Personality[]
expanding it.Veronica is introduced as a polite and dignified young woman who proudly serves her noble house. However, when alone with Chise, she expresses frustration at her lack of freedom because of noble lineage. In her own words: “My life has been decided from birth to death.”
When selecting a personal attendant she chose Philomela because she sensed their similar circumstances. Veronica explained that both of them are caged, just her cage is gilded.
Veronica is shown to be calculating, meticulous and strategic, even in her youth. During her birthday as a little girl, she never let her guard down and had her cake taste tested to escape a poisoning attempt by her brother. Using the chaos of Lizabeth’s scheme, Veronica covertly recovered the dangerous grimoire and assassination Lizabeth to cover her own involvement. To retrieve it, she used one of the kidnapped werewolf pups, anticipating that the mother would protect them. She confirmed its retrieval through a concealed magic mirror.
