## Background

### Official Description

Vanessa Ro Merrell is a 24-year-old American 2nd year university student. With the help of her amulet, she has powers based on the Greek mythological figure, Hydra and can transform into a spirit.

### Appearance

Vanessa turns green in her spirit form. When she transforms into a Hydra, she has a basic Hydra form.

## Personality

She shows immaturity and playfulness like her peers. But gets serious while fighting Chase or helping her friends study or research. Vanessa deeply cares for her older twin sister, Veronica and felt betrayed when she moved with the rivals. After realising that Veronica is Hydra and Vanessa has the same powers as her sister, she decided to use these powers for the good.
