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.

Theme Song: Dance In The Dark by Lady Gaga

Fears: Failure, being taken advantage of, being vulnerable
Favorite Color: Black

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.

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.

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.

Bio/Background: When Athena was 9, a girl who lived on her street was kidnapped and the entire neighborhood tried to look for the missing girl but all they were able to find was a hair clip in the woods. The girl's name was Denise Wayne and Athena was good friends with her older brother Axel which made things even more personal for her in this case.
 
Seeing how hard losing Denise was for the Wayne family and for Axel especially, Athena vowed to become a police officer so she could find Denise and reunite her with her family. As they got older, Athena and Axel got closer and eventually they started dating when they were sophomores in high school, getting married after graduation.
 
Athena decided to enlist in the U.S. Marines much to the shock of Axel and her parents, becoming military police. During her time in the military, Athena was able to get a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, became an officer, re-enlisting in the Reserves instead of going back to active duty, and moved to Domino City with Axel, joining the police department once they were settled.

Wanting to further herself, Athena decided to go back to school to get her Master's but sadly it also came with a huge downer. Axel came out as gay and Athena had trouble coming to terms with it but eventually decided that it was best for them to divorce, promising to always remain friends and be there for him if he needed anything.

After obtaining her Master's Degree, Athena became a Sergeant in the police force and now currently she's focusing entirely on her career both in and out of the Marines, wishing to make her mark on the world and hopefully make a difference.

~~About The Character~~

Personality: Zuri is a woman with a complex personality. If you were to ask three different people about her, you would get three different answers.

She doesn't care about popularity and is perfectly fine with being a lone wolf, showing her more introverted and individualistic side.

She's afraid of being vulnerable and showing weakness in front of others so she prefers to not let people get close to her.

~~Character Background~~
 
Birthplace: Los Angeles, California, United States Of America
 
Bio/Background: Zuri's childhood was normal yet active and from the age of 5, she had an interest in dueling that didn't go unnoticed by her mother who was a former professional duelist now turned cop. Underneath her tutelage, Zuri became one of the best duelists in her hometown and at age 12, she met the man who would change her life forever: Jeremy Murtaugh who was a friend of her mother's.

He was 18 years her senior and she instantly gravitated towards him because he made her feel beautiful and worthy. Jeremy had become Zuri's mentor and her growing interest in dueling only made their relationship even stronger since he was a professional duelist. But rumors began to spread about their relationship once Zuri's dueling career began to take off.

When Zuri was 13, her younger brother Teshawn was abducted from a department store while she was out shopping with him and her friends. After extensive searching and numerous coverage, his body was found two weeks later. To make matters more stressful, Zuri's parents had decided to divorce due to her father coming out as gay. Zuri was devastated and completely shut down, only opening up to Jeremy and relying completely on him. He took advantage of this and she lost her virginity to him when she was 14 which made their relationship quite sexual and deviant. At this point, Jeremy had started to become manipulative and controlling.

Zuri began to come up with an escape plan behind Jeremy's back but there was one major obstacle in her way: she was pregnant. In response, Jeremy decided to marry her in secret. Due to Zuri being underage, Jeremy bribed a government employee to obtain a fake ID for her which was then used to obtain a marriage license that listed her as 18 instead of 15. At that point, Zuri's parents were getting worried about her change in demeanor and how she was changing physically. But she refused to speak and shut herself off from everyone who loved her at that point. The only person in her world was Jeremy as far as anyone was concerned.

But everything came to light one night when Jeremy discovered that Zuri was trying to escape his grasp. He violently raped and beat her but Zuri managed to escape after stabbing him with a knife and called her mother before passing out. When she woke up, she was in a hospital bed and her baby was gone. Due to the beating that Jeremy gave her, Zuri had miscarried which caused everything to come to light.

Zuri's parents were furious and got the marriage between her and Jeremy annulled but not before Carmelita placed him under arrest. Zuri was too terrified to speak up because of the publicity and the threats to her career but thanks to the encouragement of her fellow duelists and her family, she decided to do so in order to prevent Jeremy from doing what he did to other girls.

To make the case even more airtight against Jeremy, Zuri gave one of his laptops to her mother which contained numerous videos of them engaging in sexual acts together as well as with other underage girls. Zuri also gave the police an external hard drive which contained videos of Jeremy's abuse against her as well as a video diary in which she talked about their relationship in great detail and how it was destroying her relationship with her family.

In order to keep Zuri safe during the investigation, she was sent to Battle City to go into hiding but she still wasn't free from Jeremy. He kept intimidating and blackmailing her to keep her from speaking out and testifying but Zuri wouldn't budge thanks to her new environment allowing her to flourish and thrive. She kept records of all conversations between them to hurt him even further as well.

By the time the trial began, there was so much evidence against Jeremy alongside Zuri's emotional testimony that the jury was only out for 30 minutes before reaching a verdict: Guilty.

