Family:
Mother: Renee Trang (nee Nguyen) | Lawyer | Alive
Father: Lester Trang | Stock Broker | Alive
Son: Diego Ramirez Jr. | Alive
Past: Jean was born in Texas but moved to California when she was 5. Her parents were struggling to conceive so when Jean was born, they were very happy and wanted to provide the best for their miracle child. Overall, Jean had a happy, memorable childhood and was a very active, extroverted kid to her parents' chagrin.
When Jean was 16, she graduated high school due to advancing a few grades and on her 17th birthday, she enlisted in the U.S. Marines with her parents' permission which was difficult to get due to their many concerns. Boot camp brought out the best in Jean and she quickly became one of the best soldiers in training, even graduating with honors.
Jean specialized in infantry, wanting to go into direct combat instead of being behind the scenes. She was pushed beyond her limits but she proved herself quickly with her perseverance and quick thinking. Jean quickly rose in the ranks, becoming Sergeant and at the age of 21 gave birth to a son she named Diego Jr, the father being a man named Diego Ramirez who was in the Air Force.
As Jean's military career continued to soar, her personal life began to plummet. She struggled with PTSD and postpartum depression which put a strain on her relationship with her family despite their best efforts to help her. Diego decided to break things off with Jean, taking their son with him. This caused her to finally seek counseling and therapy and she managed to repair her personal relationship, maintaining a civil co-parenting relationship with Diego and sharing custody of their son with him.
At age 26, Jean was discharged from the Marines after 9 years of service. She was a heavily decorated war hero with the rank of First Sergeant by this time and decided to settle down in Los Angeles. Because of Diego deciding to stay in the Air Force, he and Jean mutually agreed that Diego Jr should stay with her due to her being more stable and staying in one place now.
Now with her son by her side, Jean decided to apply for the LA Police Academy, quickly getting in thanks to her military experience. Now she's currently a police officer in the LAPD, being on the force for three years now.

Personality
Veronica is very competitive, sarcastic, loud, psychotically humored, rude, easily bored, and highly ill-tempered as well as foul-mouthed. She is undiplomatic, believing in the use of brute force and coercion to get her way. Veronica is merciless and sadistic, having very little remorse for her enemies or anyone who messes with her in the slightest of ways. Whilst appearing to be driven by general bloodlust, she actually subconsciously uses violence as a dysfunctional coping mechanism and outlet for her deeply repressed emotional and psychological issues. An example of this is venting her trust issues by becoming particularly unpredictable and even dangerous to be around.
Most people tend to take Veronica at face value as a sadistic, incredibly destructive, volatile, gun-crazed psychopath and this is how she initially thinks of herself, ignoring the psychological trauma and emotional turmoil that fuels her behavior, possibly investing herself in this surface image to prevent others from discovering her emotional scars, keeping them hidden even from herself.
Due to an impoverished upbringing which involved verbal, physical and sexual abuse from those who had power over her, Veronica has developed an obsession towards power over herself, which causes her to appear fiercely independent and violently assertive, often using verbal or physical violence as a response to anyone who crosses her. However, while she initially appears to be tough, savage and strong-minded, her exterior actually covers up a profound lack of inner-strength and fear of the powerlessness she felt as a child. Her independence is actually more of a reactive attachment disorder, alienating others as much as possible to prevent the exposure of her own weakness and vulnerability.
Despite her insistence otherwise, Veronica actually hates the person she has become and desperately wants to change but doesn't know how, seeing the world as a garden of roses that she herself was expelled from. The feeling that she was unreasonably denied a happy life causes Veronica to view the world as bleak and desolate to the point of nihilism.

Family, Friends, and Foes
Family:
Mother: Ava Sanchez | Bartender | Deceased
Father: Gilbert Perez | Chef | Alive
Twin Brother: Vincent Perez | Police Officer | Alive
Younger Sister: Serenity Perez | Nurse | Alive
Past: Veronica's mother Ava gave birth to her and her twin brother Vincent when she was 15 and had Serenity two years later. The father was Gilbert Perez, a man five years her senior who was in culinary arts. Ava dropped out of high school and moved in with Gilbert after being kicked out by her parents. Their relationship was often volatile, Ava being the cause of the problems they had. Gilbert refused to tolerate Ava's behavior and eventually left her when Veronica was 5. He attempted to take the children with him but to no avail.
Ava eventually began to date one of the biggest drug dealers in the area who went by the name Rock. Things went downhill quickly from there. Rock began to abuse the kids, targeting Veronica the most and Ava did little to nothing about it, even participating in the abuse sometimes. It came to an end when Veronica was 12. Rock raped her and when he and Ava went to bed later that night, she grabbed one of his guns and killed them both while they were sleeping, using their pillows as silencers.
Veronica took her siblings and went to see her father who eagerly took them in. The case surrounding Ava and Rock's deaths went cold due to the lack of physical evidence and no one testifying against Veronica. Although Gilbert was loving towards his children and took good care of them, his job as a chef often kept him away from home, leaving them to their own devices.
Veronica kept herself busy by learning about guns and cars and became good friends with one of her neighbors named Roxanne Thomas. As she got older, she became a street rat and a rebellious delinquent, even huffing various substances by the time she was 16. Veronica also came out as a lesbian during that time and became Roxanne's girlfriend, causing her to lose faith in God after being shunned by the Catholic Church for it.
Once she graduated from high school, Veronica began to take up street racing and tattooing in order to support her family and to ease the longing she had for adrenaline and fun. She also participated in other illegal activities such as street fighting and drug dealing. Roxanne was her partner in crime as well as her mentor and they became closer than ever, resulting in Veronica moving in with her and them going to Los Angeles six months later.
Eight years passed and by this time, Veronica was working as a tattoo artist while engaging in various criminal activities with Roxanne, making lots of money in the process. The duo had many run ins with the LAPD even to the point of being harassed but because of how rich they had become, they were able to afford good lawyers. One of them being Renee Trang whose daughter Veronica became friends with.
But that all changed when Veronica and Roxanne were out celebrating their 10 year anniversary as a couple. They were ambushed by three LAPD officers who were angry at them due to getting demoted which they blamed on the girls. Veronica and Roxanne were both brutally raped and beaten, the latter taking the brunt of the abuse to protect the former and dying in the process. Veronica snapped and shot all three officers in a fit of rage and sadness for her fallen lover.
But one of them managed to live and got Veronica arrested before she could go to the hospital. Determined to make the LAPD pay for everything they'd done over the years, she contacted Renee Trang once more and was eventually hospitalized and treated for her injuries. Veronica pressed charges against the cop and sued the LAPD for $500,000, citing slander, harassment, and brutality amongst other things.
Thanks to many witnesses coming forward, video and physical evidence, combined with Renee's toughness and strength, the cop was found guilty and sentenced 25 to life. As for the lawsuit, a deal was offered due to her many skills and talents being noted by the chief of police. If Veronica joined the LAPD, she would get half the money with the other half going to Roxanne's family. She would also get an expunged record as well. Veronica took the deal and at the age of 28 was a police officer.
She's been an officer for 4 years now with her current partner being Jean Trang, the daughter of Renee Trang. Veronica is also a licensed a tattoo artist which she does on the side whenever she can.
