Personality: Vera Volesky is a blunt and sometimes rude, borderline sadistic individual. A lot of people don’t like her, but the few that are patient and get to know her understand it just takes a bit to see what a kind person she is. The way she cares is more along tough love. She’s honest on a surface level, telling people exactly how she feels, if she cares about the person and they express their hurt at her words she will try to explain in a different way but she won’t lie. At her core though, she feels deeply. So deeply it pains her sometimes.
Vera will cry at stories she hears, her primary emotion she feels is anger even though it’s backed by fear, pain and sadness. Don’t mistake her tears as a weakness though, she’s an angry crier. Sometimes when she’s crying she is at her scariest. She wants to protect those who didn’t deserve what was brought upon them. She’s harsher and uncaring with most men, will question and argue with them, while with women she’s a bit more insecure. Her empathy almost manifests into rage and hatred because she thinks there are simple solutions to people's problems but everyone is too brainwashed, weak, dumb or power hungry to do anything.
It makes her miserable.
Vera truly does care but she’s not nice about it. Apart from that, people describe her as hilarious and too smart. She has a sense of humor that’s explicit and she makes very disturbing jokes about her own pain and trauma and the world while also being an aggravating know-it-all who can do almost anything she puts her mind to. People want to hate her but she’s pretty entertaining.
Physical Description: Vera has ginger hair more on the orange side that she always wears in a single Dutch braid and deep blueish grey eyes. She has her mothers hair but fathers eyes. She’s taller for a woman at 5’9 or 175 cm with broad shoulders and a more hourglass figure she attempts to hide. Her body is covered in some light and darker scars from cigarette and cattle prod burns and cuts that needed stitches but never got them. The majority are due to Vladimir but some are due to life in the underground world.
When Vera was younger (17-36) she learned very fast and in a horrible way she was weaker than her male opponents. After Vladimir it became an obsession and she lifts weights, gaining so much arm muscle that from the back and in her baggy, men’s clothes she looks like a man. In fact most men would make jokes that her arms could rival theirs. She wanted her body to be a weapon on top of her skill and smarts. At her peak physical health she makes sure she can overhead lift 220 lbs, maybe 260lbs with adrenaline, so she’s able to always throw Jardani over her shoulder with ease in a bad situation.
As Vera gets older (37 and onward) and has kids, she’s out of the assassin's life and she doesn’t train as much so she gains weight. She’s bigger but still strong. Her figure is more defined, more feminine as people would describe. A lot of the weight she gains goes towards her breast, hips and thighs. She is still strong and when she’s in her serial killer arc, she still tries hard to hide her figure. People still mistake her for a man when she makes an effort to hide what she truly looks like, with age though, she loses muscle mass and isn’t as gung-ho about maintaining a muscular weapon of a body. She’s a mother and the majority of that life is behind her but she makes sure her skills aren’t too rusty as she never knows when she might need to physically fight someone.
Fashion: Vera is very practical. Throughout her entire life she mainly enjoys men's clothes. She loves the pockets and durability and she’s not too interested in women’s fashion. She’d steal a lot of Jardani’s clothes and wear them around just because she liked how they looked. Growing up as a hunter she loved cargo pants, jeans and t-shirts. She wore leather hunting or steel toed boots. Her classic piece is her fathers tan hunting jacket.
After Vera has her children, she’s a little more willing to wear more feminine tops and dresses as she found the usually hated garment easy to breastfeed in. Also when she had to pee frequently due to her babies pushing on her bladder, they were easier to pull up. Still, she prefers long sleeves and to the ankle coverage, when she wears shorts they have to go to her knees at least.
