Early years
For most of his life, Valen's mother was away travelling the world for work related reasons, so he never really got to learn french from her or be close to her. He moved to Japan around 3 years old and stays there up till now. Valen's family revolves around fashion. His mother is a famous fashion designer in France & his dad is a retired clothing designer. Because of this, Valen got interested in dressing up and fashion & now has it as his main hobby. Growing up, Valen met Michi Tsuji in elementary school. Valen would describe Michi as his ‘older sibling’ and both deeply cared for each other. Michi was really fascinated by idols and promised Val they will make a unit together when they grow up.
War era
(suicide mention tw) Enrolling into Yumenosaki, both created a unit going by Eternal Sleep with a kawaii metal theme. But during the war, the unit was running low on funds & Valen lost the interest to maintain the band, often being lazy to go do practice, it was hard to keep up. Unbeknownst to Valen, Michi was struggling with several issues in their family and at school. Knowing Michi, you would never suspect something was brewing up. Sadly, due to the overwhelming pressure from the war, they ended up killing themselves. This affected Valen pretty badly. It felt like losing a part of him. Knowing what was going on because of the war, he started to hold the biggest grudge for Eichi. Valen started skipping school, distancing from everyone and soon Eternal Sleep was on the verge of breaking up from inactivity.
Last Year (Enstars! Era)
With the help of Ryota Masaru, Valen managed to rebrand Eternal Sleep into AD★RE, a J-pop, synthpop unit with a cutesy starry theme. He wished to avoid anything negative and leave everything in the past related to Michi which caused the rebrand of the unit. Because of that, Valen tried to cover up and destroy all documents and evidence of Eternal Sleep ever existing in the first place. AD★RE went into great success this year, carrying on Michi’s promise. Valen became more active in certain activities and genuinely felt much better.
Kaoru Hakaze
Their first impressions weren't the best. After Valen comes back to Yumenosaki after a long "hiatus", he encounters Kaoru by accidentally following his scent in the hallway. Kaoru, obviously, thought that was creepy and kept pushing Valen away - both were scared of each other. This happens a few more times, naturally making Kaoru dislike Valen even more.
Some time later, Rei introduces Valen to his unit, UNDEAD. Kaoru becomes startled at how "someone could be friends with such a creep". This upset and frightened Valen and he held himself back, attempting to avoid Kaoru at all costs. More or less days pass, they run into one another occasionally. Valen realizes how easily teasible Kaoru is and here starts the whole fun. That made Kaoru confused and irritated at Valen for being too friendly towards him. Despite being pushed away constantly, he still held on tight to Kaoru, hoping they'd get along.
Eventually, they got closer, with Kaoru realizing that Valen was pretty genuine towards him, which made him less strict, returning the buddy-buddy gesture. However, Kaoru never lets anyone know about this, afraid of ruining his pride.
Still bewildered by Valen's closeness to him, Kaoru, after some incidents occur, opens up to him further: his inner thoughts, emotions. Valen found it relatable (losing someone personally close) and their bond kind of grew even more. Kaoru finally asks why Valen keeps "clinging onto" him for so long, despite being shoved away. Valen laughs this off by telling him that "he saw a spark in Kaoru, something good in his heart", puzzling Kaoru deeper. Valen did not elaborate (iam not elaborating either).
Both are in a close friendship as of now, Kaoru seeing Valen as someone reliable. Valen still enjoys teasing Kaoru, but not to the same extent as before.
