basics.
NAME: Victoria Elena Frobisher
NAME ETYMOLOGY:
Victoria Latin for 'victory'.
Elena derived from the Greek for 'torch' or 'coposant' (St. Elmo's Fire), or possibly 'moon'.

SOCIAL STATUS: Asking Victoria (or any Frobisher) about money, particularly their money is something that is triffling and completely unnecessary (it also, embarasses the hell out of her). A skill that is learned young is that when you are born with the entire world at your feet, you don't need to brag about it. So she doesn't. Closer inspection revels that everything (and this is honest, everything), about her subtly speaks of money from her fine clothes to her crisp manners (there's also the fact that no less than six other Frobishers have come before her). What business does her family do? Now, that is something something that might garnished and an answer in the modern day form of a laugh and 'industry and entertainment'. These days, the Frobishers founded one of the largest brewing and important companies in all of Britain, and that's just the start.

appearance.
PHYSICAL: Freddie Frobisher realised fairly early on that her daughter was never going to be little ballerina that she had hoped for. Vickie is short, though she gets a bit terse when people point this out (not because of the fact that she's short, but about the fact that everyone points out that she is). Despite not being terribly below the mean (only 5'3"), she's a bit compact all over, and athletic (less so now than she used to be), which only serves to bring about things like hobbit jokes. Her hair is her prized possession, and while it formerly fell past her waist, she has sinced cut it to being just past her shoulders for easier care and keeping and it reddish-brown. Unfortunately, it has a healthy, rather wild wave to it(and since it rains ALL the time, it tends to frizz), but luckily, anti-frizz was invented. Thank God. She has freckles just mostly across the bridge her nose (a side effect of the outdoors), but her complexion is darker, and loves a good run. She used want to be a professional footballer, and then there was a summer in a spa in Greece, plus the fact that being Prefect with an upper level coursework, which has, well, changed the course of this direction. She still runs and trains in the autumn for interhouse football, because one can't get over that crazy high, but it's now because that bounce is irrestible, not for any other purpose.

Clothing wise, she tries to stay quite kempt, but when she's running about she'll typically wear trackie bottoms and trainers, and have her hair pulled back, but when in uniform, she does her best to look orderly, since the best proposals come from those who at least somewhat look like they know what they're talking about. Jeans and a very nice pair of shoes are a great weakness of hers, but ah well, sometimes she can be a funny sort of girlygirl.

personality.
BEHAVIOUR: Victoria Frobisher (Vickie to her friends...never Tori) is a dork. She used to be more of one, laughing at inappropriate times, falling out of her chair, always wearing trackie bottoms and trainers and her hair up in a pony tail, and being more than eager to win. She loves to win. She's one of the more fiercely competive people out there, if only because glory comes to those who fight for it, by any means necessary. Her father taught her that, and Vickie, adores her dad. Many things about her have changed (the way she dresses for one, she now dresses a bit more, well, cultured, and actually cleans the dirt out from under her nails), but a lot of things haven't. That thirst for victory for one. She loves being told that she's the best, but she doesn't reach for the most typical things. She is more than fine with Mona being HG (poor girl needs something in her life), and even though she was "talked" (the exact words were "negotiated out of") her footballing dreams, she's still got some pretty lofty goals. Like world domination. Well, not quite. She'll settle for hefty praise as she goes to strike out disease, control petrol companies and have people beg for mercy. Maybe even win a BAFTA or two. She lives a great deal in her head, which is why she often times laughs out of turn or doesn't always get a joke the first time it's told (she'll get it about five minutes later). Chances are she just wasn't paying that much attention. Vickie doesn't call what she does plotting, she calls it thinking broadly, which is why she's usually scheming to figure out a way to get her homework done in half the time, but twice as well (or to get younger students to stop stick gum under desks in the library). When she goes into a situation she's prepared, even if what she's prepared for is not the situation she's supposed to be going into. She also, is frequently accused of being too seriously about the wrong sort of thing (namely doing her Prefecting duties...all or nothing, rules, right), which makes her tense, because she used to be really cool (or at least, mellower). Honestly. She also hates being overlooked because she's small or because she has this tendency to stamp her foot when she's making a point. Or snort when she finds something to be really funny.

Vickie has this tendency to infuriate her professors, because she's not a dumb girl, she just puts a lot of effort into into figuring out ways not to do the work. Sure, she's not the quickest wick to burn, but she can apply herself like none other. She just usually is applying herself to the wrong things. Like redecorating the offices of a professor to get a better score on a test, rather than studying (she fights first, then flights). Everything in Vickie's life is a business negotiation, she'll argue herself out of a sticky situation, with smiles and a bat of her eyelashes, trying to make nice, rather than play nice. Rules are reserved for sport, and well, life is a sport, a transaction, and everyone is just trying to screw each other, and the key is not get screwed (and to look good while doing it). Which is what Vickie spends most of her time doing; not getting screwed (she's a tease, of the worst sort). A lot of what she does isn't genuine (what's genuine is the fact that she's convincing you it is, and her will to work for it). She enjoys making people think that they are the only two in the room who have ever had that shared experience--only hers is entirely fictional and she just wants something. She keeps her friends close and her enemies closer. She also tends to complain a lot. Not in public to everyone, but to a few. She never whines, but she does tend to voice her complaints as 'concerns for general welfare'. Which they're mostly not. What's noble about her? Her desire to be the best, and to change the world, to make an impact. Whatever that may mean.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS: Vickie is the student who will spend ten minutes after class, telling stories, exchanging anecdotes with the professor, almost all of which are false. In the failure of this, she resorts to arguing, debating, anything she can to get her way. She's quite good at it. She's excellent at convincing people that what they're doing is what they've wanted all along. The only way to really catch her in the act is the fact that her nostrils flit a bit when she's doing it. There are a few people she's really truly honest with, and those are the ones who know that she snorts when she laughs and makes a mean walrus impression. She's classy first, strong willed and fighting instinct.

