== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
Victoria Theodorides was born on the third of January, 2532, on the island of Skopelos within Greece, a constituent state of the European Union. She grew up in a world that was encapsulated by the growing threat of the Covenant, and despite the Office of Naval Intelligence's best efforts to downplay and disguise the threat the Covenant posed, her life was directly affected by the fear and paranoia of mid-26th century society, influencing her decision later in life to join the military.
=== Military Service ===
==== Marine Corps ====
Victoria made the decision to join the military at the age of 18 in 2549, successfully passing each medical and physical exam for the UNSC Marine Corps and proving herself to be a capable wielder of a firearm. After taking part in several life fire drills and simulations, she saw her first action in the Battle of Far Harbour in which she was traumatized by the horrific war crimes committed by UNSC personnel over the course of the battle. Regardless, she proved her worth as a soldier during the battle with exceptional performance against hostile militiamen, and was considered a candidate for promotion. Following the diagnosing of over half of Fireteam India's members as having either depression or PTSD linked to the engagement, she was offered a position in the fireteam as an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, which she accepted.
==== Fireteam India ====
As a member of Fireteam India, Victoria Theodorides saw heavy combat across multiple systems in the waning years of the Human-Covenant war. The UNSC Ivory Coast, captained by James Coleman and the vessel that Fireteam India had been attached to for the majority of it's existence, would be redeployed to the planet Reach on August 14 shortly before Operation: UPPER CUT. Victoria, alongside Fireteam India, first saw combat during the Fall of Reach in the Battle of Manassas, participating in the evacuation efforts and ultimately being fleeing the city on August 21st. Following the withdrawal from Manassas, she, alongside the other survivors including Spartan-II Theo-783, retreated to one of the final off-world extraction points left on Reach and was evacuated by the UNSC Ivory Coast, which then withdrew to Tribute. After being constantly engaged in the bloody conflict on Tribute for nearly eight days, Fireteam India and the UNSC Ivory Coast fled yet again, leaving the system and eventually returning to Earth.
===== Battle of Earth =====
After resting and recuperating from the intense fighting she went through on both Reach and Tribute, she yet again found herself engaged in another key battle, however this time it was on Humanity's homeworld, Earth. When the Prophet of Regret's fleet arrived and the first engagements in New Mombasa took place, Victoria alongside Fireteam India did not see direct ground combat, only seeing her first battle on Earth following the arrival of the Prophet of Truth's reinforcements. She was engaged, alongside a massive number of UNSC forces, in the Sahara Desert of Africa as the Covenant attempted to attack population centers and key infrastructure in the region. 
The city of Faya-Largeau came under attack by the Solitary Contemplation, an SDV-class Corvette. Much of the city fell as it was largely undefended, forcing the UNSC to bring in reinforcements and conduct an offensive in the central business district of the city. Victoria and Fireteam India were a part of the ground action and were among the first reinforcements to arrive in the city, being forced to take the brunt of the Covenant's military might. Victoria, Fireteam India and several marines attacked the BXR Tower in downtown Faya-Largeau, destroying the Anti-Air and Artillery emplacements on the building's roof and capturing a Phantom gunship. The group met up with Rose-788 and boarded the Solitary Contemplation using the phantom, overloading it's engine reactors and causing it's destruction. While Victoria, most of Fireteam India and Rose-788 were able to escape, the majority of the marines that accompanied them were killed, and the corvette's wreckage caused heavy damage to the city's outskirts. Regardless, Victoria was awarded with the Bronze Star, alongside many members of Fireteam India. Shortly after the destruction of the corvette, the Covenant's forces in the city rapidly began to either retreat or dissolve into chaos, with UNSC forces recapturing the occupied areas of the city in a very short amount of time.
Directly following the conclusion of the battle of Faya-Largeau, Fireteam India and Victoria were airlifted to Ghat, where the Covenant had been attacking with great success due to reinforcements from those who had feld from Faya-Largeau. She saw heavy combat alongside other ground forces and eventually partook in the brutal attack on the Archaelogical Park, which was being used by the Covenant as a headquarters in the city.
