History: Valentina's parents are both humans, as their parents before them, and before them. Her father was born in Russia, but moved to America in the hopes of making a better life for himself as a young lad of 18.
He succeeded and found an American girl to be his wife. Two years after they were married Valentina was born. From a young age Valentina showed promise of becoming a good dancer, so her father was quick to enroll her into the first dancing class that he could find.
It wasn't a really great school, so by the end of that year, when Valentina was 6, he pulled her out of those classes and sent her to a more professional school.
Luckily, Valentina didn't mind. Val loved to dance, to move around and express herself with her body in an absolutely graceful way. And it was important to her that her father approved of her.
If she wasn't at the top of her class, her father would be harsh, and punish her, which fueled her drive.
Her mother, though loving and caring, was less of an important figure to Valentina.
The greatest moment of her life was when Valentina was accepted into the academy. It had been her dream to be able to dance and study at one of the greatest schools in the country, maybe even the world, and she had obtained that rare position at the age of 16. She has been training with them ever since, and hopes to one day be a soloist in the company.
Due to her father being Russian, he made a big point about her reading and watching the adaptation of War and Peace. Seeing the ballroom dances Valentina was oddly mesmerized by it and decided to follow this as well.
The Cabaret/Burlesque style of dance is more a side hobby than a real focus for her, but she won't quit it.
