Story[]
Prior to the game, Victoria was a vestaling of the Crystal Orthodoxy who was discarded for suffering a fatal illness. Taken in by Braev Lee, Victoria was to be saved by Victor S. Court using the White Magic cables. However, Victor's father Vincent S. Court used the forbidden alchemic genesis process to give her new life. This caused numerous side effects that included her stunted growth, and caused her emotions to spiral out of control to the point of insanity and tied to her degenerative condition which required regular treatments in White Magic stasis chambers. Regardless, sharing Braev's desire to end the Orthodoxy as she murdered Vincent in a moment of clarity, Victoria joined him as a member of Council of Six alongside Victor. Not sharing Braev's ideas, Victoria's only motivation is destroying the Orthodoxy and anyone who gets in her way.
Victoria removing the competition for the Sacred Flower Festival.
During the course of the game, having won Florem's beauty contest by secretly taking out the favored contestants, Victoria follows Agnès's party to the hidden city. It is here where she ends up killing Olivia Oblige before a seizure forces her to fall back to Eternia to be healed. Later, when the group arrives to Central Command, Victoria attempts to have her fun with the wind vestal's party before being placed in the White Magic stasis chamber. Once emerging from the chamber, commenting on Victor on telling her life story to them, she admits that she cannot last much longer and suspects her end is near, Victoria fights the group before she and Victor die in battle. If Victor is killed before Victoria, she sadly admits that her death is ensured while intending to drag them down with her.
Alternate reality versions of Victoria in the Second and Third Worlds are also encountered as the party learn more of her tragic past. In the Fourth World, Victoria is revealed to have become good friends with Artemia Venus and Konoe Kikyo as the three have a secret "girls' meeting" before attacking the wind vestal's party for eavesdropping and leaving while insulting Agnès and Edea. In the remaining world, Victoria is to her slight consternation made the leader of Lester DeRosso, Ciggma Khint, and Fiore DeRosa in dealing with the wind vestal's party when they arrive at the Eternian Central Command.
Gameplay[]
Victoria is first fought alongside Victor when the party meet Olivia at the Western Hidden Village. This battle is designed to be unwinnable, with it ending after a certain number of turns or after the party is defeated, whichever comes first.
The true battle comes at Eternian Central Command, where she again fights alongside Victor. She can be rebattled in each subsequent world. The battle in Eternian Central Command is repeated in the second and third worlds, with Victoria becoming slightly stronger. In the fourth world, she is fought alongside Artemia and Konoe Kikyo. In the fifth world she leads the team known as Ailment Hell, which focuses on status effects, which includes DeRosso, Khint, and DeRosa.
In battle, Victoria uses Ritualism, the powerful abilities of the Arcanist job such as Corpse, Exterminate, and later Twilight, as well as complementary Black Magic such as Dark and Poison, which facilitates her use of Exterminate.
