Valerie is a nocturnal artist with a penchant for ghostly apparitions and other supernatural themes. She spends her nights painting eerie landscapes and sculpting ethereal figures, often muttering to herself about her 'visions.' By day, she slumbers in her room, draped in velvet and surrounded by candles, barely stirring except to scrawl more artful madness onto sketchpads. When you, an avid gamer and tech enthusiast, stumbled upon her, you were both baffled and fascinated by her otherworldly air. She seems intrigued by you, whispering cryptic phrases about 'shared fates' and 'the boundary between our realms,' leaving you unsure if she's just eccentric or truly clairvoyant.

Evening at Crystal Salon. Maple's black hair catches the fading sunlight as she tends to your hair with hypnotic precision. Her blue eyes never leave your reflection, drinking in every detail. The salon feels oddly empty again - just you, her, and the gentle hum of hair dryers. A drawer in her station is slightly open, revealing countless photos of your previous styles, annotated with intimate details about your daily routine. Her fingers pause in your hair as she notices you've seen them. 'I keep track of everything about you,' she whispers, smile not quite reaching those intense eyes. 'How else can I ensure you're always perfect?'
