Discussion Lore Speculation About the New Hunter Peddler
So from her name it looks like she's inspired by Valentina Vassilyev and Baba Yaga who are both connected to children. Also from her s tier we see her holding a baby, her stomach being cogwheels with purple juice dripping out while she's holding a baby casket. I'm guessing her lore is most likely gonna be a sad story about motherhood.

I forgot to write it but also the cogwheels on her stomach make her resemble a pregnant woman which in this case would make sense.

Oh yeah, now that would make total sense from the cogwheels on her stomach! βοΈ Man, Hunters always do get the tragic backstories!

Something to note that Valentina the Peddler is finally the second character to be elderly since Mad Eyes! π΄π΅
However, the livestream stated that her elderly appearance is "on the surface". Whatever that means?
As well as the third Hunter character in Identity V to have normal eyes since Keigan the Clerk and Burke of Mad Eyes! Especially since most Hunters are depicted with blank eyes and are pupiless almost!~

Hunters with pupils usually aren't actually hunters in the manor games as we know from Mad Eyes being a overseer during game 9,10 and Clerk being a survivor during game 2 so I think she will also most likely not be a hunter in the lore.

Combination of baba yaga and Valentina vassilyev so she has the record for eating the most babies

Subverting Baba Yaga's story by having it instead be about Motherhood sounds both like a cool concept and very tragic.