LIKES:
- Football. This is her life's blood, though these days she pretends that it's slightly less important to her than it really is.
- Arguements, for the sake of arguments. There will be a lot of times, where Victoria will get into debates/conversations/negotiations, start arguing and wind up not knowing exactly what or why she's doing. She just enjoys the thrill of smashing the life force out of her opponent, and that's really the honest truth.
- Dead Ringers. No doubt. Have you seen that programme? It's hilarious.
- Chocolate creme biscuits. She eats them in her wardrobe, when she's under stress. Usually when she's trying very hard not to cry because something's just happened. Or she thinks something's happened.
- Travel magazines, also she likes to collect postcards and broken watches, Star Wars films, Indiana Jones' hat, lists, languages, photos of doorknobs, Indian food, Man U, Celtic, John Simm.

DISLIKES:
- The colour mauve. It doesn't make much sense to others, but she turns up her nose at anything even vaguely concerning the shade, and instantly dismisses those who are wearing it, using it, mentiong it. It's ugly for one and well, it sounds funny when said.
- Museums, they're boring and they're usually filled with really ugly people. Like portraits of fat babies and dead queens and all sorts of things. She doesn't understand a great deal of art. Of course, it meant something to the painter, sure, but what's the point of looking at it? You could be napping.
- Cherries. Cherry-flavoured things, even if the label says cherry and isn't really,she won't eat it. She won't eat it if at some point in its life might've touched cherries. No. Disgusting.
- Boybands, rappers, Prince, things of that sort. Blech. Billie Piper She also detests the notion of Becks and Posh . No really, worst day of her life, that was, really. Spice Girls, Fugees, 94% of Oasis songs, the Rangers, Man City.
- Days over 24 degrees, those who leave gum stuck to statues, rule breakers (only when they make her work), right turns, garden gnomes, red cards. Horses (god, horses). Monkeys.

INSIDE SCOOP:
- For starters, there's the fact that when she first became Prefect, she used to hyperventilate in a broom cupboard for five minutes every night.
- Then there's the rather embarassing torch she carried for Fred Weasley for not one, but two entire years (no one knows about this, and no one is ever going to find out), because well, he is kind of fit. In that salt of the earth, not have two stones to rub together sort of way.
- Victoria is a compulsive maker of lists, on notecards, on scraps of paper, anything really, as a way of relieving stress.
- She also still sleeps with a stuffed Kiwibird named Goosey (don't ask).
- Her mum had an affair with her father's nephew, but her parents are still stressfully married due to one ironclad prenup and the need to keep up appearances.
- She is oddly afraid of HELLO! magazine.
- Fairy tales make her cry (she reads them, still, even now, and hates them, bitter resentment).

history.
PERSONAL HISTORY: Victoria is the only child of Winifred 'Freddie' and Samuel Frobisher, and she's their miracle baby, if they say so themselves (her father's testicles are like little peach pits in her mother's own words, a turn of phrase that provides too much information for Victoria's taste). Despite normally hailing from outside Andover, England, the Frobishers have various homes all over (Freddie currently resides outside Edinburgh, Scotland and Samuel's permanent home--he travels almost excessively-- is in Cromer, Norfolk, England). As a result, Victoria was given all the love and affection of two children (her mother insisted on calling her "Victoria" even though she would rather be called Vic or "Vickie" when she was younger, which her father heeded). Freddie Frobisher spent much of Vickie's young life "travelling" and well, her parents didn't really have much in common (still don't, of course, they're still married, iron-clad prenup and all that, but they both live with separate people, in separate places) except their daughter, and well, Vickie spent much of her time palling about with her dad, learning the tricks of his trade and spending a lot of time in his office goofing off with her football while her brokered deals. She didn't care about the deals were, per se, but she did learn a lot about making them (namely get what you want or die trying), and travelled a lot with him. Her mother is a classy, structured woman, though she's frivolous, hell-bent on living for herself, rather than for others (luckily Freddie has money on her own), where as Samuel was the more driven individual, keeping on the family ways.

School before Hogwarts College was spent namely in the 'school of life' manifesto, as the Frobishers hadn't really incorporated education into their life plan for their daughter. Or themselves. Luckily, Vickie was a bit self-sufficient (one had to pick it up when one's parents were capable of taking care of themselves, but not so considerate of others, let alone a child) and did things like reading, and learning on her own so that when her parents wised up and got her a tutor, she wasn't so far behind (she asked almost an excess of questions as a kid, and usually the uncomfortable ones, gathering information to swipe and blackmail). Growing up amongst a constant stream of semi-disposable adults, and the very rare child made Vickie an adult well before her years, and have a very odd perspective on life. She negotiates everything, looks to bribe her way out of things, and doesn't believe that shady dealings are shady because, well, that's how she saw all of her life go on. Of course, her parents living situation is hard for her to take, and makes her very bitter at times (mostly towards others who didn't have to and never had not put with it), but she puts on a bright face and fights. She likes to get what she wants, and well, isn't afraid to stop, so when she got to school, she was ready to conquer it much the way her father was conquer his deals. Football is a hobby, a refuge that came about when she was younger, and led to one very steamy fling with a boy in Spain that broke her heart and left her a bit sour and distrustful of the male persuasion (she still wants someone just like her father, which she doesn't think is very possible, as he's fantastic), and she tends to think her mother is a bint. Which Freddie might be, though Freddie is where Vickie gets her looks from and off-kilter sense of humour. Their relationship, is very odd, and while it was almost absent for most of her young life, it has started to rejuvenate during these later years.
