Name: Veronica Miles
Gender: Female
Font color: #444400, but I'm also going to have to reserve #000000 on #00BB00, #000000 on #FF88FF, #000000 on #FF8800, #000000 on #AAAAFF, and #000000 on #FFFF00.
Race: Human
Weapons/Abilities: Veronica has powerful psychic abilities, mostly in the area of telekinesis. However, using them fatigues her.

Description: Apart from the psychic abilities, Veronica is just a typical Southern girl, albiet more physically fit than one would expect, due to the requirements imposed by her powers. She was summoned while wearing a fancy pink Sunday dress (not completely by her own choice), but she has leather boots underneath it. She wears her long blonde hair down, and it hangs straight; none of that curly stuff that some of her friends like to make theirs do. Her irises are normally pure gray, but whenever she uses her psychic powers they change color. She's smack dab in the middle of the average range when it comes to bust size, which is still better than most of her friends. She just turned 19 a month ago, although she insists that she has "knowledge beyond her years."

Veronica has a rather tomboyish personality, although she's careful not to reveal it while in "polite company;" most of her friends and family, even her parents, know her as a "sweet little girl" instead of an outgoing, freespirited young woman. And while she would never admit it, she sometimes (okay, often) hears voices in her head that aren't her own, usually that of a rather stern and much, much older woman who calls herself Thera, although other voices, like that of an equally old man's, have accompanied her with increasing frequency in the past few weeks. Usually they stay silent, occasionally they comment on things happening around her, and whenever she's in danger they're always constantly offering advice, a lot of it too quiet to hear.

Fear: Veronica's greatest fear is that of being truly alone. She has gotten very used to the voices in her head, and the idea of being separated from everyone including them has turned into her worst nightmare.

Biography: Veronica grew up on a Mississippi ranch with her parents, both of whom were psychics with slightly-below-average powers. To her parents' despair, she seemed to lack any sort of psychic power--at least until her sixth birthday, when she levitated the cake onto the ceiling. Her parents were absolutely thrilled, and happily cleaned up the mess and got her another cake. However, Veronica didn't tell them about the old lady's voice in her head that had suddenly gotten a lot clearer the instant she levitated the cake.

Within a week it was clear that telekinesis was Veronica's psychic forte. Objects were constantly flying around the house, and it took a very nasty incident involving a priceless china vase before Veronica's parents could convince her that her psychic powers were not something to mess around with. Six-year-old Veronica grudgingly consented, and her parents began teaching her to use her powers to their full potential. And 13 years later, her parents found, to their dismay, that she had vanished in the middle of the night.
