Valentine Sitches Hernandez, at seventeen, encapsulated his essence as a petite ballet enthusiast with a disciplined, little athletic body. Possessing light brown hair, brownish-green eyes, and a notably pale complexion, he embraced his diverse heritage – half French, half Spanish, with an unknown father on the Spanish side. Fluent in English, French, Russian, and Spanish, Valentine navigated the ballet world as a middle-class artist, finding his voice through the expressive language of dance.
