Due to growing up in a lower-class orphanage, his clothes are sewn together with different colored patches and stitches. He wears a pale-yellow collared, button-up shirt underneath a light brown waistcoat and a faded green long-sleeved blazer that has a noticeable denim blue patch on his left chest and folded cuffs, dark grey pants with a blue patch above the edge on the right and a cut above his ankles, brown socks and brown boots with brown laces that match almost in color. When he disguises as Mother Superior to escape the orphanage he wears a white cap with a white shawl over his head and an off-blue long-sleeved habit with a black tied string around the waist over his outfit. When he takes it off, he wears a red tight-fitting rubber hat with a chicken crest on the front, The Chicken is his fake chest, and his white “chicken wings’ with brown patches. Personality: Victor is shown to be an eccentric and excitable inventor with many creative ideas in mind. Throughout the movie, he’s friendly, caring, and open-minded. His obvious crush on his best friend, Félicie, leads him to become clumsy and nervous. There is a scene where he tries to lean in for a kiss with Felicie, which fails. Odette describes Victor as being a talented miracle worker who "just has the look of a total nitwit." He doesn’t know that chickens don’t fly until Félicie tells him. Biography: According to Félicie during a conversation with Odette, Victor is claimed to have been raised by wolves until he was left at the orphanage around the same time as her. They would become best friends with dreams of becoming an inventor and ballerina. He has an accent which makes his pronunciation of words soft. One day Victor sees Félicie on the roof of the orphanage (trying to escape) while the manager of the orphanage is checking on the children, then looking for her. He later goes to the roof and helps her off the roof after she gets her foot in the gutter. In the kitchen, he expressed how upset he was when she was "escaping without him". One night he executes his plan of sneaking out of the orphanage with Felicie. They get chased by Mr. Luteau, riding his motorcycle. They jump on a carriage, but when Felicie drops her music box, Victor gets off the running carriage to get it for her. When they get on the train, he fixes her music box. Victor talked about Paris enthusiastically. But when Felicie falls asleep, resting her head on his shoulder, he softens his voice, fixes her blanket, and sleeps too. As Félicie complained at first, chickens can't fly, but Victor renamed his new wings: pigeon wings at the end. Trivia: Victor is claimed to have been raised by wolves until he was left at the orphanage around the same time as her. Victor has a prototype in real history, a tailor with flying dreams who finally fell to his death at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower. He transformed new wings "chicken wings" to “pigeon wings” and how to express love to Félicie. He doesn’t know Chickens...don’t...fly. The second and third parts of his name, "François" and "Xavier", were likely a reference to the name of the movie's Line Producer, François-Xavier Ibague. When he showed Félicie the Statue Of Liberty (under construction, still in Paris), he said it was to be sent to the US. That is true in real life, as the Statue was a gift from the French to the Americans.
