Victoria was best known as the Ronald family's only surviving child. Her upbringing did not indicate anything important. She spent an idyll childhood in Cennix, Vicroy, cloistered in a nursery with her mother and set to marry a man who lived in the neighboring lands. However, political, religious and social circumstances caused the loss of her mother and her home. She went into hiding with her father in Little Deef and soon was running errands for its mother organization, the United Front.


For a few years, it was chancy. Her father, the famed preacher John Ronald, traveled to various locations to speak the Word of God, while the United Front used the distraction to strike at Mother Church. The war was at an impasse until John was captured and Victoria was spirited away. John's beheading at the Ploum Prison in 279 sparked another kind of revolution. His followers initiated total anarchy in Klenard, plundering the barren earth and disregarding the United Front. Next, they turned their ugly eyes on the Klenard King, Edward, and set the kingdom ablaze.


Victoria's plans changed. Sent across the sea to the freed kingdom of Cherls, she married the pirate Black Skull and lived quietly with an old widow, Julia Gloss, while her husband was away. She was depressed and inactive with the United Front until Julia's death. After continuous attacks on her home and the recent developments in Klenard, Victoria decided to rejoin the United Front and assisted the exiled King Robert. With the help of the pirate queen, Annette Sasha, she developed the strength and confidence before being entrusted to lead a battalion of her own.


With this new support, thousands of citizens in Cherls gathered to her banner under the Ronald name alone. With the United Front, they sailed on the offensive and gained one victory after another. Eventually, they helped the United Front gain Klenard. After the 281 assassination of King Edward, his son, Gregory, held the Crown, waiting for the elderly Robert to return.


Throughout the venture, there were doubts about Victoria. It was stated that the young woman would falter somewhere and be the stooge of the last person who spoke to her. Yet, with one success after another, her reputation was seeped in respect. The Holy One was suspicious of Victoria's intentions and soon named her as an enemy of their institution, determined to blacken her name. But what Mother Church did not understand was that Victoria was unwilling to bend.
