♔ Superhero Academy » ❝Daughter of Quicksilver❞

 

 

BACKGROUND + Valentina Maximoff is the daughter of Pietro Maximoff and Crystalia Amaquelin, more widely known as Quicksilver and Crystal. Pietro and his wife never had a smooth relationship but they claimed that they loved each other which is why they kept it going. Pietro was working under S.H.I.E.L.D. until he found out that he was going to be a father. He quit working under the angency and settled for a more 'normal' job on the coast of Halifax,  a city in Canada, to focus on his family. About two years after Valentina was born Crystalia and Pietro hit a bump in the road that they could not overcome and ultimately split. Crystal left her family never to contact them again which means that Valentina was left to be raised only by her father.

Valentina's speedy powers started developing when she was a toddler. Her mom would  drop her off in one part of the apartment and would find Valentina waiting for her while she reached the opposite end of the apartment. After Crystal's leave, Pietro left Halifax and settled in Toronto, Ontario completely determined on giving Valentina all that he can all while keeping a low-profile 'normal' life. He enrolled Valentina in a 'French - Immersion' program which he hoped would open more doors for his beloved daughter.

Valentina grew up not having many luxuries as Pietro found it hard to earn much without using his power. This also meant that Valentina and her dad moved around a lot since Pietro kept changing jobs and wanted to make sure that he never worked too far from where Valentina was. Valentina herself never really noticed the absence of luxuries or minded the moves and was perfectly happy. During her elementary days she and her dad were visited every year by Pietro's sister Wanda and her family which included Anton with whom Valentina grew very close to. She was successfully convinced by her father not to reaveal the powers she's inherited from him to anybody else and she had listened to his words up until middle school.

"Oh please, I can do all that wearing 5 inch heels"

When she entered middle school in a new area it's like the entire school hated her. She was bullied for not having the toys and the gadgets that the rest of the kids had and when word got out that Valentina didn't have a mother, it got only worse. Unfortunately for her, this was the time where she found out how weak her immune system is. That was the year where the city had frequent smog alerts and Valentina was forced to attend school barely being able to walk in a straight line. It was during these times that she got extremely close to her father. She confided in him with all the events that happened during school and Pietro felt sorry he couldn't do anything.  So during an indoor gym class Valentina decided to show everybody up with her powers. She saw how scared some of her classmates got and gained confidence becoming conviced that her classmated couldn't hurt her anymore. By the time she moved again she knew how to work with people and was able to get on people's good sides. 

"Well generally I think Canada is nicer but London was simply cooler."

When Valentina was 12, Pietro decided to go back to working with S.H.I.E.L.D. He didn't want Valentina to feel lonely as he wouldn't be at home most of the time and made the painful decision of letting his daughter live with his sister's family in London. There, her aunt Wanda became the mother figure Valentina never had. She got along with every member of the family inclusing the Vision.  She transferred to Anton's school where she quickly made many friends. Valentina took notice of her cousin's low status within the school and stood by his side, threatening anybody who would try to pick on Anton.

*beep* *beep* *beep* "Anton, I swear if you don't uninstall this freaking thing-- It's just a stupid program my cousin made, I swear."

During her high school years Valentina built up a reputation for herself. She was known to be confident and outgoing but also very impatient and surprisingly easy to tick off. She was also known to be inseperable with her cousin with whom she always seemed to be lightly bickering with. Since Valentina had no problem finding boys to go on dates with, she was more interested in setting up Anton with a girl yet she never seemed to succeed. She started to slowly give up on her quest once Anton programmed himself a virtual girlfriend just to get out of the dates she'd set up. Valentina got even more ticked off when Anton revealed that he programmed a boyfriend for her on her phone which would constantly get 'texts' from the program. On the other hand Anton, knowing about her weak immune system, was very over-protective which would mostly annoy Valentina. She'd also be touched that he cares but wouldn't admit to that.

"But my dad visits at least every two weeks! And that's when he's busy!"

Besides being close to her cousin and being somewhat friendly is best friend Jason, Valentina also made a good human friend Shannon. Being two teenage girls, they would do what any stereotypical teen girls would do with the exception of Valentina threatening people when things didn't go her way. However, nobody knew of Valentina's power but Jason since she didn't personally want to tell anybody including Shannon.  It was just that by Valentina's high school days she developed an extremely confident aura that had the power to scare people away when needed. Since she was frequently visited by her dad there was nothing more that she could have wanted. Well except for her wish that Anton would uninstall the stupid boyfriend porgram he called Graham from her phone.

"Sounds stupid."

