Kittenhood:

She was born of a doe whose father was General Woundwort and such name would follow her through her entire life and one day into the lives of her offspring...

Valley was the last of three kittens to be born. Her brother Aspen was the first born and soon followed by her sister Lilac and then lastly Lilly of the Valley. Val always felt like there was something missing in her life; she never received the attention that cute Lilac had as she was the golden kitten, nor did she get the harsh yellings as Aspen had for he was always getting into trouble. Valley spent a lot of her time alone in a far back corner of the burrow. She would hear voices in her head of many different rabbits, her first friend was the Black Rabbit she would speak to and he was her only friend...

As she grew the voice changed to that of her grandparli General Woundwort and after a while then to that of her brother... There is no telling who or where Valley gets her ideas but more often then not such lands her in the pit of fire... Valley's mother left and not one of the kittens know where she went... But with the disappearance of her marli Lilac also disappeared... Her father seemed to not notice as he was dedicating his life to the Rah of Nepenthes, Septfoil. Valley and Aspen where left for the most part alone as they often where seen as troublesome kittens and where constantly being watched...

Like all kittens Valley had a dream of what she wanted to be when she grew up, and that was to be a storyteller. As life sometimes does to you she was never allowed to act upon following her dreams as she was forced to learn medicine as her parli threw her into the medical field and so Val began to learn all he knew. Rowin was harsh on her for Val never watched with her eyes and as most fathers saw it that his daughter was not paying attention and would punish her for her lack of interest. Valley knew she did not need her eyes to know what Rowin was telling her, her hearing was all she needed. Valley, as she was often placed in a sealed burrow in solitude darkness as punishment, learned how to enhance her other senses. Her hearing was quick to become very acute and she had the ability to hear what was behind the sounds. Her sense of smell also was strengthened as she used it every chance she got. And her sight, possibly the least important of all her senses she found she saw better in the dark then in daylight. Valley was a sly doe with talents she kept hidden from the world so that she became increasingly intelligent as she discovered how to escape from the solitude burrow and return to it before her father realized she had left it. Valley memorized every rabbit ever brought to her presence and in that placed a name to each face. She knew nearly all the rabbits by scent, name and features and the one that stuck out the most was Septfoil-Rah as the young Valley developed a severe hatred for this one rabbit she blamed all her life's problems on...

Adolescent:

As the Hyzornrah rabbits attacked Nepenthes Valley and Aspen escaped the warren and in a sense abandoned it, Valley was the leader here. She had earned the respect of her brother as she took to the hills and gathered a few hlessil and developed a band of her own. Amongst the few rabbits was Savin; a shallow buck whose own intelligence seemed to even out run that of Valley's... They watched the battle and soon after Nepenthes won and took off towards Nildro-Inlé. Val lead the rabbits back to Nepenthes where she found many wounded rabbits. She ordered Aspen and Savin to gather them as they took them back to the woods where they received the up most care by Valley. Valley told them that only she was their ally and she healed and trained them all as she planed to re build Efrafa. But as always Valley's motives where unclear as she would often change her mind at what her plans where. Still Valley seemed to bring the best out of her rabbits and all became loyal to her at least that's what she thought. Amongst these rabbits where a few Hyzornrah (Linden, Barberry, Dittany) as well as a few Nepenthes Rabbits (Hyssop, Redfern, Eyebright) and one Telestra Doe (Archangel) The hlessi she picked up there Thornhill, Savin, and Thistle. She divided the rabbits into marks and like Woundwort once did she branded her rabbits with identification marks and to each mark where captains. Valley was fast to be called General ValRah as she took care of her rabbits and built an underground warren right under the noses of Septfoil and the Nepenthes warren...

Valley returned to Nepenthes with Savin as she pretended to be his mate. Truth be it, it was all Savin's idea as they acted as though they where friends and only abandoned the warren in fear of the war. Valley found her father as he harshly cut down Valley for her actions and the disappearance of her brother Aspen he was quick to blame his daughter for killing him and to top it off he accused her of killing his mate and his daughter Lilac. That was when Savin cuffed Rowin knocking him unconscious and wounding him severely so that when he came around he would be to hurt to run for help. It was during this state that Savin manipulated Valley and spoke of abuse and hatred for her parli and Valley soon began to believe the lies that Savin spoke of. Her mind became shadowed and confused as she healed her father and during that time Savin was giving her a plant to numb Rowin's senses. Valley knew that the plant was dangerous and would slowly kill her father but she still gave it to him as Savin told her. Valley was weak against Savin and it was not until her outburst and her one cry for help...

