"Let's hit it big!"
―VT[src]

Victoria Terpsichore, more widely known as simply "VT" was a well-respected, interstellar trucker with the nickname "Heavy Metal Queen". Her late husband was the famous bounty hunter, Ural Terpsichore, but that was not widely known by others.

Although Terpsichore loved her husband, she came to hate his profession, especially when it killed him. She would despise all other bounty hunters afterwards. Furthermore, she preferred not to use her full name, simply introducing herself as VT so that no one would know of her relationship to Ural. The other truckers had some fun with this, perpetuating a bet to see who can guess her full name, which she encouraged.

During her travels, she had a cat, Zeros, who was her constant companion and almost as well known as herself among the community.

Terpsichore meets Spike Spiegel in a bar while he was on the hunt for a explosive-smuggling criminal named Decker. After having a bar brawl with several stooges, Spike and VT seem to become fast friends until she learns Spike is a bounty hunter. Although she initially regards Spike as "lowlife bounty hunter scum," she puts their differences aside and reluctantly works with him when their paths cross again as VT begins searching for Decker, who has performed a ship hit-and-run on one of her fellow truck drivers.

Spike realized VT's full name once he saw Ural's picture in her ship, and won the bet.
