* Promo
* Technolomy

**Veronica Magdanus** is a genius researcher who is the leading expert on the study of Witches, Qualia, and emotional energy. Though knowledgeable, Veronica has an eccentric personality and is considered a mad scientist. She often concentrates too much on her research, which causes her personal life to fall apart.

## History

### Chapter 6 - *Shadows in Ice*

In order to help Lisette gain the ability to sing, the 9th Regiment heads out to her laboratory in the eastern forest. Once they arrive, Veronica helps Alto tune Lisette and then repairs the paths inside her heart. Once this is done, Lisette still cannot sing but Veronica is unable to help further, and thus Lisette is forced to confront her own emotional troubles to realize her true potential as a Witch.

After the Eclipse occurs, Veronica explains the backstory of the world to the party and that she had known of the truth behind the Anthem all along. Having witnessed multiple Eclipses over several millennia, she grew tired of intervening, realizing the self-perpetuating vicious cycle involved.

### Chapter 10 - *The Celestial Hymn*

After the Tuning Knights are formed, Hilda reveals to the group that Veronica is actually a surviving Technolomy who has been watching over the Earth for around five thousand years. Veronica has Alto tune himself to see the truth behind Elcrest, Xeno, and the Witches of their time, and after seeing the party's resolve to defeat Mother Qualia again, she decides to join the fray.

### Veronica's Ending

Several months after the Eclipse, Veronica has Alto collect the wings of rogue Angels left behind, having them brought to her laboratory. When Alto wonders why she needs them, Veronica reveals her intention of going on a long journey. Surprised by her answer, Alto questions Veronica of her destination and reason, and is asked by the doctor to sit down. Upon taking a seat, Alto is strapped to the chair and Veronica reveals she had remodeled her laboratory into a spaceship.

She explains that, with the Eclipse over, she no longer had an interest in Earth. She reveals their destination: the neighboring planet Mars, and her desire to investigate it for signs of life. Despite Alto's objections against leaving Mithra and Earth behind, Veronica halfheartedly comforts him by stating "home is where you make it". The spaceship launches into space, with Veronica cackling hysterically to herself while Alto begs her to take him back to his village.
