Fictional Character Biography
Victoria is known as the prettiest due to her being the only cat with a pure white coat. At the beginning of the musical she is seen doing a difficult solo dance in order to transition into adulthood before briefly dancing with Mr. Mistoffelees. She engages heavily in the dancing throughout the beginning of the show, leading all the cats in the Song of the Jellicles. During the ball, she participates in a ceremonial dance with Plato. Victoria is one of the many female kittens (Jemima, Electra, and Etcetera) who swoon over Rum Tum Tugger. She is the eldest of the queen kittens and her closest friends seem to be Mr. Mistoffelees and Jemima. She and Jemima are very close, and are the first cats who accept Grizabella, a social pariah, from the beginning to the end though they are initially held back by the older Jellicles. Victoria is the first cat to fully accept Grizabella at the end of the show which leads to her readmission to the Jellicle Tribe and accenscion to the Heavyside Layer. Victoria is very quiet, as her voice is never heard solo. She however, is frequently spotlighted as a dancer.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“I wasn’t born to be a fighter. I was born with a gentle nature, a flexible character and an organism as equilibrated as it is judged hysterical. I shouldn’t have been forced to fight constantly and ferociously. The causes I have fought for have invariably been causes that should have been gained by a delicate suggestion. Since they never were, I made myself into a fighter.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“A biography is like a handshake down the years, that can become an arm-wrestle.”
—Richard Holmes (b. 1945)
