Editing Victoria Dallon (section)

==Personality==
===Early [[Worm]]===
Victoria was a hot-tempered and prideful cape,<ref>"I can't do that.  I'm calling your bluff, and if I'm wrong, I'll face the consequences of whatever you say."<br/>"Very principled.  Very self-involved too, that you think the secret and the consequences have to do with you and your overzealous nature.  They don't.  They have to do with her." - [[Agitation 3.12]]</ref> partly as a result of her powers.<ref name="WE1">Glory Girl has demonstrated some anger management problems starting from Interlude 2. She is highly protective of her family. Her inability to be hurt coupled with her aura, which makes people inclined to like her respect her and look up to her has apparently made her somewhat arrogant or proud. Her sister (not related by blood), Panacea seems to have taken on the duties of keeping Victoria's ego in check. - [http://worm.wikia.com/wiki/Victoria_Dallon?oldid=4592 Wiki edit by Wildbow]</ref> She enjoyed fighting and was prone to using excessive force on her enemies.<ref>[[Interlude 2]]</ref> Despite this she believed in being a hero.<ref name=WI>Glory Girl wants to prove herself and be a true heroine, she believes in doing good, but her power is deceptively fragile and she's impulsive. Thrown into an Endbringer city, very aware of the new eyes on her and her performance, well, it doesn't give her great odds, but I wouldn't write her off either. I give her 50-50 odds, and how Glory Girl goes dictates how Panacea goes.  - [https://redd.it/4arfdp  '''Spoilers All''' What If] ([[Wildbow]], Reddit.com, 2016-03-17)</ref>

She was very protective of her family.<ref name="WE1"/><ref>Unfortunately for me, Glory Girl saw it all unfold.<br/><br/>"Nobody fucks with my family!" she shouted, and her power cranked out full-bore. - [[Agitation 3.12]]</ref> She liked to give people the false impression that she was truly invulnerable.<ref>She's not really invincible.  That's just an idea she likes to put in people's heads.  She has a forcefield around her entire body, but it shorts out whenever she takes a good hit, comes back online a few seconds later. - [[Agitation 3.12]]</ref>

She was taking a university course that offered information on parahumans, despite not being done with high school.<ref>"Bullshit," Glory Girl said, "The brainpower you'd need to interpret and decode someone's unique neural patterns would need a head five times the usual size to contain it all.  True psychics can't exist."<br/><br/>"Ooh, someone's taking Parahumans 101 at the university.  Your parents pull some strings, got you into a university course before you were done high school?"<br/><br/>"I think you already know the answer, I'm just not buying that you read my mind to get it." - [[Agitation 3.11]]</ref>
===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
Victoria found Amy after she healed Mark and ran from their house. Victoria attempted to calm Amy down, but worn out Amy, unable to hold back anymore, imprinted love for herself into Victoria's brain, causing Victoria to leave in disgust.

Victoria was among the Protectorate heroes who battled [[Crawler]] and was horrendously injured by Crawler's venom. As a desperate temporary protective measure, her sister transmuted her body into a hard case with a hodgepodge of body parts (multiple arms, legs, and heads), using the flesh of rats, cats, dogs, and whatever else was available. Unfortunately, this stressed [[Panacea]] to the point of breakdown, and she forgot how to put Victoria back together.

Victoria was sent to live in the [[Parahuman Asylum]]. Although at first she sublimated her forced infatuation into anger at the violation, eventually she was reduced to begging to be reunited with Amy,<ref name="I18">[[Interlude 18.z]]</ref> as well as derailing every conversation to her sister at later stages.<ref name="S5.4convo">I’m glad I can communicate with you without you bringing every conversation back to the topic of your sister. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/03/06/shadow-5-4/ Excerpt] from [[Shadow 5.4]]</ref>

She was extremely worried that her family would stop visiting her in the Asylum.<ref name="II1.6"> - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/11/28 Excerpt] from [[Daybreak 1.6]]</ref>

