Special Characteristics
❆ Tattoos
The Latin phrase, "Vi veri veniversum vivus vici" is inked around the wrist of V's right hand, giving the impression of a bracelet when observed from afar. The line roughly translates to, "By the power of truth I, a mortal, have conquered all creation."
Another tattoo that Via has is the number 5, etched around her left shoulder blade in blue ink, with a circle surrounding it. This signifies her birth as the fifth Vicario child.
❆ Immortality
Due to effects of her magic, Via ages according to her own will. The cells that decay in a normal person's body and cause them to age are controlled by Via herself in her case. She subconsciously rejuvenates the cells all the time, keeping her physique at the same moment in time forever. However, she does wield the capacity to age older or younger when she chooses by alternating the properties of her cells. Note that this doesn't make the woman immune from unnatural reasons of death; but just aging.
Personality
Via is a damned grifter, in every sense of the word. Every pore of her is made up for this task. Not as a con-artist when it comes to her physical appearance, but with her essence instead; and she's one helluva of a chameleon. She is who you want her to be. She is the person who unlocks your heart. The perfect person. The person you dreamed of - the lover, the charmer, the best friend, the casual friend, your library buddy, the dump of your emotions, the one who reminds you of your long-lost sibling, so on and so forth. The list is perpetual. But guess what? She's the one who crushes your heart, soul and spirit into one bloody blob if and when it pays her. And easy money and power is what she lives for. The solidification of a dream; the dream of not living a life that is one long line of fine. But, a life of pleasure, gaiety, ebullience, whatever that makes life feel like coke. Whatever keeps her high.
V is the owner of an awfully rational mind, which keeps basic instinct miles away from her. Having lived a life that has spanned eons, she has grown to be a person who's well-aware of every inch of her emotional realm. And this makes her capable of holding it all in when necessary, which may come off as cold and distant for the people around her; but is rather just an after effect of truly understanding what she feels and why she feels it. Besides, long years of being surrounded by mortals and seeing the world die and revive again has separated her from emotional attachment - since it's truly futile and a tad bit dangerous for somebody like her.
Via gives off a terribly confident aura, an imposing demeanor and this bizarre idea that she towers over you whenever she's being her real self. Whatever she says, she says with the utmost belief of being right and that's only because she would've taken her own comfortable time to make sure that she is, indeed, right. Also, what may seem like a merciless woman of pride happens to be quite goal-oriented and ambitious. The blue-haired woman reaches out for what she wants with a perfect plan laid out on her palm. Her meticulousness in planning is severe and nearly inhumane; being the person who has medical and commercial appointments of even the next year jotted down in her diary.
Via is generally stand-offish, but she's believes in hogging the limelight when necessary. She idolizes power and authority while leaving no stone unturned for getting both. With each age and each circle of people living and dying all around her, V knows that it is only in the fate of a few to leave a permanent mark on the world. And since she's the kind of person who believes in leaving behind a legacy when they leave the world; to not be just another head in the crowd, her every action aims to leave behind her own mark.
Due to the above thirst for authority and a constant need of taking over the wheel, Via makes for a fine leader. To her, the most important aspect of leadership is not losing her calm. And since a pleasant mien is directly influenced by one's emotions, it's almost implied that V does a great job with it.
A voracious reader and sophophile is another aspect that defines Via. Since the centuries of her existence, she's held interest in every bit of literature. It's worth noticing that a lot of V's ideas and trickery and fake charm comes from the knowledge she gathered within her well-loved books - a lot of psychology books, actually. Surprisingly enough, V can absorb the writer's idea better than a paper can absorb ink; so the applications come quite easily to her.
Within the battle-field, Via is an undeviating woman. She doesn't believe in toying around with her opponents or victims. Just get your job done - kill, torture, annihilate - provided that it's in the job sheet. Inked words are her ultimate command. When it comes to tactics, she's slow and deliberate and meticulous, a charming vixen of cool nerves and sufficient dexterity in the body; coupled with impressive tactician abilities.
Conclusively, Via is a morally black character, and a vindictive one as well. She doesn't give a damn about the ways she achieves her means, but just the results. She'll lie, blackmail, physically torture, manipulate and maybe even murder to get to her ends. (And only to reach her goals, never for amusement.) And she would not show even a paltry shade of remorse while doing so. Albeit, she's not the vain criminal who would go around and leak about their achievements - if one could call it that - and get imprisoned by a bad turn of events. V is completely mute about her activities and doesn't budge to spill out her deepest secrets in any case.
Likes
● Theorem of Evolution
Gifted with a seemingly endless life has left a lot of time in V's hands; time to observe and learn the world as it grew from a irrelevant blob to a prosperous and mighty sphere. And what fascinates her the most within this observation is how creatures and even the very soil has changed and adapted to each other's necessities - somewhat like the perfectly fitting gears within a clock. It amuses her to watch and learn of this beautiful progression and maybe even create personalized reasons for their occurrence.
● Art & Music & Poetry & Literature
Having lived a life over centuries and centuries, Via has learned that art is more stable than humans. Being somebody who isn't the most comfortable with the constant of change, the woman takes great interest in all kinds of art, be it in paint, ink or melodies. She does tap into them herself, sometimes, though doesn't particularly qualify as a maestro in any. She's just a autodidact that refuses to put much efforts into any of the aforementioned activities, but enjoys other people's creativity and talents unabashedly.
