Victoria Lester, the only daughter to an esteemed family of tycoons, spent her life swimming in gold. Whatever she wanted, father would provide. Though her room was full of toys, she valued one over any other. A lavender plush toy depicting a rabbit, who she named Valentia, was almost constantly by her side whether it be at tea parties in her room, at the dinner table, sitting on the desk while she studied, or tucked away by her side when she went to bed every night. The two were inseparable.
Of course, the Lester fortune was coveted by many, and it was no surprise that Victoria's kidnapping was one way to extort the cash out of her parents. In fact that method turned out to be pretty popular among the bandits that roamed the streets at night. None had succeeded but many have definitely tried. It wasn't safe to be outside at night, so little Tori had to follow a curfew.
She was in her room when the thief broke in, but she didn't hear a peep. Failing to get any sleep, she and Valentia went downstairs to go and get herself a glass of warm milk, only to discover a strange person she'd never seen before having entered the foyer. Tori hid behind one of the pillars and spied on the thief, taking care not to make any sudden movements that would give her away. She had to tell father, but it was difficult to get out of there without being caught.
