[b]Physical appearance[/b]
[indent]Victoria stands at 5'10'' and weighs 130 lbs. She has long, blonde hair that falls to her back and has light gray eyes. Her skin is fair. Victoria usually wears make-up in light shades of red, pink, or blue. Her clothing consists of trendy styles, girly clothes, but is always a fan of a t-shirt and jeans. She isn't muscular or toned.

Victoria also wears a necklace with a small, crystal heart that was the source of her powers.[/indent]

[b]Personality[/b]
[indent]Victoria is strong-willed and determined. She doesn't back down from challenges when they are posed and is eager to prove herself outside of being a superhero. She respects her powers, but feels she doesn't deserve them given her lifestyle up until recently. She is kind of self-absorbed, but that is mainly due to her upbringing and has been trying to think more about others than herself. She prefers the company of others as opposed to being alone and loves being the center of attention.[/indent]

[b]Biography/Background history[/b]
[indent]Center stage: that's where she belonged.

Victoria always had a passion for singing and dreamed of being on stages across the world. Her parents encouraged her craft and bought the best training they could buy. Training and training to be the best she could be, Victoria was pushed to her limits to become a great performer.

When she was of age she struck out on her own, heading to New York. The cold hit of reality knocked her down a few pegs when she was denied access to the big stages. Instead she contented herself to performing in small bars and on the street, while working in a clothing store to support herself.

She finally made it big and was able to perform on a huge stage, opening for a band that was touring. It was then that she got her foot in the door and started having a following.

Shortly after she turned 25, a superpowered attack on the venue she was performing at left her wounded and hurt. The attacker had the ability to use cosmic rays in beam form and only found out about his powers by accident. The attack left him and many others wounded and few dead. Victoria suffered after effects from the cosmic rays. Her parents flew in to visit her as she was in the hospital, in a coma. They left her a crystal heart necklace and some flowers.

It took 12 days for her to finally awaken. She still felt sick and uneasy still. She sat up in her bed and looked around, seeing many cards and gifts from her fans, her agent, but what struck her the most was the small, shiny crystal next to her bed. She picked it up and admired it. As soon as she touched the crystal, she felt a small vibration from it. Shocked, but curious, she held on to it more and felt it pulse. She put it on and it continued to pulse until it finally stopped. She didn't think much of it until the next day when she went to reach for the TV remote to change the channel and formed a crystal shield around it.

During one of her rare uses of her powers, Lloyd witnessed her and reflected on her abilities. He later sought her out and found her on stage during one of her performances. He left his card with her bodyguards asking to meet her after she sang. Curious, she allowed him. It was there he told her he knew of her powers. She was scared at first, but he assured her he was no danger. Instead he had work for her. He liked her powers as well as her singing ability and requested she come work for him. Unknown to her Lloyd's true purpose and work, she agreed and was later employed as part of S.C.A.R.

To this day, she still is unsure of how she got her powers or why she did. Was it due to the cosmic after-effects? Was it pre-destined? was it from the crystal heart itself? She doesn't know, but she does know she can use the powers in her own way.[/indent]

[b]Powers[/b]
[indent]Victoria has the ability to create crystals and use them at her will. The crystals themselves are clear and can be any shape and size, depending on how much power and focus she uses (large crystals would cause her to become unconscious if kept in control for too long). She uses these crystals in a variety of ways, from offensive to defensive measures.

Offensively, she can launch crystal shards at her enemies in various sizes, though she prefers short crystal-like daggers as her main weapon. She can also create crystal bombs that detonate in crystal shrapnel.

Defensively, she can form her crystals around her body as a protective shield from bullets and elemental attacks. She can also form crystal walls and other tools at her disposal.[/indent]

[b]Weaknesses[/b]
[indent]Crystals can shatter with enough force. Sound attacks are her biggest weakness. Victoria can hold her crystals for periods of time with enough focus and power, but if controlled for too long, she becomes strained and weak and may eventually pass out, leaving any crystal she had uncontrollable. [/indent]

[b]Miscellaneous information[/b]
[indent]Victoria has a fan base due to her performances, but they don't know about her powers. She preferred to remain anonymous about it. She doesn't go out crime fighting, but has used her abilities to help some people.[/indent]
