| ~ Victoria Best in the WordGirl episode "Cherish is the Word". |
Victoria Best is a supporting antagonist in the 2007 PBS Kids animated series WordGirl.
She was voiced by Kristen Schaal, who also voiced Sugar in Scared Shrekless, and Barb in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
Appearance[]
Victoria wears a grey sweater with her badge on the pocket (a trophy), a pink skirt, a pastel blue blouse and long black socks with matching shoes. She also wears blue ribbons for earrings and a pearl necklace. Victoria has gold-blonde hair with long braided pigtails with two pastel blue scrunchies on each one.
Personality[]
When Victoria is first introduced her personality is fairly simple, to be the best and better than others. But after "Cherish is the Word", Victoria's personality slowly begins to change. She needs more, such as winning bigger awards, being more skilled at things, and triumphing over important people like WordGirl. However, Victoria is not truly evil of her own volition; in her first appearance, "Victoria Best," her parents constantly give her an creepy red glare whenever she loses, possibly manipulating her mind, the real reason why she acts the way she does. Victoria herself is shown disliking when her parents do this. They do it again to her in "Crime in the Key of V"; however, this time to make her do anything as long as she gets the key.
What other characters or WordGirl fans never see, is that Victoria's parents possess a conditional relationship with their children, and had imbued them with a "win no matter what" mindset; they have likely done this to her for so long that it has simply grown into a bad habit, and the truth behind the reason she steals awards she did not win.
Biography[]
Victoria Best is a student who attends Woodview Elementary School, along with WordGirl's alter ego, Becky Botsford. She is a child prodigy who comes from a family remarkably similar to WordGirl's own. She is egocentric and conceited, considering herself to be the best at everything. Indeed, she excels in many areas, from gymnastics and football to dancing in the dark. She originally went to a private school but came to Woodview so she could beat out more kids.
Her parents have always pushed her into being the best at everything she did, and when she is not, they display red, glowing eyes and tell her "eyes on the prize, Victoria". With this, she then steals the prize she did not win, using telekinesis projected through her eyes.
In her eponymous debut episode, she receives several awards, with the exception of the Best Reader's trophy, which went to Becky. Empowered by her parents' mantra, she stole the trophy and a number of other awards. She is later defeated by WordGirl, and is forced to return all the prizes that she stole.
Powers and Abilities[]
Her skill with her recorder is such that her playing can hypnotize those that are around her listening.
