Personality

Veronica is very competitive, sarcastic, loud, psychotically humored, rude, easily bored, and highly ill-tempered as well as foul-mouthed, confident, and troubled. She is undiplomatic, believing in the use of brute force and coercion to get her way. Veronica is a merciless and sadistic killer, without a conscience, who will be more than ready to kill anyone at the slightest provocation. She takes maniacal glee in killing anyone she fights or just for fun and also has very little remorse for her enemies. 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.

Past: Veronica's mother abandoned her and her father when she was only 4. Being raised in the poverty-stricken Chinatown district of New York, Veronica had to deal with her father's alcoholism and abuse with no one to turn to. But that changed forever when she was 12. After fleeing from one of her father's rampages, she was arrested, beaten, and raped by a corrupt police officer. Upon being returned home following this ordeal, Veronica shot and killed her father after he callously asked her for another drink.

Now on the streets by herself, Veronica had many similar encounters with the NYPD, particularly at the 27th Precinct. At age 15, she was rescued by a man named Daniel Chang and taken in by him and his wife Anastasia. He cleaned her up as well as educated and trained her alongside another girl he took in named Roxanne Thomas. Veronica showed a huge interest in cars and guns which Chang trained her in the most.

She also showed a romantic interest in Roxanne which soon resulted in them dating within six months. On Veronica's 18th birthday, she got her GED and stated her wish to become a private military contractor just like Chang. With his blessing, Veronica decided to enlist in the Marines while Roxanne went to medical school to become a nurse. She graduated boot camp with honors and after 2 years, she joined the Special Forces. Veronica became an assassin and participated in several projects, traveling across the globe. After 4 years, she decided to leave the military and return home to Roxanne for good.

But when Veronica arrived back to New York, things took a tragic turn. Roxanne was ambushed and attacked by two pimps who wanted to get back at her for ruining their prostitution ring. Roxanne died in Veronica's arms and she became enraged, almost killing the pimps but Chang stopped her. Thanks to Roxanne's bravery, the pimps were sentenced to life in prison.

Her reputation and military experience made it easy for Veronica to become a private military contractor like she always wanted and she decided to move to Bon Temps, Louisiana to start a new life and escape the hellhole she considered New York to be. Veronica's been living in Bon Temps ever since, enjoying her new career.
