Gloria Tory is a Sordish politician, member of assembly and the current Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Sordland since 1949. She has been a member of the assembly since 1937.

After graduating from Holsord State University, Gloria was elected as the president of the student organization, Republican Youth. She supported the democratic revolutionaries and was credited for organizing several major student rallies during the last years of the Sordish monarchy.

Before her election to the assembly, she worked at several jobs, including a lobbying firm and a school of public speaking and debating. In 1929, she became a member of the United Sordland National Committee from Vesord.

Gloria rose quickly in USP after she was elected to the Grand National Assembly in 1937. She was appointed as a special adviser to the Minister of Interior in 1938, before being brought as the frontbench spokeswoman for Home Affairs in 1942, and the spokeswoman for Education in 1944. In 1949, she was elected as the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly, in protest against President Ewald Alphonso's reformist agenda. She is the first woman in Sordland to hold that position.

She was a strong critic of Ewald Alphonso’s presidency, and she became famed for her obstructions in the assembly of some of his policies. Regarded as a charismatic politician and a tough negotiator, she is credited for major lobbying incidents within the USP which shifted the political landscape during the last decade. After the 1953 elections, she was elected speaker for a second time.
