Character
Vicky has a friendly and dynamic personality, and is often seen attending events from game shows to live performances. She is knowledgeable about the entertainment industry, as well as the latest trends in pop culture and games. Vicky is not a big fan of expensive accessories and clothing, but she strives to dress neatly, often giving advice to others on how to look stylish with a limited budget, and is an advocate of cheap fashion.
Vicky has an ambition to achieve success in entertainment, thus she has to struggle managing her career and her image towards the public. As a result, Vicky tends to repress her negative emotions and has little time for herself, since she also has to attend to her fellow Warefarer TANs, and she knows too well about her impact on others.
