Valencina

Valencina is a tall, older woman with sea green eyes and long, bushy dirty-blonde hair that covers her right eye. She wears a Thumb uniform consisting of a rose-red jacket, trousers, wide brimmed hat and untied ribbon over an ivory shirt with the top buttons undone. The right lapel of her jacket has a golden pin with one arrow pointing rightwards. She is seen smoking a cigar, and has black gloves with light palms. She is an arrogant, booze-loving woman with a violent, foul-mouthed personality. She has an excessively short temper, taking to physical abuse whenever she feels frustrated regardless of if she lacks excuses to justify the behavior. While she aims to benefit greatly off the cultivation of Ryōshū's abilities, Valencina regards the woman with no shortage of disrespect and contempt, and has no qualms about treating the others around her with the same discourtesy. Despite her untimely discharge, Valencina continues to carry traits typical of the Thumb, demanding respect from those she views as her inferiors and taking to injury as the first response to failure. By striking down, Valencina affirms her perceived status as someone deserving of more than the stagnation of the House of Spiders. Valencina was a devout member of the Thumb's Famiglia Bognatelli. This Famiglia was where the Palermitan style of swordplay originated, which Valencina mastered and triumphed with in battle. During her time with them, Valencina's Famiglia promoted her to Sottocapo and gifted her their "family heirloom", which was either her rapier or the Eye of Odin Relic. However, only three days after Valencina's promotion, she was demoted and disowned from the Syndicate for an unknown offense.She was permitted to keep her sword and Relic only because the Thumb considered them to have been tainted by her ownership.
