Background
Chiropteran Queens are the descendants of a bat spirit and Queen Serenity's younger twin, Tranquility, from the days of the Silver Millennium and their lineage continues in modern days. Every Chiropteran Queen is born as a pair of twin girls. One with eyes of red / reddish-brown eyes and one with blue eyes. Vanessa and Valerie were born in what would now be known as Ho Chi Minh City in modern days on October 31st, 1829. While Vanessa was born in the afternoon, Valerie was born at night. At some point in time, her family relocated to California and resided in Cerris City for a long time. When her maternal grandfather was slain by a demon, it caused her to awaken as Sailor Nix and Vanessa to awaken as Sailor Styx. In previous years prior to 2015, she has attended Cerris Military Academy and even graduated from the academy multiple times. Instead of going into college after graduating Cerris Military Academy in 2011, her family decided to move to Tokyo, Japan within that year for her grandmother to reunite with her elder twin. In 2013, she began attending Touou Academy and met her first comrade, Mihiro Kasamatsu aka Sailor Charon. She is also the small forward on the team and her jersey number is #8. Her team gained the reputation of being “Mistresses of the Underworld” as they crushed their opponents on the court. After graduating, she and her family moved back to California, and she attended a state university in Domino City. (City taken from Yu-Gi-Oh! and placed in America.)
Relationships
Family
Tom Nguyễn and Theodora Wáng (parents), Vanessa Nguyễn (elder twin sister), Méi gui hóng Wáng (maternal grandmother), Luca (deceased maternal grandfather), Flora Wáng (aunt), Annie Wáng (maternal cousin), Báixuě (maternal grandaunt), Saya and Diva Otonashi (second cousins)
Her parents are loving but also strict. In addition, they are overprotective of her and her twin sister. Their parents drive them to school every day even in Japan although their parents have agreed to let them walk home together with their basketball team. Their father is a talent pianist and he taught them how to play. Their mother makes them practice playing the piano every week. Theodora loves gardening and makes them help her in the garden.
Vanessa is a Red Chiropteran Queen and Valerie's elder twin. Vanessa was born in the afternoon, but Valerie was born at night. Although their bloodline had been curses that each pair of Chiropteran Queens would put themselves first and couldn't coexist in peace, because they and the generations before them were raised equally, there's no chance of the curse taking effect on them. The girls are always together and even sharing a room (although they sometimes take naps in different rooms). They even share similar interests such as tastes in men and food. However, Valerie can be more playful and is a better singer while Vanessa takes most things seriously and can be awkward with people she isn't as familiar with.
Méi gui hóng Wáng is a Red Chiropteran Queen. Growing up, Theodora would often tell Vanessa and Valerie tales of their grandmother's exploits as Red Riding Hood at the age of 16. (Not Little Red Riding Hood as mortals tend to believe). Both twins admire her beauty and their grandmother helped raise them. She cooked for them and bought them treats and toys.
When the twins were younger, they often traveled with their grandparents. The demon who slayed their grandfather caused them to awaken as Sailor Styx and Sailor Nix. They regretted that they couldn't awaken earlier and blamed themselves for his death, but their loved ones reassured them that it wasn't the case and told them that Luca wouldn't have blamed them. They grieved for him for some time before coming to an understanding that he is now in a better realm of existence.
Aunt Flora is their mother's younger twin and a Blue Chiropteran Queen like Valerie. She is a talented singer and cook. Compared to their mother, she is gentler while lecturing them but can still be fierce like their parents. She loves cooking for the household and the twins love her cooking as well.
Annie is Aunt Flora's youngest daughter and a Red Chiropteran Queen like Vanessa. She as influenced the twins' music tastes and interests in Asian dramas. The twins often confide in her, and she often advises them. She often teases Vanessa.
Báixuě is a Blue Chiropteran Queen and their grandmother's elder twin. When the twins were little, they were told that their grandaunt was Snow White. They refer to their grandaunt as "Great Aunt". When Vanessa and Valerie came to live in Japan, Báixuě offered them part-time jobs at her restaurant, the "Snow Rose". Vanessa works as a bus girl (since carrying trays of food makes her nervous) while Valerie works as a waitress there. They also enjoy working at her restaurant and her cooking.
Saya is a Red Chiropteran Queen and her younger twin, Diva, is a Blue Chiropteran Queen. They are Vanessa and Valerie's second cousins, and they attend the same school. They are first years while Vanessa and Valerie are third years. Diva sometimes helps at Snow Rose while the three of them work part-time at the Snow Rose. Valerie and Diva get on well because of their love of music, playful natures, and being fellow Blue Chiropteran Queens and liking blue. Valerie likes doing karaoke with Diva but has to tell Diva to stop teasing Vanessa.
Friends
Satoshi "Ash" Ketchum aka Neptunus Knight
When Vanessa and Valerie were disguising as 13-year-olds and Satoshi was 10 years old. She, Valerie, and her grandparents were staying at Pallet House, the restaurant and inn owned by Satoshi's mother. This allowed them to meet and be friends. Vanessa, Valerie, and Satoshi share similar interests in animanga, Disney animations, and Jackie Chan movies. All three of them own Noraemon (Kuroko's Basketball name for Doraemon) and Pooh Bear stuffed animals. Vanessa and Valerie often traveled to Portland, Oregon, with their grandparents when the occasion arose, and Satoshi and his mother got the chance to travel to California to visit their family. The twins have convinced Satoshi to get social media accounts so they can stay in touch despite their long-distance friendship. They reunite in Tokyo when Satoshi must move there. They discover each other's alter egos and cooperate.

