== Overview ==
 
By all appearances, just another drab and uninteresting Midlander.
 
  
Closer inspection unearths more questions than answers.

''"I'm not anyone."''

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Basic Info</div>===
 +
 
 +
A quiet, drab, and unobtrusive Midlander. No one of note. Victoria is possibly the least likely person in Eorzea to stand out in a crowd, and from the manner in which she attempts to blend into the background, she seems to prefer it that way. By all appearances, she seems to be nothing more than yet another lower-class tradesman. However, any amount of digging into her background past the level of 'cursory' unearths a few questions.
 +
 
 +
===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance</div>===
 +
 
 +
Imposing is not a word that could be applied to Victoria without a hearty, scornful guffaw immediately following. She stands at about five and a half fulms in height, all slender limbs, slim hips, and narrow shoulders. The word 'unhealthy' seems to click into place around her like a set of manacles tightened round a wrist. Her skin is the same sickly-white shade of a fish's pallid underbelly, and her washed-out grey eyes are perpetually underscored by bruise-colored smudges born of many stressed and sleepless nights; what nails she has are bitten ragged nearly down to the quick. Her hair is ash blonde and cropped neatly short.
 +
 
 +
Victoria's features have enough definition to indicate that she's no longer a child, but the soft angles of her face give away her relative youth, despite the marks indicating that she's been through some form of accident or ordeal. Her face, hands, and upper body are spattered with what seem to be shrapnel scars. One in particular streaks across her nose, another nicks her upper lip, yet another splits her left eyebrow a third of the way from its end, and the top of her left ear is ragged and tattered.
 +
 
 +
She dresses plainly, as neither her position nor her meager income allow her to indulge in vanity. Despite her lack of means, she manages to keep herself neat and presentable, if rather conservatively attired. Even in the Thanalan heat, she seemingly never wears anything that lacks long sleeves or a high collar.

Victoria seems to be an extremely anxious person. She's prone to shrinking from conflict or dogged inquiry, cringing away from perceived aggression as though she expects violence. She flinches when touched and pulls away from physical contact as soon as possible.

When asked about herself or what happened to her face, her answers are vague and evasive. If pressed, she will simply insist that she doesn't warrant any extensive interest, or really any interest at all. She is, in her own words, not anyone.

Any verbal misstep or other variety of blunder ends up inevitably followed by a mumbled apology. She seems to expect the worst possible outcome as a penalty for her mistakes. All in all, she apparently strives to avoid any serious scrutiny.

No criminal record, no guild membership, not even a bar tab. Questioning the average hyur on the street yields nothing but shrugs and confused looks, and digging into census and citizenship records of any of the three Eorzean city-states reveals that no one by the name of Victoria Castle technically exists before 1579. On paper, she is almost a nonentity.

Basic Info

A quiet, drab, and unobtrusive Midlander. No one of note. Victoria is possibly the least likely person in Eorzea to stand out in a crowd, and from the manner in which she attempts to blend into the background, she seems to prefer it that way. By all appearances, she seems to be nothing more than yet another lower-class tradesman. However, any amount of digging into her background past the level of 'cursory' unearths a few questions.

Appearance

Imposing is not a word that could be applied to Victoria without a hearty, scornful guffaw immediately following. She stands at about five and a half fulms in height, all slender limbs, slim hips, and narrow shoulders. The word 'unhealthy' seems to click into place around her like a set of manacles tightened round a wrist. Her skin is the same sickly-white shade of a fish's pallid underbelly, and her washed-out grey eyes are perpetually underscored by bruise-colored smudges born of many stressed and sleepless nights; what nails she has are bitten ragged nearly down to the quick. Her hair is ash blonde and cropped neatly short.

Victoria's features have enough definition to indicate that she's no longer a child, but the soft angles of her face give away her relative youth, despite the marks indicating that she's been through some form of accident or ordeal. Her face, hands, and upper body are spattered with what seem to be shrapnel scars. One in particular streaks across her nose, another nicks her upper lip, yet another splits her left eyebrow a third of the way from its end, and the top of her left ear is ragged and tattered.

She dresses plainly, as neither her position nor her meager income allow her to indulge in vanity. Despite her lack of means, she manages to keep herself neat and presentable, if rather conservatively attired. Even in the Thanalan heat, she seemingly never wears anything that lacks long sleeves or a high collar.

Physical Appearance

Build: Slim, almost boyish; little obvious muscle definition.
Height: Five fulms, five ilms.
Weight: Somewhere between 110 and 120 ponze.
Skin tone: Almost unhealthily pale.
Hair Color: Ash blonde.
Hairstyle: Very short, but well-maintained.
Eye Color: Pale grey.
Voice: Higher midrange. Quiet and prone to trailing off into silence.