Valentina was informed about the Superhero Academy the day where she came home to find her father, aunt and the Vision waiting for her and Anton. Her first thoughts that they were in trouble were vanished once she was told about the school by the three S.H.I.E.L.D. angents. She initially thought the entire idea was too cheesy but was indifferent about actually attending the school. Since Shannon was going off to travel for a year, Anton was coming with her and she was allowed to visit human grounds from time to time she agreed to the whole ordeal. However, she's slightly excited about the cleanliness of the facility which would mean no pollution to make her sick.

POWER(S) + Being the daughter of Quicksilver and Crystal, Valentina inherited some powers from both of her parents. Since Quicksilver is a mutant as opposed to Crystal, the Inhuman, Quicksilver's powers are much more apparent within Valentina.

Valentina is able to run at super human speeds. At the time of her enrollment she can run at supersonic speed (speed of sound) up to Mach 5. She is training to run faster like her father who can run up to Mach 10. Thanks to her super speed, Valentina can create intense winds, run up walls and cross bodies of water. Since she has to survive the conditions brought on by such speeds, she has developed some biological advantages. Valentina has improved thermal homeostasis which helps her combat low levels of oxygen, intense friction and kinetic impact.

Unlike her mother, Valentina cannot controll all of the 4 elements, however, she can control the air. She combines her super speed and air control to create mirage images or rainbow illusions. Valentina bends air particles in the places she runs through to create several images of herself like a snapshot. This creates the illusion of her multiplying which is why she dubbed herself as Gemini. This ability of hers, however, is unstable as she can only uphold the illusion for a few minutes before her duplicates start disappearing. Also if any objects 'goes through' one of her duplicates, that air particles for that duplicate will become unstable and thatg specific image will disappear. 

ABILITIES Thanks to her powers Valentina  has developed superhuman reflexes. This makes her less vulnerable to surprise attacks during any combat. She also has extreme force generation thanks to her speed which allows her to deliver powerful hits. This means that Valentina is not the strongest fighter, but is able to build up enough force for a crushing strike all thanks to her powers.

Weaknesses + Valentina inherited her mother's very weak immune system which makes her very vulnerable to any viruses including the common cold. She also cannot withstand in settings with high degrees of pollution. For example, she cannot function properly when surrounded by smog. She'll be fine for a little while but in a few minutes time, she'll feel dizzy and won't even be able to walk straight much less use her powers.

PERSONALITY + Valentina is extremely outgoing and likes to be around people. She uses sarcasm so much that sometimes it is hard to understand what she truly means. She likes arguing over little things with anybody and everybody and that's just for the sake of arguing. Valentina takes pride in who she is and who her family is and would not stand for anybody saying anything bad thus making her very protective of her relatives. Valentina is very easy going about boys. She's had a few boyfriends, but none important enough to mention and nobody important enough to leave her heartbroken after the breakup. She never really had a serious relationship and went out on dates for the sake of going on dates. 

Valentina always did okay in school. She never excelled at anything (except maybe gym but that doesn't count) nor was she a bad student. She never really cared to do amazingly nor did she want to disappoint her family by doing horribly so her academics were genrally just simply good. However, she never really got along well with school rules and that was her only issue. She's very stubborn when it comes to having things her way. She hates to be wrong or to lose.

When it comes to tight situations Valentina is able to use her people skills to startegize a way out. She's gotten so good at reading people and dealing with them, that her 'ways out of a mess' seem almost like manipulations of others. This means that she can get anybody to like her (unless Valentina clearly doesn't like somebody and wants that person to know it). However, when short on time, Valentina is extremely impulsive and makes rash decisions. She's also very impatient and is gets very moody since she dramatizes everything. If she's a bit sad, she'll blow it up and become depressed for a while. If' she's ticked off, then she'd be a raging bull. All other times, she's a pretty laid back girl who just wants to have some fun. Talk about a roller coaster.

FAMILY +
» Father, Pietro Maximoff | early 40s | S.H.I.E.L.D spy | Pietro is slighty arrogant, impulsive and very outgoing. Despite his arrogance, he is the mood-maker of a crowd and does his best to lighten up the atmosphere if the problem at hand does not involve him personally. Otherwise, he can get extremely agressive and rash. In everyday situations Pietro is a jokester and is family-oriented. His sister and her family is of utmost importance to him, second only to his daughter Valentina. | Pietro and Valentina have a tight-knit relationship to the point where they call each other 'my best friend'. In every day situations, they're very silly with each other opposed to how serious they get when talking about serious subjects. They keep absolutely nothing to themselves when it comes to each other.
» Mother, Crystal | early 40s | Occupation unknown | Crystal is described by Pietro as someone with a bright yet secretive personality.  | No relationship with Valentina which is something that never really bothered the girl.
» Cousin, Anton Maximoff Shade | 19 | student |
Anton is a socially awkward nerd that stays in his room all day and would do anything do avoid human interaction. Although he's very geeky and nerdy, he's very sarcastic like Valentina. Every time he speaks, it's either something really sarcastic and witty or some sort of science fact or something. Being really intelligent he always corrects people. Anton is very clumsy and kind of a wimp, but he likes to acts like he's brave when it's only him and his friends around. Otherwise he just goes back into his shell. Anton would do anything to protect his loved ones, but he also loves to annoy them.  | Anton and Valentina are like the next generation Wanda and Pietro. They're extremely close to each other despite what you might think seeing their constant banter. You hurt one, then you've pissed off the other and you better run.

