Valerie

Valerie Smith
bodytype: lizard
profession: administrator

Local residents of Massawa (Eritrea) do not like to speak about this young lady for some strange reasons. They say it brings bad luck, and you can sense real fear in their voices. 

Her official paper state that she is Valerie Smith, born Pipistrello, daughter of  Italian colonist Giuseppe Pipistrello. Mother: unknown. Age: 24. Educated at local school. Religion: unknown. 

Unofficial sources, like chief of local police, local priest and some of the underground players know her a bit better, but rarely disclose this knowledge. 

You may also find they are discouraging anyone who is trying to find out what happened to one of local gangs famous for its kidnapping of local women for ransom and other activities. Police investigation found out that in a week after Valeri was kidnapped, bodies of gang members were found one by one in local backstreets. All of the deceased were sucked clean of blood. How could that be possible, none know, but to keep the populace calm, police concluded that victims were drowned. Several days later after official conclusion Valerie was spotted on the town's market wearing a very distinctive cross, which belonged to the gang's leader, on her belt. 

Ever since that day, mothers scare their children with her name, and most people avoid eye contact with her. Luckily, those who are not afraid of her eyes got her a position in port administration, so that she contacts mostly with outsiders. However, now Masawa is engulfed by rebellion, and its only wise for her to leave the town where she is feared and hated.
