[b]PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS[/b]
[indent][color=gray]Equal parts easily excitable and hard to bring down, Vera displays more happiness than anyone likely has a right to given the state of the world, and especially the state of her home. The type to view every day as a new, wonderful opportunity, every stranger as a friend she hasn’t met yet. She isn’t quite dense to the natural cynicism of the world, though she doesn’t often try to assert her optimism as better, rather she tends to accept the views of others and present her own in kind. To her, bringing a few happy moments when necessary is more important than trying to outright change another’s philosophy, and even in the hardest cases, Vera always manages to find a silver lining, be it in situations or people. 

While generally light hearted, Vera can at times display a caretaking maturity. Still unrefined and more reactionary than anything, dealing with trauma is something she learned growing up in the Jackspar home. Often times Elizabeth would end the days a broken wreck, and Vera was glad to be a source of comfort for her. The reclusive Ms. Jackspar never saw her daughter’s breakdowns like she did, never woke up to find Eli in a fit of silent panic, or clawing at her skin like she couldn’t feel it. Celina learned the signs to Eli’s problems, how to order her into preventing them, but Vera learned how to [i]fix[/i] them, at least temporarily, and for better or worse, this is largely why the older girl never received professional help. 

With the discovery of a potential future as a pilot, Vera has come to realize that she’s spent much of her life thus far as an emotional lifeline to her sister. She doesn’t resent this, and wouldn’t for a heartbeat consider abandoning her, but she can’t help the gnawing lust for an adventurous life not tethered to another. If she could have that, and still be close to Eli, it would all work out. Right?[/color][/indent]

[b]PERSONAL HISTORY[/b]
[indent][color=gray]Vera was too young to remember her parents leaving, but knows that she was born in what was then Smith’s Rest. Over the years she’s come to understand that the Voloshyna’s were in fact the only family close to the Jackspars, which to her was enough to explain why she was given to them. It never seemed to affect her, even when she was old enough to understand the implications of her situation she never harbored any anger against her parents. She had a home, a mother, and a wonderful sister, to her that was plenty to be happy about. 

Eventually however, Vera started to notice cracks. The once warm and caring Celina Jackspar slowly discarded her façade, revealing a cold, calculating woman who shunned her in favor of focusing on her daughter, Elizabeth. And yet Vera was still not deterred. She’d grown attached to the girl, who had in turn grown attached to her, and by the time Vera was cresting nine the two were all but inseparable. So it came as no surprise that when Eli was accepted into the NC program that Vera was brought along as well.

What did surprise them was the possibility that Vera might end up in the cockpit of an NC too. Having been at the facility through vicious assaults and quiet lulls, she’s at least been made aware of the many risks the job entails, yet she’s signed herself on all the same. Now over a month out of surgery, and under the near constant watch of her sister, for the first time Vera is at least somewhat certain of her future, a future she chose. Even through the post-op debilitation, the girl has never been happier.[/color][/indent]
[b]INFLUENCE & RELATIONS[/b]
[indent][hider=Pilots]
[b][color=6ecff6]Elizabeth Jackspar[/color]:[/b] [color=gray]Vera’s sister in all but blood, the two share an unbreakable bond. Despite being well younger, Vera does as much worrying for Elizabeth as she receives in turn, and has never shied from being a pillar of comfort for her, especially when they were younger.[/color] 

[b][color=0076a3]Stein Kalfox[/color]:[/b] [color=gray]Vera likes to view all of the pilots as role models in some capacity, but thus far she’s learned the most from Stein. The Volkov girl reminds her a lot of Eli, so approaching her was never very difficult, talking even less so. Which was good, because without Stein’s confidence in her, Vera might not have made the last push towards becoming a pilot. Now, she considers Stein one of her closest friends and a mentor, despite being aware of her sister’s distrust, silent as it may be.[/color]

[b][color=lightsteelblue]Percy Moore[/color]:[/b] [color=gray]Vera will never stop feeling sorry for Percy. A single father with a big heart fighting for his daughter, it doesn’t hurt that daughter is one of her best friends. In all honesty, she doesn’t understand why everyone treats him like the base’s punching bag, but the fact that he never seems to stay down for long is something that’s endeared Mr. Moore to her as something of a hero. A dorky, pun-cracking hero with a slew of apparent issues, but a hero nonetheless.[/color]

[b][color=f7941d]Ryn Dradht[/color]:[/b] [color=gray]Vera was ecstatic to see another kid on base, and when she found out that Ryn was a [i]pilot[/i] as well, she became one of the coolest people in the world. She isn’t blind –or perhaps more appropriately, deaf– to Ryn’s standoffish nature, but finds herself more often than not laughing it off like its some sort of joke, even if she does endeavor to leave compliments behind to those she berates. Maybe there’s more to Ryn than a sharp tongue and bitter outlook, maybe there’s not, but Vera finds her company pleasant all the same.[/color]

[b][color=808080]Alan Fouren[/color]:[/b] [color=gray]Vera is glad to have someone like Alan around. Lighthearted, quick-witted, even if he might not be the most experienced, she can at least level with that. [/color]


[b][color=8f735b]Tahlia Styles[/color]:[/b] [color=gray]One of the people Vera’s had admittedly little interaction with. She knows Tahlia has experience, which is cool, and she also knows her NC has a bunch of legs, which is arguably cooler. Regardless, she’s glad to have her around, even if they haven’t spoken much –something Vera plans to fix.[/color]

[b][color=ffd1dc]Madison Cole[/color]:[/b] [color=gray]The closest Vera ever got to really meeting Madison was standing outside of her room in the infirmary. A shame, cause she’s almost certain she could have been great friends with anyone who dyes their hair pink.[/color][/hider]

[hider=Others]
[b][color=crimson]Celina Jackspar[/color]:[/b] [color=gray]The woman who was effectively Vera’s mother most of her life, she has mixed opinions about the reclusive woman. While she’s endlessly grateful that Celina took her in, witnessing first hand her brutal, determined nature has instilled a distinct fear in Vera. The woman is not right, of that much she’s certain, but she’s also collected, clever, and above all, dangerous.[/color]

[b][color=violet]Ana Moore[/color]:[/b] [color=gray]The first real friend Vera made on base, and one of the closest. Vera’s met less than a handful of people with as much energy as Ana, and even if the younger girl has her reservations, she’s enjoyed every moment of their friendship. Deep down, she worries if perhaps she’s been a bad influence, intentionally or otherwise, and even if she’d love to feed Ana’s adventurous side would never purposefully put her in harm’s way.[/color]

[b]Michael Graham:[/b] [color=gray]Though it seems to be a split topic among her friends, Vera doesn’t share the nebulous distrust that surrounds him. She has no reason to dislike him, and in fact appreciates how he treats her like an adult. He seems to have New Anchorage’s best interests in mind, and she has a hard time believing he would do anything to put innocent people in danger.[/color]

[b]APPEARANCE[/b]
[indent][color=gray]Standing on the shorter end for her age, with blonde hair nearing her back and wide, lively green eyes, Vera is not an imposing child, which is more than fine by her. It’s rare to see her without a smile on her face, and rarer still to see her frown. Even in darker situations she always appears to at least be [i]trying[/i] to smile, if for no other reason than to offer a warm look to anyone who might need it.

She tends to dress similarly to Elizabeth, if not a bit brighter. Jackets over bright shirts with a scarf on occasion draped ‘round her shoulders. However, the girl’s staple is without a doubt the ushanka that rarely leaves her head. A memento from the family she never knew.[/color][/indent]
