Celine Farach

Capt. **Vasilisa Alyona Verano-Buenviaje** (née **Verano y Bonifacio**; born 04 September 2027) is the main protagonist and narrator of *Flight Time*, the seventh book of the *FLIGHT series*. She is part of the wealthy and famous Verano clan from the Philippines as the second child and oldest daughter of Nikolai Xavier Verano and Mayumi Phoebe Bonifacio. She is the younger sister of Viktor, and the older sister of Valentin, Veronika, Vladimir, Valeriya, Vladislav and Violetta.

## Biography

### Early life

Vasilisa's conception was planned, when her parents decided after her older brother Viktor's first birthday that it was time for the latter to have a younger sibling. Roughly two months later, by New Year's Eve of 2026, her mother found herself pregnant with her.

Vasilisa was born on the early morning of 04 September 2027, two months before her brother's second birthday, at Hôpital Necker-Laennec Enfants-Malades, Paris, France to Nikolai Xavier Verano, Chairman of the Verano Group of Companies and President of Verano Development Corporation, and Mayumi Phoebe Bonifacio, President of Malyari Air; and was christened on 11 December 2027 at Santuario de San Antonio Parish Church at Forbes Park, Makati, Philippines, before being followed by a reception at the McKinley Ballroom of Alethea the Fort, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Philippines.

She had an older brother Viktor; and later on, she had eight younger siblings, two were miscarried: Valentin, Veronika, Vladimir, Valeriya, Vladislav and Violetta. She and her siblings roughly had a two-year age gap in between. At birth, Vasilisa had her own fair share of stocks from the Verano Group of Companies, the same as her siblings, which she was bound to personally own when she turned eighteen years old.
