Disabilities (Physical or Otherwise): N/A
Mental Illnesses: N/A
Addictions: N/A
Allergies: N/A


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: Missing by Evanescence

Fears: Being taken advantage of, being vulnerable

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 an officer in the U.S. Navy 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, 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, even earning a Silver Star for her bravery and heroism. During this time, she had married her longtime sweetheart Joseph Summers, having 3 kids 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. Veronica was very good at her job to the point where she was considered lethal and after 8 years in the Marines, she left and decided to join the FBI with her kids in tow.

Within a year, Veronica found herself in the Counterintelligence Division, working in the Counterespionage Section. She had made quite a name for herself and after 4 years of being there, Veronica decided to join the BAU, seeing it as her ultimate call in life and has been there ever since.

Health


Smoker - No | Drinker - No | Drug User - No

Disabilities (Physical or Otherwise): N/A
Mental Illnesses: N/A
Addictions: N/A
Allergies: N/A


Personality


On the surface, Diana is soft-spoken and polite as well as warm and compassionate. Motivation and cheerfulness are also a part of her daily routine. Her biggest personality trait is her calm, "zen-like" nature. Diana rarely loses her composure and is always there to offer support and wise advice to anyone who needs it. She's an intellectual and it's not surprising that she's intelligent and studious given her occupation.

Diana is an extrovert who's always on the go, participating in many events, activities, and hobbies. She's even-tempered and doesn't get violent unless she's defending herself or her loved ones, being slow to anger. Diana is humble and good-natured as well as a pacifist, preferring to use words instead of force when interacting with the public. She's very loyal and dutiful towards her family and friends even to a fault which can definitely work against her. Diana is also very generous, never afraid to help people with financial matters.

But for those who truly know Diana, they see a very different side of her. She's highly passive-aggressive and displays anger, hatred, bitterness, and stress in a suppressed but still very detectable fashion. Diana is filled with melancholy, rancor, and sullen indignation primarily as a result of the various trials and tribulations brought upon her as it mostly relates to her past relationships and family. Due to her overwhelming stress, unforthcoming nature, and tendency to hold her feelings in, she has been known to express herself in ways that are unhealthy, passive-aggressive, and at times even volatile and explosive. Her reputation in the community has been a major reason for her restraint and unhealthy expressions of pent-up rage.

Very intuitive, Diana always has some idea of what's going on without things being directly revealed to her. At the same time, she often feigns ignorance to certain matters that she's well-aware of. Diana is indeed quite two-faced when she's going through conflict with someone. She acts loving and content with them when in public but in private she becomes bitter and saturnine towards them. Crossing Diana is not a wise thing to do as she will scheme and plot to make them as miserable as possible or if she's angered enough, she'll lash out at them and hurt them to the fullest.

Theme Song: We're Not Making Love No More by Dru Hill

Fears: Not being good enough, losing everything
Favorite Color: Red
Hobbies: Martial arts, sports, reading
Tastes In Music: Diana listens to music that is positive and inspirational, wanting to relax and be in a good mood.

Family, Friends, and Foes



Family
Mother: Renee Trang (nee Nguyen) | Lawyer | Alive
Father: Lester Trang | Pastor of Second Chance Ministries | Alive
Older Brother: Dante Trang | U.S. Marine | Alive
Daughter: Judith Hawkins | Alive
Husband: Miles Hawkins | Paramedic | Alive

Past: Diana's childhood was raised in a strait-laced Christian household. Her mother Renee was strict and sometimes harsh while her father Lester was more gentle and kind. Being the daughter of a famous pastor was difficult for Diana since she was always subject to scrutiny and constant monitoring thanks to the church members being rather nosy and not knowing when to mind their own business.

Because of the constant pressure and judgment, it wasn't a surprise that Diana began to rebel against the teachings of the church. She became sexually active at age 15 and had a string of relationships, all of which ended badly. When she graduated from high school, Diana began to date one of the reverends even after she entered college to become an OB/GYN.

After Diana graduated with her Bachelor's, she discovered that she was 2 months pregnant. When she tried to tell the reverend she was dating, she discovered that he had gotten married to another woman whom he was actually cheating on with Diana. Instead, Diana told her parents about her pregnancy and they asked who the father was so they could arrange a wedding. Her mother added fuel to the fire by giving her an ultimatum: get married or get an abortion.