Adult:

Valley went to Septfoil one day and told him everything, it was the only thing she could do. Well she didn't tell him about poisoning her Parli for Rowin died the morning that she went to Septfoil. It ate away at Valley she did not know what to do. She told Septfoil about her underground warren and the fact that she was able to build it and spoke of how faulty his system was and that she wanted to show them that the system was breaking down so that a conspiracy was easy to build and that Nepenthes was in danger of itself and lack of control. Valley spoke of Efrafa and of the old ways of Caliber but her words went in circles as she pleaded innocent and not guilty of her crimes as she had once ordered her rabbits, Thornhill to be precise to kill a rabbit Val did not like. Of course the rabbit happened to be a very important and ambassador from an allied warren that was unknown to Valley at the time. She simply had a hatred for the way he questioned her authority and had him done away with. Valley and her rabbits under went a trial that surly would end up with them all being killed but Frith on a hill they where all sentenced to Re Education. Well at least most of all of them. In fact Savin had killed himself in front of the entire jury. That was the eye opener for Valley as she began to rethink of what she was doing and in so she seemed to almost have a set back to the past as for many months she remained quite and kept to the out skirts of the warren with Thornhill as she felt there was no place for her in Nepenthes no matter what she did...

El Zorn came to Valley one day as he wanted to as he called it re-educate Valley but she saw it as a challenge to do everything the hard way as she was annoyed by being forced to help the warren she believe she hated. Little did Val know that her anger was because of the fact her body was late to bring to her a Heat Cycle. She was a year late then normal rabbits and her stress and anger overwhelmed the doe to a near madness state of mind as she tore from the warren when her body released its hormones and Valley went into season for the first time. During her out break she became vulnerable and extremely emotional as she found a hare doe Frith's Song She saw the doe as a marli she never had and fast developed a relationship with her and her kittens... Riversbend especially. And that would bring us to her claiming no, Asking Thornhill to be her mate and the two rabbits bred and which will bring us to the events of the kitten napping of the Septfoil-Rah's son.

Recent Events that leads to her Current State:

Valley went on the rescue mission to Eye of Inlé to rescue Septfoil's son Valerian. However when she thought better plans she acted on them without telling anyone and it seemed she betrayed Nepenthes as she attacked her own rabbits in hopes to gain trust with Eye of Inlé, in doing so Valley was saw to be put back on trial if and when she ever got home. During the fray she managed to grab possession of Valerian as it seemed at one point it was all one big game of football. As Valley made a run for it and being severly beat up and wounded in the fray she and Thornhill managed to make it home. But in the last few feet of safety Valley tripped and a stick went through her right eye and was once again attacked and in that process she blacked out. When she came around she found herself half blind and with her mate but no Valerian. Valley never forgave herself and has not seen Valerian since that day and no mater what everyone tells her she believes that he is dead and it is her fault he never made it back home.

A few weeks later Valley gave birth. Her first 6 kittens where still born but her final 2 Frith praise were allowed to live. She was blessed with one each a doe (Thornlea) and a buck (Val's Pride) It was at this time did Valley realize that her soul purpose is to be with kittens and she sees it as her job to take care of all kittens.

Valley's health is currently with ups and downs. Like the weather her body changes with it. If it is rain or stormy she tends to be stiff and slow moving. On a good warm sunny day she is like any normal 3 year old rabbit. But that can all change if it gets to hot and Valley finds it hard to breath and think clearly. Valley finds her best days when its on the colder days such as Autumn.

Valley has lost all memory of medicine and at times seems to forget where she is. She also will sometimes dig at the backs of her paws when she feels all the world is lost and black. This she inherited from her parli. Over all Valley has a few more good years on her as long as she stays out of fights. And who knows. Maybe Frith will bless her with another litter.

The Mind That Remains a Mystery:

(Keep in mind that not a single rabbit knows this about Valley, This is just a little insight into the mind of Val and is completely OOC if you get my point).

Okay Valley is a difficult case. She believes that her father abused her and her mother abandoned her which is half true. Her mother and sister did leave and not a single rabbit knows where. Also Aspen her brother left as well in the same manor. As far as her father abusing her that is only half true. He was rough and strict with her and showed little compassion because she and Aspen where always together and always in trouble. Lilac was the good daughter and that left Valley in the dark. So she left to follow her instincts and during the war she abandoned the warren where she met Savin who controlled her life. That was the past.

Now that Valley is making her own decisions she is back at Nepenthes though she don't fully understand why. So... Valley is trying to prove herself and Thornhill to the warren but in her mind she still hates and blames Septfoil for the way she grew up and the way her father treated her. She thinks that Rowin put Septfoil first in front of his family which Rowin did do but he was a very busy rabbit. But what Valley does not know and will soon come to learn that all she is doing she is doing to prove herself to Septfoil and in a sense that she is unaware that her whole life was molded to impress this one rabbit she is forcing herself to believe that she hates. In conclusion Valley has a lot of intelligence. Too much in a way that it gets in the way of common sense. Valley likes to be the center of attention. She has a lot of power in mind and body and so much she does not know what to do with it. She has a talent to make the best of the rabbits she teaches and in a sense has created Thornhill to be as valuable as she. She just needs to learn to slow her mind down and to think things through before acting upon an instinct.
