Valence as a whole was born into a strict society of wood elves. Of course, that didn't matter to him; he sometimes would get into trouble. This rebellious behavior of course was rewarded at times whenever he would sleep seeing that his childhood behaviors would react inside his mind seeing things that would likely be quite off to the ordinary person. This continued until Valens would be given his first actual adult activity and hunt for his village.
Even though his method of dealing with the beast was considered unorthodox he would always return with the food needed at least for a week. Now though seeing that his village was too small of a place for him to explore now Valens explores the world one piece at a time. Of course, the one thing that he has come to respect from his village. Would be his village code of never breaking a deal between his companions. Or at the very least trying to find an alternative that suits the job well.
