Summer met Veronica through Lennon. Lennon was best friends with Veronica's younger siblings: Layla and Lucas. Sometimes when they would come over Veronica would too, and that's how Summer and Veronica ended up meeting. They would always hang out together and Summer would constantly invite Ronnie to hang out with her and her friends. She ended up confessing her feelings for Veronica and ended up dating her.

Summer met Jackson at his dad's diner. Summer was waitress at his dad's diner and when she was working her and Jackson started flirting with each other and the hit it off instantly. Jackson liked Summer so much, he gave her his number by the end of the night. They knew of eachother, but anytime Jackson was gonna ask her out she was always with Ricky.

i want someone besides me and the 2 friends who know all the lore to meet my detective, but i’m too impatient to let you get to know her via fic so i filled out this questionnaire instead. she is veronica and she is so important, here is some stuff about her if you are interested :’)

QUICK READ OF YOUR DETECTIVE

Name: veronica langford

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: bi

Love interest: adam

Best friend: morgan

Main skill: science/technology

Secondary skill: combat/physical

Main personality trait: impulsive

Secondary personality trait: sarcastic

Why did they join the Wayhaven PD?: best use of her science skills

Relationship with Rebecca: not great

Relationship with Bobby: ex, finds it hard to be around him

Verda or Tina?: both! but she’s on verda’s branch

Murphy bite?: wrist

Murphy's fate?: captured

Rescue LI or Rescue Sanja?: sanja

GENERAL

Name: veronica “it’s been 3 years and i never gave her a middle name” langford

Nickname: just veronica. people around wayhaven called her ronny growing up, and a few still do despite her trying to grow out of it. maybe a few people from college and sometimes tina call her v or vee or something.

Birthday: please you all know i am so scared of concrete dates

Age: 26

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: bi

Hair color: brown

Eye color: dark brown

Height: 5′10 (178 cm)

Piercings: just one in each ear

Tattoos: something retro sci-fi on her shoulder. not a reference to anything specific, but like a little planetary landscape with a UFO in the background or something.

Clothing Style: casual. lots of tank tops and muscle tees (weather- and occasion-permitting), concert t-shirts, warm colors. flannels and leather jackets. jeans, sneakers, combat boots. think like rocker chick vibes, but cozier and more colorful.

Apartment Style: basic. she really did not plan on living there long and kept putting off decorating because it’d be a waste if she was just going to move out. this rationalization went on so long but since the end of book 1 she has slowly bought a few things to push it towards “cozy,” still pretty sparse though.

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP

Love Interest: adam

Why them?: for veronica it’s kind of retroactive. the way i imagine their True Canon, they don’t have any real romantic moments in book 1, so she doesn’t seriously consider that adam might have feelings for her until well into book 2. (the training scene is when she’s like “oh. ok. i get it now.”) even then it takes a few more chapters for her to really process that, figure out how she feels, and recontextualize everything. like realizing that he loves her and then thinking back on their relationship, knowing that, makes her feel so held (sorry i have no better way to say it) in a way that just makes her want to cry.

to give some actual specific reasons, it’s his dedication and his constancy and hidden care/softness. and his very specific brand of... selflessness might be just left of the word i’m looking for, but hopefully you get me.

Bold, shy, or mixed?: neither! in theory it’s closer to bold, but it’s more just earnest.

What were their first impressions of each other?: disastrous. on top of finding him condescending and unpleasant, there are also a few moments where veronica genuinely wonders whether he’s even a good person. or, like, cares about people. but once she learns the truth of things, a lot of her initial anger gets transferred to rebecca.

adam, with the benefit of knowing what’s actually happening, has a slightly more favorable impression of veronica. yes he thinks she’s difficult and reckless and too emotionally driven, yes she’s making his job absolutely miserable, but he does begrudgingly respect that her accusations are always on the right track and she’s good at her job.

What do they find attractive about each other, mentally or physically?:

for veronica: she loooves his sense of humor. and how much faith he has in the people he cares about. physically, dimples <3. but everything about his smile really. and his nose!

for adam: veronica has a very blunt, unadorned sense of kindness to her that he really loves. the way she is kind before she is nice and values directness. physically, her eyes, they’re deep brown and so expressive.

What do they do to spend time together?: they’re both competitive so anything where they can compete on the same team is fun. (competing against each other is fun too, but also like. exhausting. for them and everyone.) maybe puzzles or other things where it feels like they’re “winning” or solving something together. i have spent an embarrassing amount of thought on veronica and overw*tch esp*rts and she would absolutely make adam learn how to play main tank so they could queue as a tank duo. but most of the time i think they don’t Do specific things together; they just hang out. just talk with each other. perhaps snuggle.

What is their favorite memory together?: in current canon... lol. veronica really just treasures any time adam relaxes around her but those moments always get Ruined. even once they’re well into a relationship, i think veronica’s favorite memory would still be something small like a random time he said something funny and they both laughed together and they were outside and the sky was pretty.

