**Vera Vespid** is a Swarm Monger Druid portrayed by Xeno as a Player Character in *Check Please!* season one and season two.

## Description

### Appearance

Vera Vespid is a human elf half breed. Her appearance leans more on the human side and, while covering her telling half-elf ears with her hood, appears human to those who are not deeply familiarized with elven facial structure. Vera has conspicuously silver eyes that are particularly rare to see in the regions that Vera resides in. Her physical appearance is slightly androgynous having slight feminine qualities. She has a highly toned / muscular build that has been built over years of training and work. On top of that, she has prominent tanning on her arms, legs and from her chin to the middle of the ridge of her nose, at which point a noticeable anti-tanline can be seen from the below the eyes up, caused by the hood that she wears at nearly all times. In her first appearance Vera wears a green tunic and quarter-caped hood, these are covered by leather armor with the addition of a leather shoulder pauldron on her left shoulder and leather straps connected to a knapsack with bottles stored along the outside. On Vera's back is an apiary that is constructed in a stacked pyramid design that houses a single apiary frame. Later on, the leather armor that Vera wears is blessed by the Divine Honey of the Font of Melifera. The leather was replaced with divine amber, giving it a royal gilded look as well armoring the loin cloth she used to wear, giving it a resemblance of a wasp abdomen.

Scars: On Vera's body is a litany of scars. One long cut from a near fatal wound from mid left rib, across the spine to hip. The scar has healed incorrectly and is contantly inflammed/irritated due to the skin overlapping and healing out of place. Additionally, there are two small holes from a spear under her right rib and a well healed scar from a blade on the right side of her waist.  And finally a burn scar of the back of a gauntlet bearing a unknown marking.

## Biography

### Early Life

Little has been revealed about Vera's early life in the campaign as of yet. Of the events described by Vera, it is known that she has stated that she was saved by Melifera early in life and devoted her life there after to the goddess. Before meeting the party in the Dead Man's Rest, Vera had been leading a separate Hive in another area, alongside her Hivekin Paladin, Bahren. This Hive was later attacked and destroyed. It has also been revealed that prior to the campaign, Vera had received many scars and burns, including a gauntlet burn and a horrific scar reaching across her back.

## Relationships

### Sol

Vera is openly hostile and racist towards Sol from their first introduction, showing intense distrust and dislike and slurring the elf as a "keeb". Vera lightens up to Sol throughout the campaign as they start to help Vera in her mission to rebuiled the Hive, becoming what Vera considers to be a sibling of hers ( a term Vera uses to define those who are part of her Hive family). Vera holds Sol in the highest light possible, given Vera's broken interpretation of relationships and friendships.

### Markus

Due to the nature of Sol being a high elf and Lovette originally threatening Markus and Vera, Markus was the first individual that Vera put her original trust in when joining the party. However, the two of them butted heads multiple times throughout their travels, and the halfling was commonly on Vera's nerves. However, this came to a head when Vera found out that Markus had eaten the soul of Moira, whom Vera considered weak and deserving of her protection. Vera eventually confronted Markus on the issue, thinking of him as nothing more than a monster and parasite , she told him that he could either sacrifice himself to get the souls back, or Vera would kill him herself. After Markus freely gave his life for the soul retrieval ritual Vera's view on Markus drastically changed. Vera considers Markus in his own way as a hero of sorts, believing that self sacrifice for the good of others is worthy of such a title.

### Lovette

Vera and Lovette's relationship is complicated to define. Although they could be considered friends in a normal sense, any friendship/acquaintance Vera is exposed to includes a significant mental barrier that impedes Vera from being able to make full true friendships with those outside of her Hive; something stemming from a difficulty to trust those not in said Hive. That being said, Vera has confided multiple times in the gnome on multiple topics including emotion and her past. While visiting the Steam Isle, Vera found that she related to Lovette's past trauma as well as her mental state. For the most part, Vera cares for Lovette and aims to keep them safe. However, Vera's friendship with Lovette may have permanently changed slightly after Lovette admitted she may have lied to her and the rest of the party in order to have them kill her rivals.

### Archie

Vera initially considers Archivald "foreboding" and unnerving, owing to Vera's veneration for living things and Archie's non-living status.