Love Interests
(Inuyasha) Yasuo Taisho aka Lunar Knight
In their previous lives, they met during Princess Serenity and Princess Tranquility's 14th birthday ball. When the attendees were asked to dance with someone from another home celestial body, Valerie found herself staring at Queen Serenity's first prince, Prince Lucian and the prince smirked at her when he caught her staring before bowing and invited her to dance. Nix boldly accepted his invitation and they spoke during and after the dance then kissed in the rose gardens of the Moon Castle. She remembered him from their past lives, but he didn't. His cold attitude and bluntness put her off but since they're both of supernatural and mixed human lineage with sharp noses, they were able to connect their civilian forms to their alter egos because of their scents. As they cross paths with one another, Inuyasha finds her to be brave and Valerie sees a more protective side to him. As they fall in love all over again, Inuyasha eventually recalls his past life memories and his previous romance with Vanessa's past incarnation. When he is 18 on documentation, they get married.
Her type of person is a man who is intense.

Allies and Teammates
The Plutonian Moon Sailor Guardians
Mihiro Kasamatsu aka Sailor Charon
In their past lives, they met during Princess Serenity and Princess Tranquility's 14th birthday ball and Vanessa, Nix, and Potámi were able to relate to being mixed Plutonian, mixed Lunarian aside from being fellow Plutonian Moon Sailor Guardians with the duty of protecting Princess Pluto and became good friends. The three of them met in their current lives as classmates in the first year of high school. Mihiro peer pressured Vanessa and Valerie into joining the basketball team as bench players and made them practice basketball with her during lunch break. Valerie caught onto the new skills Mihiro taught her pretty quickly but she had to tell her friend that her elder twin needed to be taught from a left-handed perspective. Mihiro praised Valerie's abilties and said that she would make a good small-forward which led to Valerie claiming that position later on. Thanks to Mihiro's training, the twins made it on the girls' basketball team as regulars in their second year.
Minette Kurokawa aka Sailor Kerberos
While Valerie recognized Minette as Aminta from their previous lives, she was stunned by Minette's coldness and how she defeated Kimiko Toratani, their power forward to claim her position on the team. Valerie always felt stressed seeing her elder twin get in between Mihiro and Minette. Minette's attitude rubbed Valerie the wrong way but still, she tried to remain professional and patient with her due to a part of her wanting to give her a benefit of the doubt due to her memory of Aminta, the fact she was Kaoru aka Sailor Hydra's cousin, and the fact she is a fellow Plutonian Moon Sailor Guardian. Sailor Kerberos tries to act on her own and when Sailor Styx is reminding her that they are a team whether she likes it or not, Sailor Nix must chime in. After Minette began to see Vanessa's kindness, she saw it in Valerie as well as recognizing that the twins have their individual qualities, she also asked Valerie why she was still kind and Valerie replied "Because people make the world cruel but only people can be saved by others. No matter what happens to me, I cannot stop being kind.” Hearing that made Minette see her in a new light.

Inspirations
I don't have a twin in real life, but every Chiropteran Queen comes in a pair of twins. The twins having similar tastes in food and men were inspired by the twins in the manga, Red River. A long time ago, my coauthor cousin listened to me attempt a Disney crossover idea with Blood+ and she suggested that I combine fairytales with female protagonists with Chiropteran Queens so that worked out well instead. She headcanoned that Chiropteran Queens originated from China and Snow White is a story from Germany which is why my self-insert has Chinese and German blood in her. Her senshi earrings are a combination of her stud earrings as a Vietnamese Zodiac senshi and the ring earrings my self-insert possessed as a Vietnamese Zodiac senshi. Her soundtrack and three of her attacks were recycled from my discarded Sailor Nyx who has been revamped into a Prince of Tennis oc. Twilight Sonata's name inspiration is the classical music piece "Moonlight Sonata", Midnight Strikes is based on "Moon Gorgeous Meditation" and renamed to think of the clock striking at midnight like in the Cinderella fairytale, "Sweet Dreamy Atmosphere" is named after the saying "Sweet Dreams", and "Nyx Nocturne Embrace" definitely had to include the name of the Nocturne classical music piece. Part of Valerie's statement to Minette is partially inspired from a quote from the Kdrama, Cain and Abel, "Man, can ultimately be saved by man." Naturally, as twins, I believe they needed to have the same voice actresses.
