She’s rather peaceful in nature, preferring to use subterfuge when necessary to keep the local governments and the supernaturals in her territory in check. She is strict when it comes to the laws and people will find her quite nasty when it comes to people breaking her rules. She’s found to be mostly agreeable and all she asks is for others to keep their end of her deals. Something she greatly enjoys is making deals, that and living a quiet life in luxury, when she gets the chance she will work towards that goal, making deals or doing whatever she can within the bounds of the law to get what she wants. She does have particular, expensive, tastes, especially for things that are sweet when it comes to blood and other things, those who supply the necessities for vampires and other supernaturals know to keep some rather good blood and sweets on hand in case she visits, which usually lightens her mood. occasionally she goes out of her way to learn something new, and enjoys the quiet moments of the night. She despises the sewers, not liking even her people sleeping and remaining there.

Estate
Victoria lives on the Romana Estate in Chicago. The estate itself is well guarded by paid security as well as Vampiric Servants and seldom admits visitors without invitation. Believed to be owned by the reclusive matriarch of the Romana family that simply has strikingly similar looks to her ancestor. In reality, it is the home of the city's master vampire. The site has acres of lush gardens, a large hedge maze, and even some wooded areas with a large palatial mansion at its center.
Background
Born in the Chicago area, Victoria came from a long line of vampires that controlled the region due to their knowledge and power in the region. She remained aloof from most others during her life, She learned how to make herself appear less vampiric, and how to blend in with the humans around her, this allowed her to go to school with humans and to get a considerable education over the years. She learned a lot about history and government. While her parents had control of the region she worked in the mayor’s office as a secretary for a time, and as an operative for her parents. She’d always had an affinity for magic, and it made her a powerful ally and asset for her family, with her magic and other skills she was a good natural deterrent from the interests that she and her family had.
Eventually the time came for her to take her place as Head Vampire for the region and let her parents enjoy their quiet retirement, she’s been the head vampire for around 20 years now, rather new in many cases, but she shows promise and fine diplomatic and leadership skills.
