[[ Name ]] Veronica Signoretti
[[ Age ]] 21
[[ Gender ]] Female
[[ Eyes ]] Amber
[[ Hair ]] Dirty Blonde
[[ Height ]] 5'5"
[[ Birthday ]] November 19
[[ Horoscope ]] Scorpio
[[ Category ]] Resident
[[ Abilities ]] Veronica uses lightning. Obviously then, she is immune to it. She channels it mostly through a wand she has, but she doesn't need it to utilize her powers, being capable of using her fingertips. She often whirls her staff around, shooting bolts as it spins. If she so wishes to, she can use any part of her body, including her hair and clothes, to unleash lightning. She has excellent control over what she does but pretends not to, enjoying the "accidents" that occasionally happen when someone's too close to her. To gather static, she only needs to create friction.
Her abilities include but are not limited to:
[[ Skills ]] Veronica is extremely talented at picking locks. There has not been a lock she has broken through. This helps her kleptomania, which is also aided by her near-perfect poker face. Veronica is capable of bluffing her way through almost anything. She is also very good with fashion and make-up, never looking bad a day of her life. The static electricity always around her gives her a spark of life that few people have. It is said that she could walk through a tornado, mud storm, and hurricane, and still come out looking like a Vogue model. Veronica also has a photographic memory, so if someone pisses her off, she remembers the face and will hold a grudge for up to several years at a time, depending on the severity of the situation.
[[ Weapons ]] If completely out of static and incapable of getting anymore, Veronica can rely on these weapons:
[[ Accessories ]] Veronica's gloves are woven out of highly protective metal cloth to shield her if she is caught unawares. She is very jangly, wearing lots of bangles both on her wrists and around her waist. Veronica has a choker on her neck with a lock attached to it. This is symbolic of her talent of picking locks and also her ability of unlocking anyone who dares cross her. All this jewelry can make it very difficult for her to get around quietly sometimes, so stealth isn't her best area. Veronica tends to rely on quick hits to dispose of her opponents.
[[ Weaknesses ]] Veronica above all hates psychics, telepathics specifically. She can't handle them. They get into her head too easily. Water strengthens her, wind can't divert her lightning, fire does nothing. Earth (and this means rocks, dirt, soil, etc, not trees) is the element she is least effective against. She isn't all-powerful, but telepathics are the only ones who can defeat her immediately because of their ability to mentally incapitate her. She also can't hurt spirits and the occasional powerful telekinetic. Veronica is at her best against elementals; when going against pure magic, the longer the battle lasts, the less her chance of winning. As stated previously, Veronica must also continually store electricity inside of her to utilize her lightning bolts. Without them, she is just an above-average teenage girl with lethal aim. Last but not least, music, especially loud, screaming music, has the power to distract her and throw off her aim.
[[ Appearance ]] Veronica has been described as very beautiful and capable-looking. Because she knows she is beautiful, she has the tendency to flaunt it and can be quite the flirt when she puts her mind to it. Her skin is olive-colored, matching her dirty blonde hair and amber eyes. She commonly wears green and gold together because they match her specific coloring. Her belt is ringed and can be used to conduct lightning if she so wishes. When she wants to be striking, which is often, Veronica will put on her flashy ribbons (Wing of Leora, also used for defensive purposes), which are wrapped around her upper left arm and appear almost feather-like.
On cold days, Veronica will wear a green shawl. She is also often seen with fingerless gloves with green ribbons crisscrossing her forearms. When she lets her hair down, it is past her waist, but she usually ties it up in two pigtails and two small braids statically lifted off her head for an antennae effect. Veronica is also prone to highlighting or otherwise coloring her hair when she is bored with her appearance, which happens often.
[[ Personality ]] Veronica is a compulsive liar, capable of spinning the most outrageous tales and does not trust anyone. She is wily and knows the ways of the world. Nothing much surprises her, or if it does, she doesn't show it. Veronica doesn't owe the world anything, so it doesn't matter what other people think and how she treats them. Overall, her attitude is very icy and even close-minded or cynical. Her intuition is almost always right on, extremely helpful when she's battling (Battling will not be a focus of hers however). Because of her past, she lives realistically and doesn't allow herself to dream. She is quite voilatile and her words are often veiled and difficult to discern the true meaning. She is very observant and won't always speak up, content on watching the world go by without her and self-destructing. It is her way to put on many faces so no one ever really knows who she is.
Veronica has an attraction to unstable people. If he's bad, she'll want him. If she's a bitch, she's Veronica's new best friend. If she finds someone attractive, she will pursue him until she loses interest, even if he is already taken. She also has no qualms about the person being a woman if she is attracted to her enough. Anything is up for her to be tried. She will occasionally smoke, drink, or even do drugs if the fancy strikes her. A risk-taker is one (or two) words to describe her. At times, Veronica can be a cold-blooded killer. She can change sides on a whim, therefore not being bothered when called a traitor. Veronica doesn't refrain from swearing and thinks prudes are too idealistic. She is very capable of protecting people but thinks it unworthy of her time unless there's something in it for her.
