- Role:
- Victoria serves as R’ayne Asara’s unwilling pet, bound to her mistress not by affection but by captivity, enduring her presence with cold resentment while remaining a living ornament, and occasional warning.
- Permissions: N/A

- Age: 2
- Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
- Species: Kodashi Viper
- Appearance:
- Victoria is a sleek kodashi viper with emerald-green scales wrapped in vivid red and yellow bands, golden slit-pupiled eyes, and an unnervingly intelligent gaze that makes her seem less like a serpent and more like a living Sith omen.
- Name: Victoria
- Loyalties: R'ayne Asara
- Notable Possessions: N/A
- Personality:
- She possesses a cold, calculating temperament, moving with the patient stillness of a venomous snake and striking with sudden, merciless precision when provoked, or out of boredom.
- Training:
- The kodashi viper possesses no formal training beyond her natural predatory instincts, though R’ayne Asara can mentally manipulate and direct those instincts through the Force, compelling the unwilling viper to perform simple tasks such as stalking, pursuing, or attacking designated targets.
- Combat Function:
- Victoria has no true combat function beyond defending herself and satisfying her natural instinct for survival, though R’ayne Asara can once again manipulate her mind through the Force, compelling the unwilling viper to attack when commanded.
- Force Abilities (Force User Companions Only): N/A
- Extremely Venomous
- Victoria’s bite delivers an extremely potent neurotoxin capable of overwhelming the nervous system and killing its victim within mere minutes.
- Extremely Fast
- She moves with extraordinary speed, her serpentine body capable of sudden bursts of motion while her strikes are faster still, snapping forward with lethal precision before her prey can react.
- Unpredictable
- The kodashi viper, Victoria, is fiercely unpredictable, barely restrained by R’ayne Asara’s mental influence, and liable to strike without warning at anything her instincts perceive as a threat.
- Cowardice
- The viper is a natural coward, preferring to flee into cover and avoid confrontation unless provoked, cornered, or otherwise forced to defend herself.
Victoria came into R’ayne Asara’s possession by accident, discovered coiled within a cargo compartment aboard a transport ship that had recently stopped at Dathomir before arriving at the Mahporeem Imperial Science Station to deliver its supplies.
Rather than allow the venomous stowaway to be killed as a pest or hazard, R’ayne ordered the viper subdued and preserved, apparently intrigued by the creature’s feral nature and usefulness.
Once a proper serpentarium had been constructed within her private office, Victoria was carefully transported there and released into her new enclosure, becoming a unofficial and decidedly unwilling resident of R’ayne’s domain; less a cherished pet than a living specimen claimed by its keeper, whether the viper understood the distinction or not.
