Vera Corbin is a second-year student in Pomefiore.

Robyn (deceased twin)

## Appearance

Vera has messy black hair with a light purple underside reaching to the nape of their neck, having two pointy ended bangs slightly covering their eyes. An ahoge with a light purple color sticks out on top of their head. They have pure black eyes showing no pupils. They wear the school uniform with the coat open and a beige cardigan underneath. They have the Pomefiore vest fully buttoned as well as the dress shirt inside.

They wear the Pomefiore dorm uniform without any added details. Their hair is tied to a bun and they wear high heeled boots.

After Vera’s overblot, they have cut their hair shorter. The hairs on the side of their face are asymmetrical with the left strand being more longer while the right is short enough to reveal their ear. Their front bang faces the left now. They have changed their shoes to black boots with red laces.

### Child

Before their twin died, their hair was styled much differently from what they normally styled it to be in the present. Their hair was much pointer with every end of the hairs being a rugged shape. They wore a big beige scarf that covered their shoulders and an oversized light brown winter coat that reached to their knees. Accompanying the winter fit, they also wore dark brown winter boots with light beige fluff on the top. The boots were noticeably scratched and fragile. They sported a bandage on their right cheek, a result of their twin accidentally throwing a ball at them.

## Personality

Vera is an elusive and mischievous person who unabashedly tells lies without regret. They’re straightforward in their lies and base their entire story onto those lies, even if they’re contradictory. They’re very teasing to others, finding joy in manipulating others into thinking what they say is true. Their teasing even goes to pushing an assumption or lie onto people, making them admit it’s true. They enjoy seeing people fall for their lies so easily but nonetheless doesn’t mind others not believing them.

Vera doesn’t outright admit it but above all, lying is a big part of their-self and their way of life. Every question asked to Vera is greeted with a lie, sarcasm, or white lie, even if the question wasn’t all serious or personal. Despite this, Vera does sometimes admit that what they say was them “just kidding”. Sometimes the lies are very obvious, but at other times it can be near impossible to catch. There is never a clear motive to why they lie about a specific topic.

Besides all the lying, Vera is quite casual and laid-back. They get along with anyone they talk to immediately and don’t appear uncomfortable in meeting new people. And even though they’re known to be troublesome in their words, they do their work efficiently without getting distracted or discouraged, though the discouraged part could be a lie. Vera also likes to exaggerate events which counts as a lie for them, acting dramatic towards a moment that wasn’t even that bad.

**Post-Ob**
After Vera’s overblot, Vera has adopted a more honest and awkward personality. They’re no longer fully prepared to
participate in conversations and instead get nervous of what to say or do next, usually hesitating or leaving long pauses in their dialogue. Vera is more open about themself and even tries to prove themself as a honest to god person. Their truthfulness even goes as far as to say when they’re uncomfortable, what disinterests them, or admitting their *interests*. Their awkwardness is shown as they frequently deem everything they say or anything targeted towards them as “embarrassing”.

Having lied for most of their life, Vera is extremely nervous of their new personality, fearing that people won’t like them as much as before. They also fear that they won’t know how to make proper decisions for themself. Vera has a habit of doubting their choices if it were pointed out to be slightly unreasonable. They get severely anxious whenever their answer on a opinion based question is judged in the slightest.

Despite all this, Vera does have a determined side to them. They quickly move on from their doubts and is hopeful of their new life. They readily open up to new interests in hopes of finding something they would like as themself.

## Unique Magic

Vera’s unique magic is called “Peddler’s Disguise.” It grants them the ability to transform into a physical lookalike of another individual, as well as copy their voice.

They can only transform if they have seen the person and hear their voice. Vera has to study the person’s appearance very carefully in order to correctly copy the transformation. Vera can only withstand in transformation for 24 hrs, more than that will most likely cause overblot. Vera is unable to take off their clothes during transformation because of their lack of knowledge of what the person looks like without clothing.

## Backstory

Vera grew up in a very snowy part of Land of Pyroxene. With days mostly having falling snow, Vera and their twin, Robyn, would always play with each other outside. They both were very close siblings, protecting each others back when their parents failed to fill that role. But in reality, it wasn’t all that happy and cheerful. With their father absent due to a far away workplace and the suspicion of an affair, only their mother was there to take care of the two. More or so, the attention was mostly focused on Robyn, leaving Vera to be the neglected one of the pair. Vera’s mother favored Robyn extremely, believing them to be the better version of Vera. Vera’s mother was very harsh on Vera, continuing to verbal abuse them and compare them to their twin. This lead to Vera having low self-esteem issues and resentment towards their twin.

