Valerie Laval
Valerie Laval is the second daughter of the former King Philippe and Queen Eleanor. Her older sister, Chloé, died during an assassination attempt on the family when she was twelve that also claimed the life of the reigning Queen.
She has been groomed since then to be Queen, although what kind of Queen she would turn out to be under Philippe’s tutelage as opposed to her mother’s left the nation unsure of what to expect. Queen Eleanor had been highly involved in strengthening the crown’s position in opposition to the republican council. Philippe had been a rather quiet consort, mostly indulging in some vices while patronizing the arts in Bellancourt.
Queen Valerie’s coronation was held just after her eighteenth birthday when she took over from her Regent father who seemed happy to leave politics again, she has balanced her vices with her duties to the nation. Furthermore, the assassination of her young sister seemed to have sparked a feeling of sympathy for the princess become queen and stemmed the revolutionary tide of public opinion.
The new queen made waves when she addressed the Grand Council personally and pledged to work with them to bring safety and stability to all her subjects. This has led to concerns by some of the nobles who are used to the Royalty being too busy to pay much attention to the Republic and their management of its affairs.
Valerie’s husband, Gabriel Kaplan has become her Consort. However, it's public knowledge that they have an open marriage with other lovers. She has recently given birth to her first child.
