Victoria Hughes

"*Pshaw, you think you can beat me? I'll give you a beating for free, loser!*"

**Victoria Gisella Hughes** (Latvian: **Viktorija Žizela Hjūza**, **Viktorija Ozola**) is one of three protagonists of the *Collectionverse* stories. She lives with her friends Jack Zhang and Ludvig Gerald at the city of Meridian.

## Appearance

Victoria is a Latvian-American woman with an average build, peach skin, long blonde hair, and blue eyes. She wears blue clothing, dark blue jeans, and white and blue sneakers.

## History

Because her friends stopped visiting her, Victoria felt alone, surrounded by the girly toys left behind by her parents. She felt disgusted that she was like a child, so she spent more time with her brothers.

When she was a teenager, Victoria was a notorious bully, always competing against Molly and other girls just to get into fights. She was the member of a gang, and fell in love with one of its members, Nargis.

When her friends and even her gang members abandoned her, she became sad. Only a few people, including Ludvig and her rival Molly, decided to forgive and help her.

On 2013, her father brought her to Latvia to celebrate Midsummer and meet their relatives. She hated taking part in such celebrations.

## Personality

Victoria is hot-headed, irritable, headstrong, playful, and mischievous. But she can be friendly.

### Interests

Victoria enjoys soccer, the colour blue, surrealist animations with explosions, skateboarding, exploring, and shooter videogames. She also likes guns and doing romantic things with Ludvig, like dancing or playing a game together.

She is an avid fan of of the video game *Gunfighter*.

She dislikes chocolate, loneliness, potatoes, Midsummer, ponies, princesses, the colour pink, and people making fun of her bad temper or her blonde hair (making her dislike Rapunzel).

## Family

She is the daughter of the playwright Andrew Hughes and his wife Martha Dickson. She has two younger brothers, Antony Hughes and Thomas Hughes.

Her cousin is Natalie Parker, from New York. Natalie likes breakdancing, rap music, and Shetland ponies - the two cousins go on projects together, from a rap they made together, to a stage play about a "Natalie" keeping a stupid Shetland Pony tormented by a blue jay.

## Relationships

She is friends with Molly and Helen, who sometimes ask her to form a club of blondes. Her other friends include Jack and Ludvig, who share her hobbies. Although she sometimes feels attracted to Jack as a "closer friend", she eventually stuck with Ludvig as her lover.

## Non-canon scenarios

Roughly 2020-2021

Because Victoria and Gworofando seemed similar to each other - blonde hair, mischievous attitude, sporty interests - the author considered shipping the two characters in several scenarios:

* Victoria in a visual novel setting, where she gets to choose between several boys. Gworofando ends up in the "hidden" ending as a foreign exchange student who behaves like an awkward gentleman.
* Gworofando (as George) in Victoria's modern world, again as a playful and awkward hunk. Victoria finds him to be funny, and both of them become friends - George even helped turn Victoria away from bullying to just pranking together.

3 July 2021

Komata, a young teenager from another world, ended up at Victoria's house. Both of them became friends, with Komata being the "little sister" who learns from Victoria. However, Victoria can get annoyed by Komata's obsession with the girly things that the former disliked with a passion.

### Alternate versions

Victoria had an alternate version of herself, Valerie, who ended up in her house. She pitied Valerie and took her in as her sister.
