A Filipina woman married to Don Tiburcio. Above all else, Doña Victorina cares about her image as a beautiful and admired socialite, though she is actually—as Rizal goes out of his way to emphasize—past her prime. She is only in her thirties but looks much older, and she quickly adopts the latest trends, often changing her patterns of speech to reflect the sound of high society members. It is her idea to have Don Tiburcio treat María Clara. She also encourages him to bring along his respectable nephew Linares, whom she is eager to pair off with María Clara when Captain Tiago—whose advances she denied as a young woman because he was Filipino and not Spanish—calls off the wedding between his daughter and Ibarra.
