## Biography

### Early Life

Vittoria and her twin sister Emilia were created by the Crone thousands of years ago. The twins predate the Seven Circles and the Wicked. Little is known about Emilia and Vittoria's lives as goddesses. As part of the Feared, they are believed to have been far worse rulers of the underworld than the Wicked who now reign over the Seven Circles. Emilia recalls that she and Vittoria had been cold, and greeted humans and souls with cruelty as they entered their domain.

Sometime after the princes and their Circles appeared, Lucia fell in love with Pride and ended up heartbroken upon realizing she couldn't remain happy with him forever. Lucia's mother, the First Witch, asked Emilia and Vittoria to help her in seeking vengeance against House Pride and against House Wrath for not forcing Pride and Lucia to end their relationship. Agreeing to the plan, Emilia and Vittoria went into the Circles, each pretending to be the same person, with the goal of seducing Wrath and Pride respectively. They would then orchestrate a situation where the brothers would discover they were involved with the same woman and destroy one another's Houses.

However, during her ruse, Emilia and Wrath fall in love with each other for real, and on the eve of the night Emilia and Vittoria were meant to make their grand reveal, Emilia told Wrath everything. She was then stolen away by the witches. The streghe used dark magic to curse Emilia into a human body, given mortality, and has her memories blocked. When Vittoria attempts to rescue her sister, she is given the same fate.

The twins are given false memories of a life where they are witches growing up in Palermo, Sicily as daughters of Nicoletta di Carlo and her unnamed father and the granddaughters of Nonna Maria. Their family owns a family trattoria, or restaurant, called Sea & Vine. From childhood, Emilia and Vittoria grow up working in the family restaurant. By eight years old, Vittoria was already skilled in the kitchen. Nonna Maria taught the twins everything they know about magic and spells and told them the legends and stories of the witches. Nonna Maria teaches the twins magical ways of hiding from both humans and "midnight creatures." Nonna Maria only teaches Emilia and Vittoria defensive and protective spells, never offensive ones. Both girls are given *cornicello*, or amulets, to wear for protection. They are taught to never take them off and to never let them touch.

### *Kingdom of the Wicked*

In a flashback to the night Vittoria and Emilia turned eight years old, Vittoria convinces Emilia to put their *cornicello* together, even thought they've been told constantly to never do so. When Emilia does so, they each feel a blast of magic that scares them and they never speak of that night again. Since that night, Vittoria secretly begins remembering things about her past life and who she and Emilia truly are. Vittoria begins plotting against the witches.

Ten years later, Vittoria and Emilia are now eighteen. Lately Vittoria has been acting differently. She's started disappearing often and for several hours at a time. Emilia believes that Vittoria is sneaking away to be with Domenico Nucci Jr. and the rest of the family seems to agree. Nicolette says that she thinks Domenico would make a good match for Vittoria.

Later, Vittoria finds Emilia preparing dinner in the basement of the monastery with Antonio. Vittoria scares them both, causing Emilia to break her bottled ingredients, for which Vittoria apologizes sincerely. When asked where she had been, Vittoria claims to have made a deal with the devil and says she plans on marrying him, though she can't invite Emilia since it was in Hell and all.

The next day, Vittoria announces to the family she needs to leave earlier than usual without giving a reason. Later that night, Emilia travels to the monastery to pick up the items she forgot the night before. It is here that Emilia finds Vittoria's body with a dark hooded figure leaning over her. Vittoria heart had been ripped out, becoming the third *strega* death on the island.

In her quest of vengeance against Vittoria's murder, Emilia discovers Vittoria used her *cornicello* to find La Prima's grimoire in a cave by the ocean. Vittoria had described the object in her diary, saying it called to her, with voices leading her and becoming more scrambled the closer she got. Once finding it, Vittoria rips out pages on how to summon demons. She then hides the book in one of the rooms below the monastery, using an illusion spell to keep others away.

