According to what she herself said, since she was a child she knew she was a woman in a man's body, so she even confessed that she did not feel comfortable with her reproductive apparatus, which caused her repulsion. At the age of 18 she got involved in the world of YouTube, where she took the name Victoria, later she met a transsexual girl with the same name, who served as her mentor and advised her to begin her transition.
