Personality: Victoria is thoughtful, sweet and kind in nature. She has a graceful air about her down to the way she wears her hair and how she dresses. She adores the company of animals and flowers more so than people. She is a loyal and trustworthy companion to any friend. She is quite a lonely girl, some would say empty having lost her father and brother whom she idolised. She is however, deeply passionate as a person to her nearest and dearest, not afraid of expressing her feelings and thoughts. She stands up for what she believes in and what she thinks is right. She has an inquisitive nature and a mind of her own. She loves learning new things and being taught different cultures and ideals. She questions everything to gain on as much knowledge as she can.
She longs for adventure and romance just as she reads in many tales, often having her head stuck in a book, she also has a wild imagination. She is a pacifist and doesn’t like the idea of war, and taking up arms. She also has a strong spiritual side, believing in fate and soul mates, her religion is Faith of the Seven. Another trait one would notice once you got to know her more is that she can be playful and mischievous when she isn’t in her grief.

Skills
Horse-riding: She has such an affinity for all animals but in particular dogs and horses. She loves tending to their needs on her family's lands even though the family have servants, she prefers to look after the horses personally. She gives them their daily brushing, feed and rides them as far as she can take them. Her own personal horse is an all white horse named Snowflake.
Music: She sings with a light and airy harmonic voice. She plays the harp, taking a small one wherever she goes. And she just loves dancing, she has natural rhythm. She often sings to keep herself company. She is only confident in her singing to animals and children for they do not judge her. Lately though, she sings more sad songs in her loneliness.
Astronomy: If she isn’t reading about chivalry and knights in shining armour you can find her reading up on the constellations or star gazing. Her father used to sit with her and teach her all about the stars and planets when she was a child. She never gave up the passion and can point out and name whatever she finds in the sky but she tends to do this alone now.
Floristry: Victoria loves to be outside whenever she can and tend to the flowers that grow. She hasn't yet made anything to sell as they aren't merchants. She'd like to learn some Alchemy from a Maester too. She is always seen wearing some type of flower in her hair. Her favourite flower is the white rose.
Weaknesses
Sensitivity: Extremely emotional having dealt with loss can make her rather clingy to new friendships and family members, afraid of losing more people she cares about. If she loses anyone else that is close she may have a nervous breakdown. She can cry over small things, such as a random baby animal dying. Her feelings are very easily hurt so she can shy away/put up a wall and is quick to stubbornness.
Self-image: She is afraid of what others may think about her. She is very pretty although does not think much of it as she is modest. This can make her shy, especially around males she may find most suitable, thinking she may not be quite good enough.
Naivety: She can be gullible and naïve in the real world due to being so out of touch with society sometimes. She takes people's words as they are, seeing no reason for why people should lie about things. She frowns upon dishonesty greatly. She tends to view the world through rose tinted glasses, trying to find the goodness in people's hearts. She is an idealist rather than a realist; hoping that she too would marry for love, just as her parents did, not to be forced into one. Seeing how in love her parents were at a young age she kept dreaming and hoping that for herself throughout her teen years, her Uncle Draegar adhering to her wishes on this due to him feeling to blame for her father's death so was always trying to make it up to her.
Trouble-magnet: Wherever Victoria goes she tends to get noticed, unintentionally or not, and sometimes manages to cause a stir. She will stand up to thuggish brutes, thieves or liars and her mouth often lands her in trouble with the more ill-willed civilians. She tends to rely on the protection of her family's name to stop her coming from harm but if she is on her own at least she has her faithful guard dog.
History:
House Summary: House Reiviv is around 300 years old, supported the Targaryens, and colonised an island off the coast of Crownlands during Targaryen reign. They are a highly secretive house since the Baratheons took over rule, keeping to themselves on their island. They swear fealty to the Lannisters but only pretend to support Baratheons as they don't believe they are the true rulers of the land. The leader of House Reiviv is Draegar Reiviv. House Reiviv await the arrival of a new Targaryen.
The House of Ulrock is a sub house of the Reivivs. Having the two families unite in marriage between Draegar's sister Alysinna and Rhonan, Alysinna taking back the House name when Rhonan died. The two actually married for love and not arrangement, giving birth to a son and a daughter. They named their first born James and their second born Victoria Louise. James and Victoria were their pride and joy, born 8 years apart. She gets her dark hair from her father Rhonan, her mother is blonde but Victoria still looks like a spitting image of her in facial feature.
Victoria grew up being very close to her brother, because James took it upon himself to look after his little sister closely especially after their father died in the Battle of the Trident, and she idolised him for that. As she also adored her father who taught her a lot of things about the world before his death. The awful news came soon to her upon Draegar's return when her hopeful eyes scouted their army for sign of Rhonan's return only to be told his fate. Luckily Draegar managed to get back his sword and bestowed it upon his niece who then on become his ward and as a daughter to him for he felt part responsible for her father's death. Her only mementos of Rhonan being his sword and necklace she wore every day then on. Due to this her political views are actually in contrast to House Reiviv in that she blames the Targaryens as well as the Baratheons for her father's death. Victoria doesn’t care who owns the throne as long as there is peace among the lands and no more bloodshed. She bears no ill will against the Lannisters however.