When Emilia first meets Wrath, he informs her he approached Vittoria with the proposition to be Pride's bride, much like he had for the previous two witches who were murdered. Emilia later discovers that Vittoria had accepted, and the things she had said about marrying the devil the day before her death had in fact been the literal truth. Emilia also learns that Vittoria had been working in Greed's gambling den as a drink server. She had gotten this job to gain an audience with Greed. She proposed a plan to Greed that involved freeing Domenico Nucci Sr., a werewolf and long time gambler, from his debts if he agreed to have the werewolves fight on Greed's side "when the time came."

Emilia decides to take Vittoria's place as the bride of Pride. She learns that Antonio, under the influence of what he calls "an angel," is responsible for the murder of the witches, including Vittoria.

### *Kingdom of the Cursed*

Emilia, using the Triple Moon Mirror, discovers that Vittoria has actually been alive this entire time. Vittoria is seen in Antonio's dungeon chamber in House Wrath. Vittoria tells Antonio that he did her "bidding well." She's wearing lavender gauze that seems to blow on some magical breeze. She "looks like a painting of a Roman deity sprung to life." She now has lavender eyes. Antonio vows his life to her cause and calls her his "angel." Emilia realizes that it was Vittoria who left the two spelled skulls. She is furious at her twin's betrayal. While she shares Vittoria's end goal of breaking the curse, this doesn't mean she has the right to lie to her twin and keep her in the dark. By the time Emilia rushes from the Sin Corridor to Antonio's chamber, Vittoria and Antonio are gone. Vittoria has left a third spelled skull for Emilia. It says, "Come to the Shifting Isles, sister. We have much to discuss about breaking the remainder of our curse. Answers away your arrival. Until then. Stand back." It then explodes. Emilia resolves to meet Vittoria on the Shifting Isles, but says it's "high time Vittoria met the furious, unforgiving witch she'd helped to create."

### ***Kingdom of the Feared***

Upon reuniting with Emilia in the Shadow Realm, Vittoria tells her sister that "she did what had to be done for them. It might not seem like it, but she swears this had all been for her and Emilia." She tries to say something about the curse, but the curse won't let her. All she can say is that "even the most volatile fuel requires a spark to cause flames." She hints at the secrets kept by their family, and says that of the two of them, Emilia is their family's most feared. At Wrath's impending arrival, before leaving, Vittoria warns Emilia against marrying Wrath. Vittoria says that choosing Wrath will result in Emilia giving up part of herself.

Wrath crowns Emilia in the Sin Corridor in front of his brothers, Vittoria, and Domenico. She is now Queen of the Seven Circles, princess of House Wrath, and the goddess of the underworld and the Shadow Realm. Vittoria will rule House Vengeance without Emilia. She tells her sister that House Vengeance is where she belongs and where she'll stay.

## Appearance

Vittoria and Emilia are identical twins. They have brown eyes, thick lashes, long dark brown hair, and olive skin bronzed by both the sun and their ancestry. She is tall. When her spell-lock is removed, her appearance is changed. While she still looks like her previous self, Vittoria is now enhanced and slightly different. Her eyes are now lavender, when her power strengthens, her eyes turn a deep ruby red. She "looks like a painting of a Roman deity sprung to life." Vittoria's dark hair cascades in loose curls down her back. Her bronze skin practically glows. As a goddess, there's a hardness to her, a darkness where light once was. She looks like temptation and sin, her two favorite things aside from death, and like she ate lovers alive and picked her teeth with their bones.

## Personality

Vittoria is daring, vibrant, and full of life. She always makes everyone feel like her best friend. She is a risk taker and rarely serious. She never suppresses her giggles for long. Emilia describes her favorite form of hiding as not hiding at all. She gets away with being bold and brazen, and people adore her for it. Vittoria is willing to make hard choices, especially if it meant helping her family. She always says outlandish things to humans because she delights in them thinking she's lying. She has a habit of making light of witchcraft and *streghe* in front of humans. Vittoria is adventurous and always ready to try new things. She often uses jokes to disguise the truth, stating things plainly while allowing others to believe she is only kidding. She is theatrical. Vittoria always pushes the limits, and is unafraid of the consequences. She is capable of anything.

