(rough draft) Victoria was born in Central City to what seemed to be a stereotypical wealthy family. She had all the comforts of life in her early childhood: fancy foods, expensive clothes, a large penthouse/condo in the middle of the city and various vacation homes, etc. Such wealth, however, did not come by a legitimate means, likea lucky investment or inheritance: her parents were selfish, greedy con artists who made a living through running multiple scams and pyramid schemes across Eurish. While Victoria was still young, her parents were caught, arrested, and sentenced to life in prison for their crimes. With nowhere to go, Victoria was placed in foster care at a local orphanage.

When Victoria first arrived at the orphanage, she was immediately targeted by her peers. Though contrary to her persona, her fancy clothes and well-to-do image made the other kids see her as a 'wannabe princess' who thought she was better than everyone else. She was bullied quite often, constantly teased and outcasted. She was able to defend herself quite well physically, though; however, the other kids did not ease off of her one bit, railing on her more and more each day. Soon, she became the prime target of the other kid's bullying.

Before long, the harsh treatment began to weigh on Victoria's mind. No matter how much she wanted somebody—anybody— to stand up for her, no one would: not one of the other kids, and not even the faculty working there. She was alone, left to fend for herself against constant attempts to tear her down. One day, the stress became too much; she snapped, ran into her room and sank in a corner, crying uncontrollably. In the midst of this meltdown, she began to feel...different, as if something triggered inside of her by the weight of her heavy emotions. Moments later, she passed by a mirror; peculiarly, she couldn't see herself in it. When she suddenly reappeared (and scared herself) she realized something was wrong.

Little did she know, this was the first emergence of her powers.

At first, due to her lack of control over them, they began activating at seemingly random times. The projections and illusions she involuntarily created made the kids—and even most of the faculty—think she was 'cursed' or 'haunted'. This only made the bullying get worse and worse for her. But over time, however, she caught on to them; and, through sheer willpower, began teaching herself how to use her powers to get back at the people in the orphanage. She often used them to steal snacks, toys, etc. without anyone noticing; play pranks on the other kids and faculty; and escape from her room during bedtime, among many other tricks. Even though she acted out mostly for attention, the label of 'troublemaker' was now tacked onto her, and pretty much everyone there at the orphange hated her.

One day, a couple of years after the emergence of Victoria's powers, a well-known Mobian scientist named Oskar ("Alloy") came and adopted her. After bringing her home with him to an underground sanctuary in a mountain range near Spagonia, Oskar revealed to her her identity as an inheritor of the Reactor gene. He then homeschooled and trained her alongside her surrogate brother and fellow Reactor Rico ("Overclock")—and eventually, Sydney ("Volt")—to teach them how to use their powers responsibly. Years later, the 4 Reactors formed a vigilante gang to restore their ancestors’ honor: DVNz. Victoria currently is a student at a local public high school. Her vigilante identity, Mirage, is kept a secret. However, unlike the other DVNz, no one outside of the gang knows what her power actually is; she uses her illusions to disguise them.
