Vicky Schmidt

**Vicky Schmidt**, simply known as **Vicky** in-game, is the blue-colored playable character in the Monster Prom franchise. She is also a love interest in Monster Prom: REVERSE. She is voiced by Sarah Anne Williams (@SarahAnneWillia).

She is officially stated as female, though players are free to change her pronouns to fit their own in-game.

## Appearance

Vicky is a Frankenstein-esque monster with light grayish cyan-green skin, blue eyes, and poofy black hair with a white streak. She also has bolts in her neck and various stitches on her body.

Vicky wears a blue V-neck sweater over a white collared shirt. She wears dark gray pants, and blueish-gray sneakers. In Monster Camp, she also has pink finger nails.

Her prom outfit is a black and white dress, with the skirt part being white with black polka dots. She wears a blue flower-like ribbon around her waist, and a pink corsage on her wrist. She also has a blue flower in her hair.

## Personality

Vicky Schmidt is upbeat and usually a nice, happy, lovable girl. But her kindness should not be mistaken for weakness: she’s a huge overachiever with tons of willpower. She knows that she doesn’t need to be mean or competitive to be strong. She has a strong moral compass.

She is very smart and frequently described as a natural leader. She is also clumsy, patient, and energetic (enough so to be nearly the top student in class while attending many extracurriculars and helping her friends). She is also described as "addicted to learning".

Vicky also loves all things cute, electrical and mechanical engineering, and robotics.

## Skills and Abilities

* **Intelligence**:
* **Leadership**:
* **Monster Abilities**: As a **Frankenstein's monster**, Vicky has the following abilities:
	+ **Agelessness**:
	+ **Electricity Resistance**:

## Relationships

* **Oz**: These two have a great friendship, both of them being a bit dorky. They share a bunch of interests and love good adventures without being too wild or too mean. They could greatly enjoy a board game night or solving crimes together. Also, they compliment each other quite well, Vicky being a good leader without being bossy and Oz being more quiet and compliant.
* **Calculester Hewlett-Packard**: Vicky and Calculester compliment each other quite nicely! They both have super strong moral compasses, and they value spending time with someone at Spooky High who understands why murder is NOT OK. Vicky loves electrical and mechanical engineering, and you know what is an interdisciplinary branch of both? Robotics! Calculester also loves robotics, as it allows him to have a better understanding of himself. All in all, they're both addicted to learning, and so they have the best of times dorking together.
* **Damien LaVey**: Damien cannot stand that Vicky is almost always right, and he loves trying to prove her wrong, even if he tends to fail at it. She is okay with this and has no issue letting him try, both because she's understanding and because she has a bit of fun seeing him fail. She doesn't get mean about it, but she's not afraid to say 'I told you so' every now and then. He gets super angry about this, but deep down he respects her undeniable strength, while she finds his foolish stubbornness kind of cute.
* **Liam de Lioncourt**: Liam values Vicky's intelligence, but he's not a fan of her endless cheerfulness, since he's more of a hater himself. Vicky, on the other hand, doesn't quite understand Liam's propensity to complain about everything. So even if he's always grumpy, she always tries to cheer him up anyway. They can enjoy their time together, but there's always the risk that Liam will start acting like a bit of a jerk the moment he realizes he might not be the smartest person in the room. When this happens, Vicky doesn't get that upset, if only because she's quite confident about herself and has enough perception to understand Liam's shitty behavior is basically just his way of telegraphing his insecurities.
* **Miranda Vanderbilt**: Vicky and Miranda share their cheerfulness and love for all things cute. Miranda can sometimes have a hard time accepting that Vicky is often right in her decisions and thoughts, but she tends to avoid those situations and she tries to be relaxed when around Vicky. Vicky is not OK with Miranda's tendency to ignore the horrible ways of her family, but she knows she doesn't know any better and tries to educate her friend in better ways. This might be a slow process, but Vicky is known for being patient.
* **Polly Geist**: Vicky and Polly are fairly similar yet wildly different. Both are pretty joyful people that can engage in energetic activities together, but Polly can get too wild and reckless too quickly, while Vicky will remain respectful even when she's completely unleashed. They understand their differences and respect these limits while enjoying the aspects of themselves that overlap. Because of this, Polly often enjoys partying with Vicky when she gets a bit tipsy and indulges herself in a bit more wackiness than usual. On the other hand, Vicky loves spending time with the less wild side of Polly, and enjoys engaging in calmer activities such as discussing literature or playing chess with her.
* **Scott Howl**: Vicky and Scott have a great relationship based on the fact that both are cheerful and care deeply about bringing the best out of their friends. Vicky loves to lead teams while Scott loves team play, so they combine quite naturally. Also, Vicky’s constant effort to understand everyone is valuable, since she doesn’t care when Scott has a bit of a hard time understanding situations. Instead of getting angry, she prefers to explain everything to him, blindly trusting his raw potential.
* **Vera Oberlin**: Vicky and Vera are probably the two smartest students in their class. They share lots of similarities while having quite different approaches. Vicky being always cheerful while Vera tends to be mean. Also, both being great leaders, they have a hard time working together, but they have utter respect and admiration for each other, even if sometimes it’s hard for them to admit it. As they are the two smartest students in their class, the developers can see them battling to be the best in almost every subject.
* **Zoe**: Vicky and Zoe love goofing around together. Zoe can sometimes be a bit too much even for Vicky, but most of the time they love engaging in playful activities. Both girls share a cheerful disposition towards life and a tendency to invest a lot into what they love. The main difference is Zoe's energy tends to go toward hobbies around fandoms, while Vicky's preferences are more widespread, from TV shows to electrical and mechanical engineering. But Vicky is understanding of this, and so she knows that when with Zoe, it's best to focus on her geekier side to assure they both have a great time.

## Trivia

* Their username for online poker is "BLUEBERRY\_32".
* Vicky was the first playable character to have their last name revealed.
	+ As she is stated to have a death certificate, this seems to imply Vicky was a normal person who was brought back to life as a Frankenstein Monster, rather than an entirely new person created through the amalgamation of different people's corpses (as was the case for the original Frankenstein's Monster).
* Vicky is named after the protagonist of *Frankenstein*, Victor Frankenstein.
	+ Julian nearly named her after one of his best friends who was very similar to her, but felt the *Frankenstein* reference was more appropriate.
	+ Her surname was chosen for being a common German Jewish name, like Frankenstein.
* Her birthday is on August 16th, making her a Leo.
	+ She shares her birthday with one of Julian's best friends.
	+ She also, coincidentally, shares her birthday with that of actress Mae Clarke, who portrayed the bride of Dr. Frankenstein in the 1931 film adaptation of the *Frankenstein* novel, as well as the release date of the 1985 film *The Bride*, where Dr. Frankenstein creates a mate for his monster who develops "her own ideas about what is good for her".
* Julian has confirmed on Discord that Vicky is indeed Jewish. This is supported by her surname being common amongst German Jews, and blue being a sacred color in Judaism.
* In one of the polaroids in the Monster Camp demo, Vicky is shown carving a sculpture of one of the *Dragon Heat* characters. Besides being a clever nod to one of Monster Prom's secret endings, this also means that Vicky is a fan of either so-titled fanfiction, the original series it is based on, or both.
* Vicky loves birds! When at the Carnival Location in Monster Roadtrip, Vicky can look in the mirror to share some deep introspections about herself, and will list all her favorite birds - Lilac-breasted roller, Bengal florican, Nicobar pigeon, Galah, and the Lady Amherst's pheasant.