She loves creating new perfumes, potions, and drinks. She would often spend hours perfecting each scent and then forcing her family to wear it until they could no longer stand it. Making new concoctions is one of the only times she is serious.

Vittoria was always interested and fascinated by death. For example, as a child she wanted to wash and prepare the bodies of the deceased in the monastery, but the brotherhood chose Claudia for the job. She has an affinity with the dead. She has always been interested in stories of the Wicked. While both girls are enchanted by them, Vittoria was more interested than Emilia.

As the goddess of death, Vittoria is fearsome and frightening. She had been playful and friendly, now she is harsh. She wants to reclaim what is hers and Emilia's and watch their enemies burn.

## Abilities

As a *strega*, Vittoria can use magic through spells for various different things and purposes, such as summoning demons, moving objects, and lightly influencing emotions, along with casting truth spells to bend an individual’s will to hers. She is also slightly stronger than a human. Vittoria's magic shines best in the creation of potions, perfumes, and drinks. She develops the ability to hear magical objects that speak to her.

Vittoria is the immensely powerful goddess of death. She possesses a multitude of mighty magical and physical abilities. Like her sister, it is presumed that once she once again becomes her true self, her magical affinity for spells grows enormously. She is once again able to tap into her Source fully, the endless and limitless power of magic. As a goddess, Vittoria is almost immortal, ageless and able to heal almost immediately. She has supernatural senses, reflexes, strength, and speed. One of her arms can transform into a demon hand with long nails which she uses to take out the hearts of her victims. She possesses the ability to kill an immortal, called True Death.

## Relationships

### Emilia di Carlo

Vittoria is Emilia's twin sister and fellow witch. The two of them grew up sharing a room in their family's home in Italy. Of the two of them, Vittoria is described as more rambunctious and risky, often making claims of casting spells and witchcraft in the presence of mortals and finding humor in the fact they believe she is joking. Vittoria and Emilia were very close, and up until her sister's appeared death, Emilia believed that the only secret between them was that she could see *luccicare*, as she never told Vittoria about that ability. It becomes clear that this is false, as more and more of Vittoria's secrets come to light through Emilia's investigation into her death. In the weeks leading up to it, Vittoria acquired a summoning spell and made a deal with Pride, agreeing to become his bride in order to break the curse that kept him trapped in Hell. She also interacted with Greed, and werewolves, which Emilia didn't know existed. Vittoria's body is found in the monastery, mutilated and missing her heart. It's revealed that the culprit was Antonio, Emilia's first love, and one of the *fratellos* of the monastery. Emilia's love of Vittoria makes her stronger. Vittoria reveals that she is in fact alive.

### Domenico Nucci Junior

They have a more master-puppy relationship, however, Vittoria cares about him as she wants him to live a happy life. From his part, he would die for her, and has no problem with Vittoria's sexual activities with others. Vittoria states that she must let him go back to the Shifting Isles, while she has to stay at House Vengeance and rebuild.

### Pride

Vittoria, as Nicoletta, went to seduce the prince of Pride nearly two decades ago, part of a scheme that the First Witch created. During that time they developed feelings for each other, and after Nicoletta's betrayal was revealed, Pride was hurt. They both have similar interests and they understand one another. If Pride had met her before Lucia, things might be different. Vittoria always avoids to talk about him, as it still an open wound, and Pride is time and time again affected by her presence when they are in the same location. He seems hurt, and doesn't believe that he knows her, as he thinks that "Nicoletta" was never real.

### Claudia

Claudia is another *strega*, and Emilia and Vittoria's closest friend. The girls grew up together, and consider themselves sisters. After being selected to prepare the deceased by the brotherhood, Claudia used to share stories with the twins about how mummies came to be part of the monastery.
