Background/History:
Juanita Valerio's history dates back to the early 16th century or perhaps even farther, few people know about the eccentric woman's past, but what is certain is that her earliest know memory dates back to the spring of 1528, when a teenage Juanita woke up, naked, on the bank of the Ebro river, in Spain.
Soon after waking up, she began wandering aimlessly though the woods for the rest of the day before collapsing on the steps of a monastery shortly before nightfall. The monks, taking pitty on her, dragged her inside and gave her food, water, and clothing. When inquired who she was and being unable to recall, one of the older monks, a man named Miguel, named her Juana, after a local folk tale.
The monks however, were not ordinary monks, but a reclusive group of hermetic mystics, in hiding from the Inquisition. This meant that not only were they not following the Catholic Church, but that they knew of the Sephiroths and of the existence of multiple gods, demons and angels.
The men, having nowhere to take the girl, decided it would be best to hide her amongst them, ending up training her in hermetic mysticism; over time Miguel becoming like a father to the girl.
As the mystics grew older and closer to their ends, young Juana grew older, wiser, and more skilled, and by 1560, she was as good as any of her teachers. By 1570 all of them had died of old age, leaving Juana alone in the world. Having been taught by the mystics everything they knew about geography, philosophy, politics and mathematics, she set out for Barcelona to see if she could make something with her life.
Over the centuries she came to fight in several Russo-Turkish conflicts, the American Civil war and both World Wars. She became a guardian angel of sorts to the Parker Family, and a member of the Trismegistus Council.
Today she resides in Vibora Bay, being one of the many denizens of Duval Street in Easton, the richest and more high class side of Vibora, being one of the neighborhoods many homosexual residents, unlike most residents of Duval Street however, she is not in the entertainment business, instead owning a lavish souvenir shop which doubles as an apothecary and magical supply shop for the cities mystics.
This shop is built into her mansion and it is manned by PRIMUS agent Autumn@LordWisp and the alien being known as Zol-kacto@Krikitt.
Personality/Motivation:
Thanks to her advanced age, Juanita is rather hard to shock, having seen and done many things that would horrify or disgust most people over the centuries and having grown jaded because of it. She is not emotionless, but when one has seen as many battlefields filled with blood and excrement covered corpses as she has, one tends to stop flinching when they see someone mutilated in a ditch.
Juanita is adamant and rigid in her views and ways, slow to change and adapt to the world around her advancing as fast as it does.
Due to her long life, she has seen many spunky artists, courageous heroes, struggling students, ambitious entrepreneurs, charming coquettes, bashful bookworms, and just about every other type of person you can imagine passing by; because of this, she has become quite difficult to impress, seeming even cynical at times. She has also learned long ago what she likes or doesn't in a person, leading to her being able to easily form an opinion on someone.
However, she is not unpleasant -unless you annoy or grate her-, in fact, she is quite friendly and a conversationalist; though the subjects of her conversations can become philosophical in nature at times, which tends to push away some people.
Despite being an accomplished heroine, Juanita's motivations remain a mistery.
