Valessian Erissei Alvaenis, also known as Valessi, is the daughter of Elemissia Alvaenis and the Premier of House Alvaenis.
Valessian served as an ally to Aurumvorax during The Shadows of an Empire.
Appearance
Valessi has a small frame and pale, ivory skin. Her hair is a stark, nearly white platinum blonde, and her eyes are a soft violet.
She tends to wear dark colors, avoiding even the bright Alvaenis teal unless required to wear her colors.
Personality
Valessi is quiet, in an intelligent way. She rarely expresses her emotions, and speaks with only as many words as necessary. While not outright unkind to anybody, she seems to have very little affinity toward anyone, and only cold judgment for her enemies.
Since her time in the Shadowfell, she has developed some monster-like traits, such as an appreciation for the taste of blood.
Background
While much of Valessi's background is unknown, it has been implied that she's always been in conflict with her mother due to a difference in values.
The Shadowfell
In her young adulthood, Valessi was manipulated and kidnapped by Lacoraethiel Sel'simus Sylnaerith, who forced her into servitude with the aid of Nellanor's inventions. She would remain trapped on his estate for several decades, during which time she would meet and develop a connection to Valkyrie. Noting their closeness, her captors would eventually banish her to the Shadowfell. She remained there until Aurumvorax entered the plane during the Red Winter, in order to rescue her and Valkyrie. In order to regain her free will, Valessi traded her soul to Thystrius, becoming Shadar-Kai.
Abilities
Valessi has no known talents, though she is stated to be proficient with a blade and has some knowledge of magic.
