Victoria

Victoria, codenamed No. 559, is a high-ranking member of Shadow Garden whose abilities are said to rival those of the Seven Shades, being directly recruited by The Shadow himself. Before joining the organization she was known as "The Saint".

Appearance
Victoria is a rather statuesque woman, standing nearly as tall as Cid was in his previous life and towering over 664, 665, and 666, with long pink hair that reaches below her hips and covers her left eye. Her face normally bears a cold expression, with her eyes being lifeless, unless in the presence of Cid, in which case she suddenly becomes highly expressive.

In terms of attire, she wears a personalized version of the standard Shadow Garden slime bodysuit with a short torn cape on her back and a shoulder pad, giving her an overall more armored look than regular members. She is also adorned with a veil on the sides of her head, held there by a tiara.

Personality
Due to her past, Victoria usually holds a cold and intimidating demeanor, except in the presence of The Shadow or The Seven Shades. She is completely dedicated to Shadow Garden's mission of destroying the Order of Diabolos by all possible means, to the point of being unconcerned about the safety of innocent people. She holds an absolute hatred towards the Cult of Diabolos. She has shown to be strict toward her subordinates, scolding and even branding them as "traitors" should they deviate from their mission. However, she is also headstrong and reckless, immediately charging into battle with a superior force without any sort of strategy. This is further compounded by her having communication problems, not even bothering to explain mission objectives to her subordinates.

Similar to the members of the Seven Shades, Victoria utterly adores The Shadow. When in his presence, her usual, cold demeanor immediately dissipates and is replaced with that of a love-struck teenage girl. On the other hand, her adoration can also cause her to be jealous of others, like her being needlessly cruel toward 666, who she considers unworthy of her lord's attention. She also desperately wishes to become a member of the Seven Shades to get closer to The Shadow.

In the past, Victoria was noted to be a far kinder, yet also naive person. However, after everyone who she trusted turned on her following her "Demonic Possession", she lost her faith until she was saved by The Shadow, resulting in her current personality.

Background
Victoria was once known as "The Saint" of the church. Unbeknownst to her, however, the Order of Diabolos had secretly taken over the church and were preparing to use her in their plans. Unfortunately, she one day began displaying symptoms of "Demonic Possession" and turned to her superiors and prayer for help, only for everyone who once revered her to repudiate, humiliate and strip her of everything before imprisoning her. With the Order concluding that they could not use her anymore, she was sentenced to be executed. On the day of her execution, however, Cid just happened to pass by and saved her using his Shadow persona. Afterward, having become enamored with The Shadow, Victoria was recruited into Shadow Garden, where she quickly rose through the ranks and gained a reputation as having abilities at, or near those of the Seven Shades.

Power & Abilities
Even before joining Shadow Garden, Victoria was already a powerful individual, hailed as "The Saint", with the Order of Diabolos initially planning to use her in their plans. After becoming part of the organization, being directly recruited by The Shadow himself, her abilities grew to a point where they are now considered at, or near those of the Seven Shades, even being able to defeat some of the weaker members. She has also shown to be able to fight a large squadron of high-ranking Order of Diabolos members almost single-handedly, though she was ultimately overwhelmed by fatigue and sheer numbers. Due to her strength, it also said that Victoria is powerful enough to rivalled that the members of the Seven Shades (who are the Shadow Garden's elite troops).
