Valentina Love/Half Goddess

This is the side, where there are information about Val being a half goddess.

Half Goddess

As a Half Goddess, life for Valentina can be a bit hard. She was born above the skies, where rule the Gods. She is the daughter of Aphrodite, the God of Love and Beauty. Valentina's father was a normal human, so-called mortal, but because Aphrodite dated several humans and Gods and she does not know who Val's real father is. Her powers came from her mother but are a bit different than her brother's. As Valentina isn't a Goddess, she doesn't have the limited power and can die as a normal mortal can. She doesn't speak with the Gods very much or pray to them, she even doesn't pray for her mother.