Diana's older brother Dante had a best friend named Miles Hawkins who had been in love with her for a long time and always pined for her affections despite her constant rejection of him. Knowing about the situation that Diana was in, Miles offered to marry her and raise the baby as his own. Although Diana initially rejected the idea, she decided to go through with it when she realized that the reverend was playing her and he voiced his opposition to her upcoming marriage.

Before Diana knew it, she was married to Miles and 7 months later, she gave birth to a daughter that she named Judith. Diana has now been married to Miles for 7 years and is currently enjoying her career as an OB/GYN and raising her daughter to be the best person she can be.

Mental Illnesses: N/A
Addictions: N/A
Allergies: N/A


Personality


One word to describe Miles would be rare. He has a rich inner mind and a surprising way of reacting to the world around him. Being different leaves him feeling alienated and even causes him to experience certain levels of self-doubt.

Miles follows his own set of morals and beliefs and hates being shoved into a box. He will often push against anything that is traditional simply because he doesn't enjoy not being allowed to be himself. Miles also despises when other people are forced into a role that does not make them happy. He believes in standing up for people which can often make him appear different from others. Miles doesn't fit into what society believes is "right" or "normal" and will definitely go his own way. He has his own way of looking at things.

Miles is in touch with a more emotional side to himself but he's not overly emotional by any means and prefers to keep his feelings to himself. He is independent and private which makes his emotional side only visible to those closest to him. Miles does have a rather compassionate nature and will come to the aid of those in need. He enjoys helping people when they are in pain and wants to be there for people as much as he can. He is in touch with the world around him and won't hesitate to come to someone's defense if they're being bullied or harassed. 

Miles is an independent and introverted person who enjoys plenty of time to himself. He prefers to spend time with his favorite people rather than go to a raging party or event. He also prefers quiet time and would rather spend time focusing on real encounters. Miles can sometimes appear moody or distant simply because he requires time to himself. Sometimes he is feeling drained and needs to separate himself from others. Because of how empathetic and warm Miles is, this can be confusing. He is emotionally driven but he is also extremely logical. He needs time to think and process things on his own which can throw people off sometimes and even cause them to become hurt. Miles is capable of going after what he wants but isn't always extremely forward and aggressive about it. He will express himself but he won't push anyone if they seem resistant.

Theme Song: Love Of My Life by Queen

Fears: Not being true to himself
Favorite Color: Black
Hobbies: Video games, martial arts, cooking
Tastes In Music: Miles likes all kinds of goth, rock, and metal music.


Skills

  • He's a great cook and enjoys making meals for his loved ones.
  • Just like Diana, Miles is an experienced marital artist and spars with her frequently.

Miles always had a crush on Diana and really cared about her but he was always shot down or rejected. Despite that, Miles kept trying to win her affections but to no avail. When Diana became pregnant, Miles immediately seized the opportunity to make her his when her mother gave her the ultimatum of getting married or getting an abortion.

Luckily for Miles, Diana chose marriage and they had a shotgun wedding, Diana giving birth to Judith 7 months later. Now a paramedic, Miles is enjoying his marriage to Diana, doting on her and Judith with undying love and affection.

Mortal Kombat OC





"Life is hard but not impossible."

~~Basic Information~~

Name: Zuri Diana Briggs

Meaning: Zuri means "beautiful" in Swahili.

Age: Varies

Birthday: October 31st

Gender: Female

Height: 5'9

Weight: 180 lbs

Occupation: United States Special Forces

Codename: Mirage

Attire Description: Example 1 Example 2 Example 3

Outstanding Marks: Zuri has various tattoos: "Kenya" on her upper right arm, "Kwame" on her upper left arm, "Crystal" on her back with a diamond underneath, a dragon on her left calf, a scorpion on her right calf, and a red rose on her stomach. Zuri has many scars all over her body from her time in the Special Forces.


