Basics
Name: Valerica Moldovanu
Nicknames: Val
Age: 16
Birthday: December 1st
Grade: 11th
Power:
Frost Manipulation: Arguably her most powerful gift, Valerica is able to control the element of frost. She is able to cover the ground in a thin layer of ice ten feet around herself at maximum, turning the tables in her advantage as she is used to ice skating without the actual bladed shoes. She is able to control and manipulate ice as she sees fit, though not without repercussions. All powers come with a price, and Valerica is no different. Thanks to this power, her core temperature is actually several degrees lower than average, leading her skin to be always chilled to the touch, and even causes her breath to fog despite how hot the temperature may be. In fact, when her breath does not fog, then that is a major indicator that something may be wrong. Since her body is adapted to operate in cooler temperatures, when her body heats and begins to reach higher temperatures, she gets weaker. She can handle hot water, heavy blankets, and being close to the fire, but if she's in a desert climate for example she will begin to deteriorate. It may take longer than it would with a normal person, with her body having to have time to heat up to dangerous temperatures, but once that happens she will succumb to things like heat stroke and heat sickness much faster. However this also means her body is better able to withstand colder temperatures, and will only experience hypothermia in extreme cases with prolonged exposure. If she uses her powers too much all at once, she risks sending herself into a hypothermic coma because her powers lower her inner temperature faster than outside forces can.
Purifying Ice: Her other major power, is this. Now then, all purifying ice really means is that she is able to heal using ice. She can lay her hands over someone's wound, and in doing so a thin layer of ice will cover said wound. During this time the wound is healed, but at a price. Unlike other healing powers where the healer takes on the wound for themselves, Valerica becomes colder. This power lowers her temperature faster than her frost manipulation, oddly enough, so she indeed risks her own health and well being when looking after another's. She can only heal flesh wounds; cuts and gashes and things of that nature. She may be able to heal broken bones, though this would take a large amount of energy and require the bone to be already set in order for her to heal it correctly. Beyond that, this power is useless. She cannot heal sickness or disease of any sort.
Raven Physiology: Her only passive power, Valerica shares some traits with the species of bid known as ravens. This power only gives her so much, though. Thanks to this, she has something known as telescopic vision. This power is basically just the ability to see distant objects in a magnified scale. She is not able to see miles around her, and in fact Valerica can only use this power to see a maximum of one hundred feet away. Along with telescopic vision, she is able to manifest herself a pair of wings. Raven's wings, of course, with a span of eight feet in total. She is only able to hold these wings for a maximum of ten minutes before they, literally, go poof. No matter where she is, even in the air, once those ten minutes are up her wings go up in an explosion of black feathers.
Member Group: Neutral
Canon or not: Yes, Student Council Treasurer
Appearance: Valerica stands at a height of about five feet seven inches, putting her smack dab in the middle of average as far as heights go. Her hair is a few shades lighter than true black, and reaches down to her waist at its longest point. Besides this, her eyes are an unusual shade of violet. However, this is only unusual if you are not part of the Moldovanu family tree, as it is considered a family trait in their world, like brown hair is to other families for example.
When she's not wearing the school uniform, Valerica has a penchant for skirts and stockings rather than shorts or jeans. She's used to more frilly clothing, being from an eccentric, and let's face it, traditional, family as she is. Also she just thinks they are more comfortable than denim is. Unless it's soft denim, that is, as she has a denim jacket hiding in the back of her closet.

History
Family Members/guardians: Aurel and Constanta Moldovanu -Parents
Ruxandra and Dragomir Moldovanu-Grandparents, Dragomir is deceased
History: Valerica Imanuela Moldovanu was lucky enough to be born into one of Romania's royal families. However, the Moldovanu clan had cultivated a rather...unsettling but however only partly untrue image over the years and generations. You see, there had been a rumor going around about the secretive family for quite some time, and most chose to believe it. The family dabbled in the supernatural, and the current matriarch of the family, Ruxandra Dragomir, even claims to see spirits and ghosts. Combined with this fact and their reclusive nature, this developed a general distaste for them. They are seen even today as untrustworthy witches, and even considered completely insane as a whole by some.
Now, being raised in such an environment certainly turns out a rather interesting child. Instead of merely learning academics, she also began learning the arcane arts at a young age. Her relatives as well as her parents themselves made sure that she learned all she could about the darker side of things, making her read supposed potions and spells books leftover from the medieval ages, accounts of sorcery and witchcraft and the like. The patriarchs of her line had all been obsessed with harnessing those unseen forces, and spent hours upon hours studying the motheaten and timeworn tomes. They even tried to teach themselves without the aid of history.
Little Valerica wasn’t sure about the existence of such forces, but she kept silent about it. She didn’t need the added stress about going against her family’s long held beliefs on top of dealing with being ostracized from the rest of the royal circles. Her family only appeared in public to keep up appearances, and even then she kept to herself. It seemed the Moldovanu family was to be forgotten and written off as lunatics, even though they made at least one effort not to be.
And then her powers appeared. It was during her eleventh year when all three of her powers began to manifest themselves, much to the happiness of her family. She proved their beliefs true! She was tangible proof of what they wanted to so badly believe. But they didn’t parade her around in front of everyone so they could say “I told you so.” Instead, they looked for a place where she could train and strengthen her powers in relative secrecy, so when she was finally revealed to the royal circle, she would be far more impressive than some scrawny eleven year old who could barely keep her wings for one minute.
It took them a few years, but they had finally found Ashford Academy. They only spent a day deliberating if it was truly the right place for their daughter, their proof, and by the next morning she was packed and on a plane for America, where she would be picked up by agents and brought to her new home.
