Description: This younger middle-aged woman is dressed in earthy colors with a violet and green handkerchief worn on her right side, and a wedding ring on her right hand. Her hair is greying and her face has many wrinkles. Her blue eyes show the wear and tear of someone lonely with a great burden to carry.

Personality: She swings through moods quickly. One moment she is cool and collected, the next she is carried away by passions. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Vicky is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: From birth she was tutored by a cruel and relentless mentor. Vicky was a troubled youth. She spent her days as a hard laborer instead of attending school, and spent her evenings with numerous mobsters and gang members.

During her early adolescence, she took a sudden opportunity while working the docks and commandeered a vessel that was left unmanned. She used her abilities to trick people and travel the world for free.
