Personality: On a first impression, Victoria may often come aloof or snooty because of the way she carries herself or that dreamy stare that make it seem as though see is seeing through you. However, she is anything but those. Despite her how outer appearance and expression may seem to be, once one gets to know her, they would discover her to be rather warm and friendly.
A habit of relapsing into dreamland mode often gives her that blank stare she is often teased about. She may not be extremely intelligent, but she more than makes up for it with her diligence and dedication in her tasks and activities. Not one to boast, her humble and down-to-earth nature was one of the earliest traits in her life nurtured by her parents.
Victoria is known to be highly-focused and remarkably industrious, willing to put in the extra mile to achieve her goal or complete the tasks assigned to her. Once she sets goals for herself, she becomes incredibly dedicated to her goals, pretty much almost to the point of stubbornness. Those victories sure smell sweet though, and it is that though that keeps her pushing through when the going gets tough.
Bold and adventurous, she is not afraid of trying out new things and is always looking forward to learning new stuff. A good team player who understand the necessity of teamwork and cooperation, Victoria is also an outspoken and ambitious individual who is not afraid to make her views and opinions be known.
It goes without a doubt that Victoria is highly confident of both herself and her abilities, but not to an extent that would make her seem cocky or arrogant. It is simply enough to show that she is passionate enough to be able to stand her ground and fight for what she believes in.

Your First Walker Encounter:It had been a long night after a long day of rehearsals before the performance that she was due to be involved with her troupe of dancers at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in Atlanta. This was a major ballet performance, and Victoria had put in the countless number of hours needed to ensure that a seamless performance was given by her ballerinas. At long last, in the wee hours of the morning, the rehearsals were over as they decided to call it a night and rest up for the big day tomorrow. After saying her farewell to her dancers and asking them to rest well, she left the studio, one of the last to leave the building. On the way home, Victoria stumbled upon what she thought was a drunken man. As she past him, the drunken man seemed to stir, moving up and slowly staggered towards her, as he drew closer to her, she could see that he either looked horribly sick of something was terribly wrong with him. His skin seemed to be flaking off and the hue of his skin was a yellow tint. The sight of his eyes was not something she would forget ever. They were haunting, and definitely not of the living. She quickened her steps into a run, and soon left that abomination behind. The next day, news of an outbreak was all over the media channels.
History Before Outbreak: Victoria was born into the Taylor family in London, England. Her childhood was ordinary, not unlike those of the common average well-to-do child living in the capital of England. Her family was well-off and had the basic necessities and luxuries that came along with what they could afford. At the age of sixteen, the Taylors immigrated to the United States, settling down in Atlanta, Georgia. Despite her parent's worries, Victoria didn't had much difficulties adapting to American culture and way of life. Apart from people making fun of her posh-sounding English accent and the occasional mix-up of British versus American english, the girl got along swimmingly.
As for her family, their financial status improved as her father took on a higher position that entitled him with more pay and benefits, including more time to spend with his daughter and wife. Father and daughter integrated themselves into American culture well, and soon became fans of both hunting and baseball alike, both popular hobbies in the States. Victoria would accompany her father on his hunting trips in the state and beyond, and as she grew older, he eventually taught her how to handle a gun, which included both a pistol and a hunting rifle that was atypical among hunters. She was a busy girl, not one to laze around and waste time doing nothing. When she wasn't occupied with music or dance related matters, she could be found playing baseball, a sport she took up in high school.
Her parents also signed her up for self-defense classes, and Victoria attended the Taekwondo classes in earnest. By the time she stopped, she had attained a blue belt. Joining Emory University after her application was approved was the first major step and that had all gone rather smoothly with her subsequent inclusion in the
Populars clique which saw her mixing around with the elites of the school, the rich, the famous and the attractive. With her majoring in music and dance, it would not be surprising for her to be dancing or listening to music whenever she was hitting the books.
It was on this day that after a series of lectures and tutorials, Victoria would find herself in the library researching and reading up on the history of music and dance. It was there that she would meet someone special who would then become a big part of her life. A guy had come up to her and commented on how nice the books she was reading were. Seeing the blushing flustering guy had brought a smile on her face and that was the start of something new. They ended up going from a quirky friendship before it soon blossomed into a relationship and the two started dating. Her peers in the clique gave disapproving looks whenever they saw her hanging out with Jonas whom they had classified as a nerd. Well, Jonas was pretty nerdy back then, unlike compared to how the guy looks like now.
Despite protecting him from all the abuse he got from the girls and guys of the
Populars, there was only so much she could do, not being with him twenty fours a day. It was on that perspective that Victoria thought that was had made their relationship eventually strained. Soon enough, the couple began distant and hardly talked, let alone hanged out in the following months following Jonas's graduation from university. Jonas soon graduated from Emory,and left without even biding farewell to Victoria. That was the last she thought she would see of him, as she too soon graduated and began working full-time as a singer and dancer. However, Victoria wouldn't get to spend too long in her new job as just as she thought as she getting somewhere and making a name for herself in the industry, the outbreak began and the whole world went to shit.
History Since Outbreak: Victoria's parents were not unaware of the outbreak that was plaguing the nation. After she had told them upon her incident prior, instead of the disbelief that she had anticipated, they actually believed her, and that must have meant that they could have possibly experienced something similar of their own. Quickly packing their bags along with their camping and hunting gear into the family car, intending on leaving town. Unfortunately, they weren't the only one who had that idea, As Victoria left the neighbourhood, she saw that all of their people were doing the thing, cramping bags and other assorted equipment into trunk of vehicles, slamming doors shut.
Roads leading in and out of the cities were clogged by a massive traffic jam as the whole city seemed to have a want to leave all at the same time. The city's infrastructure wasn't built or planned for such a thing, which thereby caused the massive traffic jam that prevented any headway from progressing. The freeways and highways out of Atlanta was facing the exact the fate. She had no doubts that similar incidents like these were happening all across the United States, and possibly the world. With neither of the vehicles seeming to go anywhere, panic started to seep into people as they began abandoning their own vehicles, heading off road on foot.
Victoria and family began camping out in the woods in the vicinity of Atlanta for several months until their supplies dwindled into nothing, be it from their own use or by theft from other survivors. There were numerous occasions where they managed to scare off scavengers, but sometimes there were just too many desperate people to fight with, and they had to part with a portion of their supplies in exchange for their lives.
After coming back from a scavenging trip one day, Victoria returned to the family campsite in the woods only to find the corpses of her parents. There were gunshot wounds to the head which could meant that they were executed or simply murdered. After digging out a grave big enough for both of her parents, she buried then and left the woods, making the decision to head back to Atlanta to hunt for supplies. It was there that Victoria would meet Jonas again.
