Both she and her twin sister, [[Serena (Dragon Quest XI)|Serena]], are Keepers and have sworn themselves to protect and aid the [[Luminary (Dragon Quest XI)|Luminary]] on his journey.

==Appearance & Personality==

Veronica appears to be a very young girl with indigo-colored eyes and long blonde hair with a fringe and worn in two braids, tied in orange hairbands at the ends. She wears a long red wizard's hat, a red dress with a large red bow in the front over a white smock with puffed sleeves, blue bracelets, and purple leather shoes with orange socks. She also carries a very tall [[Heavy Wand (weapon type)|wand]] topped with a red orb that is much taller than her.

She is described as a strong-willed magical prodigy, but she hates being treated like a child. The truth is that Veronica is actually older but after an encounter in [[Hotto]] with monsters serving the Lord of Shadows, her appearance was transformed into that of a young girl and she temporarily lost her magical powers. With the aid of the Luminary and [[Erik]], she was able to rescue her sister Serena and defeat the monster who stole her powers, Jarvis, but she did not return to her true age.

==Story==

Veronica and her twin sister, Serena, both inherited the soul of the sage [[Serenica]], who accompanied [[Erdwin]], the original Luminary on his journey against the Dark One. The two come from the land of Arboria and are Keepers, a group of people dedicated to protecting the Luminary and helping him fight against the evils of Erdrea. The two girls have known since birth that they would aid the Luminary on his journey.

Magical might +20% (40%), resilience +40% (60%), Magic critical hit rate up (Magic critical rate further increased). Parenthesis accounts for pep-up power-up bonus.

==Strategy==

Veronica is a [[Mage]], being capable of casting an array of powerful offensive spells in battle, including the [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Bang]], and the majority of the [[Crack]] series of spells, as well as access to some useful utility spells such as [[Sap]] and [[Decelerate]]. However, she has some of the lowest max HP and Resilience in battle, so care must be taken that she does not fall victim to the enemy's attacks in battle. Her weapons of choice are heavy wands and whips and her equipment is limited to robes and other pieces of clothing and hats for spellcasters.

==Etymology==

Veronica is the Latin alteration of the name Berenice, a name which means "bringing victory". The spelling of Veronica is influenced by the Latin phrase ''vera icon'', which means true image, possibly referring to Veronica's transformation and her true fate. Veronica is the name of a saint who lived in Jerusalem in the 1st century AD who famously wiped Jesus's face with a cloth and then found his image imprinted on it. It became a popular girls' name in medieval times due to this legend. It was not common in modern times until the 19th century, when the name was brought from France and Scotland.

The word ''vim'' is an antiquated adjective that describes someone as being very lively and full of high energy.

==Trivia==

* Veronica and Serena bear many similarities to the sisters [[Maya]] and [[Meena]] from ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'':

** Veronica and Maya are users of offensive magic and Serena and Meena use restorative and defensive magic.

** The two pairs share near identical appearances (although Maya and Meena are not twins). Veronica and Maya have fringes in their hair, while Meena and Serena do not.

** Their personalities and temperaments are very different from each other. Veronica and Maya are the more rebellious and fiery siblings, Serena and Meena are more level-headed.

** Veronica is the older twin and Maya is a few years younger than Meena.
