She likes to keep her hair short, doesn't really care about getting herself dirty, and dislikes people giving her differential treatment for being a woman. To this end, she often tries to take up opportunities to show off, and grows restless if she has nothing to do. Backstory Description Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Veronica's family moved to America when she was 4 years old, moving to New York City and residing in Queens. There, she grew up among three older brothers as her mother and father took jobs as a nurse and a taxi driver respectively. She grew up learning from her brothers how to act and how to look after herself, which was different from most girls she grew up with, though she had no trouble with bullies or abusive boyfriends. Once she graduated out of high school, she saw an opportunity to join the US army, as her father had described their family's long tradition of soldiers, revolutionaries, and partizans back in Russia, both among the men and women of their ancestors, and gave her encouragement to show that it wasn't simply a man's profession. During her Basic Training, Veronica showed difficulty with both accepting authority and the physical demands of the course at first, with her actually have to retake Basic Training after her original class graduated into the army. Her second attempt was much better, and she passed her various exercises with acceptable performances. She served time in Iraq and Afghanistan as a heavy weapons specialist in an Ordinance Battalion, ranging from disassembling the parts of disarmed IEDs, preparing small artillery units, servicing RPGs, LMGS, and participating in several raids upon insurgent strongholds. She made several tours over there before returning home and settling into assisting in the training of new specialists in her branch of the army. Given her active role and steadfast performance, she was offered a chance to join the Strategic Homeland Division, a Division created to ensure that American society would not fall apart in the event of a major disaster or catastrophe. Considering that she was not even an American citizen by birth, Veronica felt great pride at being offered the opportunity to join this Division, and she took up their offer, though she also wondered if the day would come that such a division would ever be needed. A couple years passed, her father died of old age and mother obtained dementia, and her brothers had long left New York to other parts of the country to find other jobs, but eventually that day came on the infamous Black Friday. Surprised, but undaunted, Veronica stuck to the obligations she had made and reported for duty as the ensuing chaos swept across America, and the city she called home.

She likes the thrill of being in the thick of the action during such moments, but hates being pinned down.
