Character BioCharacter Name: Veronitoria Carthridge
Nicknames: Tori and Verni
Aliases: None
Why the Name?: Her parents couldn’t decide between the name Veronica after a special aunt or Victoria after her mother’s taste so the compromise was made with Veronitoria. Her mother calls her Tori while her father calls her Verni, of course he's the only one allowed to. She prefers to go by Tori.
Name Meaning: Veronica means 'Victory Bringer' from the Greek and is the name for a genus of plants (which is probably where her father got the name from). While Victoria is Latin for 'Conqueror; victory' as well as the name of one of her mother's most influential people from history, Queen Victoria.
Monster Species Type: Microbial Witch
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Birth Date: December 29th, 1997
Place of Birth: Seattle, Washington, USA – Normie area
Residence: Previously Seattle, but now Horror High
(One) Power: She sees microbes as living creatures like in Moyashimon: Tales of Agriculture. Decorates her notebook with sketches of these creatures. In turn, most of her magic somehow involves the help or hindrance (curse) of these creatures.
Like these little guys.This power right now isn't very developed. She sees the microbes but doesn't necessarily recognize them and has to go look them up. Some of the generalized ones, like Escherichia coli
(E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus
(S. aureus). ** For RP purposes I'll probably draw doodles of these myself as well to stand in place for her drawings ** As she hones her power more she'll be able to identify them and what they do just by seeing them as she'll eventually people able to control them.
An example of how she’d use it to help people would be that she can see the microbes on someone who is ill, she could tell them what is infecting them and through research of her father’s books she could learn what the disease plaguing this person could be.
An example of a curse would be to plant fungus microbes in someone’s lunch box as a prank causing mold to grow on their food or potentially giving them food poisoning if ingested.
Personality:Shy: Having been raised as an only child and having not had a great time in the 'normie' schools she often keeps to herself. Although she'll respond when talked to, she will not actively try to continue the conversation. This could change now that she's in a new school with new people who do seem to have 'magical abilities'. This means she often avoids social settings and interactions meaning she misses out on a lot of school sponsored events. Instead she often just sits in her room with her nose in a book or her sketchpad.
Artistic: Taking great inspiration from her mother Veronitoria was never dressed in a normal fashion preferring her tiny top hats, tall socks and heels, adorned with jewelry, and wearing tops that resemble corsets. All of her notes are decorated with pictures of microbes scribbled on the sides.
Curious: She's always been curious, a trait she picked up from her father. Reading every book within her reach and exploring every nook-and-cranny. This in turn can also get her in trouble as she has a knack for "eaves dropping" -- unintentionally of course -- on other people's conversations. Her shyness is overrun at times due to her curiosity. If someone mentions an interesting tid-bit of information, especially during classes, she'll speak up if she's interested in learning more.
Gullible: Growing up her mother and father never had a reason to lie to her, and because of this she's become very trusting. Given her natural curiosity combined with her believing of anything that people say, she gets a lot of pranks pulled on her.
Emotional and Spoiled: Given the fact that Veronitoria was an only child, and pretty spoiled by her ever loving father she tends to get emotional about things when things don't go quite her way. She's known to throw hissy-fits, pouting matches, and to break things. This also means she's prone to getting pretty worked up and emotional about things. Pranks pulled on her can lead to her breaking down and crying and asking questions about why people don't accept her. At times she can be "too" sensitive.
