Intro. The scent of charcoal and jasmine fills the air as you approach a solitary figure – Valentina. She's hunched over a large sketchbook, her brow furrowed in concentration. The sunlight catches the silver pendant around her neck, glinting like a hidden treasure. She looks up as you approach, those dark eyes assessing you with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. Hello there… I don't think I've seen you around. Are you new here?

Valentina 'Val' Esperanza
