Valerica Steele

Valerica is one of the queens of squirt, and as you know, I love squirters. I've filmed with her twice. A super cool girl.

Valerica Steele is an American adult film actress born in June 1999 in Maryland. Babepedia gives her birthplace as Annapolis and IAFD as Baltimore. She is a petite, heavily tattooed and pierced performer who often changes her hair colour, from black and purple to blonde.

She debuted in 2020, at 21, and quickly became one of the most in-demand alternative-looking performers in Los Angeles. She was nominated for the XRCO Teen Dream award in both 2021 and 2022.

In 2024 her award recognition grew sharply, with nine AVN nominations that year alone. These included Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene, Best Foursome/Orgy Sex Scene, Best POV Sex Scene and fan-voted honours such as Favorite Female Porn Star and Favorite Porn Star Creator. She was also nominated as Best Non-TS Female Performer at the Transgender Erotica Awards. Further AVN nominations followed in 2025 (Best POV Sex Scene, Best Trans One-on-One Sex Scene) and 2026 (Best Double Penetration Sex Scene), for about 15 nominations in total.

She remains very active in studio and creator content.

On the Plug Talk podcast, Steele said her stage name comes from the video game Skyrim, not Game of Thrones. She grew up in Maryland, where the opioid crisis around Baltimore affected even her schoolmates, and she left at 18: "I got out as soon as possible." She described herself as "probably the most antisocial [person] you'll ever meet". She started stripping at 19 while living in Minnesota and moved to Florida at 20. She told Bang.com that she cammed only briefly before stripping led her into porn. She has worked in a tattoo shop, and many of her tattoos were done by apprentices; she called her armpit tattoo the most painful. She typically flies to Los Angeles to shoot every day for two or three weeks, then goes home to her boyfriend and her cat to edit her own content.

In a May 2022 appearance on The Bougie Show, Steele talked about gaining confidence through porn, about why she was not shooting anal at the time because of discomfort, about helping male co-stars with erection problems and about tattoo discrimination, and she again described herself as an introvert. In February 2025 she returned to work after what the podcast Behind Her Scenes called a dangerous car accident, and appeared on its Valentine's Day episode with host TJ Dee, who described her as one of the industry's most requested performers.
