The heroine of the story. Victorica (popularly known as Victorique) de Blois (ヴィクトリカ・ド・ブロワ Vikutorika do Burowa) is a young girl who stays atop the library tower of Saint Marguerite Academy. She is voiced by Chiwa Saitou in the Drama CD, and by Aoi Yuuki in the anime series.
Appearance
Victorica has the appearance of a small, almost doll-like, girl with long hair and emerald eyes. However, she possesses a voice (and articulation in speaking) that makes her sound exactly like a matured woman. Another important part of Victorica's appearance is a pipe that she usually smokes when thinking about something.
Personality
Along with her sharp tongue, abusive bluntness and eccentric attitude, she possesses amazing detective skills. This, however, do not interfere with the fact that she can also possess a personality of a typical girl of her age: childish, overly curious and fond of sweets.
Background
Victorica is born of a man of the aristocratic Blois family and a mistress. Because of her status as the illegitimate daughter of the Blois family and due to behavior different from other children, she was raised cut off from the world in the depths of the de Blois mansion.
She was then sent off to school under strict orders to never leave the campus, with only direct orders from either the Duke of Sauville or any member of the Blois family as her only tickets to the outside world.
Plot
Kazuya soon finds himself getting dragged into many crime investigations after a near-arrest that Victorique saved him from. When she first met Kazuya, she didn't like him and thought that he was annoying and stupid for climbing up all the stairs in the library, even going as far as ignoring him or making fun of him, but gradually she warmed up to him and began to trust and cherish him.
Trivia
- Due to ethical issues in portraying young-looking characters which practice smoking, Victorica is instead portrayed in the anime series as using her pipe as a mannerism.
- She has taken a liking for sweets.
