Backstory: Valeria almost didn't come into existence. Conceived in the negative zone, when Valeria approached term she began to emit bursts of radiation that threatened both her and her mother. Despite her father and other's best efforts, Valeria appeared to be stillborn. Her brother, Franklin, devastated by the sister that he could have had, used his psionic powers to send her into another reality (which she has no memory of, and after her brother's powers were depleted during a battle to save reality, Valeria reverted back to an unborn child in Sue's womb).

Sue came to term, but once again she was effected by bursts of radiation from the unborn Valeria. With her father, Reed, being captured by Hidden Ones, Valeria's uncle Johnny Storm sought out the help of longtime enemy of the Fantastic Four, Victor Von Doom. Doom used a combination of magic and science to deliver Valeria, and was allowed to name her, choosing Valeria after his childhood love, but that was far from what Doom had from his mind, as when he held the baby girl in his arms, Doom wove an enchantment turning Valeria into his familiar, and sacrificing her namesake for greater magical power. Doom then used to Valeria to taunt his enemies, and with the power that she gave him, was easily able to overcome the Fantastic Four when they first attempted to free Valeria. With the assistance of Doctor Strange, Reed Richards was eventually able to retrieve Valeria and Franklin (who had been banished to Hell by Doom), and banish Doom himself to Hell. It is unknown whether or not Doom still has some of his connection to Valeria or not.

Life returned to normal for Valeria after that. Well...as normal it could get for a little girl who's parents and everyone close to her were superheroes. Valeria basically grew up with in the Baxter Building, following her parent's exploits as part of the Fantastic Four, and getting to know some of the "big names" in the superhero community (she nearly wet herself when she met Captain America for the first time). Valeria was what one would call a "kid genius", playing chess with her father at age four. Reed, seeing his daughter's potential, home-schooled her, and Valeria discovered that she shared her father's love for chemistry and psychics...though she did have a tendency to blow things up...

At age ten, Valeria first tapped in her powers to develop force fields, when her brother threw a water-balloon at her one day. Reed then tested her for any other superpowers, finding none, but as Valeria was still young, the possibility for more to develop remained open.

Valeria continued to stay at the Baxter Building through her parent's and the original Fantastic Four's retirement, feeling a close connection to the new Fantastic Four, Vincent Amorason in particular, whom she was extremely close with, and saw as a younger brother. It was also a chance for to get to know her "uncle" Kristoff Vernard, who she always felt a little awkward around. Though she is not a member of the Fantastic Four, Valeria has her own lab/office at the Baxter Building, and often acts as the resident "brain" for the team. Though she hasn't been around there often, as she's determined to graduate high school (or home-school, in her case), to pursue studying to be a physicist. How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: Coming back to the Baxter Building.
What are you planning to do with this character?: I'd like to work out the dynamic that Valeria has with the current Fantastic Four. Though I'm perfect content with her acting as the team's "brain", I'd like to maybe have her try out her hand at heroing as her powers further develop.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: I'd like to intergrate her into the superhero community, eventually. As all of the Fantastic Four slots are full, she'll probably go for another team, or she might just do her own thing. For now though, she's perfectly content in her lab.
