty, and she loves to show off. Her closet is filled with in-trend clothes, even more so heels. If there's something that Valentina considers her "statement piece" would be her heels - no matter where she goes Val will always be seen in them. Hey, they make her legs look toned not to mention add a few inches to her hopeless height so why not?
Dresses, skinny jeans and all sorts of cutesy clothing is what Valentina loves the most. While cute, she does make an attempt to keep her outfits professional while at work. If her outfit is not perfect, Valentina will refuse to step outside of her room.
Make-up wise, it's mostly kept natural. She finds there to be no point to wear makeup unless she has to cover up imperfections such as her forehead freckles, undereye bags or a few annoying spots that refuse to leave her alone. The only thing that Valentina loves to experiment with is her shade of lipstick. With her lips, it's a given that Valentina's favourite thing to do (with makeup) is to wear all sorts of pinks, reds and purple lipsticks.

Valentina is a natural leader, so full of passion and charm that she does well in holding the attention of many - whether it be children or other adults. While she doesn't actively search for attention, nor does she shy away from the spotlight when it's on her. Her pretty girl facade is really just that; a facade. Valentina may appear to be confident in her own skills and self, she's very insecure and highly undecisive. Being a people-person, Valentina thinks about the reactions of others before commiting to an action and is quite prone to overthinking and overeacting without intending to.
Valentina is a social butterfly, and loves to interact with other people and simply be in the presence of a crowd even if she's not talking. She fears being alone, making her the type to always stick to someone in a public setting just so she wouldn't feel like she's by herself. Valentina, as mentioned earlier, is a people-person and that means she always thinks about others before herself. Her actions and thoughts are always centred around 'what other people would think', or 'could someone be hurt by the consequences of my actions'. Valentine takes a while to make a decision, and even if she does, she's never sure whether she's made the right one and is always ready to switch if given the opportunity (or a reason) to.
Her perfectionism can be compared to OCD by those not familiar with the disorder. She craves control, and that craving comes in the form of keeping everything in perfect order. Planning meticulously to each detail, whether it be her work or her outfit, or keeping her work station tidy with a perfect system that works for her. Valentina easily gets stressed when she doesn't have the control, when she cannot make things perfect and that can easily lead to a burn out - coupled with her over-thinking nature. Valentina's need for perfection may also alienate her from those that think her to be too controlling or annoying, which adds to her insecurity.
Valentina is a passionate altruist to a fault. If she can help someone out, she will and she will die trying to fix a problem for you. She's very loyal to her loved ones, so you can expect Valentina to go up and beyond expectations when it comes to helping someone out. Her altruist nature makes her want to lead the way to a brighter future, which is exactly how she does by taking up a job as a primary school teacher.

Unsurprisingly, Valentina Inez Katona was born on a chilly Valentine's day to MΓ‘rton Katona Jr, the Senior Vice President at a bank, and to Lilien Katona, an ex-model turned housewife. Valentina was the second daughter to be born into the family, the first born, Mirella, only three years her elder. With their father's high position, there was very little worry for money. The Katona's were not the type to unecessarily spend their money despite their financial status, but instead the girls were raised to be mindful of their spending - a lesson that stuck to Valentina even today.
Education and competitions were everything to MΓ‘rton, and it was something that he passed onto his daughters during their time growing up. If they weren't flashy with their money, they certainly were when it came to the children's academic (or in Val's case, sporting achievements). In the Katona household, coming first was the only option and the girls weren't going to question it. This is probably where Valentina's need for control and perfection comes from, so possible daddy issues anyone?
Anyway, for the first decade of Valentina's life, nothing but being the best mattered. At least not until little Daniel was born when Val was seven and Mirelle ten. Well, winning was still important, but the spotlight was shifted from Valentina to the newborn. At least until when Val turned 14 anyway.
Val and her family moved to the US after her father got promoted to the Managing Director at their sister US branch in Miami. Things were still going well for not-so-little Valentina, even after the sudden shift in her routine. She was enrolled to the local high school where she joined the Cheer squad and met Chloe Jameson. The two clicked, and Val found herself sticking to her friend even past high school and into college where she went on to study English and earn her teaching qualification.
Currently Val's happily single, living with her cutie of a dog in a comfortable studio apartment. She's also recently landed her first job as an English teacher teaching primary school children.

β Hmm, I haven't watched anything other than the Jungle Book so I'll just say that lol
β Val was the shy, introverted bookworm when she joined high school, which surprised her family seeing as she joined the high school cheer squad the very next day (the cheerleading helped get over her anxiety from being in a new place)
β She hopes to get a tattoo on the inside of her wrist, but hasn't decided on the design yet