~~Specifics~~

Race: Human

Origin Realm: Earthrealm

Resident Realm: Earthrealm

Alignment: Good

Powers/Abilities: N/A

Faction: Special Forces


~~Personality~~

At first glance, Zuri seems like an introverted, classy ice queen. She is quiet, troubled, brooding, grim, moody, seemingly emotionless, intelligent, studious, and sarcastic. Zuri can always come up with a snarky and sarcastic remark and her wittiness knows no bounds. She is quite mature, often giving advice to others about various subjects and generally staying cool and calm no matter how desperate the situation is. Around strangers, Zuri is often emotionally restrained, appearing secretive and distant as well as spending most of her time by herself. It is difficult for her to build trust in anyone and even more difficult to truly forgive if that trust were to be broken. Zuri doesn't like to mince words and says whatever is on her mind no matter what, having no tolerance for stupidity. Her mouth can be quite outrageous to the point of being humorous. She doesn't change for others and doesn't compromise when it comes to her morals and values. With Zuri, it's her way or the highway.

Once someone is able to get close to Zuri, they are often shocked to see a different side of her. One that's creative, passionate, and affectionate. She will also express more emotion around the people she's close to and is very loyal and caring towards them, even willing to fight for them if need be. Zuri doesn't get intimidated and can be quite vindictive when angered even to the point of violence. Because of her history with being bullied, Zuri still struggles with low self-esteem which she hides by putting up a tough, emotionless front that can be prone to anger, mood swings, and overall outbursts. Extreme emotional highs and lows are part of her nature, but she can hide emotions tidily and look absolutely collected from the outside. She often hides her emotions under the shell of pretended indifference or egoism, but actually she is a very sensitive person, who can be hurt easily by negative treatment. She feels everything deeply, but her emotions often are twisted up in contradictions.

Zuri has a very good intuition to the point of often reading other people's minds. She is smart and charming, ever-alluring and highly seductive. Zuri is willful and resistant to rules that are forced upon her and she also hates when anyone tries to dominate her. Zuri is possessive and wants all or nothing from the people that she's close to. She is the type of person who never forgets when someone is nice to her and also never ever forgets when someone is mean to her. It takes her a long time to let go of grudges and she always remembers who was at fault in any given situation.


~~Biography~~

Zuri was born to Crystal Briggs and Beau Willie Brown. Her parents were fresh out of high school and Beau enlisted into the U.S. Army while Crystal took up a job as an assistant to a large CEO. Crystal adjusted perfectly to her job while Beau was having a difficult time adapting to military life and his mental state began to deteriorate slowly but surely.

When Zuri was 5, her younger siblings Kenya and Kwame were born which resulted in Beau leaving the military when his contract was up. He tried to find a job but it was proving difficult due to his PTSD and alcoholism. To make matters worse, Beau had started to become abusive towards Crystal and it wasn't uncommon for Zuri to go to school with bruises on her body. Although CPS was often called on the Briggs family, nothing came of it due to Beau's aggression and temper scaring them away.

Zuri lived in constant fear and anxiety for many years until the unthinkable happened. When she was 12, Beau had dropped Kenya and Kwame out of the window of their apartment building. Since they were on the 5th floor, they died instantly. Zuri and Crystal had tried to save them but they were badly beaten in the process. Beau was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault with his sentence being life in prison without parole.

Sadly this did nothing to quell the grief and pain in Crystal's heart and six months later, she committed suicide by overdosing on pills. Zuri had come home from school and found her body. Her crying and screaming had alerted the neighbors who called the paramedics and Zuri was taken into foster care.

The police had contacted her uncle Jackson Briggs who had joined the Special Forces shortly after Zuri was born but lost contact with Crystal due to Beau's abusive ways. Jax and his wife Vera instantly took Zuri into their custody, raising her alongside their daughter Jacqui.

For the first time in her life, Zuri was able to experience the true love and affection of family although it was difficult for her to open up to everyone because of all the trauma that she had went through. Zuri showed an interest in joining the Special Forces much to Jax's chagrin and on her 18th birthday, she finally accomplished that dream although it caused a strain between her and Jax for quite some time.

2 years later, Zuri found herself romantically involved with a fellow soldier named Liam Park and their passionate love affair resulted in Zuri having a daughter that she named Naomi. But their relationship came to an end when Naomi was a year old due to Liam struggling with his sexuality and Zuri deciding to let him go. But their break-up was amicable and they promised to always remain friends at the very least.

Zuri is now enjoying her career in Special Forces while also raising her daughter and co-parenting with her ex the best she can.