What are their love languages?: acts of service for both of them, but especially adam. veronica... probably lots of words of affirmation and physical touch. they’re both bad at blocking out time for themselves in the first place, so quality time can get neglected especially at first.

How do they handle being apart from one another?: pretty well i think! once they’re in an established relationship at least, before that it’s probably harder. but adam can distract himself with work, and veronica is good at focusing on whatever’s in front of her (whether that’s work or she’s away on vacation or something). if neither of them is too busy, veronica calls every night and they stay on a while, half talking and half just keeping each other company.

Do they argue? How do they handle arguments and disagreements? How do they make up?: i think arguments are fairly rare! yes they’re both insanely stubborn, but they also understand each other pretty well (especially once in a relationship) and are very sympathetic to where the other is coming from. unless both of them are extremely stressed, one of them crumbles when they start genuinely arguing like "i don't want to fight ok, let's take a second."

What does their future look like?: who knows! i haven’t decided whether veronica will turn. i think she probably will, just because i do not want my main pairing for this IF to make me very sad all the time, but like. i’m not fully committing until i see a reason pop up in canon. as of book 3′s final demo, it’s not on her radar at all; she knows she loves adam and wishes they could Talk, but ultimately doesn’t expect or even want a relationship right now (because she doesn’t want to deal with dating one of rebecca’s agents OR with the logistics of being in a committed relationship with an immortal being). it’s just all so foreign to her current state of mind that it’s really hard to say!

Anything else you'd like to share: do you know how hard it was to answer some of these considering veronica wasn’t sure they were even, like, on decent terms for such a large portion of the canon content

BEST FRIEND RELATIONSHIP

Best friend: morgan and farah are essentially joint besties but i’ll go with M

Why them?: i think they appreciate each other’s no bullshit attitude. morgan likes that veronica doesn’t take herself too seriously and respects/relates to the way she tackles problems (quickly, head-on, and without complaint but also without pretending that it doesn’t suck?). veronica appreciates morgan’s bluntness, likes bantering with her, and in general just likes being around people that have quiet/steady presences.

What were their first impressions of each other?: neither of them had much of a first impression honestly. morgan barely thought of veronica at all beyond “she’s annoying,” and kept to herself so much that any dislike veronica had of morgan took a backseat to her dealing with the rest of unit bravo.

What do they do to spend time together?: lots of just sitting in the same room and listening to (low volume) music, veronica spends a lot of time hunting for songs morgan might like. morgan is also her go-to sparring/training buddy. and there are semi-frequent movie nights where veronica shows farah her favorite old shitty B movies, and sometimes morgan will tag along just to sit in the room with them or affectionately talk shit.

Anything else you'd like to share: i’ll talk a little about N! obviously veronica and nate respect, trust, and like each other, but she finds him the hardest of UB to connect with. they’re both people who wear their compassion on their sleeves but keep a lot of their hearts/themselves held back, so they just kind of circle each other, especially since like... nate values politeness and is very sweet in how he relates to people, while veronica values directness and is more jokey/lighthearted to put people at ease. idk how well i’m communicating this; as of the book 3 demo it’s getting easier, but their friendship is still newer/more... nebulous? than the others.

OTHER RELATIONSHIPS (Feel free to go in depth!)

Relationship with Rebecca: so strained. veronica has come to terms with rebecca’s absences throughout her childhood, but there’s newer resentment over... a lot of things, but how she handled the murphy case especially. veronica hates being kept in the dark, and even more than that she hates being rebecca’s priority. it’s difficult to reconcile her childhood and present images of rebecca, and she’s angry that rebecca is so freely and recklessly choosing her, now, to the point of endangering others if she has to, especially when she never felt like rebecca’s choice before. and incredibly frustrated/confused by how often the lines between their professional and familial relationships are blurred and what rebecca actually wants from her.

Relationship with Rook: veronica takes after rook a lot. in stat terms, the only trait they don’t share is stoic, and even then that’s veronica’s least extreme stat. people always told her how like her father she was growing up, and it’s a comparison she took/takes a lot of pride in! she looks up to him based on the stories, but more recently is uncomfortable with the comparisons. veronica would never have even come back to wayhaven if her life panned out as planned, let alone become a detective or joined the agency. that makes her doubt herself, and she feels like that doubt is letting rook down somehow.

rook is also part of the reason her relationship with rebecca isn’t as bad as it could be. she knows that rook loved her, and that he would want his family to be there for each other, so she feels obligated to at least try to make things better. but it’s really hard for her to move past everything to connect with rebecca (which also makes her feel like she’s disappointing rook).

