Valerie (Patreon)

Hello there!

Here is Valerie, the Fairy-type Gym Leader from XY!

I think she actually has even bigger eyes in the official design, but I decided to stay in my comfort zone instead of going straight into the uncanny valley! XD

By the way, did you know there’s a fun theory connecting Valerie, Team Flare, and the Moon? The idea is that Team Flare members might actually be "moon people." They all wear those distinctive goggles, supposedly to hide their unusually large eyes, while Valerie doesn’t wear any goggles at all, which is why we get to see hers in full.

The theory also points out that Valerie specializes in Fairy-types, which have several connections to the Moon. One of the most iconic Fairy type (Clefary), for example, evolves through a Moon Stone and has long been associated with lunar imagery.

Is any of this canon? Probably not. Is it a fun rabbit hole to dive into? Absolutely! XDYou can find the new waifus of this month in the new PACK 118 of thePATREON GALLERY (2026 WAIFUS)
