i'll be there when you're insecure

fashionista , twenty-two , manipulative , singleton , gets around

this here is the lovely and yet oh so troubled miss Valerie Dupri. Val has a lot of not so attractive qualities; mainly that she gets a thrill out of using others to get what she wants and has a little love affair for meddle in other people’s lives and stir up a little drama here and there, especially if you get on her bad side. It doesn’t take too much to piss her off, just the wrong wording in a compliment or sometimes if you simply look at her the wrong way. That’s not to say she doesn’t have her softer, sweeter side, it’s just that only a handful of people will ever see that side to her. If you happen to fall in that little mitt of friends you can be sure that Valerie will do everything in her power to have your back, to get revenge for you if someone double crossed you and to always be loyal to you, unless you cut those ties or do something she deems unfriend like.

Valerie has spent all her live in Carver falls, growing up in a rather dysfunctional home. Both of her parents hail from wealthy families and have done well for themselves, however neither her mom or her dad really felt like the marriage was working and ended up separating when she was little. As such neither ever remarried, just had lots of “company” over to the house often. Val remained the only child for either of them, they would shower her with gifts and anything she asked for, hoping that it would make up for their lack of being around to actually raise her. Needless to say that the root of all her personality flaws more than likely are due to her parents lack of time with her. The only real solid consent thing in her life has been her closest friend, her best friend if you will, Mister Adam “Chuck” Barrett. The two are quite a like and have always gotten along for the most part. The dynamic duo you don’t really want to mess with. Not that she plans to ever own up to it, but Val has quite the crush on her best friend, she always just pushes it to the back of her mind and the bottom of her heart though, she’s not stupid she knows that Chuck is just like her, how could that ever work out. Better to just grin and bare it then to end up broken hearted.

Val is open for any sort of interaction. The girl is bound to have quite a few enemies and frienemies, not that many people probably care too much for her. Yet at the same time she’s probably had a slew of past lovers and some at the present. She isn’t the type of girl that won’t repeat a one night stand with the same guy, if she had a good time she’ll meet up again. Her final is already in the works if she ever gets the courage to fess up. Her friends will be few and far between but I imagine her to have a handful of close little friends and perhaps a few minions running about.

chuck & val

oh, the fiery redhead that can get away with murder and he'd help her hide the body, lol. that's how tight they seem to be. i don't think chuck notices her crush on him. he's probably too busy playing other women and bragging about it to see what he has right next to him. if she's observant enough, i can even see her noticing his slight infatuation over ronnie? he'd probably mutter about her a lot, haha. and, this is just an idea, but if she's really vindictive, maybe val can come up with this plot to help chuck break them up by flirting with his brother? but it'd probably really be just to make chuck jealous, lol. i dunno, something along those lines might be fun. but if/when val decides to spill the beans, in one way or another, i think it'll be quite the shock for chuck. but ultimately, she's the only one that really understands him, so eee <3. love them already.

cooper & val

see above, lol. i'm pretty sure they've known each other most of their lives, especially if his brother has a habit of hanging out with her so much. he's always been such the awkward duck around chuck though, so he was probably never invited to all their cool parties and such. still, coop will be coop and harbor no resentment or bad feelings. maybe they were even friends at some point, when they were younger.

mikael & val

ahh, my dear mik. yeah, he'd like this girl. in fact, they've probably had a few flings in their day, just because they could, lol. or he'd try, anyway. he's a bit rough around the edges, not as classy as mister chuck, but he is his own brand of charming. i can see the mohawked punk and the spitfire ginger being frenemies/partners in crime. he'd probably annoy her at times and vice-versa. he really has no filter on his mouth, so he'd just call her out on her shit, lol. but they'd probably have fun together, most of the time anyway.

drew & val

my easily distracted, fashionista sweetheart. her grandfather is a wealthy judge, a very respectable gentleman in this town, so i can see them having to associate often through their families. val probably wouldn't like her, because she'd think that drew was pulling a 'good girl act' or something, lol. but drew is open-minded and non-judgmental, so even if val treated her badly, the blonde wouldn't retaliate in the same way. maybe val can be a bad influence? i can see her and chuck trying to turn drew a bit scandalous. it might be slightly more effective after she gets into a fight with remy, where mik will also be involved. he misses the old remy, so he'll be sort of like the 'get over her' buddy, haha. it's all a bit cruel. also, drew's sexuality isn't exactly 'out there,' so if val wants to exploit that she is into women, by all means. her bigoted grandfather is going to have to find out eventually and it will not be pretty, at all.

dresden & val

she's a bartender and val seems like she enjoys the night life, so i can see their paths crossing? she probably knows her order already (x

kaitlyn & val

okay, so i don't know if val's parents ever took family counseling after their split? or if maybe they sent val away to see someone, assuming that she started 'acting out' and all that. in any case, kait is a therapist, so if she needs one of those lowkey, there ya go, lol. she has a confidentiality clause to abide by, so she's sworn to secrecy about her clients. but if val chooses not to see one, that's fine, too.

feel free to add/subtract/delete any of the above. <3

[rachel mackenzie beaumont]

alright. this one's even harder. we'll see how we go. x) apparently i'm only coming up with vague ideas anyway, so again, feel free to change/add/delete/ignore/whatever.

VAL & REMY again, i'm having trouble figuring remy out, but. val and chuck seem like the sort of people she'd be friends with, to keep her rep going if nothing else. plus she is kinda wild. i think it might be more of a frenemy sort of thing going on, because they seem pretty similar in a lot of ways, so i'm thinking that'd both bring them together and cause them to clash constantly. but val seems like someone that remy would be friends with on a surface level. or, a surface level for her, at least. or, she'd sort of see her as her. equal? i don't know. x) i don't know how to make this make sense. but there definitely needs to be something here.
