She serves as the series's comic relief, and her overwhelming sex appeal invariably drives boys crazy.Valerie Brown is the African-American bassist of the Pussycats.

Somewhat of a tomboy, she will readily stand up for what she believes in.Alexander "Alex" Cabot III is the rich, snobby, and not very dependable manager for the band.
