~ Victoria first meeting the Cullens. |
Victoria is the secondary antagonist of the Twilight series. She is a sadistic female vampire who is the mate of James and the master of Laurent.
She was portrayed by Rachelle Lefevre in Twilight and New Moon, and by Bryce Dallas Howard, who also played Hilly Holbrook in The Help, in Eclipse.
History[]
Victoria was the mate of James and a nomadic member of his coven along with Laurent.
After James was killed by Edward Cullen and his family, Victoria swore revenge against the Cullens by attempting to kill Edward's mate Bella Swan.
In New Moon, she sends Laurent to track down Bella and the Cullens, so that she can kill them. However, he decides to do the job himself, only to be killed by the wolves. Later, she is tracked down by werewolves and Charlie and ends up causing Harry to have a heart attack.
In Eclipse, she forms a pack of newborn vampires to go after Bella, knowing that they will be virtually unstoppable. She manipulates Riley Biers into helping her and being the front man of the operation, while she orchestrates from behind the scenes. During the battle, she and Riley attack Bella and Edward on the mountain, only for Riley to be killed by Seth. Victoria attempts to flee until Edward tricks her into staying and fighting by badmouthing James. The two of them fight until Edward manages to decapitate her and burn her body.
In Breaking Dawn, she only appears in the cast end credits. They show both actresses that played her.
Powers and Abilities[]
As a vampire, Victoria had all of the traditional physical enhancements, such as superhuman strength, speed and agility and enhanced senses, as well as diamond-hard skin which sparkles when it hits the sun. Some vampires develop additional supernatural powers and Victoria was one of them:
- Enhanced Self-Preservation: her natural survival instincts have been magnified in a supernatural way. When faced with danger, she is instinctively guided towards safety (or dodge attacks) as though she had a guardian angel protecting her. Through this gift, she managed to evade both the Quileute wolves and the Cullens, and had remained unscathed for many years. However, she can, with strong willpower, fight off her urge to protect herself, which is what lead to her death.