Jeremy was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his many crimes and his reputation and image were forever ruined. Much to Zuri's surprise, her reputation in the dueling world wasn't negatively affected by the ordeal and many of her fellow duelists (especially female duelists) supported her immensely. The amount of love and support Zuri received made starting her newfound life without Jeremy much easier and when she turned 18, she was discovered by a photographer which lead to her beginning her modeling career and eventually becoming a supermodel, being a muse for many prominent designers.

Now Zuri is enjoying her modeling and dueling careers, seeming to be on top of the world but little does everyone know, she has her own demons that she struggles with and they sometimes rear their ugly head.

Relationship With Mother: Aaliyah and Athena have a close relationship that's also a bit distant because of Athena's job and tendency to be an overbearing, protective hardass at times. Athena also sees things as black and white which often clashes with Aaliyah's more grey perspective. Despite the tension between them, Aaliyah loves her mother dearly and often worries about her when she's on the job.

Father: Michael Grant
Father's Age: 51-52 (Pre-Timeskip); 57 (Post-Timeskip)
Father's Job: Architect
Relationship With Father: Aaliyah's relationship with Michael became strained when he came out as gay which lead to him and Athena divorcing. Aaliyah was angry at her father for lying and staying in the closet for so long but she eventually came around as time went on and now she's very close with her father. Aaliyah will often tell Michael things that she won't tell Athena because she finds him easier to talk to and be around.
 
Stepfather: Hiroki Bushida
Stepfather's Age: 49 (Pre-Timeskip); 54 (Post-Timeskip)
Stepfather's Job: Fire Captain
Relationship With Stepfather: Aaliyah greatly adores Hiroki and considers him a second father. She also looks up to him because of his past and how he's managing to overcome his demons. Hiroki's introverted personality harmonizes well with Aaliyah's although there can be some comedic moments between them because of him also being witty and a good sport when being pranked.
 
Younger Sister: Zafina Grant
Younger Sister's Age: 13-14 (Pre-Timeskip); 19 (Post-Timeskip)
Younger Sister's Job: Dispatcher (Post-Timeskip)
Relationship With Younger Sister: Aaliyah and Zafina definitely have a "partners in crime" relationship and they're very protective of each other. Zafina's alternative style of dressing is greatly appreciated by Aaliyah and it's not uncommon to see them shopping together and trying out new clothes. Zafina also has a dark personality fitting of a goth and it compliments Aaliyah's chameleon personality quite well, leading to some rather sinister mischief involving them sometimes.
 
Love Interest(s): Ryunosuke Tanaka, Tobio Kageyama, Daichi Sawamura, Kiyoko Shimizu, Koshi Sugawara, Asahi Azumane

~~History Profile~~

Background: Aaliyah was born in Japan to an African-American couple and seemingly had a perfect childhood. But her father Michael was a closeted gay man and he finally came out when Aaliyah was 13. Although her parents tried to keep things normal and wanted to make their marriage work, they eventually decided to get a divorce but it was amicable and they promised to always remain friends.

A year later, Aaliyah had a new stepfather by the name of Hiroki Bushida who was a captain for the fire department and she eagerly welcomed him with open arms, considering him a second father. Having a blended family gave Aaliyah the fire that she desperately needed to stand up to her bullies and becoming a better person as she attended high school.
 
Now Aaliyah is currently in medical school with the goal of becoming an OB/GYN.

Personality


At first glance, Jade doesn't seem like a powerful crime lord. She carries herself in a gregarious way, often smiling and engaging in conversations with those around her. Jade gives off an aura of professionalism and can seem rather intimidating but once she starts talking, it all flies out the window. She oozes charisma and her charismatic energy makes her a highly loved figure in the community. 

But underneath her shell lies a very sinister woman with a sadistic and merciless streak. Jade is a secretive, scandalous, roguish, and crafty jezebel with a very mischievous, flippant, saucy, presumptuous, and extremely nervy attitude. Often she subjugates others through her many forms of manipulation, extortion, low blows, and dirt she's able to obtain on people. This is what makes Jade so dangerous to cross or anger.

Jade has a chameleon, street-smart nature that enables her to blend in with any crowd and she's excellent at reading and profiling people. This combined with her free-spirited and bold demeanor makes her invaluable when it comes to infiltration and gathering intel. Jade has no shame when it comes to her body or sexuality, being quite amoral and lusty and her open-mindedness knows little bounds.
 
Surprisingly however, Jade isn't one for killing and only does it as a last resort. Being the sadistic woman she is, she prefers to make people suffer and loves to play the long game when it comes to any kind of conflict. However Jade does have a berserk button: the people that she cares for and values. Unlike most crime lords, Jade cares greatly for the people she works with and loyalty is one of her strongest characteristics. She will never sell out a comrade nor betray them. If anyone dares to mess with her family or friends, God help them because they will feel Jade's wrath.

Mother: Crystal Cacace (nee Young) | OB/GYN | Alive
Father: Earl Grant | Incarcerated
Stepfather: Dante Cacace | Crime Lord, Businessman | Retired
Younger Brother: Benjamin Cacace | Owner of Benny's Towing | Alive
Younger Sister: Beth Cacace | Mechanic | Alive
Son: Quincy Maxwell | Deceased
Daughter: Chloe Maxwell | Deceased

Past: Jade was the product of an affair between a woman named Crystal and a married man. Crystal was forced to raise Jade by herself since the man wanted nothing to do with her and since she was a college student studying to become an OB/GYN, times were very difficult for them. There were times when Crystal wouldn't even eat because there was only enough food for Jade. 

