PERSONALITY
HISTORY
As the years went by, Vera grew up. Soon she was to begin middle school, and she was very nervous. After breaking the ice with a group of girls that she became good friends with, she realized it wouldn't be so bad. Ver loved middle school especially English class. Unlike many of the other students, she liked the reading assignments the best because it allowed her to apply the lessons her father had taught her throughout the years. She was a very hard worker, and got the idea in her head that she wanted to be a writer.
In the ninth grade, a tragedy happened that changed her world forever. Miles had bought tickets to take the family to New York City for a Yankees game. It was something Vera and her father had talked about doing ever since she was a little girl in T-ball. He managed to acquire excellent seats to the game, and Vera couldn't take her eyes off the field for a second. After the game, it was nearly impossible to find a cab, so Miles insisted that the family take the subway. Lily insisted that the city was dangerous, and she didn't want to risk anything. Along the street, the family caught a man threatening to shoot another man. Miles got in the middle of them and tried to calm the fight. Vera could had cowered against her mother in fear, and just when it appeared the confrontation had been resolved sirens went off. The man with the gun was surprised and a shot went off, hitting Miles.
Vera doesn't really recall much from that night. She remembers her fear, her overwhelming grief, and anger but that's it. When the doctors at the hospital said they couldn't save him, Vera's world came to a halting stop. Lily put their house on the market and moved the family to a small town in New York. Vera's mother was never really the same after that, and the girl had to learn how to take care of herself.
She finished high school with high grades and attended college for criminal justice at NYU. Vera wanted to go into the force to avenge her father's death, and she wanted to find the son of a bitch who killed her father and bring him to justice. Her mom opposed her decision, but Vera was past the point of caring. After completing college, Ver became a homicide detective. She was very good at her job, and she moved up the ranks pretty quickly. Every time she was given a case to the Bronx she prayed she would find her father's murderer. It consumed her to the point of obsession, and when she eventually found him and brought him in for mugging she still felt empty inside. His imprisonment wouldn't bring her father back, and that killed her.
After working with the NYPD for three years, she turned in her badge. Vera was terrified of what she had become, and she moved back to Rhode Island to 'rediscover herself.' She got a job working as a homicide detective with the Rhode Island Police Department. Not long ago, she sent in an application for the CIA. One of her friends told her to do it for fun. She was accepted, but she has yet to decide whether or not she wants to join. Ver loves her job, but she feels like she needs a change at the same time.[/ul]
