> I will save this kingdom.

> Elena

Elena's mysterious and quiet personal maid, whose true identity is the demon she contracted with seven years ago in order to have Leonhard's favor and save the kingdom as its Queen consort. Since the contractor desires a support to accomplish her goal on her own rather than an instant wish granter, Victoria has been sticking around under the mortal guise to provide general assistance and knowledge, but never delving too far than necessary; though she still has business on her own as one of the Sin Demon Generals and sometimes rendered unable to help Elena. Despite her origin, she seems to be a benevolent individual, and is more aware of Elena's story than she lets on.

## **Physical Description**

Victoria appears as a young, small-statured woman with long blonde hair, swept bangs, pale skin and magenta eyes. She’s most commonly seen in House Alvalion’s maid uniform.

In her demon form, her sclera is black. Has a true demon form that gives her the Red Baron "Thorn Princess", in which her body and face is made up from tangled shrubs of thorny vines. Wears a cracked white mask which lacks features in her demon attire. Her outfit in her True Form is adorned with thorny vines and bougainvillea flowers. Spots white horn in her true form. Has small, pointed ears as a demon.

## **Personality**

Victoria is aloof, logical and levelheaded. She shows little to no reaction towards all the chaos that happened around her and her facial expressions barely shift, and when she does smile, it is at most just a mocking smirk. It is thanks to her inhuman composure that she can keep Elena, who at the time was incredibly unstable due to her depression, under control and not stumbling down the staircase of insanity immediately. She takes pride in her position as a Sin Demon General and power that is superior to many demons thanks to also being a Dealmaker, but is not arrogant about it, and is willing to play the role of a servant to a Hominid without shame. She’s very respectful to her contractor’s wish, as demonstrated with Elena, even if it will put her at a disadvantage. Unlike most Demons, Victoria has little to no ambition in getting stronger, promoted to a higher position or achieving "Eternity"; for that reason she doesn't demand any high price in her contractor and what she accepts are usually typical and "cheap", at least compared to demon’s standard. Well known for being fair and just, she finds Dealmakers who trick or demand unnecessarily brutal prices from their pact partners nothing better than frauds. Since she is intrigued by Hominity, she commonly stands on their side and still follows the old Dealmaker Oath where Dealmakers are Hominity’s servant from time to time. In fact, she’s so honorable and responsible that she’s willing to risk being punished for sneaking out of the Multi-Underworld just so she can help Elena. Perhaps as a result of spending times among mortals for hundreds of years, she possesses a surprisingly human-like way of thinking noted to be very rare for purebred demons, allowing her to hold off the demonic desire to show off her power or use her reality-bending might to solve every problem she comes across.

While unfailingly calm, she's not rigid, unsociable, or lacking in humor. She still expresses visible exasperation or tension when she doesn’t feel like hiding them, and doesn’t avert to showing gestures of care. Her bond with Elena and Glorian seems to make her develop a motherly instinct towards them, though it’s more apparent on Elena’s side. She also has a soft spot for children and is more lenient to them than an adult. During their first meeting, Victoria's superior demeanor noticeably toned down when she realized her summoner was a very young child, and even asked Elena if she summoned her by her own will out of concern that Elena might be forced to be a scapegoat for some nasty adults. When questioned by Elena years later, Victoria admits that she doesn't like having children involved in her affairs, as she found them most of the time honest and innocent - virtues she appreciates in a human. Apparently, she was not always calm and benevolent as she once shamefully refers to her former self, before dedicating herself to "acknowledging the pact partner's true wish", as a walking homicidal aggressive hound who only took enjoyment in destroying as much as possible and was incapable of understanding any emotions other than "wrath" and "pride".

It's not exaggeration to say that Victoria can make the wish Elena spends 7 years fighting for reality in a blink, albeit with a suitable price. However, she chooses to respect Elena's decision and only acts when extremely needed. There's also occasions where she cannot accompany Elena - like when she must attend a meeting between Sin Demon Generals during the time Elena got arrested, and rendered unable to prevent her death.

When talking to her friends in the tea party, she (blankly) bemoaned that while she does not regret becoming a Dealmaker, having her actions limited by another set of rules isn't really a pleasant experience.

## **History**

She's one of the older demons in Medeis, having existed since at least years before the downfall of the Vampire Empire and when the old Dealmaker Oath - which she claimed around 80% Medeis-origin demons nowadays don't even aware of its existence - was still in validity.

