[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] ’ [name_f]Tori[/name_f] ’ Ruò Xuān Wu (35) is Amanda’s mother and stepmom to Alysha’s daughters, who chose to keep her maiden name after marrying [name_m]Wesley[/name_m]. This is actually because [name_f]Tori[/name_f] had a husband before meeting [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] herself, and the subsequent process of changing her surname back was too tiresome for her. The fact O’Leniyah is closer in age to her aunt [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] is something Tori’s family found a bit unusual at first, but she’s always been clear that the relationship between the children is there’s to define, and funnily enough, [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] loves showing off about her status to friends at school.
Tori’s formed a good relationship with her stepchildren and [name_f]Alysha[/name_f] as well, as she’s absolutely against pitting people against each other or playing favourites. When she and Welsey became a couple, [name_f]Tori[/name_f] also was firm in not wanting [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] put into the spotlight unnecessarily, as she saw all the unhappiness [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] endured (and how it still pops up in the father/daughter relationship today), making it clear she’d leave if Amanda’s boundaries were ignored.
Unlike her husband, [name_f]Tori[/name_f] didn’t have any children with her ex, partly because they were fresh out of college when they tied the not and only made it past 6 months before realising they’d made a big mistake. Their romance was a whirlwind, but when it fizzled out, both of them realised they had next to nothing in common when it came to wants for the future, and so a hasty divorce followed. Thankfully there’s been no issues between them since they split, they’ve just gone on with their lives independently
