Until now that is.
When Valerie learned that she would be facing the Aster daughter she was ecstatic. She wanted to put her skills to the test against an opponent of such renown. But her excitement would soon be tempered when she realized that she would not be facing Ivy Aster, but rather her younger sister Hortensia.
While Ivy Aster was considered a prodigy, Hortensia was a lesser known entity. The girl hadn’t even competed in an official match yet. She was likely to be inexperienced compared to her elder sister. But if she inherited even half of her family’s skill and talent then perhaps she’d still provide a decent challenge.
Valerie wasted no time heading down to the ring. She paid no attention to the fans in the crowd as they were not worth her time. Instead she simply slid into the ring with no care for pomp and circumstance and waited to see what her opponent would bring.
