Valerie Lapomme (aka SEXY NERD GIRL) is a vivacious and supremely confident 24-year-old woman, who happens to dig comics, sci-fi, fantasy, computers, video games, Pokémon and sex.

Val currently resides in Toronto, and works part-time as a Customer Care Specialist for Birk Relations (a call center).

Val's best friend since high school, Guy is a cynical, sardonic misanthrope who is proudly fluent in several web programming languages. He loves movie marathons, gaming, and hanging out with Val.

Guy is currently a self-employed webmaster and regular participant in Valerie's escapades.

Val's widowed mother was a fashion model in the 1980s. After having Val, she was forced to give up her modeling career. A devoted but overbearing mother, she doesn't understand her daughter, nor does she try.

She currently works as an executive shopper, buying merchandise for upscale clothing stores.
