ValeriaQuite a few dhampirs are born of rape. The other common occurrence is when a vampire and a human, usually male and female respectively, love each other very much and can pull the mechanics off, often just before the human's turning. Valeria is the product of one such union, and was raised in a pretty peculiar household because of this -- the expectation was that she would seamlessly transition into undeath after she'd grown. It's hard to develop an interest in cooking when most of your family is on a liquid diet, but Valeria did. So's to want to learn to swim when everyone else is more interested in turning into mist. Valeria's mother wanted to retain her good looks in undeath, and had her very early; shortly after Valeria hit puberty, it became apparent to her just how damn vapid her parents were, and how immortality had turned the elder vampires into creatures of ennui and inertia. Not wanting any of it, she theatrically opened the curtains (which didn't do much, in fairness), flipped everyone the bird, and left. Valeria tried many times to make her mark in the world, with mixed (read: low) success, partly due to her peculiar upbringing and partly because she's objectively a bit of a spaz. Her attempt to open a bakery failed because as much as having skeletal hands do the kneading and furnace operating is hygienic, people were grossed out and too many questions happened about whose bones were those anyway; she's since stuck to animals mostly. She joined a peasant revolt once, resulting in accidentally creating a zombie due to excess of medical care on one unfortunate guerrilla fighter, leading her to the knowledge that, well, that was not medicine. During this last incident she also learned to handle a voulge with reasonable competence. Or is that a ranseur. Big pole thing with hooky blade at the end. Fortunately for her sweet tooth, someone with Valeria's background and skill is often in demand when there's a fight to be picked, so she's taking roaming jobs to finance her next venture.

Most people assume it's a dog skeleton, which makes the whole thing either slightly less or slightly more creepy. Valeria keeps Ginny very clean and polished and has filed down a few protrusions to make it easier for the critter to be carried in a box while disassembled.
