Personality
Kyupin is a caricature - an exaggerated role to play and live up to. Bubbly and sweet as candy; one that soothes the souls of people around her, that nobody could ever dare abandon. Almost childishly sweet, like a kitten to protect. To be loved by everybody is her ultimate desire, and though it makes her relatively pleasant to be around, it has also made her a massive needy pushover. She is hesitant to truly speak her mind and will do near anything for that sweet, sweet validation. She clings to her first connections, holding them close and regarding those that earn her loyalty with fierce devotion. A devotion that blinds her to their faults, setting them firmly upon a pedestal.
Once upon a time, her sweet persona had not been quite as much a farce. She'd truly regarded the world of Terrasphere with wide-eyed naivety, in love with the freedoms and opportunity it presented. The thrill of the adventure, the pride of being a hero. Though that initial love and fondness for her Terrasphere life has persevered (and even turned to an almost worrying obsession as the years apart tint her memories rosy-colored), that naivety has long since been quelled by the numerous battles she's been through. It is replaced with a deep-seated caution constantly warring with a reckless desire to make sure her life as Kyupin Felnya is never ripped away from her again.
Positive: Agreeable, Disarming, Loyal
Negative: Clingy, Insecure, Reckless
Background
Valentina had a happy childhood in her small, sleepy town. Surrounded by friends, raised by a well off family, and easily achieving whatever she set her mind to, life had always been easy and wonderful.
Until the day it wasn't. Senior year, a terrible car accident crushed her legs and sent her into a two week long coma. While recovery and an ensuing depression took its hold of her, keeping her firmly rooted in place, the rest of life seemed to pass her by. She dropped out of high school. Her friends moved on. And every second ticked past, as forgettable as the last. For the first time in her life, she'd fallen, and she didn't know how to get up again. Didn't know if she wanted to. What was the point? She'd tried so hard all her life to lose it all. Time passed her by as she existed, not quite present and caring.
Terrasphere was a miracle she hadn't expected. A gift from her family, hoping to spark some life in her again. The game gave her legs. It gave her a community. It gave her a second chance, and a third, and a fourth, and however many she could want. It was... easy. She could try as hard as she wanted, fail as hard as she wanted, and it'd be okay. She'd be fine. Her family couldn't have known that it would consume her every waking moment, and even her sleeping ones. That every moment in the real world since she'd finished character creation was just another moment waiting to get back to her life as Kyupin.
Then one day, that moment of reality stretched on and on and on. A day, to a week, to months.
Valentina had hunted desperately for information, for a way back in. When a year had passed her by in her futile hunt, Valentina's parents broke first. She had to get her life back together, had to try to do something. Or they'd take away her headset. Take away her only chance at getting back. So she tried her best to bring back some of what she'd learned from Terrasphere - to find love for what she could manage here in the real world. She found a part time job that let her sit, worked on getting her diploma. Played the part, letting time pass her by as she waited and hoped and searched.
Now there's finally a way back in, andValentina Kyupin is all too eager to return to her real life.

You will go out of your way to collect anything resembling claws if you see them, except on your own tame. If said claws are locked away, you will have them, no matter the cost.
