Discover how childhood, transformation and loss led Victoria to be one of the villains of the Twilight saga
First interpreted by Rachelle Lefevre in “Twilight” and “New Moon”, Victoria, also came to life through the performance of Bryce Dallas Howardin “Eclipse”, a plot released in 2010 that has the following synopsis on Netflix: “While being pursued by a vampire with a thirst for revenge, Bella tries to balance her love for the vampire Edward and her growing attraction for the werewolf Jacob.”
The red-haired vampire doesn’t have much of her origins presented in the movie franchise, and while the decision to keep the character a mystery doesn’t detract from Victoria’s menacing aura, knowing more about her childhood, transformation and loss helps. to better understand her motivations as a villain.
For this reason, RECREIO has gathered below everything you need to know about Victoria’s past. Check out!
First years
Born in 1550 in London, England, Victoria — like her older sister, Anna — was the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman and one of the servants of the house, and had a difficult childhood filled with housework, as explained by the Aficionados portal.
In addition, Victoria and her sister were mistreated and exploited in this and other jobs they performed for other members of the nobility, which culminated in the two going to a brothel, where they offered their work in exchange for a place to live.
They remained there until they came into conflict with an abusive pimp, according to Screenrant. That’s because, after that, Anne ran away, having no choice but to leave Victoria behind, which made the girl live under the commands of this man until she finally had the chance to escape.
Early Years as a Vampire
Some time later, Victoria and Anne are reunited, but the older sister was no longer the same. In the meantime, Anne ended up being turned into a vampire, and since then she lived her days in search of human victims to feed on.
With that, in an attempt to keep her sister close and well, the vampire tried to convince Victoria that becoming a creature that survives by consuming blood for all eternity would spare her the fear and difficulties she had experienced until then.
Victoria no longer had any hope that she could have a better future than the one proposed by her older sister, which made her accept being turned into a vampire.
Conflict with the Volturi
After the transformation, Victoria lived ‘quiet’ years alongside Anne and the coven that formed over the years, until the Volturi clan crossed her path.
Led by Aro, Caius and Marcus, the Volturi hunted those who challenged their leadership or who could lead humans to discover vampires, thus, the encounter led to the death of all members of the coven, except Victoria, who due to her ability to camouflage among humans, managed to escape.
This conflict explains why Victoria didn’t side with the Volturi even though they fought the same enemy, as the vampires killed the only person who had been by her side since she was born, her sister, Anne.
emergence of james
Years later, Victoria met James. The impetuous hunter won Victoria’s heart, and together they lived a good few years in Europe while on the run from the Volturi.
But, as Victoria’s peace never lasts long, James ended up being killed by members of the Cullen clan after trying to hunt down Bella. This action aroused Victoria’s hatred, who, upon losing her great love, becomes willing to kill Bella so that Edward feels the same as she did when she lost James.
