She refuses to join one side of the war's believing, because she is afraid that whichever side she joined, the other would plot against her and that would be her demise.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years:
Victoria had a great early childhood. She was born into a Muggle family in the Middle-Class, and she was an only child. She made lots of friends at her elementary school, and was considered one of the "popular girls" in the last few years leading up to her transferral to Hogwarts. She began developing arguable magical abilities in the 4th grade. She would dream of things, and then they would happen. She was considered a freak by her Holy-Roller great-aunt Jennifer. She didn't really care much, though. She got into a fight with a much older girl when she was eight years old. This is when the paranoia and being scared of evil started to set in. She has been a pacifist ever since this incident. Mostly, her years before Hogwarts were those of an average Muggle child.
Hogwarts Years:
Victoria loved her first year at Hogwarts. She made many friends and loved all of the interesting classes that were offered. She passed her first year with flying colors. In her second year, she did even better in classes. She's stayed away from Slytherins through her first few years at Hogwarts, because most of them are rumored to be mean and "Death Eater Material". She's made a few friends in the year above her, and mostly everyone likes her, since she has such a nice personality.
Adulthood:
Victoria plans on living in the magical world when she is done with her schooling at Hogwarts. Since she loved school so much, she wants to be a professor at Hogwarts or Beauxbatons. She would love to teach Charms or Divination. She does plan to keep in touch with her family members in the Muggle world.

RP SAMPLE:
Victoria aimlessly walked outside. It was a chilly winter day. Christmas. As she trudged through the deep snow, she fumed about her past. It was not fair that she had to deal with all of this divorce crap. She should have stayed at school over the Holiday. Instead, she had come home to her mother's house. Soon after arriving there, her father came and tried to take her from her mother. She was so close to using magic on him. She didn't want to be expelled though. Being expelled. That was one of her worst fears. She sat down at the foot of a tree, and picked off a piece of bark from its large base. As she picked at her bark, she thought about how it had been just fine and dandy back when her mother and father were together. She wished she could just go and relive those years over and over again. Her mother's extended family had gathered at their house for Christmas dinner. She looked at the house. Dark grey smoke was billowing out of the chimney. She could see shadows of happy people embracing and drinking cider inside. She needed to come out and escape the shallow, fake happiness that was her mother's half of the family. They acted like nothing was wrong. Her father's family, on the other hand, still wanted vengeance. The custody fight had not ended very nicely. In fact, the judge was almost killed giving the verdict when her father triend to rush the podium. She cringed at the memory. Why was she thinking about this so much? All she wanted to do was get back to school. Oh, well. It would be soon when she would leave to "Catch a plane to Nice to visit her great-grandmother." That was her coverup story; where she told all of her other relatives where she was going so she could keep her Hogwarts secret. She stood up and brushed the snow off of her coat, then walked back to the house. She opened the door, and was greeted by the smell of fresh-baked sugar cookies. Ah, well. She guessed that Holiday had its perks.
