Background
Valerie had a fairly normal life - raised in a decent New England "suburb". She decided to join the UCAS Army and fly helicopters. She was always fairly frail, but her intellect and quick reactions made up for it during training, allowing her to be one of the best pilots of her class. How she got this intellect was being a young girl riding horses with her family...and subsequently being kicked in the head by one of said horses. The resulting trauma left her bedridden for a few years, but also jump started some rapid brain development.
After graduating from pilot school, Valerie went a step further, requesting that she be integrated with rigger materials in order to better perform her duties. Of course the military accepted, and Valerie only got better, now pulling off insane maneuvers - maneuvers that also got reprimands from superiors and passengers alike. Of course her helicopter was shot down over an ARES location, prompting her to be grounded...but also approached by Lt Commander Kerrigan while in Infirmary, offering her an opportunity for revenge...and some freedom not found in the military, but filled with more excitement.
