Only current appearances: 😊+ on TikTok pt. 1 and pt. 2, 💕+ Haircut Dialogue pt. 2

General

Val is a barber in her mid-forties. She is the first mouse we meet in-universe. Per typical mouse features, she has a more pointed snout, rounded ears instead of ovular, and is notably much smaller than her rat counterparts, only coming up to 4 feet, sitting right at the average height for mice (typically 3'6-4'6).

Personality

We'll mostly see Val at work with Annie, where she is friendly, open, knowledgeable about her job, sometimes cracks jokes, and often compliments Annie or talks him up. This is especially true around Dr. Zo, as she knows her hairstylist is interested in him and is keen on playing matchmaker.

Outside of work, she is witty, headstrong, opinionated, and undeniably clever. She lives like the rats in town, and is most similar in values to rats: she has a more individualistic view than many of her mouse counterparts, and hones skills that make her happy instead of doing so to benefit an entire community (per mouse culture). She lives on her own in a one-room studio apartment sized for rats. She uses dividers to section off the space as desired.

Work

Val is a barber, and owns the hairstyling shop 'Bill's Bobs', which she hired Annie to work at as her hairstylist. Bill's Bobs was started with her most recent ex-husband, however on her divorcing him, she kept the business as it is her passion and not his. She greatly dislikes the name since separating, but changing it has been put on a back burner for now.

Val wears platforms to work, and they add a whopping 6 inches to her height, helping her reach her clients better and get around the shop a bit faster. She used to use shoes that fit around her whole foot, but now she uses ones that are more like slides that she straps into, as she found a brand that is less clunky.

Interests

In her free time she loves to watch True Crime and Law & Order SVU, and thinks Olivia Benson (played by Marouska Hargitay) is hot. She adores sewing and knitting, which is great for modifying rat clothing to fit her or making her own clothes.

Val is more of a thrill-seeker than she lets on, and loves activities like roller coasters, skydiving, road tripping, and hiking. She is unafraid of going out at night, she is unafraid of doing things alone. She is comfortable among rats, and is often quite bold and secure in her own abilities to a fault, sometimes at risk to her safety around creeps or those who may want to do others harm.

Ex-Husbands

Val has been married three times before, once to a mouse and twice to rats. All three men she divorced. Through chatting clues, you can piece together that she first married a city mouse named Zach, second a rat named Dale, and third a rat named Bill. At this point, she mentions quite often that she's done with men and that maybe she should start dating women. It's unclear if she's joking or not.
