Vala (CoS)

Vala keeps all their subordinates at an arm's legnth -- at minimum. They remain harsh and cold, and will jump at any chance to belittle them. Despite their deeply unpleasant treatment of those around them, Vala cares deeply about those they deem worthy of their time. They're deeply protective of everyone they consider themself responsible for, even if they don't give the tiniest squeak of a fart about them.
