~~About The Character~~

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.

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.

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'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.

Favorites: Sex, kids, cars/motorcycles, music, video games

Least Favorites: Being restricted, close-mindedness, criminals, corruption, being dismissed

Hobbies: Veronica is a gearhead to the fullest, having both a car and motorcycle and being well-known in both circles. She's a gamer and has a vast collection of video games. Veronica is a bibliophile, owning many books as well.

Phobias/Fears: Veronica's main fear is losing her children or any harm coming to them in any way possible. But she also fears failure and being vulnerable.

Habits: Veronica has a habit of twirling her hair around her fingers when she's deep in thought as well as humming random tunes. She's quite neat and organized which is typical of her military background.

Mannerisms: Veronica is blunt but concise and well-spoken. She doesn't beat around the bush and has no time for empty conversations. Veronica is indeed quite tough and isn't afraid to get loud and wild with her speech or behavior if she feels the situation calls for it. Her motto is "Lady in the streets, Freak in the sheets".

Skills/Talents: Veronica is a good singer and dancer, often doing it in private. She's a great cook and has many recipes that she keeps tucked away in a tin.

Best Qualities: Veronica's main best quality is her empathy and compassion for others, even those who are evil. She's a very hard worker and quite wise/intelligent. Her loyalty knows little bounds and she's the true definition of Ride or Die.

Worst Qualities: Veronica's biggest flaw is her perfectionism which she has to a fault. She has issues with trust and doesn't open up to others easily, keeping her pain bottled up inside. Veronica can be quite feisty and her mouth can get her in trouble or lead to misunderstandings about her. She can also be a workaholic and has trouble balancing work and family.

Morality/Ethics: Veronica has a high moral code and her ethical code is even higher. This is mostly due to not just her military background but her upbringing by her father. Veronica always does what she feels is right and isn't afraid to do so even if she's in the minority about her decision. She's very strict about her values and refuses to compromise when it comes to them.

Goals/Motivations/Dreams: Veronica doesn't particularly have any goals or dreams, having already accomplished most of what she wanted to do throughout her life. But her biggest goal in life is raising her kids to be the best people they can be.


~~The Character's Relationship With Others~~

Reputation: Veronica is very much respected by her peers in both her civilian and superhero life. Although her bluntness and perfectionism can rub people the wrong way and cause her to be misunderstood, those who truly know her can see the true nature behind her words and actions. Veronica's distrust of others and her reserved demeanor can lead to conflict and friction amongst her peers who are more about teamwork and wear their hearts on their sleeves. Overall Veronica is highly valued in both of her lives but is also misunderstood which can cause some varying opinions about her amongst her peers.

Love Interest(s): Bruce Wayne (Loves Him), Diana (Has A Crush), or Wally West (Likes Him)

Friends: Clark Kent, Lois Lane, John Stewart, Shayera, Dick Grayson, Damian Wayne, Jason Todd, Justice League

Enemies: Joker, Harley Quinn, Lex Luthor, Deathstroke

Relationships

Bruce Wayne: A close friend of Veronica that she works with in her superhero life and often sees in her civilian life.

Veronica met Bruce as Batman while she was undercover trying to bust a pedophile ring and she brushed him off at first, not wanting her cover to be blown as well as not wanting his help. But when the ringleader decided to target her kids, Veronica was given no choice but to rely on Batman to keep them safe. Her kids stayed at the Wayne Manor with Alfred while she decided to team up with Batman to bring down the ring and close the case.

Veronica met Bruce in civilian form during a gala that he was hosting thanks to one of her friends working for Wayne Enterprises and they danced and flirted the entire night. But nothing came of it due to both of them being quite busy in their civilian lives.

Veronica highly admires Bruce and her respect for him knows no limits. Out of everyone in the Justice League, Veronica has the best rapport with Bruce easily and they're unstoppable when they work together. She feels as if she can relate to him in some ways and finds it easy to confide in him which is incredibly rare for her. Bruce is one of the few people in her life that can understand her and calm her down when she gets too heated as well.

Veronica's feelings for Bruce have evolved way past friendship and respect but she keeps them hidden because of the many doubts clouding her mind about them being in a relationship.


Diana: Veronica met Diana when she first joined the Justice League.

At first, Veronica and Diana had difficulty getting along due to their crime-fighting styles being opposites and Veronica's perfectionism didn't make things any better. But they were eventually able to resolve their differences when Diana saved Veronica's son who was having a seizure, eventually leading to a close friendship between them.

Despite their opposite natures, Veronica really looks up to Diana and finds her to be quite intriguing. It's not uncommon to see the two girls doing typical girly activities together and Veronica even asks Diana to babysit her kids every now and then. On the field, they make a great team and have a "good cop, bad cop" kind of relationship when it comes to dealing with criminals.

Veronica has a crush on Diana but isn't sure of how to approach her and doesn't want to jeopardize their friendship so she keeps silent about her feelings.


