## Biography

Vanessa is a daydreamer and is often lost in her own little world. She loves writing poetry and reading and is a little like Mallory. She wants to be a poet and speaks in rhyme often, which drives everyone crazy. When Mallory wrote a play based on her family, Vanessa became "Ranessa." Mallory used one of Vanessa's poems in her play. In Claudia and the Little Liar, Haley calls her a brain saying that she's really smart.

She shares a bedroom with Mallory. She is a slow-poke and has to be woken up 20 minutes before everyone on school days so she can be ready for school on time. She'd ask Mallory if the weather was sunny or cloudy before getting up so she'd know what to expect when she got up. When Mallory left for Riverbend Hall Boarding School, she got her own room for awhile, but then she shared a room with Margo and Claire. Nicky now gives her the weather report.

She entered her family into a contest about having an old fashioned Christmas and won, leading to the family being followed around by cameras for a holiday season.

Vanessa and her family have gone on vacation to Sea City, New Jersey, every year for a long time. She once had a crush on Chris at the ice cream parlor in Sea City and writes him poems. He thinks that Mallory wrote them. Vanessa decides not to correct him and writes one last poem pretending it's from Mal.

In Abby and the Mystery Baby she gets upset when her family starts writing poetry themselves, but eventually is pleased that everyone liked poetry so much.

In Kristy and the Cat Burglar she had went through a "Harriet the Spy" phase.

In Kristy in Charge Vanessa starts to teach poetry to her siblings after getting inspired by Mallory teaching. She eventually starts to force her lessons on her siblings via blackmail and being strict. The rest of her family rebels against her until they come to a compromise.

Vanessa becomes a cheerleader for Kristy's Krushers. Dressed as one of the Tree Stooges with Charlotte and Haley to cheerlead Krushers' World Series. In Abby the Bad Sport she and the other cheerleaders cheer for the Special Olympics Unified Team.
