Val dropped out of college just before graduating, taking the the road with her best friend, Park Soon Hee. They toured extensively, calling their little indie duo Xi and Hee. A few years later, she met the mega-rock band Full Gone, and for several more years Xi and Hee opened for them. At one point Xi even joined Full Gone, shortly before the band exploded into a flurry of scandal and speculation. She has consistently refused to talk about her time with Full Gone to the press, but is rumoured to have carried on affairs with several of the band members. She moved back to San Diego and recorded another EP with Hee before taking to the road again. Recently, of course, her life as a touring musician has come to an abrupt and painful stop.

=• one time out of ten, everything gets perfect for us all •= ((character connexions)) Songwriter Xi won critical acclaim from the very start for the stark emotional honesty in her music. It was raw, powerful, startlingly frank. In interviews, she's gone on the record as saying that every one of her songs are 'true, in their own way'. Her songs tell a brace of stories, though she's never actually come out and said which ones are true. Some are fairly usual, with themes of romantic entanglement and intrigue, a few are quite political. Some talk about slow death, others reference ghosts, sadism, murder, childhood molestation, deprivation - there's even a song about cannibalism in there. She makes no claims as to the veracity of any of it, but anyone who sees her perform knows that even if the 'facts' are invented, her emotional investment in the songs she sings - and their subject matter - is quite real.

Workaholic Valerie Xi has several jobs. This has been the case since she was about 15. She has been musician, songwriter, nurse, therapist, founded a Non-profit organisation and now, she hunts monsters for a living. Many think that her success in various fields is all natural talent - and it can't be denied that she does have natural gifts, as well as a privileged upbringing. What most people don't see is how hard she works, and how compulsively. In the back of her mind, she knows herself as a shark: if she stops, she dies.

Musician Xi used to tour almost constantly, putting out album after album and playing shows almost every night. That all changed, of course, with her induction into the Illuminati. After a long time away from the stage, Xi has recently started performing again, just little gigs here and there. She's also gotten back in touch with some of the people who knew her as a child, and is putting together a few classical recitals. She also tends to book gigs when accompanying Red Torna on his tournament trips.

Healer Surprising to some, Xi is also a Registered Nurse, licensed in both general care and the growing field of Creative Therapy. She worked for a time as a Psychiatric Nurse. There are other ways she can heal, but she's only just realising they exist.

Fashionista Xi takes her fashion seriously. She's a fairly familiar face at Fashion Week in both New York and Paris, and takes especially keen interest in searching out and wearing up-and-coming Asian designers. She's a sterling example of 'Rock Chic', and never fails to make it look easy. She can often be found in various up-scale shops hunting for the perfect piece...but just as often at Goodwill or other thrift shops.

Prodigy Xi was somewhat well-known in classical circles as a child, getting her start with piano at 3 and violin at 5. Supported by her diligent family and billed as a prodigy, she gave concerts, and for a while was the darling of the Classical set. Her concerts became more and more frequent as she aged, but when she was 13, stopped suddenly and completely. No interviews were ever given, and her family never said why. She still gave the odd performance after that, and those that followed her diminished career as a prodigy may remember that she ended up attending Julliard, later leaving to start her band.

Party Girl Xi holds the philosophy "work hard, play hard" very close to her heart. She is honest and apologetic about her habits, feeling no shame in them. Her constant need to be going and doing doesn't only apply to her daytime life; her nights are full of the same frenetic momentum. She is often found at bars, nightclubs, underground shows, raves, any place there are people and music (well, good music) and most of all, a good time.

Monster Hunter That's what Xi has been doing since joining the Illuminati. She spends the majority of her time in the field, and almost all of her time in the field actively working at this task. She's in peak physical condition, except for the injuries gained in the course of her work. She's very, very often busted up in some ways, nearly always sporting an injury or two.
