Hobbies:

Cheerleader: Popularity is very important to Veronica, and she knows as well as everyone that a trick to popularity is joining the cheer squad. She began practicing cheer at a young age, and as she grew older and it became a steady part of her life, she began to enjoy it more and more for reasons outside of the perceived popularity benefits she can obtain from it. She has great cheerleading talent and athleticism, and has competed in Sovereign Height's award-winning cheer squad in cheer competitions.

Exercise: Keeping fit is vital to being a good cheerleader, and for maintaing a good image to others. She works out very often - largely aerobics and cardio exercise, but maintains a muscular body through both cheer practice and various forms of self-defense classes, including kickboxing, tae bo, and briefly krav maga. While she is no expert in any of these combat styles having only taken weekly lessons in them for a span of a few months, she is certainly able to defend herself in a fight if necessary, and enjoyed each style of combat enough to pursue them further.

Shopping: It's important to look good if you want people to like you, or so Veronica feels. Thus, she can often be found maxing out her credit cards at various high-end retail stores to keep up with the very latest fashions. She can be quite the generous shopper - if you are going to be in her inner circle of your friends, your appearance is a reflection of herself, thus she will ensure that you are dressed to the finest as well.

Virtues:

Poised: Veronica is always in control of herself - and at least thinks she is or tries to be in control the situation. At times this can be infuriating, but some admiration can be credited to the high standard that she holds herself to. She is always working in effort to maintain a good, prim, proper and popular image that can be perceived as perfect or otherwise positive - although some may disagree. It keeps her ambitious and driven, working to excel in her activities. It also allows her to stay in control of her image so that her sense of self does not escape her - she is confident in her person, and has thick enough skin to brush off any insults she deems as invalid. She also has great discipline of her emotions - she does not deny her feelings and is comfortable expressing them - but she does not let her emotions take the best of her to behave in a way that may be deemed as trashy or severely improper. This quality, for better or worse, drives her to be what she feels is the perfect person.

Intelligent: Veronica is a very intelligent young girl and excels in academics. She isn't the valedictorian or any level of genius, but she values intellectualism and maintaining a sharp wit and mind so makes an effort to stay focused in school, be a diligent student, and study up on what she is unclear about so that she can speak with conviction, authority, and understanding. Through her intelligence, she is able to participate in deeper and more thought-provoking conversations and debate, and can state, share and inform others of her point-of-view intelligently.

Generous: Some may say that Veronica is fairly generous. She loves to shop for her friends and shower them with gifts. It isn't hard to tell if Veronica likes you - you'll get piles of items telling you as much. However, this is often deceptive - while she does purchase things for her genuine friends, she can be quite a fair-weathered friend and just using her generosity for ulterior motives to get something from you. This is not always the case, but it is one of her ways of making a new contact. In addition, after insulting friends she may try to purchase a gift to patch things up later to replace a sincere apology - in these situations she may not want to apologize since she doesn't feel wrong, but she does genuinely want to re-patch the friendship. Regardless of whether or not she has ulterior motives in her gift-giving, she does get satisfaction out of seeing the recipient's joy and reaction.

Flaws:

Mean: Veronica isn't brutally honest. She isn't unintentionally impolite. No, Veronica knows exactly how mean she is being and takes quite a great deal of pride in this. She isn't just mean to some people or those who have crossed her, she is downright cruel to everyone - friends, family and more. To those she actually she likes, she may apologize after her catty remarks, but still excuse them as simply being honest and try on working repairing any damage done later. She's lost friends through her meanness, but that's okay - they're just over-sensitive and it's not her fault.

Privileged: Veronica is fairly arrogant and holds herself highly, but worse she is very self-centered and spoiled. She's aware that the world doesn't resolve around her, but she feels that it certainly should - and if not, she should make an effort for things to accommodate her needs, desires, and whims. Her family's wealth has afforded her to get much of what she wants, instilling these values into her. Combined with her very controlling nature, this is a recipe for disaster when things do not go her way or she sees something in her world that she disproves of. If you stand in her way of getting her self-centered desires, no matter how much they may impact you negatively and more significantly, then you better watch out - you've got a Veronica problem.

Judgmental: Veronica has a very set standard of what she deems as a perfect person, and anyone falling outside of this mold is in someway imperfect - and Veronica is not afraid to point this out to you in the most passive-aggresisve (or even not all that passive) ways possible. She has a high standard set for people and is critical of those who she feels are behaving or displaying themselves outside of what she views are proper societal norms. Simply for being different than her or even disagreeing with her opinions, Veronica can make your life a waking nightmare.
