▰ The witch known as Victoria comes from a long line of magic users. Her ancestry is purely human, though some of her ancestors have been known to 'alter' their biology through magic. As such Victoria, in hopes of keeping her magical affinity hidden, does what she can to avoid any kind of DNA testing. Just in case.

▰ OBeing a mother with a professional career is a difficult thing to achieve — it was far easier than school, of course, but over time babysitting costs began to pile up. It wasn't until an incident with a certain red-haired babysitting bimbo that Victoria swore out any possibility of leaving her daughter at the hands of unlicensed, unknown babysitters.

Who gives a child a hand grenade anyway?!

She would've sued if the woman had a reliable address...

None the less, Victoria promptly began seeking a job with more flexible hours. With her experience dealing in the bureaucratic system she soon found herself established within the newly-revitalized Galactic Patrol. 

The woman, though not an operative, found herself able to work from home often enough — only visiting ' the office ' to take her cherished daughter out on little field trips, or bring baked good to the agents. 

▰ Gear & Detail:
[Attire for Nightwitch] [Attire for Victoria]

⟐Victoria is very meticulous about her appearance. Refined, neat, and well-kept — all words to describe her. Unless, of course, she is having an off day.

⟐Victoria, in her normal — public attire, has long, silky, smooth black hair. Her lush mane is wrapped around in a scarlet ribbon with black writing. Both her hair and said ribbon extended down to her legs — almost to her knees.

⟐The woman carries with her — everywhere she goes — a multi-purpose grimoire. This enchanted book serves as both an agenda, book of spells, and numerous other purposes. Think of it as a P.D.A., only she can change what kind of writing is displayed within — as well as what others perceive, magically.

⟐Both Victoria and Nightwitch both wear the same sleek, black glasses with a small butterfly the side of each lens, near the glass' hinge. Do not expect to see her without her glasses — ever.

⟐Using her magic, Victoria is both able to severely decrease the length of her hair — as well as mask her ki during her time out as her 'Nightwitch' superhero persona.

⟐Victoria does her best to carry herself with as much dignity as possible. This sense of personal responsibility and self-consciousness about her personal image translate well into even the private sectors of her live — some hypocrisy can be seen cracking through her actions and speech for anyone who is a keen-enough observer. 

This degree of hypocrisy is something Miss D'Arvoire is well aware of, but does her best to either hide it. 

While the idea of 'good' may be applied to Victoria, it isn't without question that she is willing to go above and beyond what one would consider acceptable in order to administer justice. This is just one example of the aforementioned hypocrisy she falls pray to; during the day she preeches obeying law to the letter, however as 'Nightwitch' there are few things she wouldn't be willing to do in order to do what she feels needs to be done.

⟐Victoria never had a problem leading a double life. From a young age, she found herself being split from the pedantic, archaic customs of an exceptionally strict household. Victoria had always understood that the strictness of the household was there for a reason: both her parents had reputations to uphold. Her father, a power broker; her mother, a high-ranking salary woman. Both were practitioners of the dark arts — which, to Victoria, just meant more homework.

Victoria never questioned the necessity to hold the nuclear family's image to the world. Failure to do so would scatter debris in the eyes of both her parents; it would jeopardize their careers and in turn their lives as a whole. She understood she came second — maybe third. Both parents weren't keen on hiding that fact either. Left alone at home, Victoria essentially raised herself. All she had to do was stay in line.

The family lived in a place named 'Seasalt Town': a small, tightly knit, fishing town that rests on a peninsula. There they lived in relative harmony, spending days — if not weeks — at a time away from home, leaving Victoria to herself and hired help. Despite exceeding in her studies, young D' Arvoire found herself needing something more in life. During her teenage years, she found herself leading an almost secondary life; a rebellious stage in which the girl found herself doing as she wished. The punk stage in her life, though short-lived and intense, was something she managed to successfully hide from the scrutiny of all she knew. Sneaking out late at night under the guise of academic pursuits, purchases done through proxy accounts — the list of her creative ways she used to lead a double life went on. That phase and its mindset were cut short thanks to a dramatic chapter in the history of Seasalt Town — the raid.

