## Biography

### Background

Not much is known about Verosika's background, but several years before the events of the series, she became affiliated with the King of the Lust Ring, Asmodeus, and began dating an imp named Blitzø, who was also her bodyguard. Verosika was infatuated with Blitzø, going as far as to risk her rising fame to date an imp she genuinely loved. Unfortunately, Blitzø did not reciprocate her feelings and treated her very cruelly out of resentment for her being far more talented and admired than he was, as well as out of his belief that he was only playing second fiddle to her. He betrayed her trust and used her for money, such as the occasion when he stole her credit card to pay for horse-riding lessons and was implied to have not reciprocated her love for him as he did not believe that she truly cared about him, despite her constant attempts to please him. One day, Blitzø "rode off into the sunset" on horseback as a way of abandoning Verosika, which left her heartbroken and deeply embittered towards the imp, sending her spiraling into an alcohol addiction to cope with what Blitzø did to her.

## Personality

In the past, Verosika apparently had a sweet and loving disposition, as she genuinely loved and cared for Blitzø, going as far as to have his name tattooed on her shoulder and do anything she could to make him happy, disregarding the fact that dating an imp could possibly sabotage her burgeoning career and star status. However, after Blitzø used her for money, emotionally abused her, and dumped her, Verosika took on a much more bitter and irascible attitude as she spiraled into an alcoholic depression that she never quite recovered from.

Nowadays, Verosika is a seductive, jaded, and rather hostile demon who revels in her star status and adores fame and adulation, in other words, a broken shell of her former self. She also cares for her public image and has attempted to nurse her alcohol addiction, but has frequently relapsed as she disdains rehabilitation centers like the Hazbin Hotel, claiming that rehab is for "sad, loser washups". She is very spiteful, unforgiving, and is unafraid to insult and/or humiliate towards those who have wronged her, as shown by her pettily stealing Blitzø's parking spot, insulting his family, and even sexually assaulting Moxxie as she still holds a bitter grudge against him. Even when Blitzø attempted to apologize for all he did to her, she simply cut him off, laughed, and called him "pathetic". As shown by tapings of *Hell Idol*, she is a "mean" judge who is not afraid to point out other people's shortcomings, disguising disparaging insults with a sweet tone and empty terms of endearment.

Despite her rude and impudent personality, Verosika does show a more friendly side and is capable of respecting her friends, though she can be commanding towards them. She is also outgoing and friendly towards Asmodeus and Fizzarolli, and bonded with Striker and Robo Fizz over their mutual disdain for Blitzø.

## Powers and Abilities

### Natural Powers

* **Demonic Transformation**: Verosika can voluntarily shift into a stronger, more powerful Full Demon Form, as well as easily shift back to her normal form.
* **Immortality**: She possesses indefinitely an infinite lifespan.

### Unique Powers

* **Pleasure Inducement**: Verosika can use her singing voice to induce sexual arousal in humans, turning them into sexual deviants and leaving them craving sexual activity. This power appears to only affect humans, as Vortex and I.M.P seemed unaffected by her singing despite Verosika being in relatively close proximity to them.

### Weaknesses

* **Chastity Belts**: Like all succubi, Verosika's seductive powers can be dampened by a chastity belt, an insidious, magical belt which cannot be removed without a specific key. The belt gives any succubus wearing it a painful electric shock and essentially tortures them whenever they experience sexual feelings or attempt to engage in sexual activities, thus depriving them of what they need to survive. Prolonged use to a chastity belt can eventually kill succubi, whether it be from the draining electric shocks, or they essentially starve to death from lack of sexual intercourse.
* **Divine Intervention**: Like any other demon, she is completely vulnerable to angelic weapons and powers and those who possess superior power over her.
* **Recklessness**: Verosika has been shown to be rather reckless and complacent, carelessly tossing a bottle of Beelzejuice into a nearby ocean, which transformed a nearby catfish into a demonic creature when it consumed the bottle's liquid, which ended up causing her to lose her deal with I.M.P soon after.

## Relationships

### Allies

#### Fizzarolli

While they have not been seen interacting yet, Verosika and Fizzarolli are stated to have a very friendly relationship, with her joining the jester in ridiculing Blitzø after he ridiculed the imp's love life. They are also co-judges on the popular reality show *Hell Idol*.

### Enemies

#### Blitzø

"*Oh, Blitzo?
I used to date him
I'd stroke him, I'd fellate him
Yeah, but when it was my turn
He did no reciprocatin'
A selfish Imp in the sheets
And just as bad in the streets
A reckless, heart-breaking **freak***"
— Verosika singing about her and Blitzø's relationship in "House of Asmodeus".

