Personality
Veronica is a woman with a quiet, icy, and classy demeanor. She's
usually distant and reserved, preferring to express herself through her
actions rather than words. Whenever she does speak, she speaks candidly
and bluntly with lots of sass. Veronica absolutely abhors small talk and
frivolousness. Deep, interesting, and meaningful conversations are more
up her alley. Veronica isn't easy to get close to and her headstrong,
emancipated nature just makes it even more difficult. She applies the
term "Quality over quantity" to everything in her life, especially
people. She's rather choosy and picky about who she allows in her heart
and is very observant which helps her with making those decisions.
But one would be a fool to think that Veronica doesn't have a wild and crazy side. Sometimes she gets tired of putting up her walls and will let them down but only when she truly feels comfortable enough to do so. When she does so, Veronica will become kind and even generous and affectionate. She also isn't afraid to have a good laugh and has a healthy if not varied sense of humor. Because of the amount of pain Veronica has gone through in her life, she has a high amount of empathy as well as a big heart and can easily insert herself into other people's shoes. If she sees someone in trouble or struggling, no matter how big or small, she'll do everything in her power to help them if they'll accept it. Her compassion knows no bounds.
Veronica is very ambitious and has a hard work ethic, bordering on being
a workaholic. She's very dominant, tough-minded, and disciplined. She
has a "common sense" and "big sister" role amongst her peers, giving
them advice, warning them of their actions, and being very protective of
them. Veronica has a lot of hidden trauma and pain hidden underneath
her "ice queen" persona and keeps many cards close to her chest. She
prefers to keep her feelings inside and rarely expresses them.

Veronica's trauma and pain runs deep and it has caused her to become rather repressed and inhibited, especially sexually. She has kept everything inside for so long that she doesn't know how to be vulnerable and open up to others. Despite her beauty, Veronica doesn't think very highly of herself, thinks that her body is unattractive and unworthy of sex and love, and also feels guilt and shame when it comes to expressing herself sexually and having sexual desires. This is something that Veronica is afraid to admit despite evidence to the contrary and it has caused issues in her personal relationships which causes more pain for her.

Past: Veronica's father David was a U.S. Marine and he had met her mother
Aileen while he was in college. They fell in love which resulted in
Aileen getting pregnant and they eloped in Hawaii. The couple settled
down in Fort Hood, Texas where Veronica was born. She had a happy
childhood and many great memories but little did she know, things were
going to get really bad really quickly.
After graduating from high school, Veronica decided to enlist into the Marines, following in her father's footsteps and her MOS was 5811: Military Police. She quickly built a name for herself thanks to her determination/tenacity, hard work ethic, and sassy attitude and it wasn't long before she worked her way up the ranks and became a Special Agent in the Criminal Investigation Division. During this time, she had married her longtime sweetheart and childhood friend Joseph Summers, having twins with him. But their relationship was often tumultuous and filled with tension because of Veronica's devotion to her work, sexual repression, and the changes to her personality which eventually led to their divorce after 5 years of marriage and 10 overall years of being together. On top of that, she was going to college online and eventually got her Bachelor's in Criminal Justice. Veronica was very good at her job to the point where she was considered lethal and was even awarded a Silver Star for her actions. After 8 years in the Marines, Veronica left and decided to move to New York with her ex-husband and kids in tow, joining the Manhattan SVU with ease thanks to her military background and education.
Aileen and David
had gotten divorced when Veronica was 8 due to irreconcilable
differences and her parents shared custody of her but Veronica spent
most of her time at her mom's place due to her father's career. Her
mother had gotten remarried to a firefighter who already
had a son and her father had gotten remarried to a prominent military
lawyer and had two more daughters. Having
a blended family made Veronica come out of her shell and she had great
memories with her newfound stepparents and siblings but there were some
bad memories to go along with them. Her stepfather Anthony's younger
brother Mark was inappropriate with Veronica from the moment he first
met her and the grooming soon escalated to full-blown rape when she was
13. Whenever there was a family gathering or reunion, Veronica would be
subject to sexual and mental abuse at the hands of Mark but as she got
older, she began to fight back against him and avoided him whenever
possible, wanting to get away from him and never see him again.
