โโโโโโโโโโLady Vera stands roughly five feet, nine inches tall with a strong yet lean athletic body despite her feminine charm, much like fairytales of fey Elves would describe. Her silver flowing white hair is strange to many as that usually remains symbolic to the elderly but despite this her follicles remain healthy and young. However, one distinguishable feature she has are her eyes. Icy blue, bright in color yet cold at a glance.

โโโโโโโโโโOne thing to note about Lady Vera is that she is, in essence, a virtuoso. With genius level intelligence, high perceptive and analytical skills, she is capable of outwitting and out-deceiving even the most keen-eyed individuals. Her Eidetic and photographic memory, along with mechanical adeptness towards gadgetry and ability to acquire information, she is able to prepare well in advance for almost any possible scenario.

โโโโโโโโโโDespite the sweet and warm side she shows society in order to upkeep the name Bets, if one managed to get beyond her social defenses they would find that she is quite the contrary to popular belief. Those beautiful blue eyes of hers hold sadness, pain, and wraith, all of which is tamed for the time being, lying dormant like dragons of yore in the fairytales of famous novelists.

โโโโโโโโโโAside from guns, gizmos and gadgets, her strongest weapon she has in her arsenal is that of her intelligence.

โโโโโโโโโโCommon for the common folk to hope and dream for their daughters to marry into royalty or at least a rich man. Or for their sons to give their mothers grandchildren and provide pride for their father figure in the form of a fancy establishment of their own, or as a soldier... And yes, although women are seen in in such... industries if you will, even with such respect. Many families, not all, but many would still prefer the aforementioned hope and/or dream. As I said...many...Such was the way with my family. My father wished of me to marry a handsome young lad by the name of Johan Stolfus, the young heir to Stolfus Shipping Co. As dear and sweet the little boy was he was not the, quality of man I was looking for. But this boy came from a rather prosperous family whose name did reach other cities so it was pertinent that my presence at Madame Geraldine's Finishing School of Quality for Young Ladies...or....however its said was made post haste. Despite my pleas to be placed in Polytech, my father planted his foot down on the decision. Since I respected my father's wishes, I decided to at least learn everything I could from this school, and despite the distinguishing honors Madame Geraldine's Finishing School for Young Ladies of Quality may have I will say I don't believe that the school, nor Madame Geraldine herself were prepared for such a student of... dare say, ambition? Tehee... Anyway...Schooling for the most part went quite well. One could say par for the course hmhmhmhm but many students tended to shy away from me. Saying "that despite my rather warm and welcoming aura. I had cold, cold dead eyes, like frost in the winter's night." It sent shivers down their spine. Hmhmhm... But I digress. Schooling had went quite well and from there I found a few places to work for the time being until I can find a decent, handsome man....At least...This is the story that I tell everyone and to think that someone as perceptive and keen as ๐ady ๐atherine ๐olding-๐rassmott, one who specializes in the art of deception was unaware of my infiltration into their school should warrant enough of an understanding that the schools staffing needs to be reevaluated to ensure that people such as myself never manage to do such a thing. Of course, they may as well turn this into their benefit as to say that I was a "student of prodigy" and that many others could be like me if they attend...pathetic to be blunt. I digress. My story is much more...shall you say, narrative. Thrilling and exciting to many who enjoy a good book or two but to me...It was darker than the night itself...And it starts within one of the cities founding family's estates. The Sanduhr Family Estate..."

- She had gained the nickname Lady Vera after the flower Veratrum which, if ingested, can lead to rapid cardiac arrest.
- She has, while at Madame Geraldine's School (which continued after graduation as well) created a "Tea of Death" referred to as "Winter's Crest". The tea is made with an assortment of expensive tea leaves mixed with Conium, Veratrum, Aconitum and the berries of the Atropa Bella donna. The tea has a well balanced mixture, starting with its complex, floral nose. The body is light and earthy with notes of honey, cinnamon and nectar and a berry finish.
- There has been a long standing rumour that Lady vera is in fact a the surviving member of one of the founding Hourglass families, The Sanduhr's.
