## Background

Veranda and her brother were born to King Paitoon and Queen Nin in their birthplace of the Kingdom of Yoshkok. She now resides in Yo Shi Nam within its attraction, the Old Black Tower, alongside her team consisting of her best friend Kate Ming, who is also from Yoshkok; Joe, who is now the Tower’s first baker; and Bunlai (aka Bunny), who is the new head of the Yosh Authorities. She is additionally accompanied by a quartet of Yosh village children and the wise spirit Kien, whom she can see on her own free will due to absorbing powers from her ring in which she was trapped in for 28 years, which is the reason why she has magical abilities.

## Personality

Veranda has the heart and mind of a true leader. She is devoted to the welfare of her subjects and friends. She is shown to hold her brother in high esteem and looks to him for inspiration. Like the ones who freed her, Veranda values keeping promises no matter what and has a strong dislike of a shaming her loved ones to the point where she can take on more than she can handle. Like the one who helped her and Damien defeat William in his final form, she has a personal approach to leadership and a regard for her own personal safety. Unlike her, Veranda is very confident, so much that she can be careless. Also unlike her who is quite particular, Veranda can rush into things and miss key points. A villager noted this through a story, a way of telling her she wasn’t ready to own the Old Black Tower alone. Veranda was reluctant to take advise when she became the Championess Crown, while Lauren can take too much advise on how to inherit the throne of America. She is also shown to love Christmas because she sees it as a party where everyone you know and love is invited.

## Appearance

At twenty years of age, Veranda is a brick beige-skinned girl with a slender figure and blue eyes. She has ruby red lips and long, straight, black hair with an emerald crown on it.

Her signature outfit is a green dress similar to a sabai, only it shows her bellybotton. It consists of a green Yosh bra formed around the chest and a stomach piece with a frilly part. It also has a long green skirt and she wears sandals.

She also usually wears a green ball gown during formal parties. It consists of a fantasy-like dress which can show one of the legs. She also wears high heels.

When in the outdoors,

## Powers and Abilities

At the age of sixteen, Veranda was given the Ring of Kayosh from her father King Paitoon on her birthday. She also has a magical flute which was once owned by a troublemaker before Damien took it away from him, saddening him. Both items possess powerful magic and can be used when necessary. The flute can play any magical tune to solve puzzles and problems, while the ring has a wide array of abilities that generally work to protect its bearer. She has also the Moonstone Charm, which can cast any spell, such as “sweeten”.

As a result of being trapped within the ring for a score and eight years, Veranda has absorbed some of its powers. This is the reason why she has the powers to meet and interact with gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures, revive people, and transform into her own spirit without its magic as theorized by Kien at any rate.

Since falling into the legendary crystal spring of Gaborone during a mission with the Maiden Quest Club, Veranda has gained more powers such as exposing lies. Not only that, but she can use magic by expressing emotions, which she is trying to control.

Here is a list of all the colors her dress might change into depending on the emotions:

* Red: Anger
* Orange: Embarrassment
* Yellow: Joy
* Green: Normal
* Blue: Sadness
* Purple: Fear/Stress
* Pink: Love
* White: Calm
* Rainbow: Forgiveness

## Other information

Veranda is shown to love her friends and family, helping others, festivals, Yosh food, her homes, ballet, and going on adventure. She doesn’t like being careless, ashaming her loved ones, when Devon judges her, and when others tell her what to do. She dislikes any treason against her and threats to the Old Black Tower. She hated William with a burning passion as he was the one responsible for killing a foreign leader and some of his cabinet thinking he was in America. She can’t lie or play unsafe either.

Veranda is royalty, as she is from the royal Yosh family. Her twin brother is Van, her parents are King Paitoon and Queen Nin, and her grandparents were Paitoon’s parents. She has an unnamed aunt and a cousin named Utandu.
