Victoria Monrey

Personality: 

Solitude and silence seem to bode quite well for Victoria due to her unusual habit of vanishing for days on end in order to complete her latest project.  It is not unusual for her to forgo food and drink in order to witness the fruition of her labor because when she starts something there is no stopping.  She does not have time for the playfulness or wonderment of her siblings for her mind is always whirring with another outlandish idea.  Even so, she does not entirely reject her family, her mother would never allow such insolence and her father goes along with the authority of her mother.  This causes her a slight amount of distress for when she is being tugged away by her mother her inventions go untouched and incomplete.  She manages to socialize with her family and there is no doubt that she does in fact love them, but due to her mother’s unusual view of males she often times feels as though she must prove herself to her in some grand manner.  This could also explain her need to finish a project; her undeniable drive to complete something that will leave her awe struck so that she may see that she is not weak like the male worshipping mares she describes.

Aside from practicing her craft Victoria also enjoys learning new things, delving into the philosophical side of life by contemplating nature’s most closely guarded secrets.  That is why when her estranged grandfather presented himself Victoria couldn’t help but to feel as though she had potentially found her calling.  Not only did Julius pose the questions she wished to answer but he also was looking for an apprentice.  Though this was great news to the youngster she also felt more pressure to prove herself lumped heavily upon her withers.  Not only was she trying to prove herself to be worthy of her mother’s attentions and admiration, but also her grandfather.

This is where Victoria developed the trait of being graceful under pressure.  She does not often become overly stressed and when she does she knows to walk away and attempt to cool down outside of the notice of others.  She is far from perfect though and she knows it.  Her mother loves her no matter what but she cannot help but want to show her that there is more to her than meets the eye.  And though at times she wonders about her father’s intellect she knows that they could contemplate complicated issues together.  There is just something about figuring things out on her own and striving to push past the boundaries that her nature provided her that causes her to continue on as she does.
