## Biography

### Early years, Supernatural hunters, marriage

Vera was born in Spain in 1625. She was from an ancient family of vampire hunters. She married another vampire hunter (not by blood but by job), Paolo Rivera from Seville, when she was 18 years old. In 1645 she gave birth to their son, Sebastian.

In 1649, when Great Plague of Seville broke out Vera’s mother and two her younger brothers got sick and were dying. Her father didn’t want to lose a half of his family and his beloved wife so he decided to save them with a curing spell but was tricked by a witch and the whope Delgado family was cursed with a vampire curse. Sebastian lived with a foster rich family who lost their children so he was not cursed.

Anyway, Vera’s family was healed. She had troubles with adjusting to vampire lifestyle, she hated being a vampire. Otherwise, her family one by one begun to enjoy their new lives. They changed and Vera hated this.

In 1653, when Delgado family had lived in Pamplona, Vera was out to Seville to visit her son. She took him with her to see his grandparents, uncles and aunts. However, the moment they entered the house they saw a frightening scene: Vera’s whole family was killed; mother, sisters and younger brothers had stakes in their hearts, father and an elder brother were decapitated. Vera had no doubt – it was Paolo, he couldn’t forgive them for turning into monsters. Vera took Sebastian and by the first ship they sailed to France. For over a year they were on a run from a vicious husband and ended up in Denmark. It was hard for Vera to run with a child, she didn’t want him to be in a constant fear, stress and danger. She made her mind to let him go. She found a rich widow who didn’t have an heir. Vera told Sebastian that his name from now on was François. She pretended she was terminally ill and begged this good old woman to take her son into her house and take care of him. Nora Van der Merwe accepted the child and took care of "ill" Vera. One day later Vera said goodbye to her beloved son and promised him she'll come back for him. She compelled Van der Merwe’s doctor that she died that night and he buried her on the town’s cemetery. When lady Van der Merwe asked to show her and François the grave of his mother, doctor totally forgot the place.

For the next ten years Vera had lived in France and then in England. She came back for her son in 1664 but a young man who met her told that her son died last year and lady Van der Merwe died two months ago. Vera was heartbroken. She blamed herself for the fear she felt for her husband. She came back to France and for almost a hundred years had lived in Lille under the name of Valeria Trouvé. She resumed her vampire huntress job and became very violent.

### Phase 2

The actual story starts for Vera with her encounter with a teenager Roger Posey in Miami. Roger's grandparents used to be vampire hunters and had a book with the prophecy that Vera wanted to borrow. Rogers stuck with Vera and didn't want to come back home. Roger reminded her about her son so she allowed him to travel with her. Roger's best friend Finn Salling came along without Vera's permission. A year later Vera got scared that something might've happened to Roger so she brought him and Finn back home and asked them to graduate and maybe later she'll consider their joining her.

In 2015 Vera was possesed by a shadow witch and came to Ruby Creek, where the prophecy was supposed to happen. Roger and Finn decided to come to the rescue. Along the way they met Bas who couldn't believe his ears when they told him they were looking for a vampire named Vera. Bas and his wife Deborah joined them and the path led them to Ruby Creek right before the sacrifice.

After the resurrection Vera finally met her son who she thought had died many centuries ago.

### Phase 3

Vera, Bas and Deborah were searching for vampire hunters through the U.S. Roger and Finn were training with them.

### Phase 4

Vera was killed by the end of the phase. In the phase 5 everybody learned it was Rose who killed her. Rose justified her actions by accusing Vera of killing vampires and betraying her own kind.

### Phase 5

Phisically Vera didn't appear in phase 5 but her son Bas tried to avange her mother. "I won't leave till the crazy bitch is dead". When Rose was killed by Clyde who killed himself right after this a broken Dan asked Antonio: "Are you happy now?". Antonio answered: "Pretty much" and left with Deborah and never came back to Ruby Creek.