Wally West: Veronica met Wally while she was working with the Central City Police Department during a case and she met him as the Flash when she first joined the Justice League.

One would expect Wally to be a constant source of annoyance for Veronica but instead he's a constant source of peace and fun for her. Wally brings out a side of Veronica that she never knew she had and she finds him very refreshing to be around. Alongside Diana, Veronica will also ask Wally to babysit her kids sometimes. She truly values his character and can always count on him to cheer her up and bring her down to earth despite them both being idealistic.

On the field, Veronica and Wally make an interesting team, even creating some moves that they use together in battle. It's also not uncommon to hear them making quips and jokes with each other to the point of flirting and making innuendos much to the humor of the other superheroes.

Veronica really likes Wally and enjoys spending time with him but is unsure of how to approach him to make things between them more than friendship.


John Stewart: Veronica met John during her time in the Marine Corps and reunited with him when she joined the Justice League.

Because of their shared military background, it's not much of a shock that the two are very good friends and make a great duo both on and off the field. Many people often assume that they're a couple because of how well they get along but Veronica's feelings about John are purely platonic to the point where she considers him a brother.

John is the only person in the League who knows everything about Veronica and her past which only shows just how close they are and how much she trusts him. She is incredibly loyal to John and will always stick by his side even when she shouldn't. It's also not uncommon for John and Veronica to be giving each other advice when it comes to their personal lives and she even considers him the godfather of her children.


Raestrao (OC):  Veronica met Raestrao while she was in the Marines and he is responsible for transforming her into a succubus.

Their relationship is nothing short of a teacher and student relationship and Raestrao regards Veronica as a daughter of sorts. He is the person that Veronica goes to for guidance on how to use her powers better and he's always training her to hone her abilities so she can become a powerful succubus. Veronica deeply cares for Raestrao and thinks of him as a father figure, being incredibly protective of him and spending time with him whenever she can.

Raestrao will also assist the Justice League in taking down whatever bad guys they're trying to stop and Veronica loves working alongside him whenever she can.


~~The Character's Abilities~~

Powers/Abilities: Being a succubus, Veronica's main source of power is the sexual energy that she has to consume in order to survive which she can get through any kind of physical touch or food which isn't as sustainable. She has the ability to enthrall others in order to make them fall prey to her seductions which is typical of a succubus. The energy Veronica absorbs from others can be used for combat, magic, or healing. Her unique abilities that separate her from other succubi are super strength and speed. She also has the ability to fly thanks to having wings in her alternate form. Veronica is a master of emotion and therefore very empathetic to the point of being an empath.

Thanks to her time in the Marines, Veronica is very skilled with firearms and rifles as one would expect. Her main specialties are analysis and counterintelligence. She's excellent at blending in, being undercover, interrogation, and stealth. Intelligence as a whole is her best and most lethal skill.

Origin Of Powers: Veronica got her powers when she was turned into a succubus.

Strengths: As long as Veronica has enough energy, she can fight relentlessly without tiring. Her enthrallment is so powerful that she can enthrall an entire army if she wished. Since Veronica uses energy to maintain her health, she's incapable of getting human illnesses, giving her a very long lifespan. Her magic has various uses in both offense and defense.

Weaknesses: Veronica needs energy in order to survive and if she goes without it for too long, she'll either become weak and fragile or wild and insane. When she's in her human form which she keeps up by using a glamor spell, she's unable to fly. Veronica's enthrallment can't be used on someone with a strong will or someone who specializes in holy magic which is her ultimate weakness.

Restrictions: Veronica's super speed and strength as well as her magic pales in comparison to her colleagues and varies depending how much energy she's consumed. She also can't consume too much energy or she'll behave as if she were drunk or high which can be disastrous for those around her especially when she's coming down from said high.

Alternate Form:


Fighting Style: Veronica is a skilled martial artist and mostly uses hand-to-hand combat, preferring to conserve her magic and weapons for stronger enemies.

Character Background: 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.

Aileen and David had gotten divorced when Veronica was 8 due to her father becoming an alcoholic and drug addict and her parents shared custody of her but Veronica spent most of her time at her mom's place due to her father's addictions. 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 after getting clean.
 
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.

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, 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 Joseph Summers, having twins with him. But their relationship was often tumultuous and filled with tension because of Veronica's devotion to her work, her sexual repression which caused them to have a semi-dead bedroom, 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 Sliver Star for her actions. After 8 years in the Marines, she left and decided to join the FBI with her son and daughter in tow.

During her final deployment in the Marines, Veronica was captured by enemy soldiers and was saved by an incubus named Raestrao but not before being fatally shot. In order to save her life, Raestrao transformed her into a demon and after she left the Marines and applied for the FBI Academy, Veronica managed to locate him and asked him to train her which he readily agreed to. She also decided to become a superhero to fight crime outside of being a federal agent and eventually joined the Justice League which she now considers her true home.
