Victoria

Victoria is a veteran witch and artisan whose technical knowledge places her among the Tower's leading magic specialists. Her early encounter with Yeon-woo grows into a working alliance, while her bond with Kahn draws her into protecting Doyle and supporting Arthia's larger wars.

Biography

A witch in the Monkey King's palace

Victoria enters the struggle over the Monkey King's palace as an experienced power with her own interest in its legacy, placing her in the same unstable contest as Yeon-woo and the other challengers. She studies the palace's mechanisms rather than relying on brute force, and the danger forces temporary cooperation even where trust is limited. Yeon-woo's ability to survive and manipulate the inheritance establishes him as someone she must treat as a peer rather than a disposable novice. (Chapters 151–167)

Choosing Kahn and Doyle

Victoria's relationship with Kahn makes Doyle's exploitation by divine powers a personal crisis rather than a distant factional matter. Through the campaigns in Tartarus and the Underworld, she supports the effort to recover him and remains beside Kahn when Doyle awakens from Persephone's forced manifestation. Doyle recognizes the pair as closer than blood relatives, and Victoria's concern helps give him a family to return to after being repeatedly used as an Apostle. (Chapters 315–373, 448)

An artisan for Arthia's decisive battles

As Yeon-woo's enemies move beyond the scale of ordinary players, Victoria contributes the expertise of an artisan instead of trying to determine every outcome through combat. She works within the circle of specialists supporting Arthia, coordinating magical analysis and construction with figures such as Henova, Brahm, and Anastasia. Her later contribution to the preparations around Scythe helps turn accumulated materials and concepts into a weapon suited to confronting Allforone. (Chapters 605–606, 653)

Appearance and personality

Victoria is presented as a mature, commanding witch whose bearing makes her seniority apparent even among rankers. Her visual identity is tied to a magician's robes and the composed posture of someone accustomed to examining spells and artifacts under pressure rather than rushing into a contest without preparation. (Chapters 151–156, 315)

She is sharp, practical, and confident in her technical judgments. Victoria can be severe when work or survival demands it, but her guarded manner softens around Kahn and Doyle. Her willingness to collaborate with other artisans also shows that professional pride does not prevent her from accepting another specialist's domain when a project exceeds any one craft. (Chapters 315–373, 448, 605–653)

Abilities and powers

Witchcraft and magical analysis

Victoria uses structured witchcraft built from formulas, prepared magic, and control over large amounts of magic power. Her spells serve attack, restraint, defense, and the analysis of unfamiliar mechanisms, making her particularly valuable in constructed spaces such as the Monkey King's palace. Preparation and comprehension matter to her method: resistant divine powers or systems whose principles remain hidden cannot simply be overridden by adding more energy. (Chapters 151–167, 315–329)

Artisan's craft

As one of the Tower's foremost artisans, Victoria can translate magical concepts into stable enchantments and integrate her work with metallurgy and alchemy supplied by other masters. Her role in late-stage weapon preparation is collaborative, and the corpus does not attribute the completed artifact's entire power to her alone. This division of labor is also a limit: she supplies magical structure and judgment, while other specialists provide materials, forging, or separate conceptual authorities. (Chapters 337–355, 605–606, 653)

Relationships

• Kahn: Kahn is Victoria's closest personal partner. Their concern for Doyle and shared campaigns make them a family unit rather than merely fellow combatants.
• Doyle: Victoria helps recover Doyle from the consequences of divine control and is present when he awakens, giving him a trusted relationship outside his forced Apostleship.
• Yeon-woo: Victoria first encounters Yeon-woo amid competition over the Monkey King's legacy, then becomes a technical ally in his campaigns and final preparations.
• Henova: Henova and Victoria contribute different crafts to Arthia's most demanding equipment work, with his forging complementing her magical expertise.
• Brahm: Brahm is another senior scholar-artisan whose knowledge overlaps with Victoria's during the construction and planning required for divine-level conflicts.
