V I C T O R I A A N N E S C H R E A V Epᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ ━ Victoria has always had the appearance of an elegant princess to the public. Her beauty has only added to that as the years have passed, along with her easy-going and confident attitude on The Report and on camera. At home, she isn't that different, though she would never make any mischief on camera. Her family knows her as a daydreamer and a bit of a klutz, and Alex also knows her as a hopeless romantic. Victoria would never talk to anyone but him about her love life (or lack of one, really), even Nick or _____. Victoria can be quiet when she wants to be, but she can also be very loud, especially when with either of her brothers. Victoria has never had too much of a set personality: one minute she's loud and mischivous, the next she's fawning over an old black and white movie she's discovered, and the next she's so anxious she can burst into tears (though this side of her is rare). Whatever it is that makes up Victoria Anne Schreave, you know its incredibly unique.━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • ━━━━━━━━━━━━

bɪᴏɢʀᴀᴘʜʏ ━ 21 November. As November was nearing its end for the year, the winter chill was just setting in. There was no sign of snow yet, but it was much expected by the people of Illea, though not as much as the third child of the royal family. After the the first child (a boy) and another prince a year later, the people were ecstatic to learn of the little princess, named Victoria Anne Schreave. She had quiet an elegant name, both first and middle taken from her royal ancestors. To the public, that elegance fit her well as she grew up. At home, though, she was known to be a bit of a dreamer and very clumsy, even from the beginning. She was codled by her nanny and maids, only occasionally by her mother and never by her father, until she was about a year old, when Victoria began walking. She never crawled, though perhaps it might've helped her balance before she learned to walk. Victoria walked into almost anything there was she could walk into, and it was thought she might even need glasses. She didn't, she was just very clumsy. She loved walking though, especially following around her brothers, Alex (two years old) and Nick (three years old). She followed them around everywhere they went, even if it was just out of the door and back in to try and get rid of her. While she wasn't the best at walking, Nick did find other ways for them to get around quickly. He would pull her around or give her piggyback rides, sometimes even down the stairs until one or both of them fell. Once, their nanny found Nick and Alex trying to make Victoria stop crying, and began yelling at the three of them, knowing it wasn't an accident. Nothing ever was with them. Nick, usually the most mischievous one, soon taught Alex and Victoria all sorts of fun tricks, once Victoria was three and was able to get around a bit more. One of their favorite tricks was stealing the giant laundry hamper from the maids and sliding down the stairs. This was always Victoria's favorite part of the week (yes, it was weekly), though one of the three usually ended up getting hurt. After a few months, this routine was banned because of the new baby, Princess _______, was being cared for and so the older children were supposed to stop messing around so much. The baby didn't disrupt their fun, though, seeing as they found that a mattress from one of the guest rooms worked even better. The royal children continued this fun-filled frenzy until Victoria was seven years old, when Nick, nine at the time, was sent to a military academy. The palace became a lot quieter, though Victoria didn't understand why he had to leave and would even yell at one or both of her parents about it until they told her to get over it and that she could just write him a letter. They wrote back and forth for many years, until Nick came back nearly eight years later. During the time Alex was gone, Victoria and Alex became the best of friends, and would tell each other everything. They used to spend all day together, but their lessons seemed to be split their days up as they each got older. Alex would learn of politics and such since he had not been sent to the academy with his brother, and Victoria and _______ had to learn more feminine lessons, suitable for young women, as their mother would say. Victoria would've rather learned both, but it seemed that would not happen through either of her parents. She was around 10 at that time, and spent a couple of years in her silly lessons before she began talking to her father, to see if he would tell her anything, or let her sit in on lessons or meetings while she wasn't busy. Instead, the King and Queen decided to send her to a finishing school. Yes, it always seemed old fashioned, and that was why she hadn't been sent before. But she had spent too much time with her brothers, they feared, and so she left at age 11. Victoria was there for four years in total, learning of everything her Mother had wished she would learn. It wasn't as if Victoria wasn't grateful for some of these lessons, but she missed living at home. She was able to come home during the summer and a select few holidays, which was nice to see her siblings, but she just wanted to be finished with school. Victoria arrived home for good only a little bit before Nick came home as well, and their family was happily reunited again, picking up right where they left off. Nick was still the perfect older brother (the servants and other staff members didn't think so, but Victoria certainly did). They made up new games, snuck out at night when they needed a break, got back to talking to each other. They certainly weren't the closest sibling pair, but they were still pretty close friends. Victoria and Alex were still the best of friends after everything they had been through, and had a perfect balance of fun and serious times. If either of them needed to talk, they went straight to each other. She never did share trying to connect more with her father, though. James always seemed...cold. That isn't really a personality trait, but it was always how he seemed to act towards not only Victoria, but to everyone. Still, she never gave up trying to have him interact more with their family, maybe work a bit less. During her free time, occasionally with Alex or one of her other siblings, Victoria could be found outside. She loved the outdoors, though not in the winter. She was never a fan of the cold. But she did love laying in the grass or climbing trees or sneaking outside at night to look at the stars. Victoria is definitely a day dreamer, and one of her favorite things to imagine is travelling. She never really was allowed to travel that much, it was mainly just her father and Nick, though they did have family vacations every once and a while. But what Victoria dreamed of was not a week-long family vacation, it was to travel the entire world. She wanted to see everything there was to see, no matter how long it took her. She and Alex sometimes dreamed of leaving to travel the world, with different places and stories every time they talked about it. Victoria knows it won't ever happen, but that's where imagination comes in, isn't it?ғᴀᴍɪʟʏ • mother ,
