Editing KHoS:Valeria (section)

==Trouble: Form Over Function==
...Valeria is, unless strictly supervised, incapable of designing a weapon without at least one unnecessarily complicated moving part that makes it impossible for anyone but her to wield it, and which serves no actual useful purpose. Indeed, as a general rule, whenever given the choice of accomplishing a goal in a simple and straightforward fashion and accomplishing it in a roundabout, inefficient but flashy way, Valeria will choose the latter almost every time.

On a field test for one of the latest Kleinberg designs (with Valeria insisting on tagging along at age of 14), they were unexpectedly attacked by a kaiju, and the tester was crushed. Valeria saved the day, partly by wielding the weapon with surprising skill (she had been practicing), and partly by driving away the monster by using enough explosives to level a small village. Unfortunately she did, in the process, level a small village. Fortunately, no one was hurt (by the bombs, the kaiju was another matter), but Valeria was urged to be more careful in her liberal use of demolitions. A piece of advice that she has thus far mostly failed to take to heart.

The incident cemented in her once and for all the desire to be a hunter.

Invoke for: Operating at the seat of her pants or coming up with plans crazy enough to work

Compel for: Whenever her preference for flash over substance causes things to go south or her to make stupid decisions
