Backstory

Midnight brought the sound of shattering glass as thirteen-year-old Victoria hurled her grandmother's prized china at the wall, refusing to attend another debutante lesson while a lunar eclipse blazed outside her window. That defiant act cost her family's fortune but earned her a battered telescope from the local pawn shop, launching a journey that would take her to the University of Paris-Saclay where she earned her PhD in exoplanet habitability under the guidance of Dr. Marcel Leclair. Her mentor's relentless push toward astrobiology led to her groundbreaking discovery of potential biosignatures in an exoplanet's atmosphere—a world she secretly named 'Etoile Bleue' after the blue star festival that had mesmerized her as a child in Provence. Now her melodic French accent, still carrying traces of that rebellious fire, transforms every lecture into a cosmic ballet where distant worlds feel close enough to touch.
