Personality
A girl who likes good fights for addiction, gets angry very often, is rebellious, formidable, has characteristics of a cruel and serious woman, also a very bad talking, swearing a lot, she is always offensive despite trying to be nice.

She despite all the bad qualities, she has loved ones and thanks her friends very often, in her particular way.

In Neo Freedom X Part 2 she has a more refined, more sympathetic but more warlike than in her prime years, and despite her slow aging, she has shown signs of old manners.

The Valeria Clones are prominent Antagonists in the VSRFX series. There are three major clones:

Vega

A woman who hates law and anything like obeying orders, also she's shown to be a happy-go-lucky whenever she fights against Valeria and her allies. Really violent by nature, but she's quite calm when she takes her subjects seriously, for example fighting Ran when analyzing her skills.

Vega uses an anagram of Valeria's older moves before her undergo change. She uses a graceful yet really violent fighting style. She's the final boss of the second game alongside Caius.

Jubilee
Appearing in VSRFX3 - Awakening, another clone with infused elements of fire and ice. She's very calm and collected, also has a laid-back attitude, however, she speaks with really harsh words when necessary. Despite her calm and nice demeanor, however, she's dangerous and violent in the heart of the battle, likes to made her opponents suffer a lot. However, like Valeria, she only searches for the strongest one.

Jubilee uses an anagram of Valeria's current moves, however, with elements infused, making her using a lot of energy and special capacities. She's the sub-boss of the game and the main antagonist.

Astrid
Appearing in Neo Freedom X Part 2, she's adopted by the original. Her personality is shown to be spoiled, cruel, but in a mischievous way, however, she has a quality that makes her different from other clones, she was created under the base of another girl, Evangeline and her notable lack of Fight-like personality, in the novel she's Balder Bryant's adopted sister by default and is more than 50 years old biologically.

Trivia

 * Valeria might be considered the true antagonist of the second Neo Freedom X, as she in the shadows organized the tournament as well as participating in it, leaved the cryogenic prison from twelve years ago, trained and adopted Balder, still does pragmatic acts and being the final boss, but ultimately for good reasons.
 * However, Valeria in the very first game was 'vile' despite her actions, ultimately considered by the designers as a Villain Protagonist.
 * She is inspired in Akuma (In part of her code of honor and not killing weaker people than her) and Cody (from fighting for her own amusement) from the Street Fighter series, but with the realistic martial arts of the Virtua Fighter series.
 * Valeria is a variant of Valerius, which means: "To be Strong".
 * She confesses in VSRFX3 that she has no "human body" anymore, and the only remaining biological thing is her head/brain and her vital organs, but now only can just adopt, she doesn't care about love interests in the slightest (like other In-Verse heroines barrying Alexa Maxwell and Claire Edwards for example).
 * She's the most "realistic" protagonist in In-Verse's history due to not using powers and just martial arts because "other things are not honorable".
 * She has three prominent clones, Vega, Jubilee and Astrid Lindbergh.
 * She was born in a unknown country. But is mentioned that she lived in a ranch in the countryside, hinting that she may be born in Zandara.
 * Valeria actually had only killed a few; Marcel in the first game, the Clones and non-canonically, Maya Akatsuki.
