Biography
Valeria is the daughter of the disinherited eldest son of a noble family and a wicked witch named Gudrun Hexe. Valeria has inherted black magic from her witch mother, and she loves to cast evil spells. Her father died when she was seven years old and her mother brought her up in a haunted manor. Valeria attended Ever After High as a teenager, and when she came of age her mother tried to find her a suitable husband, but no man would marry her.

When the widowed king Johann Schwan was lost in a forest, he stumbled upon her cottage. Gudrun promised to show Johann the way out if he married Valeria. Johann hesitated at first, but then he accepted  He brought home Valeria as his new wife. Johann's seven children - Anton, Michael, Peter, Christian, Marcus, Felix, and Anna - feared her. Valeria took an instant dislike to her kids, especially as Anton, the oldest son, was to succeed his father as king. The king sent his children to live in his woodland retreat, where Valeria could not find them. When Valeria learned of the castle, she made shirts for her stepchildren, each with an enchantment. She rode to the castle and threw the shirts on her stepsons, turning each of them into swans. Her stepdaughter went to seek her brothers and learn how to reverse the spell.

The king grieved for the loss of his sons, but Valeria promised to give him a new son. Not long after, Valeria became pregnant, eventually giving birth to a seventh son, Lars. She later bore a second daughter, Hermine, and an eighth son, Robert. Robert was born the same year as Anna's son Fabian. After Robert's birth, Valeria found out that her stepdaughter had. The king, being the good-hearted man he is, pardoned her as long as she would never again use magic on her stepchildren. She has never used magic on her stepchildren since.

Despite this, Valeria has not stopped using black magic. She has moved to Ever After, where she has taken up teaching History of Evil Spells at Ever After High. (Her three children live with the king.) She is one of the less popular teachers, as her snobby and sar. However, she is popular with wicked witch students. Olga Eastwick, Zita Mombi, Mara Westwick, and Alta Singra all idolize Valeria and strive to be like her.

Family
Valeria's home is in her husband's kingdom. She lives in the king's castle, though her room is located far away from the king's. She gets along well with her three children, who have inherited magic powers from her. Her children get along well with their half-siblings. Her stepchildren prefer to stay away from her.

Valeria's mother Gudrun still lives in the woods where Valeria was raised. Gudrun takes delight in seeing her grandchildren, though her step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren do not like being around her.

Friends
Valeria is friends with the other witches of Ever After, including Mrs. Breadhouse and the four Wicked Witches of Oz.

Enemies
Valeria's stepchildren consider her their enemy because she had turned six of them into swans. Her step-grandchildren Bastian Schwan and Mia Schwan also dislike her.
