Victoria is part of James' three-man coven, who make their first appearance in a clearing in the woods of Forks while the Cullens are playing baseball -- Bella watching. Victoria is James' mate and is very loyal to him, 'though according to a revelation made by Edward in Eclipse the feeling wasn't entirely mutual, as James merely felt Victoria was merely convenient for evading or escaping from traps. Victoria also shares James' sadistic nature, vowing to torture Bella to death after Edward kills James. She even goes as far as to violate the rules set forth by the Volturi by raising an army of newborn vampires to accomplish this task, though her scheming is brought to a final end through an alliance between the Cullen family and the La Push werewolves.
