### Face claim

Dasha Taran

Engr. **Valeriya Aksinia Verano-Walsh** (née **Verano y Bonifacio**; born 08 April 2035) is the main protagonist and narrator of *Azimuth*, the fourth spin-off story of the *FLIGHT* series. She is part of the wealthy and famous Verano clan from the Philippines as the sixth child and third daughter of Nikolai Xavier Verano and Mayumi Phoebe Bonifacio. She is the younger sister of Viktor, Vasilisa, Valentin, Veronika and Vladimir, and the older sister of Vladislav and Violetta. Like her siblings, she is a licensed pilot before deciding to focus with their family's main business and be a civil engineer like her grandfathers, later on joining Verano Development Corporation, the family company's real-estate firm. During her stay in Stanford, she met her older brother's, Vladimir's, best friend, Maximilian Hervé Walsh, whom she later developed feelings after breaking up with her former boyfriend and later her husband.

## Biography

### Early life

Her conception was considered a surprise to both of her parents as they weren't originally trying for another child after having her five older siblings. According to her parents, her mother's pregnancy of her had been the most sensitive and riskiest out of her siblings, due to almost miscarrying her early on that also resulted for them to figure out of the pregnancy.

Valeriya was born on the early morning of 08 April 2035 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 07 July 2035 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 six older siblings, one was miscarried: Viktor, Vasilisa, Valentin, Veronika and Vladimir; and later on, she had three younger siblings, another one miscarried: Vladislav and Violetta. She and her siblings roughly had a two-year age gap in between. At birth, Veronika 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.
