x x

NICKNAME : V, Tori
ALIAS : N/A
AGE : 28
BIRTHDATE : March 3, 1950
APPEARANCE : Though Vittoria may not be considered to be 'classically' beautiful, there is something unmistakably attractive about the woman. She stands a modest 5'6" and has a slim figure with what she considers 'just the right amount of curves'. Her Italian blood shines through with her Mediterranean olive skin-tone, and her wide hazel eyes - which tend to change between brown, green and sometimes a yellow-ish color. When she's angry they go an almost frightening yellow color, accentuating the fire in her eyes when she glares at you. It's a pretty scary sight to behold though it's rare that she ever gets pushed to that point.

She has long dark brown hair that rests about mid back. She's often wears her hair loose in large curls, though sometimes you'll find it twisted up in a bun. Her smiles holds an intriguing sort of mystery to it and she has a way of looking at people that leaves no question to where they stand with her. She has a very angular facial structure - like most of her family, and it's hard to deny (even if she wished to) that she is a Mannino. She thinks her nose is a tad off center, and most of the time dislikes it. Her make-up, while always impeccable, is applied lightly, though there's enough to enhance her looks.
ATTIRE : Appearance wise, Vittoria is never seen without a stylish outfit. Her outfits tend to have a sexy sophistication look to them, fitted jackets, slim fitting pants…a bit of cleavage here and maybe a little leg there. She likes to feel like a woman, but a powerful one…she also enjoys the attention she gets, which only seems to add to her wardrobe choices.

AFFILIATION : Mannino Family
OCCUPATION : She doesn't have to work, she has her family's money to fall back upon, though she is starting to become interested in the business.
EQUIPMENT : Vittoria always has her fairly large purse with her. Inside the normal 'female' things can be found - make-up, a small bottle of her favorite perfume, car keys, wallet etc etc. Also inside is an automatic .22 Caliber Colt Targetsman that her Daddy gave her for her 27th Birthday.
PERSONALITY : In the business her family is in, confidence is a key to survival and Vittoria has that and more…almost to the point of cockiness. She knows that she’s attractive, that she’s powerful and that it would take a hell of a lot to take her down and because of that, Vittoria is pushy, full of herself and she’s definitely a bitch. Though in her defense, she lives by the idea that there's no point in being someone you’re not. She is who she is, and if people don’t like it, she basically thinkgs that they need to get out of her face. That reason could be why she finds it hard to make and keep friends..especially of the female variety. Oh, she has no problems around men…actually finding that she’s much more comfortable around them than women. Women seem to be intimidated by her and to Vittoria, that is the ultimate disappointment.

She’s not all bad, of course and she does have her soft moments (they’re just very few and far between). She takes a very keen interest in artists and singers - and has even takes a few of them under her wing, so to speak. When she sees a certain something in a person (that she likes), she’s been known to support them so to speak. Of course, nothing she does comes without a price and well if they're not willing to pay, they don't deserve her time.

Relationship wise, she is almost like a man. At this point in her life, she says she has no time for men…Well, aside from the physical aspect of them anyway. It’s another sense of power that she enjoys, taking over a man and then sending him on his way without another word. She’s been called a man-eater more than once and it’s a title that she’s strangely proud of. To her, a man is good for two things: sex and arm candy when she needs to appear in public.. Beyond that, she has no use for them.
SKILLS : Vittoria has been a skilled manipulator since she was old enough to walk and talk. She's pretty good at getting people to do what she wants, and if she can't she's not above using her family name to get her way. She's pretty efficent with her gun, after all, her father made sure she knew how to use it so she wouldn't end up shooting herself. She's also a master of the ever popular 'bitch-slap', honestly she could put a pimp to shame with her skills there. Lastly, she's highly skilled with spending money. She's the type who when they see something they like, they immediately buy it.
STRENGTHS : Manipulative, intelligent, conniving, wealthy. All the ingredients for a girl who has to get what she wants, and has the means to do it. In her book, all those are strengths and she'd like someone to try to tell her otherwise. She's extremely loyal to her family and has no problem putting people in their place if they find it necessary to talk bad about any of them. She's finds it easy to converse with people she deems important, and those she doesn't? Well her sarcastic remarks have been known to cause a bit of mental anguish. She's able to resist peer pressure, after all Vittoria likes doing things her way and no one elses.
WEAKNESSES : Vittoria has never been one to take kindly to any sort of critisim. In fact, she's likely to explode quite violently if it happens. She's extremely spoiled and has been her entire life. She's use to getting her way and heaven help those around her if she doesn't. Sweets are something she can't turn down. She tries to limit how much she eats in a day - after all wouldn't want to ruin her figure, but one can normally find some sort of candy in her purse. Shoes, Vittoria cannot pass by a shoe store without going in and buying a pair or two. She has a large closet in her room designated for only her shoes, and she's actually close to running out of space.
RESIDENCE : You know that house that people drive past merely to admire the architecture, the general size, the private jetty with a yacht that is permanently anchored out in its ‘backyard’? That’s the Mannino Family compound. Elegance, Luxury and Comfort simply describe this beautiful private Home. With a bubbling hot tub with waterfalls, this custom built and custom designed home has all the amenities one could ever need and desire. Granite, cherry wood, marble and a black wedge wood-floating staircase all highlight the interior.
