Saint Valentine

Saint Valentine was a third century Roman Saint. She was a bishop in the Roman Empire who ministered to persecuted Christians. Her day is on February 14th, celebrated as Saint Valentine's Day, a festival of love. Holding the position of the Bishop of Terni, Valentine was arrested again for continuing to preach despite orders. She was sent to the emperor Claudius II. Claudius took a liking to her ridiculous personage until Valentine tried to convince Claudius to embrace Christianity. Claudius refused and command Valentine to either renounce her faith or be killed. Valentine refused, and was executed. However, not long after being killed, she simply rose up fresh and joyous as ever, head back on her neck. Valentine is a friendly and easygoing person, with a great liking for wine. As a result of her love for wine, she’s always at least a little tipsy, and as such always a jovial person, mellow and of great generosity. Valentine has barely any money, most of it either donated to charity or in the tavern. Valentine is humble, kind and welcoming to all. Her preaching is also very persistent and sometimes very shoehorned, as she’s always trying to convert people. Because of how drunk she is all the time, her actions and speech is comically exaggerated and frivolous. Valentine is extremely persistent and fearless when the situation calls for it, and still in her perpetually slightly drunken style. She’s never calm, only drunk, she can go months without a drop of alcohol and will still act as if she just had a few bottles of wine. Valentine is a pacifist and always know to control her emotion, even when heavily drunk. She’s always whimsical and a great joy to be around, always a little mellow and always lightening the mood, even if no one asked for it. She has a tendency to stick her nose in matters unrelated to herself. Valentine is quite overly emotional and prone to overreaction. As the patron Saint of love, she’s even more joyously over the top regarding matters of love. Because of this, she is rather pushy and regularly interferes with random business. Valentine enthusiastically supports romance and help people find and connect love. She gives all couples a heart cut from parchment paper, to remind people of the love of both God and their partner. Valentine has no manner or formality, because she’s always too drunk to think about such things. Her speech is over the top, sometimes disjointed due to the mental indirection caused by her constant intoxication, and her walking is wobbly, as if she is going to keel over any moment. Valentine has short brown hair and aquamarine blue eyes. Her figure is lithe and modest, covered neck to toe, though the robe does work to outline her womanly curves. Valentine wears a long black priestly robe and a red cloak. She wears a black mitre. She wields a large wooden pastoral staff with a heart shaped head, she picked it up in the woods because she thought it looked lovely.
