1	!!'''Valerin'''
2	The first of many protagonists in the series. She is a mace wielding ActionGirl mercenary who premiered in Chapter 1, of ''Demon's Due'', [[http://faile35.deviantart.com/gallery/256842#/d32ak97 Rats in the Cellar]].
3
4	* ActionGirl
5	* BadassInDistress
6	* BadassNormal
7	* BoundAndGagged: Starts with ropes and gag, and later shackles and a gag.
8	* BountyHunter: Her occupation at the beginning.
9	* BreakTheCutie and BreakTheHaughty: Depending on your interpretation, it could be one or the other, or both. Either way, she ends up broken.
10	* BrokenBird: By the time we see her in again Fair Harvest, anyway. Look at her eyes. Just ''look at them!''
11	** [[spoiler: By then, she's been alone and naked in a dark tin cage of a prison cell for weeks having endured God only knows what at the hands of her captors.]]
12	* ChainmailBikini: Completely averted. Valerin wears sensible leather and plated armor when on the job.
13	* ClothingDamage: Induced by gremlins with tiny knives.
14	* DespairEventHorizon: Not just once, but ''twice.''
15	** The first was in her first appearance. After having outrun the gremlins and fought her way past Albert with both hands tied behind her, [[spoiler: he recovers, finishes tying her up and carries her back down to the very place she just came from.]]
16	** The second was in Fair Harvest, where she came within an inch of being rescued. Poor girl.
17	* DefeatByModesty: Subverted. At first, she just stands there fighting back tears, but then works up the resolve to break loose and run for it.
18	* GripingAboutGremlins: Valerin has a ''lot'' of reason to gripe about gremlins.
19	* LadyOfWar: Another reason this has to be a particularly harrowing experience for her.
20	* NakedFreakOut
21	* NippleAndDimed: Yeeeup.
22	* SanitySlippage: It certainly seems to be coming into play...
23	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Shortly after being initially stripped, she manages to get away from her gremlin assailants and tries to flee the cellar. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, it turns out the inkeeper is in on it. She is promptly gagged and carried back down into the cellar.]]
24	* ShamefulStrip: What the gremlins do to her after tying her up.
25	* TheWoobie: It's difficult not to feel for her after a while.
26	* TheWorfEffect: She starts off as a competent and tough warrior maiden, but quickly becomes overwhelmed and at the mercy of her attackers.
