⌈ JODIE COMER , 30 , CIS WOMAN , FIRE MANIPULATION ⌋  oh , have you heard about VICTORIA HARRIS ? they showed up at the academy 14 DAYS ago all the way from LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND ? i got the impression that SHE is TEMPERMENTAL & OBSESSIVE , but they might be DRIVEN & CHARMING for all we know . they remind me of the sound of heels against tile as you pace back and forth , the defeaning murmurs from the back of an old crumbling bar , going to war with an aim but no strategy & lipstick marks on the butt of a cigarette , but maybe all this chaos will change that . i can’t wait to see how this pans out !

Victoria Harris was born on the twelfth hour of the first day of October, 1989. This would have been an entirely normal occurrence had her mother been pregnant before the day of her birth. Working through college, Norah Harris had no time for a child and no care for one either, but who else was she supposed to turn to? She had heard of a man buying children, and she didn`t want her baby (strange or not) falling into his seemingly dodgy paws. And so she kept her.

Growing up, Victoria`s life was an ever-constant struggle of trying to maintain normality - being forced into sports and after-school activities to try to make friends, working part-time jobs to help make ends meet, sitting exams that made her head hurt.  Sometimes, there was the odd blip (an overdue book bursting into flames, for example, or the singeing of a rival`s hair), but nobody tended to bat an eyelid. It was Liverpool, after all, and stranger things had happened. 

Norah passed when Victoria hit 19, and with her mother gone, all other assets were too. They hadn`t owned their house in the first place, and with her mother`s income no longer keeping them afloat? The pyromaniac had to couch surf her way through University, where she worked her butt off to get the position that she wanted; A secondary school humanities teacher. She had never felt different at school, everyone had always been their own version of strange, and the feeling of fitting in was euphoric enough for the young woman to never want to leave - and she never would have, had it not been for one Lila Pitts.
