Valeria, the movie version, is a bit different than the literary Valeria.  In most of Howard’s Conan stories, women are prizes or wenches; in Milius’s film, Valeria is the woman of women, special and elevated, the new man’s equal, the other half of his soul.

According to the early script, and the novelization, Valeria had also endured long nights as a Pit Fighter.  For this reason I gave her levels as a fighter.  To the right is a production still from the cut flash-back scene where Valeria remembers her Pit Fighting days.  Also, as indicated from cut dialogue, Valeria was a leader of bandits, implying that she was probably a better fighter than a rogue, so I decided her rogue level would be lower than her fighter level.

Combat

Valeria fights with a scimitar, but she knows how to use just about any weapon.  Ruthless and reckless, she lives by a philosophy of "Do you want to live forever?"
Back to the Main Menu
When Conan and Subotai prepare to climb the tower of Set, they confront Valeria--whose dialogue identifying herself was left on the cutting room floor:

  GIRL 
Ha!  Two fools who laugh at death.
 
She sheathes her blade smoothly.  They do likewise

  GIRL 
I am Valeria.
 
Subotai is taken aback.

  SUBOTAI 
I’ve heard of you--they call you a queen of thieves! A master!  Where are your brigands?
 
  VALERIA 
Cowards and lackeys.... Scared of Set--and-- Thulsa Doom.

With this scene removed, not once in the movie is Valeria identified or addressed by name.