The day Seasalt Town was attacked Victoria had been out and about. The thirteen-year-old, deciding school was below her, wandered through the town when the assault came. Victoria remembered ducking behind cards, hiding within bushes, playing a high-stakes game of hide and seek. She hid while the army of outlaws ransacked homes, business, and people. She was safe through the event, her wit, and relatively low profile saving her from becoming a primary victim, but not a bystander. She still witnessed enough evil that day to cause a perpetual change in her paradigm. Despite that stage and its brutal end, neither were something she ever showed to family or even those in her immediate social circle; her close friends, however, may have had insight into either.

It stood to reason that as she grew older that skill for walking on that proverbial fence didn’t necessary leave her. Through her later teenage years and into her young adult life Victoria remained thrilled — excited by the idea of leading a double life.

Victoria eventually followed down a path that was very much the middle road between her father and mother. A prosecutor, living in West City; a mother; a witch.

Even as the eventual realities of adulthood came crashing down in the form of taxes, studies, careers, motherhood, the woman felt herself being pulled towards something more. All of the miracles and blessings Victoria had weren't enough. Especially considering she now had a future besides her own to truly care for.

It wasn’t until the eventual rise in fame of a certain caped crusader — Captain Nova — that Victoria hatched the idea. It was perfect. In fact, she felt ashamed as to not having thought of it earlier! Victoria could fix all her problems with one decision. She could reinvigorate her life — break away from the monotony of adulthood; she could secure a better future for her dear daughter; a way to tie-down the loose ends her day job naturally created.

▰ Strengths

⟐Law Savvy: Victoria worked hard through her academic career to become a successful practitioner of the law; she has been both a prosecutor and an attorney. 
⟐WITCH: Victoria is extremely adept with the arcane; in fact, some could say it is a slight obsession of hers — to hone her magical prowess further. 
⟐Grace: Victoria is a true Lady first and foremost; 'Grace' is quite literally her middle name. Sophistication and eloquence are what she lives by.  
⟐Utmost Professional: Victoria D'Arvoire is a professional woman; she is able to separate all walks of life and put them into neat little boxes — with some exceptions, of course. A poor business encounter won't ruin a friendship; a scowling at her daughter won't lessen her love.

Don't expect to attack her and get away with 'just business' though.

▰ Weaknesses

⟐OCD: Victoria has a compulsive need to have clean, symmetric, aesthetically pleasing environments that make sense. 
⟐World's #1 Mom:Out of costume her number one priority is her daughter, Nicolette Rose D'Arvoire. This will often cause Victoria, even as Nightwitch, to yield or hesitate in certain situations; she, after all, has to always get back home. This subsequently also has implications on her true identity; from dating to her career, all of her choices are often made with her daughter's well being above her own.
⟐Overconfidence: Victoria has always been extremely successful. This has caused her to develop a hubris that seeps into all aspects of her life. Often both Victoria and Nightwitch will bite more than they can chew.
⟐Pride: Ties in with 'Over Confidence' above. Victoria has a strong sense of pride, which also bleeds into her 'Nightwitch' character. She will often put a little too much effort just to 'prove a point'. Pride fuels her dedication, magical prowess, as well as her aforementioned drive to tell someone 'I told you so'.
⟐Hopeless Romantic: Victoria has been single for a long, long time. Her efforts at including a love life into her - already hectic - schedule have been less than fruitful. Between punishing criminals, being the best mother she can be, and battling in the court of law... Well, she still keeps her chin up.
⟐Door frames: Victoria is a slender amazon; only an inch shorter than most door frames' heights with her heels, which she almost always has on.
⟐Candy?: Candy.

▰ Training Weights

⟐Tanis has upgraded her black fingerless gloves. Heavy weights have been strapped to the back of her hand, as well as to the wrist portion of the gloves. They now serve a purpose greater than simply aiding in grip,0 andling sensitive material, and looking cool.
