This is our femme fatal chracter. Just like the other three of the main chracters in our film noir I drew up a spider diagram to help me work out there profile.
Childhood
Victoria was the only child of Howard and Elizabeth. Her mother and father were classed as lucky. When Howard was a teenager he was in a nasty accident and was told that he may never be able to father children. Howard had always wanted to have a little girl to spoil. On the 23rd of Febuary he got his wish when Elizabeth gave birth to a baby girl; Victoria. Victoria lived with her parents in a big house. She had her own bedroom that was of course all done up. Whatever she wanted all she had to do was aske her father and her wish was granted. This was all possible as, hard as they tried, Howard and Elizabeth could not conceive for the second time. This meant that Howard made Victoria her world. She was in all cases daddy's little girl. Although she got on well with her mother and her mother loved her very much, it was always daddy that she ran too.
Unfortunatly, when Victoria was only 12 her father died tradgecially. Elizabeth and Victoria were heart broken. Without Howard they could not afford to stay in the house so they had to sell up and leave. Elizabeth tried to talk to Victoria on many occassions about how she felt. However Victoria did not want to talk anymore. She closed up. Took herself away from her mother and her friends. Talking only when she could not get out of the conversation.
The death of her father caused Victoria to realise that although she may love something with all her heart, it can still be taken from her. She was not the same girl ever again.
Schooling
Before her father died he paid for Victoria to go to her nearest private school. He beleived that only the best was good enough for her daughter. After he died however, the school knew that it may be possible that this young girl would not be able to afford to come to the school anymore. They dedcied that the best option was to let her sit a test, this was the same test that all students had to tale to see if the were eligable to get a scholarship. Victoria was a bright student and passed the test with ease.
Not only was Victoria a bright student that excelled in all her lessons and showed incrediable promise, she was also a very popular membeer of all of her classes. As she turned into a young women she was invited out to all the parties. 'It was not a party unles Victoria Sweetine was there.' she was once told. This made her happy. At least there were people in her life that cared for her and wanted to be around her.
She never really spoke about her dad to any of her friends, even the ones she counted as the close ones. It was easier that way. It stopped the hurt contiuning to penetrate her.
She passed her exams easily, however she had never had a thought to what she wanted to do with herself after school. She knew she wanted to do some good in the world but not didn't know how to do such thing.
Family
Victoria is classes as one of the most beautiful people of the city. She is famous to be the one that sets the trends and is followed by anyone who knows her. She lives on her own, no one knows of any daughters or sons. There is also no other family member hanging around. No husband. No long-term boyfriend. Just dates when ever she fancied or when she had a special function or ocasion to attend. Occasionaly her mother will vist her, however, since Victoria moving out she has become further distanted to her mother. Her father was the one that always did everything for her. Victoria and her mother were never quite sure how to re-connect after Howard died. Howard was the glue that kept the family together.
Proffesion
Although Victoria's reall profession is not formally known to anyone but herself and the Detective she chooses to have other jobs to keep up her persona. Victoria decided to work in a cafe for a fair amount of time after she left school. This (according to her mother) seemed like a waste of talent. But to Victoria, it got her through. Soon she had saved up enough money to move out. The cafe job kept her going for a few years. However when she had a place of her own she realised that the cafe job would not keep her completly afloat. She managed to get herself a job behind a bar. Her good looks and sexy walk ment that she was a hit with all the regular men. The word soon went around about the new bar maid and it became one of the most hotest joints in town.
This is the bar where she met Detctive Kane for the first time. She instantly knew that this was not your average drinker down the pub. He would ask more questions then what was classed as normal. Aventually Victoria brought herself to ask the Detective what he was after. By some miracle he coose to tell her. She could see that maybe there was somthing in this for her. She had always wanted to do somthing for the better. She met the Detective away from the pub, he explained all about a murder that he was trying to investigate. He beleived it had something to do with the local gang, but he couldn't be sure as they would never talk to him. She knew that it would be dangerous, but she liked that idea of being in danger. The rush that she would get from the adrenaline of helping the Detective out. She agreed to help. She would get the knoweldge and the eveidence that the Detective needed.
It worked wonderfully. A sort of patnership was born. Victoria never looked back.
