Profile:
Rooney Valkyr is, first and foremost, and with great vehemency- quite a formidable troll. She trains her body daily on the mountains of Busthind, eager to prove herself a strong warrior for the Queen's militia. Following her lusus' teachings, Rooney desires nothing more than to join the military and- quite frankly- show off. She's a troll with an ego the size of Busthind, and can often be found wearing a smug smirk; though she'll rarely offer much in the means of conversation. She thinks that staying quiet makes her seem more cool and intimidating. Seeing as her thoughts generally only fuel her narcissism, this is probably for the best. She is extremely observant, and enjoys picking out the weaknesses and flaws in others, comparing them to herself in the most pompous of ways. Had she been more outspoken, this would without a doubt get her in trouble with the highbloods. Thankfully, she's got sense enough to keep quiet. It's only when her observations prove to point out more strength than flaw, that Rooney will suddenly find herself bristling- her words will turn harsh and challenging. She cannot stand the feeling of inferiority, and will often become furious when she is treated as such. She is, after all, on the path towards constant improvement; therefore, anything she considers a threat to her being she must defeat immediately. Needless to say, Rooney loves nothing better than a good brawl; even if it's quite obvious that she's going to be pulverized. She sees every defeat without death as improvement. The motto "no pain, no gain" is embodied completely by Rooney. She is a survivalist, through and through. She sees every challenge as a mountain that she intends to climb.
Rooney has lived a life of solitude, for the most part; dealing only with the few trolls that manage to find her hive nestled within one of Busthind's many nooks. She has survived "off the grid" for so long, there seems to always be a break in communication between her and more society-based trolls. Ever since hearing of the Rebels, however, Rooney has been deadset on finding them and joining their ranks- much to the displeasure of Boaris, who thinks she should just quietly adhere to the hemospectrum as it is currently.

Weapon:
An old shield bearing her symbol.
Appearance:
Rooney has long, rigidly straight black hair with red-dyed bangs. She's tall and well-built. She wears a shredded dark gray tanktop atop a pair of durable grey pants and bulky black boots. Her symbol is painted in the color of her blood on her right shoulder. She also smears the same paint across the upper half of her face; hoping it makes her more warrior-like. Example. Occasionally she will adorn the hide of a howlbeast she'd hunted with Boaris, to keep her arms safe from the mountains' chill.
Home:
Busthind
Lusus:
Boaris is a large, boar-like creature with many tusks protruding from various places on his face. He is an extremely territorial lusus, and very prone to acting out of anger. He treats Rooney harshly, believing that the strict and serious route is the one that will prove to help her in the long run. He often orders her around, as though she were nothing more than a low-ranking soldier in his regimen. He is 100% dedicated to molding Rooney into one of Alternia's best soldiers and he has a lot of confidence in her abilities.
