Victoire Desgraves is a Black scholar who speaks Kreyól, French, and English. While she is extremely gifted and as smart as everyone else on campus, she is treated to extreme discrimination, both as a woman and a Black person. Over the years, she becomes desperate to change things and angry that her best friend, Letty, is not willing to see the truth. This pushes her to join Hermes when Anthony asks and, after Letty’s betrayal, Victoire decides that she wants to help Robin destroy the system that had caused them and their people so much suffering.
