Working out a younger version of Val for this new story has been a lot of fun. I’ve taken some inspiration from my niece, Miranda, who is pretty feisty. In this story, Val is our protagonist. She’s the new kid at school, looking for a place to fit in, but never afraid to be herself.
She’s unafraid and tough and a little bit of a tomboy (an outdated term, I know).
A big reveal for existing Table Titans fans is that Val’s real last name is Winters. She hadn’t really come up with the Bronzebottom persona yet.
