Valium

"You know... I was always a big fan of a passionate color like red..."

-Valium flirting with Alastor.

Varon Takahashi Crawford, more commonly known as Valium, is a cafe owner, former florist and mafia boss, and the second patient at the Happy Hotel. A cat demon who more or less acts like a father figure to everyone, he is a peaceful demon who also believes redemption for demons is possible and supports Charlie's dream.

Apppearance
Valium is estimated to stand around 6'6". He is kind of slim with light peach skin and pearly white fangs. He has neck-length black hair with two cat-like ears extending from the top of his head, sapphire blue eyes with spade-shaped pupils, and a long cat-like tail that is black with a white tip. He wears notable red eye shadow and black eyeliner.

Valium's normal attire consists of an off-white top worn beneath a black vest with gold buttons, a grey and black fabric tied around his neck, a black jacket with a pale gold lapel that has pins on the left side, a pocket with fabric in it, and two gold buttons on the torso, black pants with slightly torn fabric on each leg, a black belt held by a gold buckle and black shiny shoes with thin strings lacing the middle.

When he was an actual human, Valium had messy brown hair, dark blue eyes with normal pupils, and wore glasses with circular lenses and brown rims.

Human Disguise
In his human disguise, his skin is the same color but loses his cat ears and tail in exchange for normal ears. His hair is white and his eyes are dark red. He wears a white button-up with a crimson bow-tie at the neck, a dark blue jacket with the torso, shoulders, pockets, and sleeve cuff lined in silver to match the several buttons and the lapel is shaped like a red heart matching the ornament on the side of the cuff. Around the navel is a black belt with a rectangular gold buckle. Comes with plain white gloves. Dark blue denim pants with the cuff lined in silver, matching the pocket coloring. A crimson belt is included with a silver buckle. Black shoes with details and shoelaces the same color and soles with alternate shades of black and short heels, and short white socks that have two dark red rings circling the top.

Personality
Valium is mostly a person who knows that sin is wrong but is able to cope with his current circumstances. He is known to be a bit of a prankster, like Angel Dust, but tries to be completely playful and not destructive. Valium's attitude can be considered to be very honest, has a great sense of style, and always carrying a bit of a flirtatious and confident persona everywhere he goes. Valium actually does have a caring side for the people that are not his relatives. During a battle with one of Valentino's thugs, he quickly pushed Erebus out of the way when a demon was about to shoot them both with a gun. Then when he noticed his teasing about the hotel’s lack of people was upsetting Charlie, he stopped laughing and tried to comfort her, but then he ultimately decided to leave her alone.

Due to being a family man, he cares very much for any of his relatives, especially his daughter and son. He used to truly love Nafrini and had married her with the idea of having a perfect family. But after witnessing her "death" and finding out that she was actually alive, he grows to hate her for not only abandoning their children but to also being responsible for the death of his own mother and almost getting his daughter killed. He sometimes refers to himself as a "bastard child" due to himself being the result of a one night stand between Pegasus' father and a maid, which after he was born the maid had "disappeared".

 * Musical, Dancing, and Theatrical Talent: Valium is shown to display moderate vocal abilities and excels at dancing (tap, ballet, ballroom, tango, figure skating) as shown in Alastor's reprise in the pilot and many other episodes. He also shows a bit of a flair for theatrical showmanship. This skill can also amplify his seductive power and induce demons who hear him to fall under manic sexual energy.

Unique Abilities

 * Crossing: Valium has the ability to cross into the human world without the need of any magical objects.
 * Portal Creation: Valium can get around easily as well as transport others easily via the portals he makes.
 * Cryokinesis: He is able to control ice itself as shown when he uses it against Valentino's thugs by creating a thin sheet of ice to make them lose their balance.
 * Human Shape Shifting: Valium can take on a convincing human appearance to disguise himself in the living world.
 * Animal Shape Shifting: Valium can also transform into a cat in both the living world and Hell.
 * Sex Hormone Stimulation: Valium has the ability to trigger anyone's sex hormones by seducing anyone he makes contact with through his beauty, voice, or touch, and triggers anyone to become sexually active. However, these effects work only on demons since humans and angels appear immune to the effects.
 * Sinful Indulgence: A odd unique ability that he had named himself. Valium dances around 'seductively', attracting attention from his chosen target. He then creates the impression of a body much more physically attractive than normal, or the target's idea of a perfect partner. This serves as a lure, bringing the target towards Valium in an infatuated state, leaving them defenseless as the target struggles against the illusion or idea of harming an attractive being. However, as soon as the target enters Valium's reach, he launches a sudden, sharp punch into his target, throwing them back. Through this technique's use, there is a one-in-ten chance that the target will remain infatuated with Valium, severely lowering the chance of them launching a successful attack against him. However, the primary downside of this technique is the single target, leaving this ability only truly useable in single combat or small groups.
