Appearance;
Valeria stands at a respectable 165cm (fight me Americans >:D) with a ponytail of cholocolate brown hair falling down to about her waist. Hazel brown eyes and high cheekbones go with that too. It isn't about her physical appearance, though, usually when you see her.
While she doesn't have much physical strength to back herself (being about 55kgs?), she still has the vibe of "don't mess". Partly because of her stance - while shy of being aggressive, it definitely isn't submissive either. She's a bit proud, too - shoulders back, spine straight. A collected demeanour, at least in front of other people. Because while there's othe people, there's judgement. And judgement isn't good, unless it's good judgement. So while she's not excatly posturing - it's an ingrained habit for her to hold herself upright - it is still for the visual cameras - that she isn't really going to back down or be some submissive lady.

Personality;
On first impressions, Valeria can be a bit overwhelming. Slightly distant and reserved, not exactly conributing but not being a deadweight either. Somewhere in the middle, where she is helping and keeping the conversation up, but not really doing much. That's usually because she doesn't want to talk to you, so hey, heads up!
The cold and standoffish feel is only reserved for absolute strangers or people she doesn't like, though, and to most other people Valeria is... let's call it passionate. "Dedicated" might be a better word, honestly. Point in case, she's willing to go a long way to get something done - while she may be in the higher social circles, she also understands that money doesn't come for free in her family. As a first-generation American with Latino roots, in these cicles purely because of the status of her parents, it's a tall image to live up to and continue. Result is her dedication, understanding that she still needs to work to stay in these circles.
This has given her... a bit of disdain for all of those with old money that also flaut it by doing whatever they want. She holds quite a bit of a work ethic to herself, and for those who don't have any at all, she's a bit distant from them unless she's required to get something from them. It can be a bit annoying, true - but that's just how she is with people she isn't comfortable with.
This also comes with it's cons, however. Her work ethic strings he up to the point where minute errors can hang her up on for far too long. Debating and counter-debating in her head about major things is easy. For the more minor things... some tiny aspect that people would have moved on from, Verlia can just sometimes get stuck at. It's just the aspect that bothers her.
Valeria has a heightened sense of empathy - to the point where the ant on the wall will be moved onto a piece of paper and moved outside rather than being smacked. This also applies to people, however; she's able to empathize with quite a proportion of people, as long as they're not being what classifies as "idiot" in Valeria's mind. (Unfortunately, quite a few people qualify.) While it's not to the point of standing up for the new guy who no-one knows in the yard, she'd stillf feel for that person. Unless they got what they deserved, that is. Nonetheless, she isn't one to try taunt another.
Speaking of which, Valeria's friendship circles are significantly more defined than others. To most other people, she seems like someone who wouldn't be the greatest of friends, but to those who know him she really associates himself with those she forms bonds with. With association comes the will to be able to stand up for them, too. This is another defining aspect of Valeria's personality - she is loyal to those he believes is right. Even if they aren't. Loyal to a fault.
Emotions aren't something Valeria can express easily. With her straight-backed posture, it's easy to assume that "she's fine". Sometimes she isn't, and just goes to great lengths to hide exactly that. She doesn't want people to know about herself - she holds empathy to others and is willing to sympathize with them, but herself? Nope. No-one needs to know of her inner struggles of attempting to live up to her parents' name, or how some aspects of her personality clash all the time. They just don't need to know, so Valeria hides it. Problem solved... kind of.
Valeria rarely smiles. The world is a serious place, she's serious about what she's trying to do, and why the hell are you still standing in her way? With that is parts of her concentration - "posing for the cameras", as one would say it in modern terms. Valeria tries to cultivate the feel of somewhat distant (because she doesn't want to talk to you), focussed on doing what's needed with her work ethic. But then that's just with people that don't classify as a close friend, or when there's people at all. While not entirely stone-faced - her expression can change, thank you very much - it's sill posing for the nonexistent cameras.
