In the original story created by Gerad Way and Gabriel Ba, Vanya is known as Number 7, the second girl of the seven that Sir Reginald Hargreeves adopted to save the world.
Vanya thought she had no powers, which she discovered until she was 22 years old. Vanya’s powers were so great that Reginald himself was afraid of her, so he asked Allison to make Vanya believe that he had no powers.
For the final stretch of the first season and in the second, Vanya played an important role since her powers were essential to prevent a catastrophe that would end the world, but in this third season the Hargreeves brothers are in trouble against new opponents, the Sparrow Academy.

In season two, when the brothers find themselves in the 1960s, Vanya has an affair with a woman named Sissy, who passed away in 1989.
Returning to the present day, Vanya consults the exploits of the Hargreeves and hears Sissy’s voice with what she said to her in the previous season. “You don’t even realize the box you’re in until someone comes and lets you out.”.
Given this, Vanya decides to make a radical change in her personality and transforms her appearance and her name, to appear before her brothers Klaus, Diego and Number Five as Viktor Hargreeves.
This change of character was worked on by both the producer of the show, Steve Blackman, the screenwriter Thomas Page McBee and Elliot Page, taking as references the experiences of the actor, who in 2014, when he was known as Ellen Page, declared his homosexuality, and in 2020 Page came out as a transgender man.
“In this story being trans is a context, a focus, a sharpening of perspective that will only deepen the connection millions of viewers already have with Viktor who, like most trans people I know, is not working to destroy the world, but to save himMcBee stated in a text for Esquire.
The Umbrella Academy cast includes Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, and Robert Sheehan.
All three seasons of The Umbrella Academy is now available on the world’s most popular platform.
