Valencina

She is a short-tempered woman, with booze-loving, arrogant personality. Yet, after the House of Spiders she became more calm as she stopped giving shit about everything.

Appearance: Valencina is a tall, older woman with sea green eyes and long, dirty blonde hair that covers her right eye. She wears a Thumb uniform consisting of a rose-red jacket, trousers, wide brimmed hat and untied ribbon over an ivory shirt with the top buttons undone. The right lapel of her jacket has a golden pin with one arrow pointing rightwards. She is seen smoking a cigar, and has black gloves with light palms. While not visible in her sprites, she is said to have the Relic "the Eye of Odin" in place of her right eye, a mechanical eye with a sea green iris and a segmented sclera, and it's covered by a black eye-patch with golden cross on it and her hair. She carries two swords, one being a straight sword with a revolver barrel at its guard kept in a red sheath, and the other, a curved sword with yellow ribbons on its grip kept in an orange sheath. Both have golden, ribbed blades.

In her younger years, Valencina was a participant of the Smoke War under the Famiglia Bognatelli, where she made a name for herself as a war hero and vicious killer able to bayonet any foe, killing them before they were given a chance to fight back. She battled against the old L Corp., making express note of her time having tortured the old G Corp.'s soldiers and personally witnessing their decisive weapons. In addition to acquiring the Eye of Odin at some point, the Famiglia Bognatelli gifted her with their personal heirloom sword due to her prowess. Due in part to her devoutness to her Famiglia, Valencina was promoted to the rank of Sottocapo, though this lasted a measly three days before she was demoted due to her behaviors. She was then disowned by the faction, which withdrew its love for her but allowed her to keep her Relic and sword, believing them to be tainted by her ownership. The City is a massive urban complex the size of a small country, and has a population of around 7 billion. The City is bordered to the south by the Great Lake, and to the other directions by the Outskirts. Underneath it lie the Ruins. The City is divided into twenty-six Districts, quite diverse in culture and aesthetics, each of which is governed by a Wing, a corporation that has ascended to claim complete control of said area. All Wings respond to the Head, the supreme governing power of the City. The arrangement of the Districts seems to be static, as there has been no mentioned case of a District expanding into a fallen Wing's territory. Thr Thumb - The Thumb is one of the Five Fingers of the Backstreets, operating with a focus on adherence to hierarchy. Like the other Fingers, the Thumb is one of the most powerful Syndicates in the City, possessing enough influence to rival even the Wings. Like the other four Fingers, the Thumb is a large Syndicate with a unique culture and creed that all members follow fervently. In particular, members of the Thumb value politeness and respect to one's superiors above all else.[5] In practice, this means that the Syndicate demands absolute compliance to hierarchy, as when dealing with the Thumb, any action that demonstrates a lack of respect for higher authority will be met with immediate punishment.

Who is Lucio? Lucio - At one point in his life, Valencina rescued Lucio from the Backstreets, giving him food and a warm home while he was a nobody with little future. This led Lucio to feel indebted to her and shaped his attitude toward his duties and her abuse. Despite this, he grew to silently resent his master, and repeatedly considered ending her life in her sleep. He is a member of the Thumb and apprentice of the House of Spiders under Valencina whose duty is to become a "Textbook" for Yoshihide to learn from. Well, until he died to Gregor by having his heart impaled.

The House of Spiders is an organization whose objective is to raise an individual through the culture and fighting techniques of the Finger syndicates, in order "to forge a blade that cuts through all."[1] The true purpose of the group was to create a wielder of the Relic Arayashiki that could permanently erase anything that it cut down, creating a being akin to a living Concept Incinerator through the use of transforming Ryōshū into the Muga, causing the wielder to be elevated into emptiness and nihility, as the price for using the sword was the loss of one's memory.[2] Though the Muga and a Concept Incinerator are similar, they are differentiated as the Concept Incinerator "deletes" an object or concept, while Muga isolates and untethers whatever is brought into its path. A Muga-destroyed concept still exists, though is inaccessible and assumed to not exist by any external sources of interaction