[[ Background/History ]] Veronica's birth is unique in that she has no parents. Like the goddess Aphrodite, she is born of Nature. Veronica was created when a bolt of lightning struck a slab of marble. She was discovered and adopted by a descendant of Zeus, the ruler of Olympus, and Veronica was raised in the village of Alamac. There, she led a relatively normal life, although treated a little differently because of her birth. Her father was the domineering one while her mother passive. Her family moved away when she was 12. From there, it spiraled downward. Now in Los Angeles and a naive, inexperienced child at that, Veronica was lured unwittingly into a dangerous world. She met the wrong group of people and got into drugs and drinking. There, she also developed her kleptomania and worked on improving her lightning powers. It irritated her that because her form was that of a woman's, she could not protect herself as well as a man could.
At the age of 16, sick of her many misdemeanors and arrests, her parents picked Veronica up and flew her back home to Alamac. She was pushed into a boarding school and told to go find herself there. Veronica took that as she was too much for them to handle and that she should go piss off and start living on her own. Needless to say, that didn't go well. She took off as soon as she could and rarely mentions where she disappeared to during that time. Five years later however, she has come to Kironin, if only because she has nowhere else to go.
[[ Desires ]] She's mastered her powers, so no need to improve them. She can fend for herself in the real world. At the moment, she just wants to have a place to live for a while. Once she's settled in, she'll be occasionally picking fights, but her end-goal will end up becoming more like how she used to be before her "corruption."
[[ Extras ]] Veronica hates naive people. This is largely because of her own hate for herself and destroying who she used to be, but also because she thinks they're stupid and just looking to suffer.

To gather static, she only needs to create friction.
Her abilities include but are not limited to:
- Lightning Storm: Unleashes lightning bolts all over the room or area she is in. Her most powerful attack because it literally covers the place with lightning and hits 99% of the time. Veronica must charge for this and store electricity in her body in order to pull this off, so she does not use it often.
- Lightning Strike: A weaker version of Lightning Storm that hits 75-90% of the time. It is not as lethal or powerful and can range anywhere from 1-10 bolts, becoming more accurate the more bolts there are.
- Lightning Spike: Lightning shoots out from the ground, hitting unsuspecting opponents. This is probably her most effective ability because it is hidden so well and is difficult to detect.
- Lightning Spiral: Lightning that attacks like a spiral: this attack shoots from twelve directions toward one particular spot. It cannot be redirected once used.
- Lightning Rail: A wall of bolts that is fired toward her opponent. It acts as a fence to protect her.
- Lightning Ring: A ring of lightning that circles upward and then shoots bolts down into the ring. Next to Lightning Storm, this takes up the most energy.
- Reflect Bolt: Using geometry to shoot lightning at a different angle than previously thought aimed. Veronica will use different reflective surfaces to shoot her shot around until it hits her intended target. Once she fires it, it is no longer in her control and if misaimed even the slightest bit, will miss.
- Fry: An instant hit that can paralyze her enemies for up to half an hour depending on his strength of will and immunity to pain. It appears as a flash and immobilizes whoever or whatever it hits.
- Lightning Rod: Attracts power to her and recharges her strength and health. If someone is attacking her, she can use this ability to absorb the power and take it on as her own.
- Static Electricity: The ability to just give off static shocks of varying degrees. The person must either touch her or be just mere millimeters away.
[[ Skills ]] Veronica is extremely talented at picking locks. There has not been a lock she has broken through. This helps her kleptomania, which is also aided by her near-perfect poker face. Veronica is capable of bluffing her way through almost anything. She is also very good with fashion and make-up, never looking bad a day of her life.

[[ Weapons ]] If completely out of static and incapable of getting anymore, Veronica can rely on these weapons:
- Amalgam: What Veronica uses to channel her lightning and her main weapon. She is skilled with it because of practice and also being a master of the baton. She throws with excellent accuracy and knows how to bounce it off hard surfaces to reflect it at an unsuspecting opponent. If she needs to, she can use the bottom, key-like part to slice, the top part to spike or stab. When not in use, she keeps it hooked to one of the rings on her belt.
- Ring of Zeus: A ring passed down from her family that contains a large amount of lightning in it. She uses this mostly as a back-up storage, but Veronica can also shoot bolts from it. She wears this on her right index finger. The crystal is transparent, the band gold.
- Wing of Leora: If in need of sudden protection, Veronica can activate the feather-like ribbons on her left arm to create a powerful static shield in front, to the side of her, or behind her. The only flaw is that it can only protect one side of her and can't always protect her upper or lower body at the same time.
[[ Accessories ]] Veronica's gloves are woven out of highly protective metal cloth to shield her if she is caught unawares. She is very jangly, wearing lots of bangles both on her wrists and around her waist. Veronica has a choker on her neck with a lock attached to it.
