Valeria Santos

Valeria Santos is the "queen" of the Lunar Vanguard, a hunting covenant and organization of mercenaries, mamono and former Order soldiers.

Personality
Kind to her followers, motherly in fact. To her enemies, cold and ruthless.

Backstory
Valeria was born to two Order veterans in Zipangu. When she was young, she thought the Order was correct in it's views, that the way of the Chief Goddess was the right and only way to live her life and so she did. She trained under her uncle, another Order veteran, in the use of firearms. She was also trained by an Order mage to utilize a unique form of magic, Lunar magic. The flintlock pistols she received were powerful weapons and expertly made. She cherished the gifts from her uncle and even made it so they were compatible with her unique Lunar magic.

While she slept one night, the light of the full shining brightly upon her, she was visited by a woman in her dreams. This woman claimed to be the Moon Goddess and had chosen Valeria as her champion. This "goddess", as Valeria did not believe her claims, wanted her to be the "Queen of her loyal knights, those who would defend their goddess from all usurpers and blasphemers". Sensing the girl's disbelief, the goddess clothed her in the attire of the "Lunar Vanguard Queen", which according to the goddess was her own armor she used on hunts. When Valeria awoke, she found herself in the same clothes as she saw in the dream and realized that perhaps she really was visited by a goddess, but why her?

She left the Order three days later, silently, leaving a letter saying she was called to something else. Once she had left, she received another vision of the Moon Goddess telling her to recruit all those who believed in her, human and mamono alike. At this, Valeria was slightly confused but did as asked.

It took her 10 years, but she had established a large following of devoted warriors. All of them saw Valeria as an oracle and the Moon Goddess' champion and thus they bestowed upon her the title "Aegis of the Moon".

Abilities
Moon Bullet- By charging her shot with Lunar magic, Valeria can create a charged version of her normal silver bullets.

Moon Bullet Barrage- Similar to Moon Bullet but this version is weaker and less accurate. However, the radius is much larger as Valeria spins causing the bullets to hit anything around her.

Moon Bayonet- Valeria can create a blade of hardened Lunar magic to slice away at her foes.

Lunar Seal- Valeria, in conjunction with Moon Bayonet, can create a seal made of Lunar energy which can blind and/or burn her foes with pure light.
