Personality: Throughout her life, Victoria has never spent much time in any one place for long, leaving her not one to develop friendships easily. She's a very guarded person, cautious with who she trusts, and she has been since she was little. Because of her natural wariness when it comes to others, it takes a lot to get on Victoria's good side, and once there, it takes even longer for her to forgive you of any transgressions you might make against her.

However, like any good leader, she's got charisma in spades, and she can be incredibly charming...when she wants to be. She's an excellent hostess, good with casual conversation and small-talk. Most of the time (and to anyone who isn't directly on her bad side), she's one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. Granted, she won't go out of her way to help those who can't help themselves, but she's not going to lash out at anyone who doesn't directly threaten her or her family.

Though she has a modicum of control when it comes to the general mundane populace, Victoria has a brutally murderous streak when it comes to the things in the world that she feels pose a danger to her family. Though she tends to leave the killing to the males of the Argent clan (after all, it's what they're trained for), she's not afraid to take matters into her own hands if she feels that the steps being taken by others aren't efficient enough. She's ruthless when it comes to the protection of her family, and will do anything to ensure the safety of her blood.

In the Argent family, women are the leaders of the clan. As the eldest female of her family, she's primarily responsible for her direct kin, and she doesn't respond well to being defied by those who are under her - including her daughter. She can go from cold to hot in an instant, and she doesn't take criticism lightly. If you're going to have a cross word to say to Victoria Argent, you better have the means to back it up, else she's going to put you in your place.

She does have a tendency to the extreme. There's nothing 'mediocre' about Victoria Argent - she lives hard, fast, and without restraint. Simple solutions rarely occur to her; she's not one for the easy way out. She's just as likely to take a knife to her arm to cultivate a reason to talk to a nurse as she is to spike the punch with wolfsbane at a party to keep out the werewolves. All in all, Victoria is a terrifying woman, even before you take into the account that she's recently been given the 'gift' of lycanthropy.

Background: Victoria Argent has spent most of her life migrating from place to place for one reason or another. She met and married Chris Argent shortly after high school, and began actively taking part in the hunting and killing of supernatural creatures once she was officially a member of the Argent family.

She was a buyer at a boutique in San Francisco for a year before the Argent family moved to Beacon Hills, and within the year she was bitten while fighting with Derek Hale. Rather than accept life as a werewolf, she asked her husband to help her kill herself, which he did.

Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths: Natural leader, fast learner, charismatic

Abilities:
Expert Marksman: Being a werewolf hunter, Victoria is an accomplished marskman, both with a bow and with a gun. She's been training with both since before she married Chris Argent.
Lycanthropy: Having been bitten just before she came to Ruby City, Victoria is brand-new to the werewolf game, which gives her naturally heightened senses and the ability to shapeshift. She doesn't quite have control over her wolfish instincts just yet.