● Avenging
It's bad enough that she has a classic case of Achievers Syndrome, but Via goes beyond issues of entitlement. She doesn't just want people to give her whatever she wants—she wants total control over their will in doing so, and if she even suspects you of wronging her, the Law of V Land states that you must pay. In blood. Unsurprisingly, given what a perfectionist she is, Via's plans for her enemies aren't just thrown together haphazardly. Nope— this lady can spend a year putting the pieces together carefully. Discipline is her thing.
Dislikes
● Insects
V dislikes bugs and insects from the bottom of her heart. She sees them as creatures representing the dirt, dust, scum and weak of the world. She can sometimes be seen destroying insects with her magic, not giving a care in the world for the comfort or discomfort of anybody in the vicinity.
● Roses
It's more than the allergy that she has. She just happens to hate the red, yellow, pink, white, whatever color flowers. They are, in her opinion; ordinary. They seem to represent a complete lack of originality or creativity and she loathes the idea of some lovers using the flower to please their partner.
● Gullibility
Being a person who gets into many people's personal lives due to the missions and jobs that she handles, V has grown to set a certain bar of difficulty that she needs to cross to become better at what she does. And gullible people are the worst people to practice and get better on. The woman likes a tough victim, someone hard to persuade and reluctant to spill out secrets - and with each new client, she hopes to find a new victim who'd be better than the last one.
Motivations
● Power
Via adores the idea of power. She loves being in control of all situations, and sometimes even the center of attention. This might make her seem like a manipulative individual, which by a long extent is true. She is hell-bent on the idea of obtaining more power, having more of it and being around powerful and interesting people. In their presence, she finds herself in better control and also fills herself with a remote sense of power.
● Studying the phenomena of time and evolution
As said earlier, Via is a academician with a constant thirst of learning. She also happens to love to observe the evolution of life forms herself and experience it first hand. Also, considering that she controls Time with a click of her fingers, there's an obvious curiosity to learn more about her own powers to gain better control over it.
● Absolute perfection
There is definitely an unfair responsibility that comes with being an only child - and Via grew up with it, grew up knowing that she wasn't allowed to disappoint, she wasn't even allowed to die. There wasn't a replacement toddling around her; she was it. It made her desperate to be flawless, and it also made her drunk with power. In such ways are despots made.
Fears
● Death
It's because all the evidence points to there being nothing after death, just an endless state of nothingness, not even unconsciousness, just nihil. Not even blackness, not even thought, an absence of anything, no heaven, no hell, just an eternity of nothingness, no color, not even darkness, just. Nil. And most rational human beings know that no matter how loudly they pray or claim they believe in the magnificent Sky Fairy it doesn't change the evidence one bit. Or alter the reality, that there is nothing beyond. And people find that hard to deal with. V included.
● Being poor
Trusting few, V has always trusted money. Its the new language that the world readily listens to, it never fails you, it never lets you down. Money is the only thing that draws Via to a job. Well, that and the thrill of the kill. However, she fears the idea of being broke. One can see her on the edge when she's low on money.
● Irrelevancy
As mentioned once before, V hopes to leave her mark in the world, her legacy, something that she'd be remembered by. In other words, she's opposed to being part of the throng, the very typical and it's worth mentioning; obsessively so. To be cast away without her name down in the pages of history would be the sign of an absolute failure in the land of V.

Sky-blue, moderately-curled and reaching an inch or so below her hips, usually tied in loose pig-tails.

Very dependent on the lighting, and can range from pale-red to the darkest shade of crimson.
Skin Tone
Pale with a barely noticeable pinkish tinge.
Appearance
V's eyes are red gems that shift color from a pale red to stark blood - shaped in a near-perfect almond design, like ruby stone melted into snow. Her pencil-thin eyebrows ease down gently to her black, beetle’s-leg eyelashes. Even a sculptor can not fashion her seraph’s ears and pixie’s nose any better. Her face is framed by sweet, sky-blue fringes, that are slightly longer near the ears and seem to hold the delicate structure of her visage in place. It is a lively, intelligent face, on a woman with a full, sensuous mouth. Her hair cascades down to just below her hips, usually untangled in their own natural glory.
Her Amazonian figure sits well on her wafer-thin body. Via has a decanter shaped waist and her complexion holds an impeccable, pinkish hue - unmarred by any abhorrence whatsoever. Her skin runs the gamut from a translucent white to a deep rose, depending on whether she is angry, tired or excited. Someone had once told her, "Honestly, child, sometimes I don't recognize you. You've got all the colors of the wind in you."
Though no longer spoken on Earthland anymore, Via speaks a language used centuries and centuries ago and holds its distinctive accent. She may also slip into that language in certain instinctive statements and most of her inner monologue takes place in this particular language. Just a side-effect of it being the first language that she learnt. (In real life, it's Italian, dun dun~)
Though uninterested in seducing anyone unless it results in personal gain, the woman does tend to wear some revealing clothing - not particularly conservative in any regards. It's generally in shades of white, black and blue, a remnant of memories from her Iceberg years. Her usual outfit for missions is a black, skin-tight top with a deep neck-line, matched with a short-skirt of the same shade and adorned with metal buckles and belts and buttons. A cross between a cape and a long shirt in the purest shade of white, with blue highlights goes along with her attire, used to cover herself up in a layer of modesty when necessary.
