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.

“Pity the man who has a character to support—it is worse than a large family—he is silent poor indeed.”
