Viktoria Shepard

Viktoria Shepard is a red mage.

She is young, in her late teens, and attractive. She is athletic and intelligent. She is about 5'8" and athletic build. She has blonde hair, blue eyes and tanned skin.

Viktoria tries to keep her disposition positive, but is sometimes seen brooding in private or staring off in the distance. To those who pay attention she is obviously troubled, but doesn't talk about her past. Rush (see below) in particular has noticed this but so far has not tried too hard to coax the truth out of her. However, her true warmth does shine thru when she is dealing with children. All the children in the cell seem to really like the moody red mage.

Viktoria grew up in the city of Vector and spent most her life there. It was in Vector that she received her mage training. Recently she got in trouble with the law and landed herself in jail. While she was being transported in a prison train she managed to escape. During the escape she also managed to free the captured Returners that were with her, including Rush Kohl. Rush has been working with the Returners for quite some time now. And although he is getting old he still is important to the Returners.

With nowhere to go, Rush invited Viktoria to join him at the local Returner cell. Rush quickly grew fond of Viktoria, but in a grandfatherly way. In fact he is old enough to be her grandfather. Between her skills and Rush's guidance, Viktoria has quickly become an important member of their cell. So much so that she was chosen to represent them at a meeting in South Figaro with Raric.