» Aunt, Wanda Maximoff | early 40s | S.H.I.E.L.D. worker | Wanda is usually very calm and reserved. Wanda is socially awkward so she is disconnected from the outside world. Wanda is a very curious person, therefore she  is very knowledgeable due to her always questioning everything and learning. She thinks critically and she's very rational. When chaos occurs, she stays calm and tries to think of the best solution to fix the problem.  | Wanda is the mother figure to Valentina and does all the 'girly things' with her whenever they have the opportunity to. 

 

FRIENDS +
» Close Friend, Shannon Williams | 19 | student | Shannon is the definition of bubbly. She's outgoing just like Valentina except she's a lot nicer and much less sarcastic. Shannon is the kind of girl who'd rather stay quiet rather than be truthful about something hurtful. | Valentina considers Shannon her closest  human friend. Despite their contradicting personalities the girls get along very well. They threw themselves a 'going away party' since Valentina was going off to school and Shannon would go off to travel.

 

OTHERS +
» Virtual Boyfriend, Graham | age 0 | serves as Valentina's boyfriend | Very clingy and extremely cheesy. Keeps sending Valentina 'texts' | Graham is programmed to be the 'perfect gentleman' by Anton, Valentina's cousin, since according to him, all her exes have been anything but. Valentina despises the porgram and wishes Anton would uninstall the thing from her cell.

"Gotta look good to do good." Valentina pays attention to what she looks like daily. which includes clothes. make-up and hair. There's notthing she specifaclly sticks to, just whatever she feels like looks good on that day. When it comes to her costume, she needs something that would withstand the friction, reduced oxygen and kinetic impact that would occur when moving at super-speeds. Therefore, she has a suit similar to what Maria Hill wore in the first Avengers movie made out of material similar to Black Widow's suit to accomodate to Valentina's needs.

PERSONALITY + Dante is very quick-witted and is the kind of guy who always knows what to say. He's the type of guy who's very kind and mannerly at first yet becomes a complete tease with a dirty mind once you get to know him. In settings like the Academy he takes it upon himself to help his peers mirroring his older sister's role as a teacher yet never really settling on becoming one. Thanks to her, he takes pride in knowing that he can deal with what he calls "..slightly hot-headed people...". Dante is one of those people who'd rather just stand by and watch things unfold rather than get involved. He doesn't sugar coat any news, however being the gentleman he is (at least on the outside) he tries to deliver them gently. It's like Dante is a combination of the females in his familty - he's got the genrosity of his human mother Dove, and the flirtatious high-school nature of his older sister Ophelia.

When it comes to his friends and family, Dante is the one who knows about all the little secrets. He's simply doesn't like not knowing everything that's going on around him therefore he has a bad habit of sticking his nose in everybody's business. Otherwise, he's a person who has a love/hate thing going on with everybody who's not very close to him. It's like Dante has a very friendly vibe but you can't help but notice that that friendly vibe is not all that there is to him.

RELATIONSHIP + In public, Valentina and Dante act like any pair of friends would. They're not a fan of PDA. In fact, unless you're close to one of them, you wouldn't know that they had anything going on and they'd like to keep it that way. The way Valentina sees it, nobody needs to know about her personal life and the way Dante sees it, it's a lot easier and less dramatic to keep everything on the down low. 

HISTORY + Dante and Valentina start off as something that can be described as frenemies. Thery get along most of the time but head along the way pretty often as well. After Valentina finds out that she's not allowed to see her dad and throws the biggest tantrum, Dante happens to be thee one to calm her down and comfort her despite them being not so close. After this event, Valentina starts to take more notice of  Dante. Along the way, Valentina gets ticked off by Opehila (not being able to excel at her classes and deeming them useless for herself) yet tries to behave in front of her for the sake of Dante.

OTHER + Dante, like his sister, heals faster than others. He's also trained to use the katana (it's a family thing and all) but he'd rather use what he calls more modern weapons. This means that Dante is able to use guns much better than other swords and knives. In combat situations, he'd rather hide out for a litttle while to have the time to come up witha perfect plan before attacking quickly. He's very swift with his movements and extremely accurate with his shots modelling himself after the main character of evey spy movie. Dante is extremely startegic and likes to think of himself as an adveanced version of James Bond.
