Valeriana is a supporting character of Amphibia.
She is a ghost Newt from long ago that had created the Music Box to use the power of the Calamity Gems. In the present day, she's one of the many vendors at the Bizarre Bazaar. She sells several treasures she found in her countless years of travel, and she claims to have "seen and heard it all". She also has a purple parrot-like pet named Leander.
Appearance[]
Body[]
She is dark brown with a yellow underbelly, and yellow spots along her tail. She has light red eyes, with slit, dark shaded red pupils, and medium length, grayish-blonde hair. One of her eyes appears slightly out of shape and possibly damaged. Her tongue is a slightly light tone of teal, and her mouth is lined with short teeth. She's missing her right arm but uses her prehensile tail as a replacement.
She has reddish-brown "crests" over her eyes, which resemble eyelashes similar to a gecko. However, she is most likely a salamander, due to reptiles lacking sapience in Amphibia.
Clothing[]
She wears a stitched black cloak over her body, with beige armbands. She also has a hanging black pendant with a red hourglass symbol similar to a black widow spider on it and gold rings on her neck.
In her true form, her cloak turns white including her armbands as yellow markings appeared in her left armband, her hoodie and at the bottom of her dress, the hourglass symbol in her pendant also turns blue.

A scroll saved from one of the libraries in Newtopia indicates that she invented the Calamity Box and united the ancient Amphibian kingdoms. She was known to be the wisest Newt of them all. Under one banner based on interdimensional conquest and ambition, this led Amphibia to a golden age, but she felt guilty when that unity segued into the absolute subjugation of other worlds. As time went on, it's supposed she eventually died of old age but kept seeking for redemption in the form of a ghost along with her winged purple companion Leander.
In "Bizarre Bazaar", Valeriana arrived in Wartwood Swamp as part of the Bizarre Bazaar to sell some treasures she collected. After coming back from lunch, she met a "mysterious creature" named Anne Boonchuy. Anne started to ask her questions while Valeriana was showcasing the artifacts she collected over the years in her younger years. When Anne asks if she ever saw anything like her, she replied "not exactly". She then witnesses Marnie, another vendor, steal Anne's backpack and she and Sprig set out to get it back. After Anne left, Valeriana asks Leander if Anne could be the one they've been searching for.
In "The Second Temple", Valeriana explains to Anne, Marcy, and the Plantars that she is the last of an ancient order that studies the Calamity Gems and temples. Upon seeing the music box again, she goes into a trance asking to hold it, but Anne puts it away out of suspicion, sensing something more with their guide. When an avalanche strikes on the mountain, Valeriana decides Anne and her friends are not worthy of the stones and forces them to find the temple on their own. When Valeriana is listing all the times Anne made selfish decisions, she reveals she stole the music box, to which Anne admits. Just as Valeriana is about to fall to her death hanging on the edge of the mountain, Anne risks her life to save her, accepting responsibility for all the mistakes she made. Valeriana then reveals that the mountain had been the temple the whole time and allows Anne to recharge the stone, which takes too long and Anne eventually takes it before it's fully charged to save her screaming friends heard from a distance.
In "The Hardest Thing", Valeriana appears in the throne room of Newtopia Castle and uses the music box to restore the powers of Sasha and Marcy, allowing the girls to fight The Core, which had fused with the moon to destroy its enemies. After Anne sacrifices herself to stop the Core and is revived by the Guardian, Valeriana uses shards given to Anne by the Guardian to power the music box one last time to send the girls home. After Anne, Sasha, and Marcy go through the portal, the box disintegrates.
With the Core destroyed and Amphibia being restored, Valeriana's ghost can now move on.
