Victoria is trying to find Bella, and to stay clear of the wolf pack. She's mostly in the background of the book. Jacob tells Bella that they (wolves) killed Laurent, and they were going for the "redhead" next. So, the reader only has other characters telling Bella about Victoria. Bella only see's Victoria one time in New Moon, when she jumped from the cliff and almost drowned. Before she lost consciousness she thought she saw red flames in the water, later realizing it was actually Victoria's hair. In the movie version, Victoria caused Harry Clearwater to have a heart attack. But in the book it was because his children phased into werewolves, shocking him. We also need to realize that in the novels, Bella doesn't actually hear Victoria speak until Eclipse.