But Crystal's life changed when she met Dante Cacace who was a businessman and crime lord. She rejected his advances but eventually Dante's charm worked on her and she went out on a date with him. This led to a whirlwind romance between them and within two years, they were married. Jade went from poor to rich overnight and she took on Dante's last name as well since she considered him her true father.

When Jade was 10, Crystal gave birth to twins Benjamin and Beth which made Jade a big sister. At this point, Crystal was starting her residency although she didn't need to have a career thanks to Dante's wealth. But everything took a dark turn when Jade was 12.

While the Cacace family was sleeping, a rival gang broke into the mansion where they lived and Jade was the first to wake up. But before she could do anything, a gang member broke into her room and attempted to rape her. Jade's screams alerted the rest of the Cacace family and Dante was furious. A large gunfight ensued and the Cacace family wound up winning but not without minor and major injuries. 

Jade was traumatized by the whole experience but instead of wallowing in her despair, she chose to get stronger and wanted to join the crime business, following in Dante's footsteps. Dante didn't want Jade to get involved because of what had happened but as Jade became a teenager and started acting wild, he knew that she had what it took to join the family business and started to become her mentor.

When Jade graduated from high school, she joined Dante's gang but she also went off to college per his request because he wanted her to be educated and still be normal. Jade majored in Business and while she was at a party during her freshman year, she had a one-night stand with a guy named Jesse Maxwell that turned into a close romance after he continued to pursue her. Jade and Jesse moved in together after they graduated from college and Jesse pursued his dream of becoming a chef while Jade began the process of taking over Dante's empire due to his retirement.

Jade eventually had a son named Quincy and on her 25th birthday, Jesse proposed to her. A year later, Jade gave birth to a daughter that she named Chloe. But tragedy struck before Jade and Jesse could marry.

During Chloe's 2nd birthday party, one of Jade's enemies named Warlock decided to commit a drive-by shooting and sadly Jesse, Quincy, and Chloe were killed. Jade exploded in rage and grief and after six months of planning, she enacted her revenge by completely decimating Warlock's gang and executing him publicly in front of his wife to make an example out of him.

Jade's reputation quickly changed after that event and she finally got the respect she deserved from the people who thought that she was just a spoiled brat who didn't have what it took to make it as a crime lord. Now Jade is more powerful than ever but still feels like something is missing in her life and is still grieving the loss of her family.

Past: Althea was a military brat and had an upbringing that was rather typical of one. Traveling and moving around a lot was very common for Althea but she took it all in stride because of her love for learning and adventure which she shared with her father, being a daddy's girl to the fullest.

Sadly when Althea was 12, she and her twin brother Albert were walking home from the library on base when they were jumped by a group of thugs who were trying to rob them. This led to Albert getting stabbed while Althea ran to get help. Thankfully she didn't have to run very far as she had literally ran into a military police officer that was good friends with her mother.

This led to the thugs being arrested and Albert being rushed to the hospital where he later died. Althea testified at the trial despite being traumatized and the thugs were given a 20 year sentence as part of a plea deal so they wouldn't get life in prison.

Althea dealt with her grief and sorrow by isolating herself from her family and throwing herself into her education and athletics as a distraction. On her 17th birthday, Althea surprised everyone by joining the U.S. Army and becoming a combat medic. Her father was especially worried about her but she ignored everyone's worries and proved herself to be a wonderful soldier, rising up the ranks rather quickly and becoming highly decorated to the point of earning a Silver Star.

After Althea's first deployment, she went to a lounge with some of her fellow soldiers and met a man named Sylvester Smith who was 10 years her senior and was beginning his residency as an OB/GYN fresh out of medical school. Althea and Sylvester drank and talked the whole night away and she found herself enamored with his intelligence and understanding of the world at large.

Despite the age difference, Althea pursued Sylvester passionately and it was returned in kind. After 2 years of dating, Althea and Sylvester got married and they had a honeymoon baby which was a boy that Althea named after her late brother. But adjusting to parenthood was difficult for them because of their jobs but thanks to family and friends, the couple managed to make things work and over the years, Althea gave birth to two daughters named Carmelita and Aurora before leaving the military. But those births came with huge problems.

With Carmelita, Althea suffered from post-partum depression which she eventually recovered from but Aurora's birth made Althea's mental state far worse. She started showing signs of post-partum psychosis and PTSD, even using dilaudid to cope. Her erratic and sometimes violent behavior caused Sylvester to take the kids and flee to Atlanta, Georgia once Althea was hospitalized  and he also filed for divorce.
 
Not wanting to lose her kids, Althea devoted herself to getting better and once she was released from the hospital, she joined her ex-husband and kids in Atlanta and decided to join the Atlanta Fire Department which she was able to do with relative ease thanks to her military background.

Now Althea is a firefighter saving lives but little does she know, her life is the one that needs saving the most.
