Valen

Overview

Bullfrog’s mother, and Neon Drift’s girlfriend. Hasn’t appeared on screen; referenced repeatedly by both of them across Session 0 and Session 1.

“Valen” itself seems to be a nickname/short form she dislikes — Bullfrog calls her “Ma” instead specifically to avoid upsetting her. Neon Drift separately calls her “Velveeta” as a pet name. Her full given name hasn’t been stated.

Known Facts

  • Neon Drift checks in with her about Bullfrog’s life (to Bullfrog’s visible annoyance — “Quit talking to my mom”).
  • Bullfrog refuses to call her by the name “Valen,” using “Ma” instead.
  • Neon Drift is protective and a little anxious about staying on her good side (“I would never forget Velveeta’s name”).

Relationships

  • Neon Drift — her boyfriend; he’s taken on a stepfather-ish role toward Bullfrog partly because of this relationship.

Appearances

  • Session 0 — Referenced during the crew’s links/relationships discussion.
  • Session 1 — Referenced multiple times; Bullfrog and Neon Drift’s dynamic around her reinforced.
