Victoria

Victoria (ウィクトーリア) also known as No. 559 is a member of Shadow Garden. She is one of the organization's most powerful members, with abilities said to rival those of the Seven Shades. Before joining Shadow Garden, 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 strawberry blonde 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 tragic past, Victoria usually holds a cold and intimidating demeanor, except in the presence of Shadow or the Seven Shadows. 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, Victoria is not without faults. She has shown repeatedly to 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 yandere. 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 rise through the Shadow Garden's ranks and become a member of the Seven Shades, in order 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 once trusted, has betrayed 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.

Oriana Kingdom Civil War
Victoria leads a squad group to find out what plans the Diabolos cult has in Orianna's kingdom as it is now in a civil war and why the cult is involved. Victoria calls 664, 665 and especially Rosa Orianna (nu°666) for the mission, since apart from the Seven Shadows, only Victoria and Rosa were the only ones who received direct power from Shadow. Victoria tells Rosa that she doesn't think she is unworthy of the power she received, telling her that if she represents a problem for her mission they will leave her behind.

During the squad's espionage in a sacred ruins, Victoria sees that Rosa's mother, the Queen, is involved in the cult, regardless of whether she was innocent or not, she lunges at the Queen to take the ring from them while massacring Rosa. several members of the cult, but Rosa intervenes and there, Victoria declares her a traitor and tells her that she would kill her. During that time that Rosa and the queen were taken as cult prisoners, Victoria, 664 and 665 launch themselves against the group of "first sons" of the Diabolos cult in which Victoria fights against a place-lieutenant of the cult. in the end the cult group is eliminated but as much as 664, 665 and victoria herself are totally seriously injured, victoria was about to be killed by the lieutenant-lieutenant who still had a lot of strength but in that, she felt the power of Shadow and then he appears killing the lieutenant by ripping out his heart and saving Victoria. Shadow asks him to explain what happened, to which victory contextualizes him in a loving, kind and childish way or what happened and that he had betrayed them from 666 to which the Shadow gets angry.

Later Victoria and Epsilon discuss about Rosa's situation and why the queen was there in Mitsugoshi's branch, and then they calm down with how their lord Shadow is (according to how they see it). by the time Cid aka Shadow returns, Victoria and Epsilon are startled by him in an affectionate way and conpita to see who they give him a massage.

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, 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 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.

Cid Kagenou / Shadow
Victoria is one of the many girls in the Shadow garden, who has a deep love for her lord, Shadow. She has a deep respect, idolization and trust in her lord, she sees him as a god since when she had lost all confidence, joy, friendship, faith and hope in those she had, both those of the church and her followers, Shadow was the one who saved her from that torment, healed her and gave her a new purpose in her life.

Despite the strong change she has experienced at the personality level, which had become cold, arrogant, hasty, stubborn and insensible, Victoria still retains part of her kind and affectionate personality from the past, this is seen when she was about to die at the hands of one of the lieutenants of the Cult of Diabolos, when she is saved by Shadow, she adopted a childish and affectionate demeanor from when she was the saint. Although this is only shown to Shadow, some members of the Shadow Garden had the opportunity to see that childish and friendly side of victory, among them, is Epsilon, 664 and 665.

Epsilon
Victoria was respectful towards Epsilon as a superior. It helped that they are both madly in love for Shadow hence why they got along so well.

Rose Oriana
Victoria does not hide her dislike towards Rose out of jealousy that the princess was personally healed by her beloved Shadow. This dislike only worsened when Rose caused her to fail a mission for once. She giddily awaited Shadow to punish Rose, preferably execute her. After the death of Mordred, Victoria nonetheless given 666 another chance from her supposedly betrayal but warn her if she mess up their mission again, she won't be forgiving.
