History

Miss. Virginia Lewis (Kimberly Williams) was born in Manhattan, New York City, and grew up in a well-to-do neighbourhood on the edge of Central Park. Virginia is the only daughter of Mr. Tony
and Mrs. Christine
Lewis.

Details about Virginia's relationship with her mother are few, Christine had wanted an abortion when she found out she was pregnant, 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 infantcy.)

Virginia was very young (too young to remember), when her father, Tony, put all his money into an investment of bouncy castle, which he was very taken with, but then lost both his fortune and later his business, and was left needing to take a job as a janitor to provide a home (a free apartment) for his family.

Still a little girl, Virginia had gotten 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 some, 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. Virginia's father Tony, and her vain and stuck-up grandmother (her mother's mother) are her only known immediate family, and Virginia was left unable to recall the night her mother walked out, never to return.

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 (Tony told her that her mother now lives in Miami); and whenever Virginia talks about her mother with her Grandmother - Old Mrs. Slevil, however talks non-stop about Society, and about Christine's debuet, and about her own debuet, and attempts to talk Virginia into entering high society like Christine before her, but Virginia isn't like her mother and grandmother, and so 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 Christine left (except the night she left), and what her grandmother has told her (repeatedly). As a result of fourteen years of this - Virginia feelings about her mother have been left unresolved, and feeling haunted by her mother's abandonment caused Virginia to grow up with trouble, trusting people on a simple level, and 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 shes 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. While Virginia excelled academically in school, but she opted out of college for unknown reasons. In her Bio, it mentions that Virginia is an excellent skier.

Fourteen years later after her mother walked out on her:

Virginia is now twenty-one, and she is still living with her father and looking after him (which she admits this is "a bit sad", but she's all he really 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 go on endlessly about how he hates his job and how the world is out to get him.
