Veronica

> "Please refer to me as Kujikawa-san." - Veronica, to most poeple.

Veronica Kujikawa is Rei's daughter and one of Tina's best friends, the other one being Ginny.

She has a minor crush on Rick and is aware that Ginny has a major one.

She's one of the possible love interests for Rick.

## Before the Fall

Veronica grew up with only her mother, having no idea who her father is. She was named after Rei's favorite character in an animé she was watching at the time, something Rei apparently takes great pride in.

When she was eight, she enrolled in a new school where she met with Tina for the first time. The two of them became fast friends and remained close over the years. Two years later, Ginny enrolled in their class and became part of their group.

Several years later, when the monsters started appearing in the world, she escaped with Rei, leaving Ginny and Tina behind for a brief time but a few months later, they were reunited in one piece.

Veronica was sure that because of the fact that she and her mother had escaped, Tina would hate her but the opposite happened - Tina hugged Veronica and cried tears of joy, having been worried sick about her friend. Ginny asked Veronica to not do that again and Veronica just agreed.

## Relationships

### Rick and Veronica

Rick is the only man that Veronica has ever allowed to refer to by her first name, which she admits is a combination of having a crush on him and being someone close to Tina.

Rick thinks of Veronica as a polite young woman who sometimes struggles with expressing her thoughts, but the two of them get along well.

### Carla and Veronica

Carla rarely interacts with Veronica but what few times they do, Veronica is surprised to find out that Carla lacks a known last name. Originally, she asks that Carla refers to her as "Kujikawa-san," same as with most people and intended on using Carla's last name but upon finding out that Carla lacks one, she tells Carla it's fine to just call her "Veronica" in that case. Carla, respectfully, calls her Veronica-san, figuring that the "-san" suffix was important to her. Veronica calls Carla "Carla-san" in return.

### Tina and Veronica

Tina and Veronica have known each other for many years. The two of them are close friends and while they sometimes bicker, the two of them always make up in the end. The two of them have great respect for one another, with both of them often discussing every day life issues.

### Ginny and Veronica

Ginny and Veronica didn't get along initially but soon grew close, though they both admit it's likely due to Tina being a common friend for the two of them. While Veronica is more withdrawn about her desires and thoughts, Ginny is the opposite - she often flat out says what she's thinking, not caring about consequences. The two of them get along well and both of them are aware they both have crushes on Rick.

### Rei and Veronica

Being a mother and daughter couple, the two of them are often speaking Japanese to each other as it's their native language. Despite being very different from one another, with Rei being more of a recluse, she truly cares deeply about her daughter and Veronica is happy to have Rei as her mom, saying that her life wouldn't have been the same if she had another mother.

### Esmeralda and Veronica

Veronica and Esmeralda rarely interact - not because they don't want to, but because they have little in common. That said, Esmeralda has a one-sided crush on Veronica, something that Veronica is perfectly aware about and is flattered about. The rare times the two of them do interact, it's mostly due to the settlement being attacked and they need to help each other out.