After her father's death, she was always seen clung to her mother's side, learning how to become a proper lady. She tried to make her mother proud and happy by playing the harp and singing her songs. She learned many things about animals and flowers from her and frequently attended the family's farms to help out with the animals and plants. When she was not with her mother she was always following big brother around and eager to learn from him. As she got older into her teens she began to patroness and fund the local orphanage, having experienced the loss of a parent, she wanted to help the children who had lost theirs. She visited them occasionally, playing happy songs with them and taught them about the flowers, animals and stars.
Tragedy struck her again at the age of 20 with the death of her brother (aged 28). She fell apart and for days she did not speak nor leave her room. She was devastated and broke after having lost her father so young and then her brother, was all too much for her. She hasn’t been the same since, she used to be cheery and her smile could light up a room but nowadays she rarely smiles.
Victoria was also close with her cousins growing up. More so now after the death of James. And after this she decided to go by the last name Reiviv, bearing the name Ulrock was simply too painful. Now Victoria looks to her male cousins more as brothers. She has a slight rivalry with Draegar's daughter as she feels more outspoken by the first female in direct line to the House seat. But she has no intention of ever becoming the head of the family. Catherine sees Victoria as a sisterly rival since Draegar took it upon himself to be her father after Rhonan died, the two growing up as a sibling rivalry in who is the most beautiful Reiviv daughter. That is in debate but Victoria could certainly be considered as the cleverest, which Catherine is jealous of. They do not fight too much, as Victoria let Catherine have any boy whom she wanted, and the two have different interests that mean they do not spend that much time together, they only fight over the attention of their brother Charles, the heir of the Reiviv.
She keeps the company of her faithful companion Jasper; her best friend and protector - a well trained red border collie dog. The dog was a gift by her Uncle to go with her everywhere for protection now that James could not be there for her and over the past year Jasper has bonded with her and ultimately saved her life from falling into the utter shadows of grief. Lately, her Uncle has started to look into finding her a suitor to marry now she is of age 21, he grows tired of waiting for her to find “the one”. If there is no suitor to be found she will be arranged to marry her adopted cousin Marius. And herein begins her tale of escaping her fate...
RP Sample:
A frosty wind lingered in the air. Dull grey clouds shrouded the sun on that dismal day. It were as if the gods knew of the tragedy about to befall House Reiviv again with another member being taken from them. That was the day that her brother had finally given up the fight against death. And when Victoria had lost part of her.
On James's deathbed; Victoria clung onto her brother's arm faithfully, never once leaving his side. She adored him too much to let him out of her sight. “Death...is only the beginning Sister...” He spoke frailly as she leaned in closer to listen intently. Her eyes widen slightly to his words to which he continues, “Remember...that.” He told her with eyes peering into her own blue pearls. She nodded slowly with water forming at the creases of her lower eyelids. “I join...Father...he'll be so...pleased to see...how much you've grown...”
Victoria smiles weakly as she strokes a few strands of hair away from his face. “Don’t say things like that, you're going to make it through this..you're the strongest person I know!” James smiles back up at her with loving care. She was the last one he said his goodbyes to after the first being his wife and child.
“Look after..Venus..and Summer...” James splutters as his face grows paler by the minute. Victoria shakes her head slightly in disbelief. She didn't want him to give up, she did not want to lose hope. But she felt him slipping away second by second. She felt herself losing grip of his hand as he relaxes his muscles more.
“No. I wont look after them. Because you are going to again when you get better.” She told him with a forced chuckle escaping her breath, trying not to cry in front of him. Deep down she knew that this was the end. A few silent moments passed by as she listened to his breaths become shorter and shorter. And then...nothing.
“Say hello to Father for me, dear Brother. And that I miss him so..” She sobbed her words softly before leaning over his lifeless body to lean her head against his chest as she cried into him. On that day she lost her best friend and brother.
And there in for several weeks she never smiled. All her mother wanted now was to see her smile again. “I would give anything to have someone make her smile again..someone who can love her pain away.” Were a sad Alysinna's words to her hardened faced brother Draegar. “She should not endure so much pain for she has done naught to warrant such unhappiness...” Alysinna sighs as her eyes gaze the amber wooden flooring of Draegar's residence. “I worry for her so, Brother. She is all I have left now, I could not bear losing her too. I urge you to protect her with your very life.”

Any plans in mind for the character? To see her smile again! Form meaningful companionships with other player characters and find her a soul mate. A good match for Victoria would be Maester Daern from looking over the character profiles but we shall see. ^^ (Dont want to be presumptuous) Quite like to affiliate more with the House Arryn. And uhh...be adopted into a family :P May have to resort to flower selling when ran away as she'd be poor.

I'm afraid in Westeros the convention limits one to just a given name & House name. Hyphenated names do not exist in Westeros. She would simple be "Victoria Ulrock" 
Sorry it took a while, been a busy week.
