Personality: Having been raised in “high society”, Victoria has extremely high standards. She is not the type to be satisfied by catching and eating mice, nor rummaging around garbage cans for her next meal. A simple card board box just simply won’t do, and must have the best possible lodging available. She will not partake in mud fights. Keeping white fur clean is hard enough as it is, and she does not need anyone slinging dirt at her to make her job any harder. Such standards make it difficult for her to related to the strays that reside in the junkyard, and for that, most find her to be somewhat pretentious. In her defense, Victoria cannot help the manner in which she was raised. She simply cannot bring herself to act like your everyday street rat when she is anything but.
In addition, Victoria holds the same standard when it comes to toms. She wants to be treated well, and to be the sole sparkle in her future mate’s eye. That is why she could care less about gaining the attention from the Rum Tum Tugger. When she was younger, she was naturally attracted to him and enjoyed the winks she received from him, but now that she is older, and mating is an actual option, she doesn’t care to be some “fling” or one night stand. She deserves better…far better. The other queens can vie for his attention, but she isn’t wasting her time.
In the same regard, Victoria has become quite flirtatious – not to the extent of Bombalurina’s behavior, but she desires attention; male attention. Deep down she knows her flirtatious behavior is result of her rebelliousness against her uncle’s wishes for her to mate to a tom of his choosing, but she is still in the stages of exploring herself, and will not bend. Her winks and smiles are subtle and only noticeable by the tom in which she shows interest in, and she is prone to give more time to those that compliment her and make her feel superior.
Despite her somewhat vain behavior, Victoria isn’t above being nice. In fact, she is extremely kind and sociable. She isn’t the type to be overly rude, or express dislike for another without having a reason. Contrary to beliefs, Victoria is extremely accepting. She will be kind and gracious towards you, if you treat her the same way. With regard to close friends, Victoria likes to lavish them with gifts. Most of them did not have the same upbringing as she, and she simply wants to give them a taste of what they could have, (and in her opinion) deserve. She is extremely loyal to those she is close too; however, being still young, she has an open ear for gossip and most definitely enjoys to participate.
History: Victoria is the daughter of two well-to-do felines who once resided in the upper end. She does not remember her parents, nor does her brother. They were both killed in a car accident while being transported from one apartment flat to the next, and upon hearing if their death, Victoria’s uncle, Bustopher Jones stepped in to raise both she and Quaxo.
Under his care, they received the finest upbringing. Having quality owners, Victoria was lavished upon and treated like the queen herself due to the pureness of her coat. Bustopher’s owners were (and are) wealthy, and provided the three of them with quality meals, luxurious bedding and everything a house cat would and could ever possibly need. Bustopher found it important to raise both Victoria and Quaxo said atmosphere – he called it and continues to call it their “birth right”.
Shortly after the twins turned fifteen, Bustopher introduced them to the Jellicle Tribe. He explained to them that the junkyard was to be considered their “home away from home”, and that the cats within the yard, an extension of their family. Naturally, Victoria had a hard time accepting her new family. How was a cat raised in an upper class society suddenly find comfort in a junkyard? How was she to blend in amongst the tabbies and calicos that called the place their home? The idea nearly had her head spinning, but with a little coaxing from her brother, and the kindness of the leader, Victoria grew accustomed to dividing her time between the yard’ and her upper east side home.
While Victoria was young enough to still find pleasure in playing with the younger kittens of the tribe, it was Skimbleshanks that truly reached out to her and her brother. He took interest in the two youngsters, and kept a close eye on them when Bustopher’s itinerary required him to be elsewhere. In other words, he was somewhat of a surrogate father and mentor, and while Victoria found it odd asking Bustopher to represent her during her coming of age, and Skimble gladly stepped in to present her to Plato.
Plato is a hard relationship to define in the young queen’s life. She does find him attractive in a rugged sort of way, but she honestly only allowed him to “make her a queen” due to a spurt of rebelliousness against Bustopher. She holds no real affection towards Plato – not at the moment, at least. Naturally, her uncle wants her to ultimately mate to someone of “her standard” (whatever the heck that means), and Victoria does not take to kindly to being told who she should and shouldn’t bat her eyelashes at. She considers herself a queen now, and while she still loves her uncle as a father, she has made it perfectly clear that she will be making her own decisions from now on. Well…most of them.