Yu Yu Hakusho OC

~~Introduction~~

Name: Mary Jane Veronica Mustang

Nicknames: M.J. (by everyone), Roni (by everyone)

Age: 18 (at start), 22 (at end)

Species: Human

Race: Puerto Rican and Italian

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Birthday: November 5th

Life Story: Mary Jane's mother was very immoral, promiscuous, and devoid of all manner in her youth. Her sexual adventures resulted in Mary Jane and her older brother Benjamin being born and she had to give up her lifestyle to raise them by herself without either of their fathers around. At the age of five, Mary Jane was molested by a man named Ichigo that her mother was dating. Although he was thrown out of the house and arrested, Mary Jane internalized the pain and began to go down a dark path while her mother became a Christian and worked various jobs to keep her family afloat.

Starting at age 7, she began stealing and lying compulsively and by age 13, she was hanging with the wrong crowd, becoming sexually active, and running away from home. On Mary Jane's 16th birthday, her mother became fed up and kicked her out of the house. In revenge, Mary Jane stole her mortgage money and became an escort to support herself.

Mary Jane is currently in college, working hard to make herself successful and doing whatever it takes to survive.


~~About Her~~

Personality: Mary Jane 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. Unprincipled and unscrupulous, Mary Jane often engages in rather questionable activities and thuggish behaviors such as conning/robbing, being an escort and mistress, engaging in elaborate forms of blackmail, etc.

Personality

Jessie has no shame when it comes to her body or sexuality. Carefree, youthful, and wild, she's a seductive, flirtatious temptress who is up for anything and everything. Her open-mindedness knows no bounds. Jessie is careless, selfish, and manipulative, enjoying the money and attention that comes with her job. Dancing, flirting, and drinking are her middle names alongside sex and money.

Shockingly, Jessie firmly believes that family is everything and has strong family values. She's more maternal and mature than people deem her to be and can be quite the domestic person behind closed doors. For some people, Jessie's presence can be very comforting almost like a mother comforting her child.

It's no surprise that Jessie has a slight fear of commitment and is uninterested in monogamy. Whenever feelings rise up, she bounces with a quickness and gets quite uncomfortable. Despite her domestic side, Jessie doesn't wish to be tied down because she doesn't want to get hurt again. Her track record with sexuality and relationships isn't the greatest and she uses her wild lifestyle as a way to numb and heal herself from all of the pain that she has felt as a result.

Getting close to Jessie in an emotional sense is like pulling teeth and trying to tame her is nearly impossible. She does whatever she wants whenever she wants. Jessie is proud and confident as well as outspoken, brash, straightforward, highly protective of her loved ones, and unafraid of confrontation. Her candor and honesty is something to be appreciated by many as well as her loyalty to those she loves. Judging isn't her style and she will support anyone who comes to her for advice.

Appearance

Face Claim: Jennifer Tilly

Scars: N/A
Tattoos: Jessie has a tattoo of a stabbed heart with the name Elliot above it on her chest.

Dress Style: Jessie dresses primarily in the Gothic fashion, embracing it fully.



Family

Father: Aaron Maye | Gynecologist | Alive
Jessie got her carefree, wild attitude from her father and it definitely shows. Although her father has calmed down a lot due to having a family and career, he fully acknowledges the fact that Jessie is just like him when he was her age. Because of this, Aaron and Jessie get along incredibly well and have a close bond expected of a father and daughter. However he often worries about her because of her lifestyle and is very protective and paranoid when it comes to her well-being to the point of being comical.

Mother: Crystal Maye (nee Hong) | U.S. Army (former); Paramedic (current) | Alive
Jessie shares her confidence, brashness, loyalty, and candor with her mother. This can lead to them butting heads rather frequently especially since Crystal disapproves of Jessie's lifestyle and makes sure that it's known. It's gotten to the point where their fights and arguments have become a way of endearment for them, often exchanging sarcastic and cynical quips and remarks towards each other. But Crystal truly loves Jessie and simply wants her to reach her full potential as well as have a more strait-laced lifestyle.

Twin Brother: James Maye | Welder | Alive
Being twins, it's expected that James and Jessie have a great relationship despite being opposites in terms of lifestyles. But unlike Crystal, James is more understanding and supportive towards Jessie although he too disapproves of her lifestyle and wishes she would make something better of herself. Like their father, James is very protective of Jessie's well-being but is far more grounded in reality compared to him and prefers to watch over her from afar rather than use Aaron's borderline helicopter approach.

