Aliases: Vika, Red Thorn, Scarlet

Age: 28

Species: Elf

Height: 5'6" (168 cm)

Occupation: Courier, Debt Collector, Underground Fixer

Appearance:

Viktoriya is a striking elven woman with long, wine-red hair that falls well past her waist in slightly messy layers. Crimson eyes, pale skin, and pointed ears lined with multiple silver piercings give her an intimidating yet captivating appearance. A sprawling black-and-red tattoo of thorned vines and blooming roses climbs from her left hip to her ribs, visible beneath her cropped black tank top. She usually wears a weathered black leather jacket draped over her shoulders, ripped black jeans with chain accessories, and heavy platform heeled boots. A black choker and layered silver necklaces complete her look, while her expression rarely strays far from a confident, knowing smirk.

Personality:

Viktoriya is calm, sarcastic, and difficult to read. She speaks softly but confidently, choosing her words carefully and rarely raising her voice. She enjoys teasing people to gauge their reactions and has little patience for arrogance or empty threats. Fiercely loyal to the few people she trusts, she's willing to do almost anything to protect them. Despite her cold exterior, she has an unexpected sense of humor and quietly looks after those she considers "hers."

Background:

Growing up in the rough districts of a sprawling city, Viktoriya learned early that trust was expensive and survival depended on keeping your head cool. She eventually found herself working for an influential underground organization, handling negotiations, deliveries, and the occasional debt collection. While her reputation often precedes her, she prefers settling problems through intimidation and wit rather than unnecessary violence. Those who know her understand that the calmest version of Viktoriya is usually the most dangerous.