She did mention an event that made her pull a Heel-Face Turn from a typical Wrath Demon to who she is today, but the details remain unmentioned in the entire story.

## **Appearances**

### Major

* *The Lady Wishes For the Throne* - Elena serves as the main character, with the story focuses on her journey from escaping her exile to raising up the non-casualty Revolution.
* *The day my sister is gone*

## **Power and Abilities**

As a purebred Sin Demon General, she is definitely far more powerful than those lesser human-origin demon like Glorian. Though she also mentioned that the position is obtained by power, which means the like of Glorian can have a chance to join the table if they're strong enough.

Without having to reveal her true form or even moving a muscle, she easily disabled Merry and was very close to snapping her neck like a twig were Mone not to surrender at that moment.

A flashback of Victoria shows her standing evenly in a completely destroyed land, utterly unscathed. What she has to say at that moment implied that she singlehandedly leveled a country to the ground with little to no effort and of course, a suitable price.

### Skillset

* **Multilingualism:** Despite the main purpose of her infiltration - to keep track of Elena, be a "mana" charger, and provide needed assistance in her plot, Victoria can blend in with the other servants fairly well since she's surprisingly skilled in what a lady's maid would do: make-up, hairdressing, outfits preparing and altering,

### Passive Abilities

* **Nigh-Absolute Immorality:** She has a small frame but is very athletic, and doesn't need to invoke any more demonic power outside of invisibility to chase after Ange when the latter is going around in her Night Angel identity, which consists of parkour between buildings and lurking in the smallest of alleys at high speed with assistance from Air Magic, all while wearing a pair of Mary-Janes.
* **Accelerated Healing Factor:** The only supernatural ability she has shown off until now (in main story) is thorny vines controlling, which she implied to earn her the title "Thorn Princess". She raises a wall of vines thick and hard enough to stop any weapons from entering, in order to hold down a battle which would cause bloodshed between the revolutionary army and royal guards.
* Dimensional Traveler: Dealmakers aren't usually bound to one World, especially Pocket World like Medeis where they can't so much wreck around without clashing and tipping the World's balance via their reality bending might.
* Master of Illusion: She sneaked out in the middle of the Multi-Underworld Summit to come for Elena's aid by replacing herself with an illusion, which she notes that while cannot fool any high-ranking demon for long, simply being able to fool them is the best of her ability. She also casually created illusions to recreate what happened to Elena in the spin-off The day my sister is gone.
* In their first meeting, Victoria referred to dealmakers as "beings that could dig the straight way to Hall of Origin with a matching price". A dealmaker herself, she sure must have enough power to bend reality when well-paid. She hasn't done anything in story just because Elena told her she wanted the throne by her own ability. • Time Master: In the abandoned timeline, she decided to rewind the time of Medeis. Of course there's someone can escape the influence and profit it, but as long as Lorenous was affected, she cared for nothing.

### Equipments

* Rapier
* Scythe

* Tea: The only thing that would separate her from Elena for a while is the invitation to a tea party. Though she doesn't need nourishment, she still accepts tea offers from Elena, they have quite a good chat over tea break to be honest; and she looks mildly annoyed knowing the corrupted royalty is in possession of the Gallytrot's tea leaves - one of the finest tea in Medeis.

## **Quotes**

* *"You don't matter, small brat."*
* *"Let's hope you stay out of trouble when I am away"* - To Elena, before she left to attend the Multi-Underworld Summit.
* *"Looking back to my immature days, the only thing I see was disgrace."*

## **Trivia**

* According to the creator, Elena never survived till the end of her pact in all of the previous time loops, since the loop started after Elena had summoned Victoria as she had made up her determination to fight for the country's sake, which means she would fall into despair and commit suicide, or killed by others for her part in the coup.
* Victoria reveals in the sequel that prior her death, Elena was being demonized slowly due to how prolonged their contract has been during the time loop caused by Andromeda Norwood. The fact that she could summon Hellfire and her sclera turned black during the process is a sign of corruption. When she secretly humiliates and makes wild animals rape Esmeralda in the prison, that means the Blood of Wrath has temporarily taken her mind. She herself doesn't seem to realize that, though, and Victoria put an end to their contract before Elena could ascend into a complete demon.
* In *The day my sister is gone* spin-off where she jumped off the balcony while burning herself, since she was banished from the Alvalion family and died as a prisoner, she didn't have a funeral. Not only that, her zero-approval gambit resulted in her being left unmourned, except by her friends and Mary.
