Description
A member of the Velder royal family who was far from the direct line of succession, living away in seclusion from the kingdom.
History
Estranged Royalty
Vera was born to the Velder Royal Family, but was far down in the line of succession. Due to threats of rebellion during her youth, she was subject to many threats and grew to despise her position as a princess of Velder. She'd come to the decision to abdicate the royal throne, which she was given two ways out, to take her own life by consuming slumber weed, or to live in exile in Fluone. She chose the latter and has since resided in the rural outskirts of Fluone in peace.
Start of the Case
Vera receives a letter from her uncle Laudius requesting she return to Velder as the next in the line of succession due to the other potential heirs having perished during the Demon Invasion. Though Vera decides to travel to Velder, she wishes to deny the request to become Velder's new princess.
In order to make the trip, she hires Mathi as an escort and make their way, taking a stop in Sander. Though she needs to make it to Velder before the Harmony Festival, Vera herself feels in no rush and shops around the Sander bazaar, being an easy target due to her sheltered affluence.
When Mathi and Lithia returned from their commission, Vera introduces herself. Hoping for more companionship, she attempts to hire Lithia, and actually meets the high price Lithia offered. Lithia tried to refuse, but after witnessing Vera's naivety from being scammed at the market, decides to follow along, as she heading toward Feita anyways.
At Zaya Mountains
The group depart Sander and make their way over Zaya Mountains. Vera demonstrated her handiness with wrangling animals as well as knowledge about poisonous plants before they set up camp. Night came, Lithia inquired about Vera's identity, she properly introduces herself and her circumstance. Her story was interrupted by demons and fauna stampeding down the mountain. The group investigate the source of the commotion and see a Naius get corrupted by the lake polluted with Henir energy. They euphemize the Naius and the pollution dissipated on its own.
The group return to their camp where they talk. Vera confides she has little feeling for her family, being the source of many threats and turmoil, but after learning of their demise, still felt a sense of loneliness. She then listened to Lithia's story, correctly suspecting Felix to have been a demon. She admires Lithia's determination to continue her family's research as she contemplates her own decision about the throne.
Chaos in Denice
They arrive at the Port Town Denice but are stalled by traffic and an issue with their registration. Mathi heads to sort things out while Lithia and Vera rest nearby. Vera admits she hopes they don't actually find a ship and reveals she could show the authorities her broach for accommodations, but doesn't feel right taking advantage of it while she intends to refuse Velder's request in the end, which Lithia respects.
Monsters begin to attack the port, Lithia heads to find Mathi while Vera helped direct the fleeing crowds. After finding Mathi, Lithia tries to get them to flee themselves, but Vera feels for the people's livelihoods and convinces Lithia to stay and help. Once the Senace Guardians reinforcements returned, Vera reported the situation and injured to them. After receiving safe passage, they board their ship and head out. Learning that Velder and other places like Northern Empire had seen worse devastation than what she'd seen today, she worries Velder's request might be one she cannot refuse, and if so, she worries what she could even do.
Swallowed by Rage
While aboard the Kleruk, Lithia passed out but seemed to be struggling in her sleep. Vera worried about her companion stuck by her side, noticing Lithia's necklace was causing additional discomfort, she removed it. When Lithia came to, the ship was suddenly in the state of being attacked. Lithia storms off after noticing she was missing her necklace, the other try to pursue her.
After Mathi holds Lithia back from getting closer to the Rift that appeared in the shattered head of a goddess statue, Lithia lashes out at her friends. Vera profusely apologizes and gives Lithia back her necklace, Lithia apologizes.
Signal of the Festival
The group arrive in Velder with the Hamony Festival in full swing, they enjoy the atmosphere for a time before being taken to a hidden port underneath the castle where they are greeted by the current Duke of Velder, Laudius. Vera tries to refuse, but is cut off by her uncle who steer the conversation and whisks her away, pivoting that she will have a speech to boost the moral of the people.
Excuse and Blame
Ready to give a speech to open the Harmony Festival. Unbeknownst to her, her Grandmother's brooch was tainted with Henir energy which will transform her into a Henir monster when she gives her speech. Fortunately, Lithia learned of this plot by the Henir Order and Laudius, and managed to get the brooch away from Vera before the transformation.
That's the Story
The trio escape Velder while being pursued, making their way into the forests of Feita. When Lithia fell unconscious due to the Henir affliction she sustained from Vera's brooch, Mathi used a forbidden healing technique to transfer the affliction onto himself. Lithia becomes determined to face her client's who were behind the string of incidents but gives Vera a teleportation scroll with no set destination to get her and Mathi away from here. She bids good luck to Lithia and assures they will see each other again before using the scroll and teleporting away.
Vera teleports them to an unspecified location and the two end up in an empty field in Fluone. Mathi soon falling into a comatose state. Fortunately, Anduran foresaw destiny and sent Rosso searching where they had landed. Originally planning to drop the two in the nearest village, noticing Mathi's Henir afflictions, he took the two to Elrianode.
After arriving, Vera told the Master everything she could to help Lithia. Denif approached the girl and requested to hold her hand, sensing something before backing off without elaborating. The Masters sent Ventus to check out of the forest, but all traces of the Order's base had disappeared. Worried, she could only wait.
Curse in a Blessing in a Shackle
Lithia reunites with Vera who was alongside the comatose Mathi. They talk for a time, Vera contemplates her future plans. Unable to return to her old life, but not wanting to overstay her welcome in Elrianode, she remains undecided.
In Their Stead
When Lithia decides she will go the Demon Realm to find a way to save Mathi, Vera is present to see her off. She makes Lithia promise to come back safe, even if it means empty-handed. Lithia gives Vera a necklace, one she carved from Joyfulite as a memento.

Trivia
- In Lithia's Mischief Path, Lithia did not learn of Vera's royal status during their journey to Velder. This causes Lithia to be caught off guard during the events of Excuse and Blame, when she saw Vera was the royal that was giving the speech. This results in Lithia being unable to save Vera from transforming into a Henir monster and was executed by the Velder Knights, despite Mathi's attempts to restore her to normal.
