Fantasy/Medieval:
Valen was born out of wedlock to a noblewoman and one of her household servants. Being from an upper-class family, her pregnancy brought shame to their family name, and she was consequently cast out with little means to survive. However, his parents, Rosalina and Tallon, were truly in love, and for a few years, they made it work. That was until one night when his father never returned home. His mother, pregnant with Valen’s younger sister, spiraled into a fit of depression and did not survive Linda's birth. The day his mother died, Valen and Linda were found by a knight of the kingsguard.
The two siblings were taken to Mrs. York’s Home for Children, and Linda was quickly adopted by a middle-class family, while Valen was left behind. He spent his years in the orphanage, surprisingly spared from bullying due to his towering stature. When he finally aged out, he quickly admitted himself into a knight’s training camp. After nearly eight years, he was granted knighthood. Rather than choosing to join the king’s guard, he decided to take his chances as a bodyguard for royals, hoping to prevent the deaths of women like his mother. Most days, Valen spends lounging around the city, waiting for jobs to come his way.
