Introducing Valentina Mureder!
Fast-talking and faster to anger, Valentina puts her "charisma" to good use at her family butcher shop, Mureder & Sons. But between working with her family and living with her father and three half-brothers above the shop, she longs for independance. She's happy to run errands for them just for the sake of getting out; she has few friends and even fewer reasons to go anywhere. She also likes doing home deliveries for the shop, which for a brief moment let her peer into someone else's life.


Mureder & Sons
- Largely serves carnivorous, blood-drinking, and cannibalistic types. Meat is sourced fresh from...well...murder. Note that the family name is foreign and doesn't mean what it sounds like (probably.)
- One of Valentina's brothers claims the walk-in freezer's haunted. She's not sure whether she believes him, but she listens to music to tune out any strange noises when she's working alone.
- The ceiling is low for a business. The tallest customers duck under greenish fluorescent tube lights. Any potential bloodstains blend into the terracotta tile floor.
- Sunlight shines through the large front window from sunrise to sunset, making it rather cozy during the day. At night, the sickly lighting casts sinister shadows on the faces of customers. Valentina often works at night, serving strange nocturnal creatures and buying up whatever new stock gets dragged up to the counter.
Appearance
Her casual outfits are generally comprised of a bright-colored tee, possibly cropped, jean shorts, and flip-flops. For work she puts her apron over everything and switches into boots. The boots are perhaps equally impractical but the platforms help her reach upper shelves. It's mostly a fashion thing though.
Trivia
- Part fantasy-italian??
- Would fuck up a meat lovers' pizza
- She lost her right eye to a splash of juice from a deeply fucked up cut of meat. She wears eye protection when using the meat cutting machine now. (I don't know what meat cutting machines look like or are called but I take it they exist?)
- Despite being my scene posterchild OC, she's not scene. I hesitate to give my OCs post-internet subcultures in a world that has no internet, so it's all non-canon. However, her first ref sheet says she likes cybergoth fashion and raves, and I'm not sure how to feel about that. I think cybergoth is more plausible as an in-universe subculture.