Younger Sister: Candace Maye | Unemployed | Incarcerated
Candace looks up to Jessie and idolizes her. Unfortunately her desires to emulate her big sister have landed her in prison for 5 years. Jessie loves Candace dearly and prefers for her to just be herself instead of copying others. Jessie's non-judgmental approach alongside her loyalty is pivotal to her relationship with Candace due to the somewhat strained relationship with their family that they share. In a way, they're the black sheep of the Maye family and this is the main thing that brings them closer together with their own special bond.


Past: From a young age, Jessie showed a unique disposition that her family didn't always know how to handle. This made her the black sheep in the Maye household but it was all in good nature and Jessie learned many good things from her family that she still holds dear to this day.

Her closest friend was a boy named Elliot Austin who was also very rich and a trust fund baby. Despite them being from two different worlds, Jessie and Elliot were attached at the hip and as they got older, their relationship quickly became romantic and she lost her virginity to him at age 15.

Unfortunately their bliss didn't last forever as Elliot was diagnosed with AIDS at age 17 which he contracted from being sexually assaulted by a serial killer who had escaped from prison. He was given six months to live and was deteriorating rapidly.

Jessie refused to leave Elliot's side and support from his family, friends, and overall community was immense as his last days approached. Elliot eventually passed away a week after his high school graduation with Jessie and his family by his side.

In Elliot's will, he had left his trust fund to Jessie, calling her the love of his life and thanking her for being by his side all this time. The grieving and depressed Jessie decided to go to California to start a new life and made a solemn vow to never open her heart up to anyone else again.

She became a stripper at a well-known, high profile LGBT nightclub called The Rainbow Mile, not wanting to live off of Elliot's trust fund and preferring to treat it delicately as well as adding to it over time.

Now Jessie currently lives in Los Angeles, enjoying her occupation and new lifestyle but deep down feels like something is missing and uses those things to hide the pain she feels.

Personality

Veronica is very confident and outspoken in her opinions and seldom likes being told what to do. She has gained a significant amount of intelligence over the years due to her love of books, which have provided her with an elevated vocabulary, an active imagination, and an open mind. Despite all this, Veronica doesn't have many friends. Her smarts and unconventional, free-thinking attitude make her stand out amongst her peers who regard her as a little odd behind her beauty.

Veronica is not concerned about her or others' appearances and is able to look past how people appear and see into their hearts. She refuses to be mistreated, undermined, humiliated, demeaned, or controlled by anyone. However Veronica will consider the opinions and directions of those who treat her as an equal and encourage her as well as believe in her, showering them with admiration, love, and most of all respect.

She is quite resolute when it comes to stating and upholding her opinions and maintaining her ideas. Even though Veronica dreams of adventure, she also wishes for someone who accepts her for who she is. This is because nearly everyone in her life criticizes her for doing her own thing and does not understand her, which makes her feel like she does not fit in.

Veronica is quite witty and is able to use this trait to her advantage and outsmart people. Cunning comebacks are a specialty for her and she can come up with one without much thought or hesitation. Veronica has a strong sense of character and is able to use this trait in a variety of ways, often to her own advantage. Similarly, she also has a strong sense of deductive reasoning which definitely comes in handy in accordance to her occupation.

Likes: Literature, adventure, respect, romance, animals, waltzing
Dislikes: Selfishness, manipulation, rudeness, disrespect, confinement, arrogance

Fears: Failure, being alone

Appearance

Face Claim: Michelle Rodriguez

Scars: Veronica has many scars on her body from her military career.
Tattoos: N/A

Dress Style: Veronica dresses like a casual tomboy most of the time but is perfectly capable of dressing in a more feminine fashion when she needs to. She likes to be comfortable at all times as well.



Family

Mother: Maria Ortiz | Unemployed | Incarcerated
Veronica doesn't keep in contact with Maria and has lost all respect for her over the years. She has practically disowned her and doesn't consider her at all. As far as Veronica is concerned, Maria doesn't exist. Her hatred and contempt for her mother runs deep to the point where it almost terrifies her.

Father: Cesar Castro | U.S. Army | Deceased
Veronica was a daddy's girl and she truly loved and treasured Cesar. Losing him tore a hole in her heart that still exists to this day and she honors his memory by being the best person she can be. Veronica got her love of literature from her father as well because of him reading to her when she was a child. It is those memories that Veronica probably cherishes the most and holds nearest to her heart.