Robyn was the opposite of their mother. They were very kind and supportive of Vera, believing that their mother’s favoritism is not true. Robyn was never mean to anyone, having good grades and being loved by many. Robyn was clearly a contrast to Vera. Vera hated them for this, Vera wanted them to have some kind of flaw to prove to their mother that Robyn wasn’t perfect. This was of course hard to claim.

One day, Robyn and Vera stumbled upon a deep hole. As Robyn was laughing off a joke, Vera’s mind distorted the joke making it seem like Robyn was insulting Vera. Vera too deep in thought, unconsciously pushed Robyn down the hole. Out of panic, Vera immediately ran to get help.

As a result of the fall, Robyn’s leg was permanently immobile. Robyn realizes that they can’t play outside anymore for the rest of their life, which they laugh off. Vera, confused, asked why they didn’t tell everyone the truth. Revealed that Robyn lied to everyone saying they accidentally fell down the hole. Robyn then fails to keep up a cheery act and bluntly tells Vera to shut up, but immediately apologizes. It is shown that even though Vera had done something horrible, Robyn still deeply cares for them. Not blaming the situation onto them and harboring no hatred or resentment for their leg. This angers and confuses Vera. Slightly hoping that Robyn would cut out the forgiving tone and become angry at them, at a desperate attempt to search for a flaw. This plan fails to the bitter end, with Robyn dying without any resentment towards Vera.

Impacted by their child’s death, Vera’s mother becomes deluded to the point that she pressures Vera once again, manipulating them into becoming their deceased twin. Vera desperate for approval, agrees to do so. Vera begins to change drastically, acting less of their usual self and more of the memories they remember of Robyn. Over some time, they start acting even more less of themself, even forgetting how to act in their twin’s personality. Vera’s mother becomes more crazed, becoming distant and scared by their child changing significantly over the years.

Now attending Night Raven College, they still keep up their act. Lying as they speak and keeping up with a false personality that is based on no one.

## Relationships

 Anni Monie | Anni and Vera first met in their childhood when Vera and their twin accidentally punted a ball over Anni’s hospital fence. Properly seeing each other for the first time, Vera came over to her hospital room to apologize for making her faint, an incident that happened to Anni after giving the ball to Vera which Vera had to take the blame for. Unfortunately, they parted ways for a long period of time soon after.
Some time after Anni recovered her illness, Vera contacted her before their arrival to NRC because of them not knowing who else they’re familiar with that goes to NRC. Anni happily chatted back, the two then became friends over text. As time went on, the two of them now became close friends, trusting each other very much. But it seems to be a one-sided trust, seeing how Vera still lies to Anni and doesn’t tell her about their twin’s death.
 Mother | Vera absolutely despises their mother, harboring a huge amount of resentment towards her. They silently blame her for their twin’s death which can be seen as true since the pressure of her heavily comparing them to their twin drives Vera to have extreme self-esteem issues and a complicated hatred towards their twin. Their mother is shown to hate Vera as well, seeing their twin as the better version of them.
After the death of their twin, their mother becomes deluded to the point that she pressures Vera once again only for her to manipulate them into becoming their deceased twin. Vera desperate to gain her approval, agrees to do so, beginning a long journey of lies they make up for most of their life. After some point of time, Vera’s mother becomes more crazed. Becoming more scared and worried by her child watching how they change significantly over the years.
 Robyn | Vera has an extremely complicated out look on their twin. They harbor resentment and jealousy over them because of their mother’s favoring towards their twin. At first, they seem to care for their twin to some extent, as seen when they get excited to play outside with them. Vera’s twin was a very kind and considerate person, not caring about their mother favoritism and thinking that Vera was as equal to them. Because of that kindness, Vera grew a depressing mindset of believing that all the insults and neglect towards Vera were well deserved while their twin deserved better because of their lack of flaws. Vera grew extreme hatred towards them, wanting them to show any flaw or insult to Vera so that they can deny their mother’s claims of them being perfect. Unfortunately, this was hard to claim. Eventually while looking down a deep hole with their twin, they unconsciously pushed them. Vera at first thought that their twin would hate them and lash out on them for the permanent broken leg they caused but surprisingly they protected Vera, saying that they accidentally tripped down the hole. This made Vera even more angry, asking them why they didn’t tell everyone the truth. Faced with the harsh reality of never walking properly again, their twin bluntly tells them to shut up but immediately apologizes afterwards.
After the death of their twin, Vera develops an unhealthy personality by pretending to be their deceased twin. Eventually they fail to copy their twin and instead lie profusely out of the uncertainty of what choice their twin would make in their life.
