Victoria The Human McGuffin ? Yes, absolutly.
I hate the writing of women in Absolution for a reason (either sexualized, and to be killed (Diana, the “nuns”, Layla, even in the background with the way too gleefully added “Hawaii”) or innocents, and to be used and victimized (Victoria, the actual nuns)).
It’s foul, and better buried.
But, Victoria retooled ?
As a surrogate daughter/apprentice ?
In the World of Assassination where found family is a recurrent motif ? Yes
I have made my potential ideal retool known a while back.
