Full Name: Victoria Linell Gibson
Nick Names: Vicky
Student or Staff: Student
Age: 14 years old
Ethnicity: American
Gender: Female
Physical Description: Victoria is someone who invests a lot of time in how she presents herself. She is a natural beauty, with clear skin and a petite figure. She watches what she eats, and is a classically good dresser. Her brown hair is almost always worn loose, though when she’s showing or working in the barn, she wears it back in a neat braid.
Victoria is always very conscious of how she looks. Since she spends much of her time around horses, Victoria is usually seen in immaculate beige breeches and a crisp polo shirt. Outside of the barn, she wears tailored jackets with neatly pressed slacks or a fitted skirt.
Personality: Victoria is a studious and driven young woman. She is highly competitive and takes losing very badly. She doesn’t make many friends, and much prefers to throw herself into schoolwork and competing rather than wasting her time socialising.
Victoria finds it difficult to make a healthy balance in her life. For such a young person, she can be very hard on herself and can become withdrawn and depressed if she can’t do something. She gets frustrated easily, and is inclined to push people away that would try and help.
Victoria is a perfectionist, and obsessed with personal image and success. Though to most people she seems composed and mature for a girl of her age, she struggles with a poor self-esteem and an acute sense of public scrutiny. She lives in fear of failure, and almost always has a stomach ache from all the pressure she’s under.
Background: Victoria was born into a wealthy household in North Carolina. Her mother managed a successful boarding and show barn, while her father was often away overseas on business.
Victoria grew up around horses, and from an early age, she was showing on clients’ or her own, horses. Though her parents have always made it clear they would support her no matter what she did with her life, their success has always weighed heavily on Victoria.
At school she was a straight A student, taking on work for extra credit, volunteering for school-based projects and becoming a member of the student council. She never had many friends, and usually spent most of her time studying in the library. She had always found it easier to relate to adults than people of her own age, and whenever her parents entertained she would mingle with the guests, surprising them with her intellect and maturity.
Showing only encouraged her natural competitiveness, and soon enough Victoria was garnering praise from not only her mother’s clients but from some big name trainers as well. Her cool composure and ability to really show off a horse in the ring, made her a popular choice for a catch-rider.
Never one to back down from her commitments, Victoria successfully juggled a busy school curriculum with an exhausting show schedule. However it took a toll on her health, and after a confrontation with her parents, Victoria was forced to drop showing to focus on her school work. There would be time for that later, her mother told her, but Victoria was never able to get over the humiliation of what she saw as not being good enough.
It was her mother who found a small article on BRRA in the back pages of a popular horse magazine. Knowing how much it had hurt her daughter to quit showing, she thought maybe this could provide a healthy balance between schoolwork and horses. At first Victoria was reluctant to enrol, but after seeing how much this meant to her parents and knowing they only wanted her to be happy, she finally agreed to attend.
