Valt was always an inquisitive young girl, sticking her nose into places it didn't belong and only occasionally being punished for her curiosity. She spent her early years devouring every scrap of interesting material that lay in her suburban home, then moved to the surrounding lawn - a small forest ay behind her house, a child's haven. She would spend hours a day there, exploring every nook and cranny, toting her favorite books there to curl up in a soft spot and read.
