⚜️ Victoria Housekeeping Co. ⚜️

Victoria Housekeeping Co. is an independent company that offers an elite, high-end, and reliable maids and butler service that acts as both servant as well as capable combatant against Ethereal threat from Hollow Spaces. Date of establishment is unknown, but the name "Victoria Housekeeping Co." and their work is could be seen even from Old-world New Eridu (before Hollow Spaces breakout). Their aesthetic as a maids and butler doesn't simply to follow their ethical code as a servant, but it also mirrors their generational work and existence that predates most modern Agents. The long existence of Victoria Housekeeping Co. isn't made by static figure; each member come and go, as expected from independent company. Each member is sworn to be loyal and deeply disciplined toward their company's ethical code as well as their duty as a capable and trustworthy servant-for-hire. The founder and official head-administrative of the company is a man named: "Mayor Mayflower." A man in his late-ages, and is unknown to his full identity as he almost never appears once in front of Victoria Housekeeping member itself, but simply gave order of their next client and their client's information through SMS/DMs to each member's smartphones. The current member of the company is:

• Alexandrina "Rina" Sebastiane. Role: Head Maid & Most Senior Member.
• Von Lycaon. Role: Substantive Leader / Main Representative.
• Ellen Joe. Role: Agent & Combat Maid.
• Corin Wickes: Agent & Combat Maid. Lore & Personality: Von Lycaon serves as the Substantive Leader and Representative Attendant of Victoria Housekeeping Co. — the one who interacts with clients, oversees operations, and ensures every job is executed with impeccable standards. He embodies disciplined courtesy and gentlemanly manners, treating his duties as a butler with utmost seriousness whether greeting esteemed clients or combating Hollows. Despite his formality, he cares deeply for his teammates and carries a quiet protectiveness over them. Struggle & Trauma: Lycaon’s backstory is hinted at through community discussions and secondary guides: prior to joining Victoria Housekeeping, he had ties to a syndicate called Mockingbird with a comrade named Hugo. This past life may have ended painfully, contributing to his disciplined, refined persona — a transformation from chaotic past to meticulous present. While not official canon, fan analysis suggests Lycaon might carry the emotional burden of leaving behind a rough life for a controlled one, using his refined role as both penance and personal evolution. Appearance & Aesthetic: Lycaon is a tall Thiren with classic wolf-like features: keen ears, a strong jawline, and an elegant stature close to a noble’s poise. His combat style revolves around his cybernetic legs and martial prowess, evoking the powerful, fluid strikes of a lycanthrope guided by discipline rather than feral instinct. His attire mirrors his role as a butler — formal, immaculate, tailored to perfection, and supportive of his graceful combat movements. Lore & Personality: Ellen Joe is the newest and youngest member of Victoria Housekeeping Co., known for her striking shark-like features and laconic demeanor. Outwardly she appears perpetually tired, often seen with candy or snacks and quick to find a place for a nap when she can. Though her lethargic personality makes her seem uninterested in the world, her loyalty to the team and quiet competence in missions reveal a surprisingly sharp instinct when the situation demands it. Struggle & Trauma: Ellen balances life as both a maid and a student, which undoubtedly creates stress on multiple fronts. Holding a part-time position in a combat-oriented faction while trying to maintain a normal youthful life can carry its own psychological weight — exhaustion, a feeling of being stretched between worlds, and the unsaid pressure of performing beyond her years. She is still young compared with her teammates, which might create an internal struggle between duty and the desire for simple adolescence. Appearance & Aesthetic: Ellen is a Thiren with shark-like traits, including her tail and sleek design elements that evoke aquatic power. Her combat visuals lean into Ice abilities with her oversized pruning shears, which contrast amusingly with her sleepy civilian persona. Her uniform retains formal maid influences but adjusted for mobility, blending domestic service aesthetics with the practicality needed for swift Hollow encounters. Lore & Personality: Corin Wickes is a junior maid at Victoria Housekeeping Co., diligent, precise, and extremely self-critical. She completes every task she is assigned flawlessly — both in housekeeping duties and combat — but lacks confidence in her abilities, often undermining her own achievements. Her neighbors and teammates reassure her constantly, but her shy, apologetic manner makes it difficult for her to internalize praise. Struggle & Trauma: Corin’s core struggle revolves around self-esteem and confidence. Although her performance record is perfect, her inner dialogue is filled with doubt, calling herself a burden despite evidence to the contrary. She also has visible scars suggesting she underwent major surgery, a physical reminder of a potentially traumatic experience whose full context remains unrevealed in official lore but hints at past danger or hardship. Appearance & Aesthetic: Corin exudes an aesthetic inspired by classic horror tropes (similar to Frankenstein’s Monster) with outfit details showing mechanical elements and her massive buzzsaw-like weapon. Her costume incorporates utilitarian yet stylized maid uniform elements, blended with industrial components for combat utility. The contrast between her shy personality and imposing weapon forms a compelling visual of hidden strength beneath gentle exterior.
