the biography
-
the daughter to a (now) disgraced politician coming from old money and a disgruntled, yet loyal to a fault, housewife, there was never a time victoire didnât know luxury â or chaos.Â
as a matter of fact, her entrance to the world was an example of both. the first â and what would ultimately be only â child to gabriel and nicolette bisset, there was no expense spared as they prepared for her arrival; hundreds of designer onesies sheâd grow out of within weeks were purchased, an italian artist flown in and commissioned to hand paint a mural in her nursery and her mother only received the finest of prenatal care. for most, it was an ostentatious display that was NOT needed. but that has always been the bisset way. flamboyant and shameless flaunting of their wealth was the norm as it was, so of course theyâd go all out when expecting a baby.
at the same time, there was a certain level of disappointment. as far as her father went, at least. he had been hoping for a son to follow in his footsteps. but, heâd tell his wife in an attempt to convince them both, a little girl wasnât so bad â heâd love, cherish and spoil her regardless. and he did do at least two of those three things. but that son heâd been hoping for never came. once victoire was born, his wife refused to let him touch her. he assumed it was âbaby hormonesâ but really it was because hours before her baby shower, nicolette had received a call from one of his mistresses confessing the affair because she felt âbadâ knowing she was pregnant. nicolette never confronted her husband but their relationship was never the same.
growing up in the lapse of luxury, most would assume vic had nothing to complain about. while her material needs were always met, the emotional ones were often neglected. her mother, bless her heart, tried. but it wasnât easy for her. nicolette was responsible for raising their child and presenting the bissets as the picture perfect family all while knowing her husband was fucking around on her. who wouldnât become resentful dealing with that? snide comments were thrown across the dinner table, there were times sheâd disappear in her room with a bottle of wine. sheâd try to be there for her daughter as much as she could but she struggled. and her father, on the other hand, focused more on his career than his family. a lawyer turned politician, he campaigned, had frequent business meetings and a long list of secret lovers to split his time between. hard to be present with a schedule like that.Â
gabrielâs career choice was confusing for young victoire. there were those that publicly villainized him and thought he was the devil. there were those that put him on a pedestal. it was overwhelming... and alluring. her father was the mayor of wellesley her entire life and was even campaigning for senate when the âscandalâ happened. it was always a part of her life and politics intrigued her. sheâd dreamed of being the first woman president.Â
her father vowed to help her get into politics and the first step of that was hiring her to be his publicist as soon as she graduated from college. it was a blatant act of nepotism but at least she was really freakinâ good at her job. she gets word accusations of bribery would be hitting the local news and that same day thereâs a press conference so shots of him shaking hands, kissing babies and making grand promises distracts from the news. his morality is called into question and heâs front and center campaigning for every local charity for six months. it was a bit grimey witnessing fully the seedy underbelly of politics and her idealistic view of it changed drastically. she no longer wanted to be president or a senator or anything else like that. she did, though, learn she really did like pr and enjoyed the role she had. at least until she was expected to pay off her fatherâs pregnant mistress who was threatening to spill the beans about their illicit affair.
while her mother had known about his infidelities for years, vic had no clue. she always assumed her father was working. that was why he couldnât come to her recitals or presentations in school. that was why he was late to every single one of her birthday parties. she had convinced herself that her father wasnât a scumbag but a highly ambitious politician and anyone else in his position would do the same.
to an extent, she had idolized her father â glorifying the parent who was never really there and whose approval she would have died to get. the version of him she had created was destroyed. she was furious, heartbroken and confused. she quit that very day and a week later, the news broke. that one woman speaking out opened the floodgates and years of affairs and other naughty behavior was broadcasted across the state. her mother would have made tammy wynette proud with how she stood by her man but victoire did not follow suit. she worked in public relations so she never outright spoke against him because no one would hire her after publicly blasting a former client in the press. even if it was her father. but she knew how to expertly throw shade. and she did. quite a few times, actually.Â
after she quit, victoire ended up in new york where she worked with a pr firm for a couple of years before getting a job with a more prestigious one in los angeles which prompted her move to silver lake. itâs been surprisingly difficult for her to adjust to life on the west coast. sheâs a new england girl through and through and thereâs just something about palm trees and sunshine that feels wrong. she also just really misses her family. well, just her mother really. they make do by facetiming twice a week and theyâre even in the middle of discussing flying her out for the holidays. unfortunately, though, itâs unlikely to happen as her mother is insistent on bringing gabriel. victoire hasnât seen or spoken to her father since the day she told him to go fuck himself and stormed out of his office. not because of any guilt from âabandoningâ her father. â sheâd add âessentially ruined my fatherâs political careerâ to her resume if she thought itâd help her â but because she is still so damn angry. the closest thing to contact they have is him wiring her money every month. this âallowanceâ isnât really needed, victoire makes a very good living without needing any of what she calls bisset blood money. but she allows it to continue because she considers it restitution for decades of lackluster parenting and lies.
where victoire really shines is her career. sheâs relatively new to the scene â at least compared to most publicists in hollywood â with only seven years of experience under her belt but donât confuse quantity with quality. if you are a public figure, you want vic on your team. sheâs tenacious and, while some may view her methods as underhanded, there is no story she canât get ahead of. and if she canât distract from it entirely, she can turn it into a positive or at least paint her client as the victim. duis, public disagreements with significant others, leaked sex tapes. sheâs seen it all. sheâd dedicated to the cause and makes up her own rules, but also has a strict moral code so she wonât do something or work with someone that goes against that.
victoire thrives in social situations and really loves to hear herself talk. she also tends to assume sheâs the smartest person in the room and just expects everyone to go along with what she says. and she doesnât really handle it well when that doesnât happen. some may say sheâs stubborn, she says sheâs a leader who likes to take charge and handle things. sheâs a very honest and straightforward person who is clear about her intentions in a relationship whether itâs professional, platonic or romantic. she doesnât play games, sheâs not wishy-washy and she has a tendency to see the world in black and white.Â
coming from a long line of elitists, vic is proud to say that is at least one pattern she broke. she just isnât one to parade around her wealth. yes, she has a nice house and she does tend to favor designer brands when it comes to clothing, but there really isnât anything pretentious about her. the closest youâll get is her having dinner at a five star restaurant or buying a ridiculously expensive bottle of wine. but thatâs only because she likes good food and even better wine. sheâs not one to show off and is just as likely to be seen at a fancy hollywood party mingling with clients as she is laying on her couch, wrapped up in blankets and watching golden girls reruns. sheâs a combination of dorothy and blanche, by the way.Â

anyways, i think this is long enough so iâll wrap it up and just say i am excited to be here and that i look forward to writing with you all. iâll be reaching out to everyone regarding plots at some point (i say some point because iâm a slow typer with a small attention span who is currently working 60 hours a week so iâm easily distracted AND tired) but you can expedite the process by sending me a message or liking this and iâll put you at the top of my list. in the meantime, though, feel free to just assume connections. we can go with the flow and i donât require connections before interacting anyway. aaaand now iâm really stopping!Â