===[[Ward]]===
She had two years after being mutilated by her sister to reexamine how she did things before,<ref>Were it my old self, without the two-year long reality check, I wouldn’t have been able to just stop after being on that verbal offensive.  I would have pressed. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/03/06/shadow-5-4/ Excerpt] from [[Shadow 5.4]]</ref> leading to her changing approach. She struggles with the (ir)reality of her restored body<ref>I floundered for a moment, then said, “I guess, just as an example, I remember taking a shower and having a moment where it really woke me up and I felt grounded in reality again.  There were a few days of painfully cold and hot showers, trying to wake up and stay fixed in the present.”<br/><br/>Sveta reached over to touch my arm.<br/><br/>There had been other moments, too.  Scrubbing myself until my skin broke, among other things.  Too personal and raw to really share. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/05/pitch-6-7/ Excerpt] from [[Pitch 6.7]]</ref><ref>“Just, you know, I should be careful about giving or getting transplants.  There’s a chance it wouldn’t be compatible with humans.  Understand?”<br/><br/>[...] “My maybe-not-one-hundred-percent-human self is going to fight like hell..." - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/19/torch-7-2/ Excerpt] from [[Torch 7.2]]</ref> and had to re-learn day to day life.<ref>“I am, if I’m honest. Do you want to eat somewhere we can warm up and catch up on details, or…”<br/><br/>She stopped.<br/><br/>“Vic?” she asked. She rubbed Victoria’s back with her hand.<br/><br/>No change in the tightness of the hug, no change in breathing, barely a movement.<br/><br/>She looked at Aunt Carol, helpless, not sure what to say or do. Aunt Carol didn’t have anything to offer, her head turned to look at others, and Crystal had no idea if that was on purpose or by happenstance.<br/><br/>“Vic. You okay?”<br/><br/>Victoria broke the hug. Crystal got a better look at her cousin, and saw a hundred-yard stare, gaze averted, fingernails digging into the coat sleeve over forearm. The Victoria she’d seen after Gold Morning, who was still re-learning day to day life.<br/><br/>By herculean measure over a span of a second or two, a rapid-fire set of tiny step-by-steps, Victoria adjusted posture, body language, and reasserted focus, then eye contact. To reassert the facade Victoria of last week, instead, if a more tired one. -[https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/02/dying-15-a/ Excerpt] from [[Dying 15.a]]
</ref> By [[Y1]], she had abandoned her Glory Girl identity, and stated that the identity could stay dead.<ref>“I don’t want to be Glory Girl,” I said.  “Someone remarked yesterday that they’d thought she died and… good.  She can stay dead.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/01/daybreak-1-8/ Excerpt] from [[Daybreak 1.8]]</ref> She has stated that she didn't believe in forgiving and forgetting.<ref name="P.9">[[Glow-worm P.9]]</ref> She is very self conscious.

She was willing to help a self-described supervillain figure out the PHO interface, describing herself as "unfortunately afflicted with desire to help people" and noting that "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar".<ref name="P.3">[[Glow-worm P.3]]</ref>

She was understandably upset when she was rejected from university. She wrote a list of fourteen "unreasonable ... semi-possible" reasons she might have been rejected, although the rational part of her knew that it was likely because there simply were not enough places. She described herself as having "gotten good at effective brooding".<ref name=":0" />

During the [[Ward]] she slowly regains her ability to function as a super-heroine, although at the cost of moral compromises and personal day-to-day happiness.

===Reputation===
The public assumed that she had died after the Slaughterhouse Nine.<ref name="II1.6e2">“You’re Glory Girl,” Landon said.<br/><br/>I’m not, I thought.<br/><br/>“People said you died when the Slaughterhouse Nine attacked Brockton Bay back in twenty-eleven.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/11/28 Excerpt] from [[Daybreak 1.6]]</ref>

With her team she has started to build a new reputation as a problem solver.<ref>[[Interlude 9 II]]</ref>

===Relationships===
====[[Panacea]]====
Initially, Panacea tended to take on the role of keeping her in check.<ref name="WE1"/> They grew up as sisters, and were extremely close as a result.

After a two year period of unnatural obsession with Amy<ref name="I18" /><ref name="S5.4convo"/>, Victoria was strongly inclined to never meet with her again<ref>“Because she didn’t want to get carried away, she wanted to get me as close to normal as she could get me and stop herself there.  Then she said- she’d ask if I wanted more fixes, and I couldn’t talk so I shook my head no.  She asked if I wanted my memories of things erased and I couldn’t let myself have that because there’s nobody left in the world I trust enough to protect me from her, except me.  So I told her no, and I told her never to show her face in front of me again. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/19/torch-7-2/ Excerpt] from [[Torch 7.2]]</ref>, going so far as avoiding Amy's name in her thoughts.

