==Appearances==
==="Hollow Crown"===
Vora appeared "Hollow Crown" in a flashback scene to Christmas Eve 684 in Vista, Vulpus. She and her sisters, Valda and Valencia, were scolded by their mother, Vixen VI, for breaking into a secluded area of the castle. Before her mother's death in 692, Vora absconded from the capital with her husband and newborn daughter, Victoria Vixen. She loathed the city, the politics, and the royal family, and sought an escape. She sent a postcard to Valda upon her ascension, but correspondence stopped thereafter. When Veronica Vixen and Vina Vixen killed each other in a duel, Vora was found to have purportedly died in a housefire. This left her only child Victoria to become heir presumptive. 
===War===
Vora returned under a pseudonym as Sunny Palmer in "In the Trenches of Despair" after a brief battle with vulpavirus in 711. Her son and only sibling of Victoria Vixen, Matthew Palmer, had returned from the front of war to visit. Sunny lived with her husband, Tom Palmer, who had changed his name from Brock West. Sunny and Tom both shared Matthew's views against the Vixen Queen but were unaware that he had pilfered the Harmony Crown. 
Sunny made another appearance in "In the Meadows of Sorrow," this time revealing that she was in fact Vora Vixen. On the day her daughter was born, Queen Vixen VI threatened the child if it was born male. The final straw in her hatred for the royal family, Vora and Brock fled to the countryside. They were aided by Jacquetta Lazoy, Henna Petukinau, and Queen Catherine of Simeone. They changed their surname to Palmer and their son Matthew was born in the quiet village of Verdant Cliffs. Vora last communicated with her sisters in 692 upon Valda's accession as Vixen VII. In 706, when Veronica and Vina Vixen killed each other in a duel, the government raced to find the next-in-line to the throne. Vora was found to have perished in a housefire, but a paper trace led soldiers to Verdant Cliffs, where Victoria Vixen was home alone. She insisted she was living alone, and a proclamation was published, establishing Victoria as the next Crown Princess. Vora tried to go in her place, but Victoria feared her mother's safety if Vixen VII realized that her sister had deceived her. Vora was distraught by her daughter's assassination one year later, but remained hidden. 
Matthew revealed that he had stolen the Harmony Crown, but Vora instructed him to rebury it so that it could later serve as a symbol of hope and peace. She showed Matthew letters between her and Jacquetta Lazoy, who knew she was still alive. Jacquetta warned of an escape attempt through Vulpus, and pleaded for Matthew's help in using his military influence to prevent the Vixen Queen from finding out. Armed with this task, Matthew was sent back to Vista. 
==Character==
===Namesake===
Vora's name follows the "V" naming pattern common in the Vixen royal family. Her surname references a female fox.
===Background===
Vora is not mentioned by name prior to her appearance in "Hollow Crown;" however, she is stated to be dead by the time of "Silent Night" because her daughter Victoria Vixen is next in the line of succession after the death of her cousins. This does not turn out to be true, as her death was faked. As of "In the Meadows of Sorrow," she was still alive. 
==Trivia==
*Vora being alive was an idea floated when Matthew Palmer's character was devised. It was not ultimately solidified until "In the Meadows of Sorrow" was written.
