Hobbies: Family – Vicky’s family is the most important thing to her in the world. She goes to every birthday, every family reunion, basically she’s at any family event. Growing up she spent as much time with her siblings and cousins as possible, hating to play by herself. If anyone was to threaten or god forbid actually hurt any of her family she wouldn’t hesitate to kick some a**. Ever since she moved to Destiny City she’s written home to her parents and siblings once a week every week, updating them on her life and how she’s doing.
Primping – Victoria loves to look pretty. It’s one of her highest priorities. She’ll spend hours in front of a mirror figuring out what hair style will make her look the best. Or just what colour lipstick she should wear. Her makeup collection has absolutely exploded since she moved to Destiny City; there wasn’t much time to make herself pretty in Courtland since she was always working the farm. She takes twice as long as any normal person to get ready and go out and she refuses to leave if she doesn’t look perfect. She loves getting manicures and pedicures, and don’t even get her started on massages. She adores the spa and goes there any chance she gets. They didn’t have spas in Courtland, unless you counted the mud that the pigs wallowed in (which Vicky didn’t).
Youtube – After all that primping and preening Vicky has to show it off! She loves to record little half hour clips and toss them up on Youtube. She talks about life in Destiny City, comparing it to Courtland and how crazy it is in the ‘big city’. She’ll also vary it up with movie reviews (the movie theatre had 20 screens! The one in Courtland had two, she was still overwhelmed), and sometimes even book reviews. Her little show seems to be a hit, having a decent following. She does the show for herself more than anything, she loves the attention from all the ‘little people’.
Down home country girl – Having lived on a farm all her life Vicky knows quite a bit about running one- even though she tries to hide it. She can hog tie a pig, milk a cow, and shear a sheep amongst other skills. Even knowing all of that, she would rather use the botany skills she picked up growing corn and potatoes. Her little vegetable garden is the only evidence of her farming lifestyle. Well, that and the fact that Vicky’s physically stronger than she looks. She doesn’t have washboard abs, or giant biceps (ew, she’d die if she did, girls shouldn’t be covered in muscles), but years of hard work have toned her body. She’s not ashamed of her family’s background as farmers (Her family had the best farm in Courtland according to Vicky, everyone else’s just paled in comparison); she just doesn’t want to be seen as a cow-tipping hick (even though she’s done enough cow-tipping in her day to be considered one), especially since she’s going to Crystal.
Virtues: Responsible – Growing up on a farm Victoria’s learned the meaning of responsibility. She’s had chores for as long as she can remember, and she knows the value of keeping your word. When she’s giving something to complete she gets it done and to the best of her ability. She’s not one to slack off or procrastinate, because really, what’s the point? You still have to do it and by procrastinating you’re really just making it worse. She rather get things done, and get them done right. If Vicky tells you a thing is going to get done, then you can bet money that it’ll happen.
Confident – Victoria knows she’s better than you, and knowing that gives her a huge ego boost. Vicky’s super confident in everything she does, failure isn’t an option, only succeeding and being the best is. She knows she’s hot, and she knows how to get what she wants and she’ll use that to the best of her ability. Victoria won’t hesitate to ask a question if she doesn’t understand something, or approach a random stranger to get directions. She frequently spends anywhere from fifteen minutes to a half hour staring into the mirror telling herself how wonderful and awesome she is so that she can boost her confidence that much more.
Personal Acheiver – Vicky will most definitely look a gift horse in the mouth. She’s well aware that there’s no easy way in life, and anyone that says different is just selling something. She avoids deals that seem too good to be true, and naturally doubts anything that seems too outrageous. She’s quick on the uptake, and is good at sifting through all the bull s**t to get to the truth of the matter. If someone offers her something significant (a job just because she knows someone, large sums of money, etc) she'll decline. She wants to make her own way through life and not have to rely on others. Unless of course that's how she planned things to work out from the beginning. Vicky's fine with taking things from others if she's spent the time manipulating them into giving them to her, using someone to get what you want is a hard job after all. She hates to owe people favours, so the only kinds of freely gifts she will accept are superficial gifts (flowers, candy, shoes, etc), but don't expect a gift back from her.
Silver Tongue – As Vicky’s always telling people, just because you grew up on a farm doesn’t mean you’re dumb. Victoria’s gifted, mainly in communications. She seems to have the easiest time in the world talking to people; she never got nervous before group presentations in school. Not only is she at ease talking in front of people, she can quickly figure out the best way to talk to them to get the desired effect. Whether it be mediating an argument, or convincing a boy to buy her things. She also has one of those voices that are generally pleasing to listen to, like Morgan Freeman only less manly.
Flaws: Vain – Victoria loves her mirror, she loves to sit in front of it and just marvel at how pretty she is. She goes to great lengths to keep herself up, go look up ‘high maintenance’ in the dictionary and there’s a picture of Victoria. Back in Courtland she was never able to spend so much time on her appearance since she was always working the farm, but now the extra hours are spent figuring out ways to make her look even more beautiful, if that’s even possible (and she’s not sure it is). She hates getting dirty if she doesn’t have to; she’s been in a lifetime of mud working on the farm thank you very much! She tries to avoid getting dirty the best that she can, but if her job (as a civilian or Negaverse agent) requires her to she'll brave the dirtiest places without complaint.
Shallow – Looks are everything to Vicky. It really doesn’t matter what your personality is, because frankly she doesn’t care. She only wants to be seen with pretty people and luckily for her Destiny City seems to have an overrun of the gorgeous and attractive. All her relationships (bar family ties) are completely superficial. The only thing they’re good for is to be used to get things, or places. She can act the part of a friend wonderfully (in day to day life Vicky doesn’t treat people like crap only because she knows that one day, she might need to use them for something), but she doesn’t really care. All her niceties are fake and if you come to her with a real problem she’ll just blow you off. The only reason she has friends really is to use them to get what she wants.
Elitist – Victoria is better than you and she’s well aware of it. You know who else is better than you? Her family. In Vicky’s mind the only people that matter at all are her and her family. Everyone else is pretty much worthless and a waste of space. It’s possible that one day, someone would be able to actually be valuable in her eyes but they’d have to be pretty ******** amazing.
Thinking you’re the best all the time can give one an inflated ego and Vicky definitely has that. She thinks she’s amazing and can do anything, which obviously isn’t true. When she runs into people who actually are better than her (see: Charonite or Beryl), she gets a mean reality check which throws her world for a loop for a couple weeks. Instead of being supremely confident she begins to doubt herself, and her little used journal gets pulled out so she has a place to vent her doubts where no one can see them. Being constantly pompous and self-absorbed leaves her with no actual friendships and so she’s pretty much empty on the inside, except for her family. Once people figure out her true nature, they generally ditch her and never look back. The loss of a friend doesn't bother her as much as the loss of a resource, and all that time she wasted investing into them to get what she wanted, but ultimately in the end, Victoria knows she will get the better of them - just wait and see!
Unforgiving – If you cross her Victoria will never forget it. She has a mind like a vault, and she holds on to grudges like it’s nobody’s business. It doesn’t matter how much you apologize, or if whatever you did was an accident, frankly Vicky just doesn’t give a damn. You did something to cross her, and that’s enough to get you on her s**t list for life. The only people she’s willing to forgive are those related to her, everyone else just has to bear her wrath.
