FULL NAME:: Victoria Rose Ashwood
NICKNAMES:: Tori, Toria, Rose, TorTor
GENDER:: Female
ACTUAL AGE:: 19
APPARENT AGE:: Teens/Early 20's
SPECIES/RACE:: Angel (Nephilim)
PREFERRED PRONOUNS:: She/Her/Hers
SEXUAL ORIENTATION:: Polyamorous Demisexual
FACECLAIM:: Fo Porter
NATIONALITY:: Creole/Hispanic/White
HEIGHT:: 5' 2"
HAIR:: Dark Brown/Black
EYES:: Brown
SKIN:: Cinnamon
DISTINGUISHING MARKS::
Victoria has two large wings that sprung from her shoulder blades when she was but seven years old. When extended, they reach from her shoulders to the ground and expand a little past her fingertips. They are dark black in color, with white spots dotting them. See a picture here.
She has freckles that dot her face and go down her back, curving around her wings.
APPEARANCE::
Victoria is a small thing, unlike those in her family. She stands at only five foot two, weighing barely over a hundred pounds. She is very thin, though this is due to both stress and her metabolism, which runs three times higher than that of a normal person. She is very lightweight anyways, as that allows her wings to be able to carry her when she wants to fly. Due to her weight, her face is angular, with high cheekbones and a slightly pointy chin.
Unlike most in her family, however, Tori is naturally dark-skinned, boasting a very cinnamon-colored tone. Freckles a shade or two darker than her skin dot her face and travel down her back, though they curve around the base of her wings. Her hair is dark and cropped short to her head, to avoid getting in her eyes. Her eyes are almond shaped, though slightly widened, giving her a doe-eyed look; her irises are brown in color.
She tends to wear shirts that tie behind her neck, to give her wings some room.
PERSONALITY::
Tori is a very innocent woman, despite all the things she's been through. She wants to see the best in everyone and has, because of this, come to the conclusion that everyone deserves a chance. Sometimes, they even deserve a second or third chance, though this depends on what crime they may or may not have committed. Because of her nativity, Tori is also very inexperienced in the ways of the world. She knows little to nothing about sex, though, due to working as the DJ at a strip club, she knows a little bit about alcohol and men.
That being said, Tori is not all sunlight and roses. Her past has left its scar on her, and left her with her own set of fears and problems. For instance, she cannot handle being in a small, enclosed place, or anywhere that is completely dark. She finds herself growing afraid whenever someone raises their voice or fist. Because of this, Tori has found the appropriate defense mechanism: she raises her wings and fluffs out the feathers, thus trying to make herself look "bigger."
The Nephilim also has a talent for cooking, taking care of children, and calming down the four Russians she currently lives with. She is also said to be a decent singer and an even better DJ.

STRENGTHS::
WEAKNESSES::
SECRETS::
Tori has learned from her father how to strike fear into the hearts of all, especially when they push her too far. All she has to do is smile and empty all emotion from her eyes, and suddenly she's the most terrifying thing in the world. She is also a far better healer than any Nephilim should be.
She is also a bastard.

MARITAL STATUS:: Single (Engaged, but ran away)
HISTORY::
Victoria was born to Richard and Marquierrite Ashwood -- or rather, that's the story they tell. In reality, Tori is the daughter of a Creole man. Her mother, after years of abuse by Richard, spent a month engaged in an affair that would make the racist's blood run hot. From that affair came Tori, whose skin was, luckily, not that different from her father's.
Richard was a man darkened by the sun and hardened by the carelessness of the bayou. He was an alligator hunter who had spent his entire life out on the swamp and only desired one thing: a son to help him. After four daughters, he finally managed to have his son, Jackson. Seven years later, Victoria was born, a surprise to both of her parents. Needless to say, Richard was not pleased at having another mouth to feed, especially when that mouth belonged to a girl.
For the first few years of her life, Tori was relatively happy. She and her brother, Jackson, were very close. He taught her to walk and talk, to read and write. He would hold her hands as she stumbled this way and that on chubby little legs and cooed his praises. But then Richard announced that Jackson was now old enough to continue on with the family business, and from that point, Tori's life went downhill.
The more time he spent around Richard, the more her brother grew to be like her father. He would grow short with Tori, snap her head off if she couldn't get something right. Before long, she was being locked in closets, reduced to crying, and knocked around. With both her father's anger and her brother's short temper turned onto her, Victoria learned to keep her head down and her mouth shut. While her other sisters either married or ran off, Tori stayed by her family and her mother.
When she was but seven years old, her wings were born. It was a long night of blood and horror, and all Tori can remember is her father's anger and her mother's sobbing. From that day on, she was removed from school and forced to take up the position of her mother's little helper. Because of that, Victoria cannot read or write or do any math beyond that of a third grader, though she can cook and clean.
When Tori turned fourteen, Richard decided that his daughter needed to get out of the house. That is, she needed to get married and start being productive. While selling the alligators to his favorite buyer, he and the man, known as Logan, began to talk. Logan, a man in his mid-twenties, had just lost his wife in childbirth and was looking for another to take her place; a position Richard knew just the person for.
Richard set up the engagement between Victoria and Logan. The two were promised to be married when Tori was sixteen, but that wasn't enough for her. She didn't want to be married; she didn't even want to be in Louisiana anymore. And so, when she was fifteen, the half-angel took off. Through dumb luck, she made it up to Chicago.
At the moment, she lives with Natalia Rudakova and her son, Rurik Rudakov. They have taken her in and consider her part of the family, though she continues to pay rent - against their wishes - and babysit as best she can.
