So as I was writing Valerie's story for her character sheet, I mentioned her mother, Lena (Ley-na).
She's always been around and her design has always been in my head, so I was glad to finally have the chance to draw her for the first time ever~
Lena's a young mother, only 27, and yes that means she had Val when she was 17. There's a bit of a story as to why, and what happened to Valerie's father, Tobias, but that's a story for another time. ;3 She is an author of a fairly-successful series of books, but never neglects mother-daughter time.
Welcome to the family, Lena! :) (...This is why I stopped making OCs though lol i'm instantly in love, and she easily joins my favorite characters.)
