veronica byrne of sanctuary 001 (p)

age. sixteen
gender. female
rank. level 2 patient

appearance. veronica is a very pale girl with shiny brown hair that falls down to her chest. she has an upturned nose and full pink lips, and hazelish-green eyes. she is quite skinny, standing at about five feet seven inches and weighing around one hundred and twelve pounds.
accessories and scars. veronica feels that accessories weigh her down so she chooses not to wear any. she has one defined scar on her left knee from falling off her bike as a child. her usual style is leggings and thick, oversized jackets - this combination just makes her feel the safest.

personality. veronica is a shy person, but extremely friendly once you actually get to know her. she'll be walking in the library and accidentally bump into someone and be super awkward and quiet. but if she's with someone she's known for a while, she's so nice and outgoing. veronica is also a very fearful person, always planning for the worst and never wanting to do something that could possibly put her in danger. she practices her powers a lot because of this, whether it be alone in her room or with her best friend, millennia. however, she's very weak, both physically and emotionally, so sometimes she goes to the gym in hope that she can toughen up a bit. during free time, she loves to read and collect bugs, so you'll usually find her in her room after asking the guards for storage containers, or in the library.

powers.
volukinesis. veronica can summon and manipulate any insect, as well as being able to understand and communicate with them. she can basically command bugs to do anything, like send a bee to sting a guard she doesn't like. 
agrokinesis. veronica can create, shape, and manipulate plants, including trees, bushes, vines, moss, and parts of plants like petals, leaves, seeds, roots, or fruits. she can control them to grow or die, revive withered plants, and even uproot them from the ground so they can walk.
summoning. veronica can summon forth objects and organisms from seemingly nowhere. this is combined with her volukinesis, allowing her to summon bugs from outside the sanctuary and bring them inside. however, objects need to be at most three or four rooms away for her to summon them, and she cannot summon people. 
illnesses. anxiety

past. veronica was born in washington dc, living with a single mother throughout her childhood. her mother worked a lot to keep income coming into their home, and so most of the time veronica was at school and staying after school for clubs to avoid being home alone. as a child, she kept quiet with her head down, always doing what she was told. her powers began to manifest at age eleven, after she had taken a hike on a trail overdosed with radiation from the White House. her newfound powers went rather unnoticed for almost three months, until she discovered that she could control bugs. she always loved collecting insects, and when she had went back to the same hiking trails, she was able to communicate with the insects she was collecting in jars. she had began to use her powers at home, and at age twelve she was able to "unlock" the rest of her powers. she was so scared, but also fascinated, so she didn't tell her mother or any of her friends. until finally, she made the mistake of going back to the trails once more to collect more unique insects that were also affected by the radiation. she had wandered off the marked paths and found herself in the middle of a taped off site where ten men were, in sterile white hazmat suits. they found her and took her to the sanctuary - she never really knew if they even told her mother. but she settled in alright, practicing her powers a lot since she was always scared that other patients would try to hurt her. once she met millennia, a girl who lived right across from veronica's room, she was able to relax a bit. now, veronica and millennia spend nearly all of their time together.
