Victoria

Victoria (ウィクトーリア) is a member of Shadow Garden, being one of the Numbers under the codename No. 559 with abilities said to rival the "Seven Shadows". Before joining the organization, she was known as the "Saint" and the former leader of the "Templars". She is also a member of Zeta's secret sub-faction.

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. She has long strawberry blonde (pink in the anime) hair that reaches below her hips and covers her left eye. Victoria's face is described as a beautiful good-looking girl, even Rose Oriana describes her beauty as a goddess. Her face normally bears a cold expression with her eyes being lifeless, unless in the presence of Cid and she will suddenly become highly expressive and attentive.

In terms of attire, she wears a unique version of the Shadow Garden standard Slime Bodysuit with a short torn cape on her back and a large shoulder pauldron, giving her an overall more armored look than regular members. A strap continues from the pauldron to her right shoulder and connects to her cape. Her pauldron has several belt straps dangling over her cape, each strap measured at her arm's length. Her attire has a frilled neckline at the collar, dress with a opening at the bust that ends in a tattered material, while there are more belt straps coming from her abdominal section. Her leg are a standard Bodysuit design but with long thigh high boots, or stockings given the clip-on straps, with a pattern at the top then again at her lower legs in a V shape edging, and with short heeled soles.

She is also adorned with a veil on the temples of her head, held there by a tiara giving her the alluded appearance of having horns. In the light novel, these horns are depicted as floating just off the tiara only connected by stands of slime from the bodysuit. While in the manga, the horns are solid in design, more like a one-piece item. In the anime, although brief, her tiara appears to be a one-piece item as well with the horns intact.

Personality
"It’s my duty to purge any who are unworthy of his grace."

- Victoria

Due to her tragic past, Victoria usually holds a cold and intimidating demeanor, except in the presence of Shadow or the Seven Shadows. She harbors an absolute hatred towards the Cult of Diablos and is dedicated to Shadow Garden's mission of destroying them by all possible means, to the point that she very ruthlessly killing those who she believes to be their enemies without hesitation or remorse and being unconcerned about the safety of innocent people. To this end, she would eliminate anyone she deemed unworthy to be by her master side, no matter who it was, even her fellow Shadow Garden' members as she has shown to be strict toward her subordinates, scolding and even branding them as "traitors" should they deviate from their mission.

However, Victoria is not without faults. She is headstrong and reckless, at times charging into battle without any strategy. This is further supported by her having communication problems, not even bothering to explain mission objectives to her subordinates.

But the truth is that Victoria is a spoiled girl, where she acts like one when she is with her master, Shadow, and has a special request to him. Evidently, she would make her cute face and grab the sleeve of Shadow's coat, also make an dissatisfied expression and kept tugging at his coat sleeve when her request was rejected by Shadow. However, when her wish was granted her eyes would light up with joy.

Similar to the members of the Seven Shadows, Victoria utterly adores Shadow. In his presence, the usual cold demeanor immediately disappears and is replaced with that of a love-stuck yandere. On the other hand, her adoration causes her to be jealous of others. For example, her needless cruelty towards 666, who she considers unworthy of her lord's attention. She also desperately wishes to rise through the ranks of Shadow Garden and become a member of the Seven Shadows so she can get closer to Shadow.

In the past, Victoria was noted to be a far kinder and more naive person like an innocent and gentle girl, who she even could not kill a fly. When she used to be leading the Templars, Victoria showing great care for her subordinates although she retained a pleasant, saint-like demeanor at nearly all times where it be during battle when Victoria talking about purging heretics and declaring Shadow Garden as a heretical organization that must be cleansed. However, after everyone she once trusted betrayed her following her Demonic Possession, she lost her faith until she was saved by Shadow, resulting in her current personality.

Power & Abilities
Before joining Shadow Garden, Victoria was already a powerful individual, hailed as "The Saint", with even the Cult of Diablos taking notice of her. After joining the organization, she quickly rose through the ranks and is currently their sixth-strongest member, after Shadow and the "Seven Shadows" (sans Gamma and Eta), with even Alpha claiming that she is almost as strong as her.

Physical Prowess
Victoria was able to almost single-handedly battle a large squadron of high-ranking cult members for three days and nights, although ultimately overwhelmed by fatigue and sheer numbers despite she still wanted to fight despite having her arm has been cut off, a large gash in her stomach, and receive several other injuries. Even so, she defeated the entire group of First Children, even killing off three cult leaders among them, with Kouadoi the only last Cult member that she is about to take him down, before being overwhelmed by him due to her being exhausted.

Swordsmanship
Being one of Shadow Garden's strongest members, Victoria is an exceptionally powerful swordswoman, only ever losing due to being overwhelmed by fatigue.

Magic
In terms of magical power, Victoria was already strong before joining Shadow Garden. When she joined the organization after being healed and receiving Shadow's power, her abilities grew to a point where she could nearly rival those of the "Seven Shadows", even being able to defeat some of the weaker members.

Quick Flash
After joining Shadow Garden, Victoria possesses the ability through the use of her magic, to quickly move through any land that she can like any other elite magical swordsman. Under Lambda's training, her flash ability is upgraded, leveling up to Shadow Garden's "7 Shadow" subordinates.

Weaknesses
Victoria has two glaring weaknesses: her poor social skills and her tendency to overestimate her abilities. During the Oriana Kingdom operation, she did not even explain their objective to her squadron and rushed into battle without any sort of plan. According to Epsilon, this is also what holds her back from being promoted, remaining a three-digit Number despite clearly having the skills of a double-digit named Number.

Trivia

 * Victoria is one of the only two people, except the "Seven Shadows" to receive their powers directly from Shadow himself.
 * Victoria gained a portion of Epsilon's role in the Web Novel, where she was the injured Shadow Garden member saved from defeat by Shadow.
 * Like Zeta, Victoria does not care about consequences or collateral damage as long as she can accomplish her mission.
 * Victoria hair color differs from each adaptation she appears in; in the LN, her hair is described as strawberry blonde, while in the Master of Garden game, her hair is shown to be platinum blonde; and in the Anime, her hair is shown to be pink.
 * Victoria is one of the clear examples, although it continues to be very ironic for the majority of society, who witnesses this, that even the most good, fair, believing and devout person, can fall before the darkness that lurks in every corner of society, and the world. Since this is reflected in the sudden change she suffered, at the personality level, when everything she believed in and had faith in was nothing more than a lie and deceit in almost everything she believed and learned when she became a Santa, and he, like everyone else, humiliated and tortured her, before sentencing her to die, (if it weren't for the Shadow, she would have completely broken).
