Veronique Moore, better known as simply Vera, 21 years old, is a very bright girl. She sometimes tends to take things a little too seriously and overthinks just about everything, but that doesn’t take away from how sweet she is. Even though she feels offended a bit too quickly from time to time, she’s very loyal and doesn’t hold a grudge. She’s clever and she understands how people think, which is why she’s sometimes hesitant to believe everything someone says and she’s certainly not someone to play games with. But once you have gained her trust, she’ll always be there for you.
The first power she’ll obtain is ice control, so she’ll be able to create and control ice. She also gets super mentality; a superhuman capacity to retain information.

Vera smiled to herself. She’d always been able to persuade Xander, tonight was no exception. As soon as she heard about the meteor shower, she knew she had to see it, and who better to share it with than her best friend? Although he was hesitant at first, she had known him long enough to know exactly what to say to convince him.
“I told you you’d love it,” she said, still grinning smugly, very pleased with herself that she got him to join her. She knew how much he valued his sleep, but no bed could compete with her ways of persuasion.
She too looked up at the particularly pretty night sky, she couldn’t wait for the shower to begin. It wasn’t often that she was as excited as she was that night, but the spot she found was so perfect and the sky was so clear, everything was just perfect, even the rain had stopped. It all added to an especially good mood on her part.
It didn’t take long for the first meteor to appear, followed by many other small streaks of light. Vera’s eyes lit up when she saw them, just like the sky did.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” she sighed, a content smile on her face. Still looking upwards, she leaned against him.
“Thanks for coming with me, by the way,” she then said, as she shortly looked up to him. “I really appreciate it.” She wasn’t one to express her gratitude over and over again – she was convinced that words lose their meaning when said too much – so when she did thank someone, it felt like quite a big deal to her. She wasn’t sure if Xander realised, but it didn’t even matter; the sky looked beautiful, she had great company and not a care in the world, nothing could ruin her night.

She didn’t even realise that her jaw had fallen down and that she was pretty much gaping at the sky, her thoughts were preoccupied with what was happening above them. She wasn’t even thinking about some random facts about the universe that she’d read five years ago and somehow still remembered, or really anything she’d usually think about, her mind was actually quiet for a change. She wouldn’t be able to enjoy the view in silence for long though, as something quite unordinary caught her eye. Another meteor appeared, one unlike anything she’d ever seen before. She held her breath for a moment. This wasn’t just some meteor, just some tiny stripe of light in the black sky that disappeared before you could even point it out, this one was extraordinary. She couldn't take her eyes off it, not wanting to miss one second of the spectacular colours. She was so distracted by the meteor and its glow that it wasn’t until Xander pointed it out that she realised that the meteor was, in fact, coming their way. Yet, both of them just stood there, staring at it in awe, too bewildered to even blink. The meteor kept coming closer and closer, but neither of them moved.
It almost seemed as if Vera hadn’t even been really aware of it coming down in the first place until the shock it caused almost had her loose her balance for a little while. She blinked a couple of times, still not entirely comprehending what had just happened. A meteorite, she had just actually witnessed the fall of an actual meteorite! Her amazement quickly turned into excitement. Meteorites were quite rare, after all.
“Did you see that? Did you?” she half-yelled. “Of course you saw that, even you’re not blind enough to miss that. Wasn’t it awesome?! And those colours! Beautiful!” She couldn’t stop herself from rambling and started to drag him with her to get a closer look at the meteorite. The dust that the impact had thrown in the air was far from settling down and Vera started coughing a little as they neared the meteorite, but she wasn’t going to let a bit of dust get in her way of seeing it, this was far too exciting for her.
