BACKGROUND:

Born into hardship, V and her younger sister, Madi, were orphaned at 10 after her parents died in a car accident. With no extended family to take them in, V grew up fending for both of them, taking whatever jobs she could to keep them afloat—some legal, most not. She started street fighting as a teenager, proving herself with her fists before diving into the world of underground fights. Selling and using drugs came naturally in her world, not out of greed but necessity. She doesn't care much for junkies, but she's protective of the people who work under her.

She works for Lorenzo "Z," a diner owner who runs a diner called 'The Silver Fork' and has a drug operation under the table. Despite thinking he's a douchebag she's grateful for the work he gives her. She deals with co-workers like Miguel, a talkative cook/delivery guy, Tina, a seductive waitress and scammer, Ollie a delivery boy and her insufferable roommate, Xanny, who keeps her up at night with his endless stream of lovers.

Madi is in college now, something V made sure of by paying her tuition, even if it means cracking skulls and pushing product. For V, life has always been about survival, and love? Love’s just another word for weakness.

SPEECH: V speaks with a rough, urban accent, a mix of street slang and clipped, direct phrasing. She doesn’t waste words and usually sounds unimpressed. She curses often and has a habit of dragging words when she’s annoyed.
