In the distant future, Valery is... slightly different than she currently is. Valentin refers to her as his niece, but treats her like a daughter, perhaps due to how rarely he runs into family. While mute, she's quite social, relying on plenty of means from speaking collars to apps to sign language to communicate. She's also got a handyman's talent, knowing a little bit about a lot of things. She can produce patchwork fixes around the ship, but very much knows about maintaining and upgrading cybernetics. However, sometimes her knowledge can be quite dangerous. She's not strong or particularly fast, but she's tricky and clever, often using the environment to her advantage.

This is yet another cybernetic-themed piece by the artist! If I recall correctly, I did specify it to be an arm and asked for it to be "utility-based."

Valery Tarasov belongs to me!
