LIVIA "VALKYRIE" FERREIRA

Race and Faction

Background

Livia “Valkyrie” Ferreira was born aboard the spaceship Last Frontier in 2601, a child of the fourth generation of Exohuman pioneers. Her family bore the Portuguese surname Ferreira, symbolizing strength and craftsmanship, values deeply rooted in their heritage. Known for her resourcefulness and bravery, Livia found herself drawn to adventure and danger from a young age.

After the crash landing of Last Frontier on VOI 700-D, Livia’s family was granted land by the Free State of Settlers to build a new life. However, Livia had little interest in the quiet life of farming. At sixteen, she joined a group of Show Catchers—hunters and scouts tasked with capturing escaped livestock, tracking raiders, and patrolling the untamed regions of the Settler Free State. Her years among the Show Catchers honed her instincts, tracking skills, and combat readiness, earning her the nickname “Valkyrie” for her fearlessness and swift, decisive actions in high-risk situations.

When the Great War broke out, Livia enlisted in the Volunteer Army of Man, where her experience as a Show Catcher proved invaluable. As a squad leader, she led daring rescue missions and defensive maneuvers, often using her scouting expertise to outmaneuver the enemy. After the surrender of the Exohuman forces, Livia returned to a fractured world but quickly sought structure and purpose.

Determined to bring order to the chaos, she applied for a position in the Federal Sheriff's Department through the GAIA system. Assigned to the volatile south-eastern section of the Trade Route, she now serves as a Deputy tasked with escorting and protecting caravans of the Federal Courier Service. Her meticulous planning and unwavering dedication make her one of the most respected Deputies in her division, combining her past experience with her unshakable commitment to justice.
