PERSONALITY
Victoria is soft spoken, and keeps to herself for the most part. She manages the affairs of the Kilvayne home, and her husband manages the Kilvayne business. This arrangement suits her, as she is talented acting as an entertainer and hostess for the social events that the Kilvayne family must host. She is a generally submissive woman, but she won't roll over for just anyone. She does demand respect from her guests, and her employees. She runs the home like a business, and there is a full staff of people on her personal payroll.
She sees her offspring as extensions of herself, so she tends to be somewhat overbearing in their lives. She gets nosey, and will not be comfortable unless she is relating well with her sons and her daughter. She is the matronly type, and is much more connected with the needs and feelings of others than her husband, who spends more time strategizing rather than empathizing.
Victoria is the kind to try and soften her husband a bit, and she does have that effect on him. Her overall personality is someone who empathizes with people, and tries to help them in whatever way she reasonably can. Her personal ambition is to leave the world a little better than she found it, and as such is active in charity work. She has a darker side, naturally. She will stop at nothing to punish those who would harm her family. She will bring every resource at her command to deal with the threat. And she will not show mercy.
APPEARANCE
Victoria's true form is that of a pretty middle aged woman with blond hair, and stunning blue eyes. She stands at about 5'9" tall, and is thin weighing about 119 lbs. She usually wears gorgeous formal wear, and tends to deck herself out in the finest jewlery she can get her hands on. The woman is all about glamor, and will stop at nothing to maintain her high standard of beauty. She does allow her age to show, because she feels she is more relatable if she doesn't look like a wax statue or inhumanly beautiful. With her gifts, she could make herself look much younger than she is. She likes to change her appearance often though, and sometimes she does look younger. It all depends on what persona she wants to show.
ABILITY IF APPLICABLE
Shapeshifting-
Victoria can alter her appearance through shapeshifting. This can be anything from minor changes, such as her hair color or eye color, to fully assuming the appearance of another person. She does this by "imprinting" their genes into her DNA, allowing her to take on their attributes. This does not allow her to replicate powers. To imprint, she requires physical contact. She can alter her sex, her age, her height and weight, as well as her voice (by changing the structure of her vocal cords).She can only assume a human form, and is unable to shapeshift into an animal. She doesn't have any of the memories of the person she is impersonating, so she must research someone before attempting any deep supterfuge disguising herself as a particular individual.
HISTORY
Born in New York, Victoria was the daughter of the upper middle class. Her father, Roderick James Johansson, was a lawyer who married Irene Meredith Helms, after a three month engagement, and never regretted it. They had three children, including Victoria. The others were Jonathan James Johansson and Gloria Meredith Johansson. Victoria was the one who developed a special abilities. She discovered her power quite by accident, when she was a teenager and her friends had goaded her into shoplifting for thrills. They were caught and chased by mall security. Her friends were eventually caught, but as she fled she had imitated the appearance of a random stranger by instinct alone, and gave the mall cops the slip.
She set out to take advantage of this ability, and made it her mission to live any life she wanted. She was a model for a while, going by the pseudonym Estelle Vogue until she got bored of that life. She crossed paths with a criminally inclined young man and lived an adventurous life of international thievery under the alias Venus DeMilo until she had to take on her original and true self to attend school, due to a run in with international police organizations. She decided to try something more along the lines of the usual thing for a young person out of high school. She turned her attention to her studies, and attended NYU to try her hand at the other side of the fashion industry, by becoming a designer. Her studies didn't take over her life though, and she was able to find her way to the all the hippest and classiest parties in the city,where she met a man with a new business empire, built on old money. She fell for him and vice versa, and decided that she would rather live a carefree life of luxury than try her hand at something unstable like high fashion. That was on the surface of things however. She used her ability to do all sort of fun and adventurous things, even after she started having children. She would make some excuse as to why she was absent for periods of time, but with her husband also living a travel laden life, it was not difficult on their relationship to say the least. The children were the ones who had to take the hard part of it all. They were raised as most rich kids are raised, with absent parents and little real connection to family beyond rigid expectations to keep the legacy strong.
She has spent her time lately getting wrapped up in running an underground bordello, and she is the brothel's "madame", under the guise of Lucille DuMaurier. She does this to escape the drudgeries of her life as housewife to a rich and powerful man. She takes advantage of this unique business venture to gain leverage over people likely to threaten the interests of the Kilvayne family and Corporation. She has no idea whether or not Alexander is aware of this, but she feels he would approve if the ends could be shown to justify the means.
She has also been establishing many charitable non profit organizations that filter the massive wealth of the Kilvayne family into good causes. Some notable causes include: Cancer research, scholarship funding, as well as supporting education in science math and the arts. In addition she makes donations to existing organizations. She is a one woman factory for positive public image for the Kilvayne family and Corporation.
