Victoria

Backstory (Told in book 1)
''There was a younger Victoria, about the age of seven unlike the others. She was hurt and crying. Her father came over to her, smiling guiltily. “What happened Victoria?”''

''Still crying, little Victoria responded, “One of those kids blasted me with dark magic because of my eyes. Why do I have them? Why can’t they just be black like yours?!” she cried some more, there was blood dripping down her forehead, arms, and legs where she had been hit.''

“It's a very long and complicated story for another time, lets say, your eighth birthday later this month!” Victoria nodded, starting to wipe the tears away from her eyes, “Now let’s get you all cleaned up!”

Victoria had the blood washed off of her, got into a new change of clothes and hugged her father, “You're not going to hurt them, are you?”

“I might, but only because they’ve hurt you too many times,” her father responded in a raspy voice.

“Where did mom go?” Victoria stepped away from the embrace and asked the one question she had asked since she could talk.

And once again, she got the same patient answer, “I don’t know.”

It was a new day now and Victoria was still being bullied.

''“Ack! Stop! That hurts!” Victoria, a little older now, screamed in pain.''

''“Oh does it really? Hm? Then let’s do it some more!” one boy shouted, pulling harder on Victoria’s hair.''

''“Blue-eyes! Shouldn’t you be in the WaterRealm?!” one girl mocked.''

“N-no, I’m completely DarkRealm,” Victoria stuttered.

''“Oh really? Then where’s your little mommy? Can only your daddy save you?” another boy danced around her, laughing cruelly.''

''“Victoria? Victori-VICTORIA!” Victoria’s dad came rushing out of their house, throwing balls of darkness at the kids bullying her. The kids scattered and ran, and Victoria’s father came rushing over to her, picked her up, and took her back inside.''

“This is the worst round yet…” he said, gently setting her down on a bed.

“I’ll be okay, you know I will…” young Victoria said weakly.

“I just wish it wasn’t like this, I wish we could live somewhere where you wouldn’t be bullied or judged because of your eye color.”

“It’s fine, soon enough I’ll be strong enough to protect myself!” Victoria lit black fire in her hand after a bit of a struggle.

“I suppose that’s true, I just worry for you…”

“I’ll be alright.”

''“Victoria, I think it’s time I show you the reason for everything. I said I would do it on your eighth birthday, but didn’t have the time. Now I have time, I want to show you who your mother is.”''

''Victoria stared at him, wide eyed. She was finally going to meet her mother!''
