Victoria...the very name means victory, so in the show she could be a beautiful show kitten who for some reason escaped to be with the tribe. I think her presence not only radiates innocence (note her pure white costume - a symbol of purity) but also throughout the musical reminds us of the shortness of the childhood we have, and that we should nuture it so we do not grow up before our time and forget that we will not ever be a child again in this lifetime. Also, I think the meaning of the mating dance was a way of freeing herself from the sexual repression of childhood into the freedom of adulthood, where you had fewer limits and more or less learn through your own actions, rather than being taught. by Luna
