Appearance: Victoria stands at an even 6’ and weighs roughly 160lbs. Her hair is a fiery red and never overly stylized; typically cut short so that it falls just past her ears. Years of difficult sports training have left her limbs strong and limber: a versatile athletic build which she carries with comfortable ease. This manner of body language along with her elegantly sculpted features; a smooth jawline, gently sloping nose, slightly arched and well-manicured eyebrows, and a thin mouth; and striking green eyes gives her a positively regal aura which her mood of calm determination hardly dispels. She wears a set of steel half-plate armor, the metal dyed red with dull gold caps and highlights and the leather a dark earthen brown, over which is draped a tabard of black silk bearing a single gold cross. A thick hooded-cloak is hung over her shoulders, black with gold trimming. A large shield is carried on her left arm or strapped across her back, it’s black metal body adorned with an image of twisting thorny vines and a single blooming rose done in gold, and her other hand grips the hilt of a beautiful, though plain, silver bladed hand-and-a-half sword.

Personality: Victoria is often calm and collected, a natural leader who does everything she can to conquer problems with logic and precision. She has a very mature grasp on her emotions and will rarely be caught in an outburst, though this can sometimes leave an impression of coldness with those she’s just met. While often having responsibility thrust upon her, as opposed to taking it herself, she has grown very accustomed to being the one making suggestions in the social groups she spends time with and simply hates long instances of indecision. She is friendly and caring, highly protective of those she considers friends or comrades, but has a hard time opening up as it makes her feel like she’s relinquishing control. This can lead her to be burdened by many problems and responsibilities, even those that aren't her own, up to her breaking point.
History: Victoria was born and raised in Pennsylvania, USA but moved to Yokohama, Japan when she was 13 years old. Her dad was in the military, a well decorated general who imparted in his children a will to strive ever onward and upward as leaders and warriors. She was never really interested in video-games before being trapped in NTO, she borrowed her younger brother's copy when she came home from university to visit, but has managed to throw herself in wholeheartedly while gaining a good understanding of the game mechanics after the initial shock passed. This does mean, however, that she is rather lacking on the finer points of social etiquette and gamer jargon often saturating MMO-culture. Nearly 15 years of intense basketball training and being a starter for one of the US's strongest women's basketball teams with very high WNBA prospects has given her a very sharp mind and tactical insight that allows her to quickly analyze all sorts of enemies and battlefields. She spent the majority of the 6 in-game months training, alone at first but eventually with another player who would end up being her closest friend within the virtual walls. Though Victoria has fallen into the routine of NTO life, her thoughts rarely straying from the next boss fight or equipment optimization, she longs to be released from the game's clutches so that she can see her family once again. She'd never imagined she could miss the dysfunctional relatives so much.
Likes: Leading, Basketball, Dressing up, the thrill of combat, puppies.
Dislikes: Feeling helpless, those who take advantage of others, video games
