She was born and raised in Fallbrook, North Carolina to Mary and Dustin Phan. For the longest time, they could not seem to conceive. It was hard on them, though they didn’t show it when even their best friends from the Song family, had children before they did. Yet, it never made them treat Avery any differently.
Eventually, they were with child, putting Veronica Phan to be roughly ten years younger than Avery and fortunately, only three years younger than their other daughter, Annabelle, though they never did click the same way as Veronica did with Avery. For as long as Veronica could remember, the members of the Song. family were people that she considered family. Though they weren’t related by blood, Avery and Annabelle were her sisters.
And it was lucky for such a close connection, because when she was five years old, Veronica lost her parents. It was a tragic car accident that took the life of her parents, leaving her without family. She had no siblings and no aunts or uncles to look after it. It was when the Song family took her in legally. Months were spent in the foster system, but eventually, once all the legal paperwork was sorted out, Veronica Phan became Veronica Phan-Song. Her time in foster care was much quicker due to the preparedness her parent’s had gone through, making sure their daughter would be taken care of due to their slightly older age when they had children.
Veronica came out relatively unscathed for a young girl that lost her parents, mostly due to the support system she had being raised by the Song family. It was one that she couldn’t be more grateful for, always going the extra mile when she could. Though they were twelve years apart, Veronica had always taken to Avery more than she did Annabelle. It must have been their mutual love for animals. It didn’t take Veronica long to start mimicking Avery and her rescuing of animals, though they weren’t always birds in the street and more turtles on the beach. Veronica had an affinity that drew her to the ocean.
From a young age, she had always been decisive. She quickly outgrew being called Veronica, feeling that it wasn’t all that fitting for her and preferring to go by Ronnie. She became quite passionate about the environment and began making posters for rallies at a young age. They were always wildly decorated, perhaps the most sparkly one in the crowd. She also took after her mother and often volunteered at local shelters when she had the chance.
High school was pretty normal for her. One could call her a nerd, as she loved to have her face buried in a book, but she was also sociable. She didn’t have many friends but the ones that she did have were incredibly close to her. New students always came by Ronnie, as she was an ambassador for getting new kids acclimated to Fallbrook and its surroundings. In addition, Ronnie began interning at the Echo Bay Aquarium her senior year, really solidifying her love for the ocean and saving it. It was the defining difference in her path to follow Avery as she went to Florida to get her degree in Marine Biology.
In college, Ronnie was faced with friends that were not good people. She thought they were her friends, but it turned out that they were not. Believing that people were good, Ronnie took her friend’s word when she asked her to get something from another dorm room. Come to find out, Ronnie was caught for stealing. With this being her first offense and having a perfect record, the officer on duty offered to let her go without a scratch on her record, if she had drinks with him. The drink turned to dinner and dinner turned to more until Ronnie graduated. It was roughly six months that the officer blackmailed her.
On the day that she moved back to Fallbrook, Ronnie turned him in and high tailed it out of Florida and back to North Carolina where she began living with Waverly Erickson. Fresh out of college, her funds her limited but she wanted to show her parents that she was self sufficient and she was still recovering from the blackmail and knew they’d see right through her. Since her return to Fallbrook, one year ago, she has been working at the Echo Bay Aquarium. For the last year, she has also put together many beach clean ups, teaches diving classes that start out at the aquarium and rekindled friendships from the few years she was gone for college.
