Valerie Stride
Valerie Stride is a major NPC in Beastieball. She is the current, 7-time reigning champion of the Beastieball League, and coaches the Radical Queens. If she wins this season, her 8th Crown Series win would mark a new world record.
Appearance
Valerie Stride wears an white outfit with black stripes reminiscent of a martial arts uniform, under which are a dark grey shirt and leggings. She has a matching white headband with a black crown emblem on it, and fingerless gloves.
She has dark skin, thick eyebrows, and large, fluffy brown hair.
Personality
Stride is reasonably self-assured as the champion of the League, and a little bit cocky. She is dismissive, both towards the up-and-coming player and towards the #3 ranked Barnes McBride, but does not seem to have any contempt for them.
When confronting the player about Sports King’s plans for them, she shows a slight bit of fear and defensiveness regarding her position as the champion, and the perceived challenge to it presented by the player and the King.
Story
Stride is first mentioned by name by the Sports King after the player’s third Ranked victory. He introduces her as the 7-time reigning champion, saying that if the player could beat her in the Crown Series, he’d cancel the stadium project in Rutile.
The player doesn’t meet Stride face-to-face, however, until they and Riley meet Stride in an interview featuring Stride and the player. The interviewer mentions that she is one championship away from setting a new world record, and asks if a dark horse like the player could factor into that. She is dismissive towards the player, saying that she hasn’t kept up with what’s “new” or “hype” for fans in a long time, as they’re all simply waiting on her downfall, and that she only focuses on the top.
The player and Riley can spectate a match between Stride and McBride. McBride remarks that everyone’s tired of Stride, and he can’t wait to be the one to beat her. Stride dismisses his flair, and quickly shuts him down in Beastieball.
After the player's fifth Ranked victory, they and Riley are visited by Stride. She tells them that the King told her about his plans for her and the player to face off. She then tells them to give up now, since their plan would fail anyway. She says she knows the King is trying to use them to take her down, and that she won't allow that to happen.
