Details about Virginia's relationship with her mother are few. When Christine discovered she was pregnant she wanted an abortion, but Tony wore her down on her decision. (As Tony was rich at the time, it is safe to say that Virginia was likely to have been in the care of a nanny during her infancy.)

Virginia was very young when her father, Tony, put all his money into an investment of bouncy castles, which he was very taken with, but then lost both his fortune and later his business, and was left with no income. Tony then took a job as a janitor to provide a home for his family. A janitors bucket with mop A janitor is a person who takes care of a building, such as a school, office building, or apartment block. ...

While a little girl, Virginia had the impression that her mother, Christine, didn't want her - and for a little girl that is a horrible thing to realise. Virginia recalls that, although her mother was cold towards her most of the time, she still recalls a few happy memories of her mother, which she treasures.

Virginia's mother Christine disappeared when Virginia was seven years old, leaving Virginia on her own to be raised by her father. Tony, and his vain and stuck-up mother-in-law are Virginia's only known immediate family. Virginia was unable to recall the night her mother walked out and never returned.

Over the years, Virginia has been unable to deal with her feelings towards her mother walking out on her: any attempts on Virginia's part to talk to her father about her mother were unsuccessful - Tony remained very tight-lipped about Christine, and will not talk about her simply telling Virginia that her mother now lives in Miami. Whenever Virginia talks about her mother with her grandmother the Old Mrs. Slevil, she talks non-stop about society, and about Christine's debut, and about her own debut, and attempts to talk Virginia into entering high society like Christine did before her, but Virginia isn't like her mother or grandmother, and she is uninterested in marrying someone just for wealth.

All that Virginia knows about her mother is what she remembers from her early childhood until she left, and what her grandmother has told her. As a result of fourteen years of this - Virginia feelings about her mother have been left unresolved, and feelings haunted by her mother's abandonment caused Virginia to grow up unable to put her trust in people, even on a simple level, due to this distrust she has only a few friends. Virginia has since been one to keep to herself and tries not get involved out of fear of getting hurt.

Known details about her life point out that despite the fact that she's not like her mother and grandmother - she still wants to know about her mother, and she frequently visits her grandmother’s Gramercy Park apartment from time to time, even though she knows her grandmother will try to persuade Virginia to be like her and her mother Christine. Virginia excelled academically in school, but she opted out of college for unknown reasons. She is also an excellent skier.

Story of the 10th Kingdom

Virginia is now twenty-one, a beautiful but withdrawn young woman. She is still living with her father and looking after him (which she admits this is "a bit sad", but she's the only family he has left). She has to do all the shopping, cooking (when she goes to work she has to leave Tony something out or he will not eat at all) and the cleaning (Tony never cleans up after himself), and has to listen to him talk endlessly about how he hates his job and how the world is out to get him.

Virginia is employed as a waitress at a New York restaurant (in the series the restaurant is called the Grill on the Park, in the novel adaptation it's the Grill on the Green) as it gets her out of her father's apartment, and where she has won numerous Employee of the Month Awards. One friend that Virginia is known to have is Candice "Candy" Fitzsimmons - her ditsy co-worker waitress at the Grill on the Park.

Virginia dreams of meeting the right guy whoever he is, and has a practical plan to establish a restaurant business once she finds a good man - a business partner, preferring management to waitressing. However, Virginia has never been in love, she has never been in a serious relationship because of her unresolved issues from childhood, Virginia has no experience with relationships and dating, and she is very inhibitive and even repressive with her own feelings: "I just never want to jump unless I'm sure someone's gonna catch me." Virginia is a lonely girl who just wants love and truth from a relationship (unlike her grandmother, who wants het to marry a man for financial reasons). Despite her tough-girl exterior Virginia wants commitment and romance - a love-life. So she's "permanently between boyfriends at the moment", so she does not have anyone to move in with.

Virginia is stuck in a dead-end job, and still sharing an apartment with father. She tries to accept that her life will not change: I guess you get to a certain age, and you realize that nothing exciting is ever going to happen to you. But maybe that just how some things are, maybe some people have quiet lives.

Deep down and truthfully Virginia is a warm, caring and compassionate person but she was disillusioned early in life, when her mother walked out on her and her father, so Virginia hardly got to enjoy her childhood, and she has had to be the responsible one in the wake of her father's collapse into his own well of self-pity, and Virginia has had a lifetimes worth of trying to find herself and where she is in life.

Virginia masks her emotions behind a cynical and sarcastic front, in an effort to protect herself from her own feelings, to mask her own insecurities from the world to the point that she becomes somewhat depressed, has she has no-one who she can really talk to, when its her father and grandmother who do all the talking about their opinions and Virginia just goes through all the motions of humouring them because she can hardly get her word in, no more than she can blame than for holding onto their fantasies as she daydreams herself.

Virginia is even suppressive of her own feelings, passions and affections; Virginia also tries not to get attached to anyone because she's scared of getting hurt, which also makes her very practical and sensible and has even tried to 'armour' herself for life in the real world.

Virginia is a typical product of the late 20th/early 21st century – full of expectations about what the world has to offer, yet too insecure and fearful to do anything about it, but with only her bickering father and grandmother as role-models, who could blame her for being reluctant from try taking any action of her own and being all that she could potentially be.

During the scene where the trio are on their way to the Kissing Town by hitching a ride on a horse-drawn wagon, Virginia was reading: Curing why I'm so Miserable "...ask yourself these following questions: Do you frequently conceal your emotions? Do you feel like you do everything for other people and then resent it?" - seems to sum up some of her feelings accurately.

Story

"My name is Virginia, and I live on the edge of the forest... well kinda. You see, my Dad's a janitor, that's how we got to have an apartment on the edge of Central Park. And you might think that the fact that I still live with my Dad is a bit sad, and you might be right. But I don't know... I'm all he's got really, and I'm sort of 'between boyfriends' at the moment, so, you know. I'm just a waitress at the "Grill on the Park"; but one day I'm going to find a partner, and open a restaurant of my own. All I need is a good man - who's interested in food." Central Park is a large public, urban park (843 acres or 3. ...

The story begins with Virginia's narration as she takes in the view of Central Park, day-dreaming away her free time, before finishing her chores and heading out for her shift as a waitress at the "Grill on the Park", going through the motions that she does everyday when her father, Tony, as he moans on about his woes and troubles, Virginia manages to insert: "Your Barbecue ribs are on top of the Microwave", before she watches as her father suck up to the building owner, Mr. Murray, as Tony is holding on to his job by a fine line.

Virginia is on her way to work, cycling through Central Park, when her path (and her bike) collides with a crash into a dog, and they lay for unconscious for a short while, until they both come to and Virginia, with the dog in tow, head through the park, Virginia discovers that she has lost her wallet, but is unwilling to linger any longer as she's now already late for work. Greeted by her co-worker/waitress, Candy' Fitzsimmons - who has a fetish for dogs, names him 'Prince'. Shortly later, 'Prince' forces Virginia to leave by writing DANGER in spilt flour, after Wolf arrives.
