Ink manipulation

Level: Novice to experienced

Her hands can produce and move liquid ink around. Think ATLA waterbending, just with ink. The ink comes from ink glands in her hands. Though in dire situations she can cut through her skin to release more ink.

Swimming

Level: Expert

As part of Victoria once being a squid living in the ocean, she is naturally skilled at swimming and can stay underwater for several more minutes than normal humans. She is at her most quick and elegant in a liquid environment..

Fashion

Level: Talented

Victoria has an eye for things that are pretty and shiny. She adores jewelry, pearls being her favorite. Her taste in dresses is expensive, but on point, often making her among the most well dressed at events.

Artistic skills

Level: Talented

With a keen eye for detail and color coordination, Victoria shows a general artistic talent. When living in a castle, she takes up painting, sewing and embroidery. She is however a bigger fan of guidelines and realism than creativity.

Literacy

Level: Experienced

Because part of her stems from the soul of a noblewoman, she knows how to read and write. Her vocabulary is quite advanced and she reads signs and notes with ease.

Dance

Level: Learning

Although a bit harder with six tentacles for legs, Victoria works on her dance moves when she is able to. Luckily her travel companion is an avid dancer. She loves ballroom dances, and dislikes upbeat dancing as it’s hard for her to keep up.

Diplomacy

Level: Learning

In their travels, Victoria learns a lot about helping both humans and halflings get along. This later helps her in her position as queen where she and Richard are tasked with various ethical and tough problems to solve.

Leadership

Level: Learning

When Richard and Victoria take the Miller throne, they are thrown into a steep learning curve about how to lead a people.

Manners

Level: Experienced

Also stemming from her noblewoman soul is a natrual understanding of manners within a more fancy setting.

RICHARD

travel companion / husband

Being the one who broke her spell, Richard is the first human Victoria meets as a halfling. She finds him a bit immature and reckless at first, but comes to appreciate his sweet antics and big heart. The two gradually fall in love and eventually marry.

RITA

mortal enemy

Seeing as Rita is always ready to draw blood to get what she wants, which is the crown, Victoria quickly becomes a target of hers. Being on her killer radar constantly makes Vic build a hatred for her partner’s sister.

FERRET

best friend

Who would have thought that a ferret would be qualified to oversee a castle and watch the children of Rich and Victoria. She has never regret giving him a chance, and sees him as one of her closest friends as they both love order and discipline.

ESME

good friend

Esme and Victoria naturally hit a good tone when they met, even though it started off as threatening. They share a love and respect for the sea. Esme admires Victoria's features, and Victoria admires Esme's free lifestyle

NECROC

good friend

Although they meet under bad conditions, Victoria befriends this misunderstood crocodile and convinces her there is a better life for her out there than villainy. After helping Necroc find her purpose, they try to keep in contact.

JOPHIEL

enemy

A more stuck up bird with a clear god-complex is hard to find. Joph has caused many headaches for Rich and Vic, not just metaphorically. Victoria dislikes his narcissism and inability to leave them alone.

EEP

friend

This small but evidently brave companion of Rajah’s proves herself to be a good friend to both the kingdom and to Vic. Observing the rodent girl grow more confident and skilled in Rajah’s care makes Victoria happy.

RAJAH

mutual respect

Victoria admires Rajah's ability to pull through what life has handed him so far, and for taking a halfling under his wing. They don’t talk or discuss much, but often exchange a nod in each other's direction when passing.

ROMEO

neutral

While not a huge fan of his lack of courage, Victoria treats him like family and is happy to have him and his boyfriend at their side. She will likely never understand what he went through under the terror of his sister Rita.

RAVAH

on good terms

Ravah is a bit too much of a brute sometimes in Victorias eyes, but she appreciates her efforts and cheerfulness. Sometimes a force of nature like Ravah is good to have on your side of war too.

Style: Pretty dresses and gowns. Often a feather or sea motif. Likes wearing blue to match Rich.

Typical environment: Medieval travel environment, so forests and small towns. Later resides in a castle. Sea themed stuff is also nice!

Can be seen with: Richard: Her travel companion. They become friends then love interests, then fall in love, then marry.
Rita: Tries to murder both her and Rich a lot.

Please note:
- She does NOT have ears! Her ear jewelry are attatched to her hair tentacle.
- Her tongue is long and pointy
- She has freckles on her body but none on her face
- She has six tentacles as hair and six as her legs. (Tho im not too fuzzy if theres one or two more.)

Have a look at her Pinterest collection.

Misfit

Victoria dislikes not being fully human or squid and feels uncomfortable around human crowds at first, as they shun or bully her. After learning more about the world she lives in, she accepts herself to an extent though.

An eye for shinies

Jewelry and sparkly things draws Victorias attention very easily and can be distracting to her. She loves getting her hands on pearls, diamonds, gold and silver. She also knows when false treasure is presented to her.

Unnamed

When snapping out of her monster state, she does not have nor want a name. Though Rich eventually suggests the name Victoria from the word ”victory”, which she settles with.

Noble speak

Because her soul stems from a dead noblewoman, she naturally expresses herself with an advanced vocabulary. This surprises Rich, who did not expect a former monster to talk this way.

Team Miller!

Victoria takes the Miller side of all their wars and participates in them with her Ink magic as her weapon.

Night Vision

A handy squid feature lies in her eyes. She can see quite well in the dark, and possibly far if the conditions allow it.

Halfling

Victoria is a halfling, which is a merge of an animal host and a human soul. They usually start off as a vicious monster, as they stem from a curse. If they are murdered in their monster state they will re-spawn as a different monster. To become a halfling, a specific cursed trinket among their treasure must be broken.

Squidlings

Richard and Victoria eventually start a family together and have many children. Like, a LOT of children. Some have tentacle features, some have blue eyes. Some like to play dress-up, while others practice the sword, while others simply climb the ceiling. Luckily the couple are surrounded by friends and royal staff.

Fears

The last thing Victoria wants is her friends being hurt because of her. She is scared of being the cause of the death or injury of someone close to her. Richard’s demise is also a thought that gives her nightmares.

First to the crown

Victoria is the first ever halfling queen in their world, even the first halfling royalty. There have been self-declared halfling royalty before her, but no legitimate crownings with a people in support.
