She is unaware of her Cylon nature and serves for two years as Lieutenant Valerii on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', where she is assigned as a [[Raptor]] pilot and also engaged in a secret relationship with Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]]. After the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]], her underlying programming repeatedly emerges which leads her to unconscious acts of sabotage. Growing confusion about her true self result in a deep depression and a failed suicide attempt. After Valerii returns from a successful mission to destroy a Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]], she shoots Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] in the chest, wounding him critically. She is incarcerated in the [[brig]] and soon afterwards killed by [[Cally Henderson]]. | ||

She eventually works together with [[Caprica-Six]] in an attempt to change Cylon popular opinion about humans and she emerges as one of the Cylon leaders jointly responsible for the end of the occupation of the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]] and later the Cylon occupation on [[New Caprica]]. Following the failure on New Caprica, Valerii abandons her hopes for coexistence with humans and she denounces her past on ''Galactica''. However, while she feels that she belongs to Cylon society, she is not fully integrated into it and relatively isolated among her peers, particularly from the rest of her model's line as her vote to lobotomize the [[Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raiders]] leads to a [[Cylon Civil War]]. | ||

As far as she is aware, she was born on the mining colony of [[Troy (RDM)|Troy]], as the daughter of a family from [[Aerelon]] ([[Flesh and Bone]]). Troy itself was destroyed in an unexplained cataclysm, allowing Valerii's background to be established as that of an orphan. Following her arrival on board ''Galactica'', she enters into a relationship with the ship's Chief Petty Officer [[Galen Tyrol]], which is against military protocols concerning fraternization between officers and non-officers. Whether this is unintentional or a subconscious reaction to her Cylon programming remains unclear. | ||
After repairing the Raptor they are mobbed by desperate civilians and undertake a rescue operation. Lifting a number of children, Valerii states there is room for three adults.

After being found by [[Laura Roslin]]'s group of stranded military and civilian ships, Valerii works within the new civilian [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]], assisting Roslin's attempts to gather other stranded civilian ships in the space surrounding Caprica. She finds a number of ships critical to the fledgling Fleet's survival, such as a fuel tanker.

After the newly assembled Fleet, led by ''Galactica'', leaves the solar system of the Colonies, Valerii aids in other critical acts, including the discovery of a [[tylium]]-rich asteroid, replete with an active Cylon mine ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]), and locating a source of water to replenish the Fleet's lost supply after the sabotage of ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> stores ([[Water]]). | ||

Her Cylon programming is the cause of the sabotage of ''Galactica'''s water tanks ([[Water]]). Later, she likely assists a copy of [[Aaron Doral]] to access a munitions store. The Doral copy constructs a suicide bomb which nearly kills Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] and Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] ([[Litmus]]). | ||
Valerii finds herself soaking wet, after she awakes to her human personality shortly after the bombs used to destroy ''Galactica'''s water tanks were planted. She becomes increasingly concerned and starts to question her true self.

Tyrol distances himself from Valerii after this incident, and he later ends their relationship following the arrest of Specialist [[Socinus]] (Litmus).

Valerii finds short solace in Baltar's test, but deals with an anonymous accusation, when she finds the word "Cylon" written on the mirror of her locker; though it is possible she wrote it herself, unknowingly ([[Six Degrees of Separation]]). | ||

Frightened and alone, Valerii withdraws into herself and attempts suicide, but is initially unable to do so. During her second attempt, she is interrupted by Dr. Baltar who, rather than discouraging her, essentially gives her his blessing on her suicide.

The mission is a success, but when the weapon would not auto-release from the Raptor after landing, Valerii exits the ship and enters the basestar. Inside, she encounters a dozen copies of herself, confirming her worst fears. Valerii escapes in the Raptor just before the warhead detonates and destroys the basestar. Back on ''Galactica'', her encounter with the other [[Number Eight|Eight]] models on the basestar apparently triggers Valerii's Cylon programming to emerge once more, and she shoots Commander Adama in the chest while being congratulated on her successful mission in [[CIC]], wounding him critically ("[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]", "[[Scattered]]"). | ||

During her imprisonment, Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] attempts to forcibly extract information from her at gunpoint, but Valerii stonewalls him and even asks him to shoot her ([[Scattered]]). Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] is later incarcerated in the same brig cell by Tigh, also suspected of being a Cylon. While imprisoned together, Valerii tries to convince Tyrol that her feelings for him were real and important, but he rejects her and threatens to kill her if she touched him. | ||
[[ | [[Image:Sharondeath.jpg|235px|Valerii dies in Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol's]] arms.|right|thumb]] | ||
Dr. [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] later enters the cell, ostensibly to collect a blood sample from Tyrol to prove his innocence using the [[Cylon detector]], but he instead injects Tyrol with a potent toxin that would kill him in a matter of seconds if Baltar does not give him an antidote. Baltar interrogates Valerii, demanding to know how many other Cylons are in the Fleet, using the dying Tyrol to blackmail her. Valerii first protests that she does not know, but as Tyrol is about to die, she reveals that there are eight other Cylons in the Fleet and Baltar then revives Tyrol. | Dr. [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] later enters the cell, ostensibly to collect a blood sample from Tyrol to prove his innocence using the [[Cylon detector]], but he instead injects Tyrol with a potent toxin that would kill him in a matter of seconds if Baltar does not give him an antidote.