Victoria believes Amy to be one of the scariest people on Earth. She is so traumatized by what Amy did to her, that even seeing [[Presley|someone]] who vaguely reminds her of Amy is enough to send her thoughts spiraling.<ref>[[Shade 4.4]]</ref>

Victoria is so adversarial to Amy now, that when Amy tried to touch her, Victoria responded by attacking her, and almost killing her.<ref>[[Gleaming 9.8]]</ref>

====[[Gallant]]====
While theirs was a sometimes tempestuous romance,<ref name="9.3">“I knew I didn’t have a chance with him.  He was way older, he was rich, handsome.  He was dating Glory Girl, or they were just getting over a breakup, or he was starting to patch things up with her for the millionth time.  There was never a good time to talk to him one on one, unless we were out on patrol together, and I dunno what I would have said if there had been a chance.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/sentinel-9-3/ Excerpt] from [[Sentinel 9.3]]</ref> Victoria believed she might marry him someday. When he died, she described it as "the lowest point in my life" up to that point.<ref>"When I was at the lowest point in my life, when the boy I thought I might marry someday was dead, were you secretly elated?  Were you happy Gallant died?" - [[Interlude 11h]]</ref>

====[[Vista]]====
Got along well with Vista helping each other deal with the aftermath of [[Leviathan|Leviathan']]s attack. Vicky took strength from the fact that the girl was still being a Hero after Gold Morning. They have a fairly close relationship, referring to each other as 'Big V' and 'Little V'.

====[[Crystal]]====
Her cousin by birth and one of her only surviving family members. They chat regularly on [[PHO]], exchanging messages. Crystal goes by user name [[Glitzglam]] there.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">[[Glow-worm P.1]]</ref>

====[[Sveta]]====
Befriended the case 53 while in the [[Asylum]] together.<ref>[[Flare 2.5]]</ref> Was able to convince [[Weld]] to give her friend another chance at getting out home.<ref>[[Shadow 5.4]]</ref>

====[[Undersiders]]====
Despite only encountering [[Tattletale]] once prior to her breakdown, Glory Girl had a strong dislike of her. When Tattletale taunted Amy about her secrets Victoria became angered, threatening to have both Tattletale and Skitter jailed in the Birdcage. During her later confrontation with Tattletale, Glory Girl makes it very clear that she blames her in part for what happened with Amy (though Tattletale does express remorse for her own role). During Ward, the two continue to be antagonistic toward each other, but eventually forge a working relationship with some amount of mutual respect.

Victoria had a very mixed opinion of Skitter; she acknowledges Taylor's heroism but also condemns what she saw as Taylor's needless brutality (in particular her murder of Alexandria). Nevertheless, she was disgusted by what Taylor went through, criticizing [[Madison Clements]] when the latter admitted her role in Taylor gaining powers and her rise as a supervillain, but acknowledges that Madison only owns partial responsibility for Taylor's decisions.<ref name="P.9">[[Glow-worm P.9]]</ref> She did not remember Taylor's involvement in the battle against the Slaughterhouse Nine.

Victoria does not hold strong feelings against [[Foil]] for changing sides,<ref>[[Pitch 6.1]]</ref> but is still wary of [[Bitch|Rachel]].<ref>Rachel Lindt was not my favorite person, but Vista raised a hand in a wave, and Rachel returned it, her expression dour.  I could let this particular sleeping dog lie, if Rachel was willing to do the same. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/04/14/pitch-6-1/ Excerpt] from [[Pitch 6.1]]</ref>

====[[Jessica Yamada]]====
Victoria has a close relationship to her former therapist, meeting with her early on in ward to discuss her future. Jessica later confides in Victoria and asks her for help with several of her patients, giving Victoria a task, and direction at the beginning of Ward.

====[[Damsel of Distress II|Ashley Stillons]]====
After some time they have grown to appreciate each other.

====[[Kenzie Martin]]====
Initially just saw her as a happy kid but started to appreciate how deep and complex her issues actually were.

Once Victoria became aware of why she smiled so much she was able to read Kenzie's body language much better.<ref>I saw the almost-smile become more of a smile.  Because her means of self expression was different, with a smile meaning something totally different, I had to parse eyebrows, eyes, mouth and body language individually and then piece it together to read her.<br/><br/>Worry, guilt?<br/><br/>“What did you do?” I asked.<br/><br/>She froze. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/14 Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.4]]</ref>

====[[Rain O'Fire Frazier]]====
Victoria is frustrated by Rain a lot of the time, but understands and appreciates that he is trying his best, to be his best self.

====[[Anelace]]====
Victoria is attracted to Anelace, but not interested in having a long term relationship with him. This ultimately culminates in them sleeping together. They later start dating.