Blitzø is Verosika's ex-boyfriend. Verosika fell deeply in love with Blitzø after hiring him as her bodyguard, with them officially becoming a couple at some point. She went through great lengths to show her love for Blitzø, even getting a tattoo in his name (which she later had crossed off following their breakup). Unfortunately, Blitzø did not reciprocate her feelings as he did not believe that she truly loved him. He also harbored some resentment towards her since she was talented, loved, and admired, everything he feels he isn't. Overtime, he felt as if was only playing second fiddle to her since she was a famous pop star and he was essentially a nobody at that point. He used her for her money, even stealing her credit card behind her back, and emotionally manipulated her to his advantage. He was also very ungrateful towards Verosika, not even acknowledging the fact that she was endangering her reputation and career by dating an imp. Tired of supposedly living in Verosika's shadow, Blitzø abandoned her and literally rode off into the sunset on horseback as a way of breaking up with her and never having to face the consequences for doing so, leaving her completely heartbroken and deeply embittered towards him. This affected her so badly that it essentially made her into the jaded, alcohol-addicted demon that she is in the present.

It is implied that on some level, Blitzø does regret hurting her, but deluded himself into believing that she would have eventually broken up with him and that their split was inevitable.

In the present, Verosika and Blitzø are deeply bitter towards each other in the present; they constantly argue and hurl insults at each other and only speak negatively about the other, with him throwing around misogynistic insults and remarks about her promiscuity, alcoholism, eating disorder, and calling her a whore. Verosika retaliates by insulting Blitzø on his family, business, selfishness, and incompetence. Despite their animosity, the two are capable of sharing minor comedic interactions, such as sharing a quick laugh over a human resources joke.

When Blitzø discovered that Verosika's superiors punished her for the incident with the fish demon by outfitting her with a chastity belt, he took pity on her (although he did initially mock her situation before realizing how serious it was) and offered to help her remove it. She accepted his help although claiming that it would not make up for all that he did to her in the present. While on the mission to help rid herself of the belt, he and Verosika found themselves in a death trap, and Blitzø blamed Verosika for being the one responsible for their current situation. The succubus angrily said that they would not been in the situation if Blitzø wasn't a "selfish asshole". After an argument, Verosika emotionally told Blitzø that she gave everything for him, which clearly affected Blitzø and left him in silence. Blitzø was eventually able to free the succubus from the chastity belt but found that she was slowly dying from her lack of sexual activity as a result of having to wear the belt. After getting her consent, Blitzø begrudgingly had sexual intercourse with her to save her from a painful death. Afterward, Blitzø began scrolling through old images and videos of Verosika and himself, even finding a video of Verosika singing a song in Blitzø's honor which she never got to sing to him as it was recorded on the day before he left her. Here, he finally realized that she really did used to love him, which brought him to tears out of shame for what he did to her. The next morning, Blitzø attempted to apologize to her for everything he did to her emotionally, but found himself unable to properly convey his remorse, leading to her cutting off his apology and calling him "pathetic".

#### Asmodeus

Verosika and Asmodeus were very friendly, casual, and amiable towards each other, as he was the one who made her a star and allowed her to be a member of his inner circle alongside Fizzarolli. Asmodeus trusted her enough that he regularly gave her and her posse clearance to travel to Earth in order to spread lust and perform concerts. They had a relationship almost akin to a daughter and father, although they never refer to each other as such; whenever Verosika headed out, Asmodeus usually tells her to take care of herself and gives her a set of rules like a dad would tell his daughter when she heads out to party with friends, and whenever the King of Lust denied her something, she appeals to his softer side by saying "pretty please" with a high-pitched voice, which is usually enough to convince him.

Although he usually had to be forced into it, Asmodeus was still willing to punish Verosika and her crew whenever they step out of line or cause trouble on Earth that would potentially attract attention to Hell, as the I.M.P blackmailed her by threatening to expose her involvement in the demonic fish to her superiors. Indeed, when news of Verosika's stunt reached Asmodeus and the King of Gluttony, Beelzebub, the two kings punished Verosika by fitting her with a chastity belt, which would have slowly killed Verosika overtime by depriving her of sexual intercourse (which succubi need to live). When Verosika begged Asmodeus to help her, the King of Lust admitted that he did not want to punish her in such a torturous manner, but stood down when Beelzebub was adamant about it. When Verosika was fitted with the belt, Asmodeus looked away, possibly out of remorse or shame at what he allowed to happen.

In "A Complete Shitshow", Asmodeus mentions that Verosika has been giving him the cold shoulder and seemingly hates him after the chastity belt incident, strongly implying their friendship has ended, at least on Verosika's side.

## Quotes

### Season 4

"***Blitzø**: Why you gotta be so fucking jaded all the time?!
**Verosika**: Because you came along, fuckstick. And I can't get a moment's peace, EVER.
**Blitzø**: (he gasps) Oh- Oh no! (screaming) The POP STAR can't get a moment of peace! AW BOOOO-FUCKING-HOOOOOOOOOO! (Blitzø dramatically swerves and steers the van in different directions while making dramatic crying noises, knocking and running vehicles off the road in the process) You signed up for this, bitch! Suck it up! It's what you're good at!
**Verosika**: (she grins to herself) You're right, I did choose this. A life of luxury, adulation, and fame. And you chose your mediocre existence of being a no-name with an embarrassing little pet business. That's gotta suck, bro.*"
