Username: Rosary
Real name: Valerie Martinez
Age: 40 (37 at the start of SAO)
Gender: Female
Height: 5’6”
Eye Color/Hair Color: Dark Chocolate Brown

Profession: Not Yet Selected

About: History/personality

Valerie is a stranger in a strange land. The American born, Mexican-American from Los Angeles, California, and her family were stationed at Misawa Air Base located about 400 miles North of Tokyo in the Aomori prefecture in Tohoku. Her estranged husband moved the family out to Japan when he relocated to Misawa four years prior to SAO. Two months before the game was released, she filed for divorce and moved herself and her children into Misawa City proper.

Val is the mother of two girls, Shannon, age 14, and Teresa, age 6. She makes a living by working at the Commissary on the base. The living isn’t much but it’s enough for her and her children to get by on. In the real world, Valerie isn’t all that outstanding save her oven creativity and sharp mind. She’s a problem solver who thinks outside of the box to get things done. Decently attractive, but not anything most would give a second glance to, she is pretty, soft, and kind.

Originally, Valerie had bought the nerve gear for her eldest daughter’s birthday. During opening day, she wanted to make sure that the game would be safe for her child to play and wasn’t going to subject her to hidden graphic content she might not approve of (An ultra-violent bloodbath was not something she was going to let her child wander around in). She played around for awhile before deciding it would be fine for Shannon to play. She was about to log out so her daughter could see the opening ceremony, but when she tried to log out, she found that she could not. Val found herself back in the main town amongst all the players where she learned from the game’s creator, that none of them were going to go home that day or any day thereafter until the game was won.

Virtues:

Nurturing

 Val is everyone’s mom. Not necessarily the kind everyone wants, but certainly the kind everyone needs. She doles out, affection and advice, but is never afraid to make her thoughts and disapproval known in any given situation. She is the type to never leave any one stranded, especially the children of SAO, many of whom are without adult supervision. She has spent her earlier time in SAO caring for the younger children in the Town of Beginnings in one of the many homes created for the wayward children.

Adventerous

While many did not take to being locked away in a death game, Valerie found herself unafraid. The prospect of living in a fantasy world despite not having really adventured out into it was very exciting to the woman who had known a rather ordinary existence prior to her new life in the game world. Adventure (as well securing financial support to care for the children) is what finally lures her away from the main town and into the vast world of SAO.

Thankful

While things may not be perfect, Valerie is always grateful for everything she has. This mindful behavior helps her to keep optimistic even in the direst of circumstances. It is this willingness of gratitude that has kept her alive for so long. She feels that so long as she stays positive about her experience, she will make it back home to her daughters who are waiting for her in the real world.

Flaws:

Dorky

Although Valerie would never claim this about herself, she is always being told by her eldest child about what a dork she is. She has a passion for learning, but also a love of very nerdy things like literature culture, primarily pertaining to the fantasy world. (The Lord of The Rings was by far one of her most favorite books.) She isn’t convention level crazy, but is one Harry Potter wand away from joining the tribe of dweebs.

Poor Sense of Direction

Valerie couldn’t find her way out of paper bag. If she does not have a map or a route, the woman will find herself lost. Not that she actually minds this, however, her happy-go-lucky ways lead her to enjoy the adventure she has led herself upon. If in a party, do not trust her to lead unless she knows exactly where she’s going, otherwise the whole party could end up in a tight spot. “Not all those who wander are lost”.

Arachnophobia

Val hates spiders. When she was five, she had woken up in the middle of the night to find her older brother’s pink toe tarantula crawling across her face. This was done as revenge for a little Valerie having eaten the pudding cup her mother had given her, which unknowingly to all parties (save her bother), had been previously claimed by himself. After that she was a lost cause to spiders, even freaking out over ones no bigger than a centimeter. ( Note: Please no one tell her that there are giant spiders in this game okay??)
