Born into the prestigious Varro family, Victoria ir Varro grew up surrounded by tales of Garlemald’s greatness and was indoctrinated from a young age into the Empire’s philosophy of supremacy. As a pureblood Garlean, she inherited not only the third eye but the deeply ingrained belief in her people’s inherent superiority. She wholeheartedly believes in the Empire’s mission to bring order to the world, even if that order must be imposed through force and domination.Victoria served under her cousin, Valens van Varro, during her early military career, where she witnessed his cruelty first-hand. But unlike those who were horrified by his sadistic methods, Victoria saw it as a necessary means to ensure Garlean dominance. She admired Valens’ ruthlessness and has since modeled her own leadership on it, though with her own sense of precision and control.Nicknamed “The Scarlet Needle”, Victoria is known for her surgical strikes and ruthless efficiency. She earned this title due to her penchant for using long-range tactics and her mastery of magitek weaponry, which she deploys with deadly accuracy. The red-tipped ends of her long, white hair became her signature after an early mission, where her squad wiped out a rebellion in Dalmasca—leaving behind a sea of blood.Victoria believes that there is no place for weakness or mercy in the Empire, and she is unapologetically dedicated to Garlemald’s cause, no matter how brutal its methods. Unlike Valens, she is not sadistic for its own sake; her cruelty is calculated, and every action serves the greater good of the Empire. She never hesitated or questioned her loyalty to the Empire and has never needed any form of brainwashing—Garlemald is her life’s purpose.
Victoria is cold, calculating, and intensely loyal to the Garlean Empire. She is a pragmatist and sees the world in stark terms of order versus chaos, with the Empire as the only true force capable of bringing order. Unlike her cousin Valens, she does not revel in cruelty, but she is willing to use any means necessary—including oppression, violence, and terror—to achieve the Empire’s goals.Her leadership style is focused on efficiency and precision, earning her the moniker “Scarlet Needle.” She is respected, if not feared, by her troops for her ability to win battles with minimal resources, and she commands with a presence that brooks no defiance. To her, there is no moral conflict in what she does—there is only the Empire’s will.Victoria is deeply nationalistic and believes that the Garlean people are inherently superior. This belief drives her to view other races and cultures as obstacles to be crushed underfoot. She respects strength, but only when it serves Garlemald. While others may see the cruelty of the Empire as a flaw, Victoria sees it as a necessary virtue, essential to maintaining dominance.
