Today, we challenge you to list some trivia facts about your character- anything and everything that you never get a chance to bring up. Why you chose their PB-- are they left-handed or right-handed-- zodiac sign? Favorite food? Place of birth? Something you know about them they don't know? Go wild, but give us a list of five trivia facts such as would be listed on their IMDB trivia page if your character became a star.
Well, for Victor I can cheat a little because I did a whole trivia post:
Ten Facts About Victor. However, here's some bonus facts:
- His birthdate of June 9th makes him a Gemini, and means he shares a birthday with Marty. Almost every time I take an online quiz that's based on zodiac sign, I find the text generally fits Marty a lot more than Victor. He was born at 9:20 A.M., after a hard night of labor for Nell.
- Using 1880 as my "base year" for Secundus means he was born in 1860. This makes him five years younger than my other Victors, who were born in 1855 (I set Corpse Bride in 1875 to help match it up to "Alice: Madness Returns" and make him and Alice about the same age).
- Speaking of which, Alice is ever so slightly older than him with her May 4th birthday.
- Victor has a bit of a thing for long hair on girls. A “Rapunzel fetish,” if you will. He likes stroking it and brushing it if he’s given the chance. He also appreciates having his own hair stroked - it’s great for calming him down. (You'll see a bit of this in an upcoming "Secundus" chapter.)
- He's been something of an entomologist ever since he can remember -- butterflies are pretty much the only thing that's never scared him.
