More Victoria art! God I can't get enough of art for her XD Anyway this time we see her in a more sad/somber mood. Why? Well like most of us it's a number of things, from our professional lives to our personal lives, the stresses and trials can wear a person down. This girl has been though some rough stuff in her time and once in a while her poised demeanor will recede into one of exhaustion and sadness.

In her younger days she actually used to be quite heavyset. Weight and self-esteem was always an issue for her and was often teased and even in some cases bullied for her size. There's also been at least two instances where she was publicly humiliated by particularly nasty souls. Her white hair was also a source of teasing and bullying. Often times she was reffed to as "fat old bag" or "it's the senior". When she turned 18, she left home to try and make a life for herself and make changes for the better. By and large it worked very well! She lost weight and at 21 even got herself into a fine arts university. Once she finished that she landed a job as a hostess/tour guide at a fine arts museum and even does modeling on the side (she's in her mid 20's at this point). She has also matured into a fine young woman of poise, discipline and class.

But as the saying goes, "Old habits die hard" and sometimes her insecurities get the better of her. When she see's herself in the mirror, she still sees the fat and low confidence version of herself and remembers the suffering she went through. Most days she can get by it, but some days she can't and it gets to her. Sometimes bad. Other times when there are those who flirt with her or try to date her, she is either stood up or taken advantage of.

Now here in this image she had just come off of a particularly hard day at work and a nasty date who turned out to be one of her old bullies. She's decided to take some solace in a bar to try and relax. She looks sad yes, but on the inside is a young girl who's struggling to not completely break down. For all the hard work she's put in to get where she is now, sometimes it can seem for naught and she'll never be better than before. For as strong as she tries to be, she has her moments of weakness. And due to having suppressed it those moments come hard.

I haven't had much in terms of backstory for Vic up until this point so I figured why not share some now. She was long past due for some exposition.

Anyway! This gorgeous art was done by the very skilled one and only delta141 and I am so happy I got art of Vic from them!