Stepmother: Julia Castro (nee McKenzie) | Lawyer | Alive
Veronica considers Julia the mother she never had and treats her as such. She loves her dearly and is very grateful to her for being there when her mother wasn't and for loving Cesar alongside making him happy. Julia dotes on Veronica and considers her her own daughter. Because of her career choice, Julia worries about Veronica's well-being to the point of being overbearing at times. She respects Veronica's intelligence and wants her to tap into her true potential which Veronica is unsure about.


Past: Veronica's parents were high school sweethearts fresh out of graduation when she was born. Cesar decided to enlist in the Army as a combat engineer while Maria worked as a waitress at a local restaurant. While Cesar was away at Basic Training, Maria had an affair with a local drug dealer and left Cesar, stealing from him and taking Veronica with her.

In response, Cesar took Maria to court and the odds were in his favor, the judge awarding him with 50/50 custody. Unfortunately Veronica had to be exposed to her parents' constant battling and her mother's verbal and physical abuse towards her. Being bullied and outcasted by her peers for her intelligence and thought process just made things even worse for Veronica and she had a depressing, lonely childhood as a result of it all.

The only solace Veronica had throughout the years was her father and his new wife Julia who showered her with the love and affection that she desperately needed in her life. Filled with rage and jealousy over Cesar moving on, Maria began stalking him and Julia as well as alienating Veronica from them which lead to her running away to some points.

When Veronica was 13, she ran away one last time to her father's home and refused to go back home to her mother. Maria's response was coming to Cesar's house and shooting him multiple times in front of Veronica. Julia arrived home to find Maria trying to kidnap Veronica which lead to a large fight between them, resulting in Julia badly injuring Maria. The paramedics and police arrived within minutes but sadly Cesar was dead on arrival.

Maria was arrested and charged with Cesar's murder and since he was a high-ranking solider in the Army, the case was very high-profile and had lots of media attention. Despite being traumatized and filled with sorrow over losing her father, Veronica testified against her mother and exposed her for the monster she truly was. Maria was charged with third-degree murder and sentenced to death.

Following the trial and conviction, Veronica struggled with depression and grief to the point of self-destruction. She became known for having a snarky, bad attitude despite her high intelligence and her temper was quite fiery. Not wanting Veronica to go down the wrong path, Julia took her to therapy when she was 15 and she took a long, hard, depressing look at herself and what she was becoming as a result which made her change her disposition and outlook on life.

After graduating high school, Veronica made the decision to enlist in the Army like her father, wanting to follow in his footsteps and lead a life of service like he did. Her MOS was 68 Whiskey: Combat Medic.

Now Veronica is fully experiencing military life and enjoying her newfound career but is craving something more out of life and not knowing what it is.

Age: 40 (as of Devil May Cry 5)

Relationship Status: Divorced
Occupation: Owner Of The Red Ribbon


Looks:

Height: 5'6
Weight: 146 lbs
Disabilities (Physical or Otherwise): Josephine is HIV-positive.
Mental Illnesses: Josephine suffers from PTSD and clinical depression.

Personality: Josephine is a wounded, depressed woman with a lot on her shoulders. Despite seeming like she has it together and being loved by the community as well as her family, she feels very alone and doesn't think she is worthy of love. Josephine often isolates herself from others and shuns people away from her when they try to get close to her either emotionally or physically. She can become quite defensive and angry when questioned or pushed and if she's disrespected, the offender better watch out because her temper is one to be feared. She prides herself on self-control and staying calm so it takes a lot to get her to that point to begin with.

Josephine is quite secretive and often hides things about herself from others, having a few hidden talents. She is enigmatic and rarely opens up to people if at all. She keeps things bottled up inside and has major trust issues which is why she is such a loner. Snark and sarcasm are a major part of interacting with Josephine whether it's positive or negative and her wit and comebacks are endless which can be very humorous for those around her.
 
Josephine deeply loves and cares for her family and friends and will do anything to make sure they're okay and safe. Despite appearances to the contrary, she's quite generous and is often the first to volunteer when it comes to helping people in her community and taking care of them. Being wealthy gives her the power and ability to do so which she's very grateful for and she's rather good with money, always making sure to live within her means and not caring much for a lavish lifestyle though she's not afraid to spoil herself every now and then.

