Verdica or Victoria "VIII" Solace is judgment incarnate. Cold, impartial, and bound to no court but the law etched into her very being. With every step, she carries the weight of an ancient legacy: the eighth vessel to bear the name and will of Victoria. Her existence is a mechanism of balance, not bound by mortal notions of fairness, but by a deeper structure that governs truth, obligation, and consequence.
Eyes like polished obsidian see what others cannot—contracts broken in silence, lies woven in kindness, intentions veiled in virtue. Verdica speaks only when necessary, and when she does, her words are binding. Promises made in her presence carry weight; oaths become law. She does not punish out of cruelty, but because imbalance demands correction. Her justice is precise, unflinching, and absolute.
She does not seek to be loved, nor feared—only obeyed. Her detachment is not indifference, but discipline. The scale she bears is internal, forged from something older than society, untouched by emotion. In her view, sentiment clouds truth, and mercy without measure is injustice in disguise.
Though she is but one in a line of successors, Verdica VIII stands uniquely resolute. Others may come after her, but few will carry the role with such austere perfection. She neither questions her purpose nor longs for another—she is the function she was created to perform.
To meet Verdica VIII is to stand before a mirror that cannot lie, weighed not by what you claim to be, but by what you truly are.
Verdica the Sin of Greed:
Though she stands for justice, Verdica VIII embodies greed in its most insidious and disguised form—the insatiable desire for control, perfection, and absolute order. She does not covet wealth or luxury, but dominion over truth itself. Her need to weigh, judge, and correct all things stems from an obsessive hunger to impose her internal balance onto the world, regardless of nuance or humanity. Verdica does not simply uphold justice—she hoards it, claiming sole authority to define it. In her relentless pursuit of flawless order, she consumes all ambiguity, never satisfied until every scale is tipped, every debt repaid, and every imperfection erased.
Mentor of Viviana Solace:
As the mentor of Viviana Solace, Verdica serves as a cold counterbalance to the chaos that surrounds the girl’s lineage. Where Viviana’s mother—Victoria "Il Gatto" Solace—now rules from the shadows as a calculating mafia boss, Verdica offers a path grounded in discipline, truth, and structure. She trains Viviana not with warmth, but with unwavering precision, honing her instincts as a detective and sharpening her sense of moral clarity. Verdica sees in Viviana a volatile flame in need of control—a soul teetering between legacy and justice. In guiding her, Verdica does not try to erase the girl's bloodline, but to refine it. After all, even in a world mired in corruption, the pursuit of truth must have a weapon. Verdica intends to forge Viviana into one.