Specialist [[Cally]] who considers Valerii responsible for Tyrol's imprisonment breaks through the crowd holding a gun and shoots Valerii at point-blank range. Valerii's last words are "I love you, Chief" and she dies in Tyrol's arms ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]). | ||
Valerii's body is sent to the morgue and autopsied. Later, the recovered Commander Adama visits her corpse, asking "why" aloud, and weeps over her body. Adama pronounces a very mild reprimand for Cally, sentencing her to 30 days in the brig for discharging a weapon without authorization. Cally is never tried for murder, since Cylons are not seen as people ([[The Farm]]). | |||

On rebirth, Valerii rejects her Cylon nature and continues to call herself "Sharon" instead of "Eight," even going so far as to reclaim her former apartment (502) on Caprica. A copy of [[Number Three]], representing the status quo of the Cylons, is deeply disturbed by this and suggests that Valerii be [[boxed]]. | ||
[[Caprica-Six]], also seen as a [[Hero of the Cylon]], protests and Three advises her to get Valerii to change. When Valerii laments the loss of Tyrol, Caprica-Six tells her about her own love for a human, [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]], which prompts Valerii to inform her that he is still alive. Suspecting that Three has an ulterior motive and wants to box both of them, the two play along and Valerii announces her intent to move out of her old apartment. After a [[Caprica Resistance]] bombing, Valerii, Caprica-Six, and Three are trapped in a garage with the resistance's leader, [[Samuel Anders]]. There, Caprica-Six reveals their true intentions and declares that Valerii and herself are celebrities in a culture of unity, and, through their love for humans, have realized the horror of the Cylons' actions. Using their celebrity, they could convince a large portion of the Cylon society of their new belief that the genocide of humanity was wrong.

After telling Anders to escape, Valerii agrees to help Caprica-Six reveal the truth of the genocide to the other Cylons ([[Downloaded]]). | ||
Valerii and Caprica-Six are obviously successful in their attempt to change popular opinion among Cylons about the genocide on the human race. According to a [[Cavil]] model that is briefly incarcerated on board ''Galactica'', Valerii and Caprica-Six convinced a majority that "the slaughter of mankind was a mistake" which ultimately leads to an end of the occupation of the [[The Twelve Colonies | Valerii and Caprica-Six are obviously successful in their attempt to change popular opinion among Cylons about the genocide on the human race.

One year later, Valerii is one of the leaders of the Cylon force occupying [[New Caprica]].

But as other Cylons start to consider the occupation a failure, her influence appears to decrease quickly, most evident when she is unable to secure Henderson's release from detention or to remove her from the death list ([[Precipice]]). Their initial plan on New Caprica, "to push past the conflict that separated us from humans for so long", fails and the occupation is ended after four months ([[Exodus, Part II]]). | ||
Following the retreat from New Caprica, Valerii is on the same [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] as Caprica-Six and Baltar, and assigned responsibility for the Cylon-human hybrid child, [[Hera Agathon]].

During this first meeting between them, Valerii informs Agathon that her daughter, Hera, is still alive, and she suggests that Agathon will never be fully accepted among humans, because they continue to treat her as a thing ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]). | ||
After Agathon downloads into the Cylon fleet to recover her child, it becomes clear that Valerii resents her, possibly out of jealousy for her connection with Hera and Agathon essentially replacing her on ''Galactica''. Valerii has been growing increasingly frustrated by her inability to make progress with the child. She also states that she is done with her past on ''Galactica'' and that the failure of New Caprica has taught her that humans and Cylons cannot coexist.

Suggesting that Cylons were never meant to have children in the first place, Valerii threatens to kill Hera but is knocked to the floor by Caprica-Six and killed by her former comrade ([[Rapture]]). | ||
After the [[Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raider]]s refuse to take any offensive action for fear of harming the [[Final Five]] Cylons in the human fleet, Valerii votes in favor of lobotomizing them into effective fighters once again. This is in contradiction to the opinion of the rest of her model, breaking the stalemate between the [[Number One|One]]s, [[Number Four|Four]]s, and [[Number Five|Five]]s in favor of lobotomization and the [[Number Two|Two]]s, [[Number Six|Six]]es, and [[Number Eight|Eight]]s against it.

After [[Ellen Tigh]]'s resurrection, [[Number One]] allowed Boomer to witness his numerous audiences with Ellen. Though initially aligned with Number One's distainful view of Ellen, she eventually establish a bond with Ellen and came to understand her perspective on Cylon creation. This led to her escape with Ellen when Number One ordered the [[Number Four]]s to surgically remove Ellen's brain for memory extraction. | |||
