the queen herself, victoria (character ask)
Oh, the most wonderful girl thank you!!
Why I like them
Her solos are some of the most mesmerizing parts of the show for me, and I would love to see them live. There's just this softness and grace about her that's very comforting.
Why I don’t
The entire 2019 Mr. Mistoffelees number was unbearably cringy for me as much as I like the film but particularly when she started singing. It was giving disney zombies....
Favorite episode (scene if movie)
I have three.
One of my first favorite scene is actually from Warsaw where she's dancing with the stars. It really goes back to her connection to the moon that nobody else seems to have.
Alternatively, I love this scene where Jemima wants to approach Grizabella and brings Victoria along with her, and Victoria hesitantly looks back but decides to go along with Jem. They both scatter off when Jenny forbids them from touching Grizabella but I love how it nods back to how they're two half's of a hole.
And of course, one of the softest parts in the show for me and in my opinion one of Victoria's best moments.
Favorite season/movie
I Like Victoria in all versions of cats' media!! even when she's less prominent like in shiki. But for favorites I'll say standard version, 2019 film and broadway revival.
Favorite line
We're doing 2019 for this since Victoria doesn't have any solo lines.
"But at least you have beautiful ghosts."
I know a lot of people don't like this song and the criticisms for it and Victoria's character are fair, but I do think this sort of naive condescend-Iness works as a flaw for her. She doesn't mean harm, she want's to cheer up Grizabella and show that they're similar but ends up making Grizabella still feel isolated just like the jellicles.
Favorite outfit
I've grown to like the white / gold Victoria costume quite a bit but here's some designs I'm fond of:
OTP
Ah, ok so I've been convinced a little but don't be mad please. 2019 verse and standard stage verse is with Rumpleteazer but revival verse is with Plato. I don't why or how that happened either but yea I hope that makes sense.
Brotp
Mistoffelees recently, but mostly with Jemima. Again, two halves of a whole.
Head Canon
She worries a lot about injuries since she's aware about how delicate bones are and how a significant injury could hinder her dancing. So, she tends to watch her surroundings and positing more carefully than others.
Unpopular opinion
Hypothetically, I wouldn't mind if more non-reps went the warsaw/shiki route and didn't have Vitoria do a pas de deux but instead had a different solo involving the stars/moon.
A wish
More non-replica's to go all out with her design. Really emphasize the ballerina part of her look.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen
probably losing her connection to the Jellicle moon, if she can't feel it at all she'll probably panic and assume something's wrong. If you want to look at it from a monochromatic sibling's angle, then she would've lost the one thing that made her "special" in comparison to her brother.
6 words to best describe them
HER WORDS they're perfect
Innocent, Romantic, Unselfconscious, Young, Inhibited, Inquisitive
My nickname for them
Again, I don't use character nicknames. But Vic<3
#thank you for the ask!#I love getting to talk about her as you can see#about the jem and vic thing specifically; They both feel the same way but have different ways of going about it#Jemima takes a more outspoken approach (Singing to and with Griz) whereas Victoria takes an action based approach only letting herself come#this felt so refreshing to do after the last one