Josephine has a sexy, seductive side to her that no one knows about unless they're lucky enough to get into bed with her. She has a lot of sex appeal that always oozes out even though she tries to hide it out of shame. Josephine doesn't think very highly of herself and has low self-esteem from years of abuse. She's aware of these issues and is trying to work on them one day at a time through therapy and support groups that she keeps a secret as expected.

Favorite Color: Red
Hobbies: Writing, video games, cooking, dancing
Tastes In Music: Josephine enjoys a wide range of music and has quite the eclectic taste that often surprises others.

She's a shrewd, economical businesswoman who knows how to make something out of nothing and has unmatched creativity. Josephine is a very skilled dancer, being classically trained but has never shown it in front of others, preferring to dance in private.

Past: Josephine had an upbringing that most kids dreamed of. Loving parents, awesome siblings, endless support, the works. Although she didn't have the best social life outside of the home due to being bullied a lot, her family more than made up for it and gave her the light she needed to thrive. 

When she was 18, her life changed forever when she was introduced to Earl Chapman who was 12 years her senior. He was a rich CEO who had come to her college as a guest speaker in one of her classes. Josephine was instantly charmed by Earl and it wasn't long before they started dating. He was her first everything and a year later, she became pregnant with her first son Craig. That was when the cracks in their relationship started to form.

Earl wanted Josephine to drop out of college and marry him so she could become a stay-at-home mom but she refused and wanted to finish her education first. Thanks to her family backing her up, Josephine got her way and eventually finished her Bachelor's degree in Business 3 years later. By then, Josephine was already married to Earl and pregnant with her second son Miles. She also adopted Earl's two sons from his previous marriage: Earl Jr and Ike. 

Josephine wanted to start her own business but Earl forbade it and threatened to leave her and the boys if she didn't become a housewife. He had started to isolate Josephine from her family and friends and made her solely independent on him, not allowing her to have any kind of freedom from him unless it was heavily vetted by him.

The physical abuse began on their 5 year wedding anniversary when Josephine expressed that she wanted more freedom to do what she wanted. For the next 12 years, Josephine was constantly abused, belittled, and torn down by Earl to the point where she felt worthless and it was even worse because of Earl's constant infidelity and promiscuity. 

Eventually Josephine snapped and during one of Earl's beatings, she grabbed a cast iron skillet and brutally beat him with it to the point where he was unconscious and bleeding. She quickly grabbed everything she could possibly fit into her car, including all of the evidence she had made over the years of Earl's abuse as well as money. Josephine drove to her childhood home which was many hours away and her parents were horrified when they saw how bad she looked. 

For the first time in years, Josephine was reunited with her family and finally had the freedom that she deserved. But the battle was just beginning. Earl was furious with Josephine for leaving him and tried to use his many resources to stalk and find her but her family threatened him and Josephine filed for divorce, citing abuse and infidelity with all of her evidence.

However Josephine fell gravely ill and had to be hospitalized. It was during this time that she discovered that she was HIV-positive, having been infected by Earl. She lost all will to live and fight and a week after she was released from the hospital, Josephine had decided to end her own life and went to a local bridge in the middle of the night, planning to jump from it. But she was intercepted by Dante who was returning from a job and trying to talk her down. It took two hours for Dante to convince Josephine to not go through with her plan and he decided to escort her home, continuing to talk to her as he did so. 

Meeting Dante inspired Josephine to keep living and it ignited a fire within her like never before. She started treatment for her HIV and mental health treatment as well. With her family having her back, Josephine stood up against Earl during the divorce process and thanks to her evidence against him, she took him to the cleaners despite him having good, expensive lawyers. 

Earl went bankrupt because of Josephine taking everything from him and his company went under as a result. His sons also wanted nothing to do with him because of how abusive he was over the years. This caused Earl to go completely insane and using the last of what he had, he managed to track down Josephine and attempted to kill her. But he was stopped by her twin brother and sister-in-law and arrested on the spot after being badly beaten by them. Earl was charged with attempted murder and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years.

Josephine decided to finally follow her dreams and opened up her own restaurant which became a quick success and now she's a successful businesswoman working to make the world a better place and help others.