Relationship with Bobby: they were together for a long time and veronica thought she loved him a lot! it was her first relationship, so she wasn’t sure a) what a “bad partner” looked like, or b) how to even be in a relationship or rely on someone in that way. so they spent a lot of time together and had great superficial chemistry, but veronica didn’t have enough experience with not feeling neglected to realize how shallow it was, or notice the red flags when she did occasionally open up. the plagiarism fiasco was a slap in the face, especially because it cost her internships/grad school apps/whatever, i don’t have the details, and forced her to move back to wayhaven after school. she’s still very hurt by it and finds it hard to be around bobby.

Relationship with Verda: due to the above plagiarism fiasco, veronica was pretty depressed when she moved back home, and disliking her job didn’t help. she was extremely jealous when verda was hired and wanted to hate him. but it did not take long for that to crumble into respect/admiration, and eventually into close friendship! verda is a role model for her; they bond over science; they joke easily and have good chill fun. she was really excited to see him piecing together the truth about the supernatural and then devastated to see how he reacted. she feels insanely guilty and thinks it was selfish of her to let him figure it out, but is also cautiously optimistic about making it up to him as of the book 3 demo.

Relationship with Tina: very close! veronica isolated herself when she came back to wayhaven after school, and she is so grateful to tina for being her closest friend and link to the rest of the world during that time. hates keeping the supernatural from her, though. she didn’t like lying to tina to begin with, but she feels even worse about it now that verda knows, and now that tina has clearly picked up on something being wrong but she still can’t say anything.

Relationship with the Mayor: cannot stand him. hates the way he talks about rook, hates the way he talks to rebecca. she cooperates as necessary but doesn’t bother hiding her lack of patience/respect for him.

Relationship with Capt. Sung: basically fine. i think veronica might be a little too casual for him in the way she works, but she always gets the job done so he’s not too bothered by it. (she is ‘bend the rules,’ but more ‘strict rules aren’t important as long as you’re still doing good work’ than the ‘boooo fuck paperwork’ variety. so it’s mostly fine.) she also appreciates him as a minor link to rook.

Relationship with Haley: very friendly, but not super close. they get along great and could make pleasant conversation for hours, but ultimately don’t know each other super well despite the familiarity of growing up together.

Relationship with Elidor: such a comforting presence for veronica during her recovery! she is so grateful, so fond.

Relationship with Tapeesa/Vieno: veronica loves vieno’s cranky-yet-friendly vibe and they get along well! not close, but will stop to chat whenever they pass each other.

Relationship with Unit Alpha: loves their energy. always looks forward to the next opportunity to chat with them, and fully supports any harmless dunking on UB even if she rarely joins in.

Relationship with the Maa-alused: going through the house of mirrors and then coming home for them to appear in her apartment and infect bobby was one of thee worst experiences of her life, and it’s hard for her to get past that + the illness in general. sympathizes with them, and got them to sign the treaty, but is still kind of unsettled by everything that happened and by falk.

Do they have any other important relationships, past or present? (Relatives, friends, etc.?): some vague figures i have in mind but no one i’ve really developed. a couple friends from college, and maybe an elderly couple that lives on her childhood street and used to check in her.

PERSONAL BIO

Describe their personality: her usual demeanor is very warm and casual. sincere but private--she’s pretty blunt and likes to be direct with people, but steers conversations away from personal topics. likes to joke around and doesn’t take herself that seriously. but behind all this, she’s extremely stubborn and won’t shy away from conflict if she thinks you’re in the wrong (which is why she seems like a different person in the first half of book 1. UB is surprised by how like... chill and nice she is once they clear the air). a workaholic, self-reliant and secure but still pretty hard on herself, takes a lot of responsibility for the people around her.

Strengths: so dedicated. honest and trustworthy, has a strong moral compass and can always be counted on to do her absolute best. flexible and intuitive, her brain works really fast.

Weaknesses: cannot compartmentalize or separate herself from a case, throws herself so recklessly into everything (in terms of both physical danger and emotional burnout). doesn’t necessarily hold grudges but has a hard time letting go of hurt, still can’t think objectively about bobby or rebecca.

Where in the world is their Wayhaven?: somewhere on the US east coast idk what to tell you. perhaps a carolina or a virginia.

What is their personal history?: veronica was pretty social and well-liked around wayhaven growing up. she was known as just a really good kid; she was an overachiever and got along with almost anyone. in college, she felt like she was free of something and took a very work hard/play hard approach to life. always doing or going, whether it was for school or work or fun. she really enjoyed life during this time but crashed and burned pretty hard when she and bobby broke up; a lot of her plans were delayed until the plagiarism incident was resolved and she didn’t really have the heart to pursue them afterwards.

a year or so after graduating, she returned to wayhaven with the intention of taking one more year to regroup, and she has been stuck there longer than she meant to be and has kind of hit a wall when book 1 starts.

If they weren't a detective, what would their dream job be?: she was on track to become a biochemist and it was her dream job but then the main plot happened to her.

Anything else you'd like to share: i don’t really know enough to fully explain this, but no OC i love is a cop so like. i think maybe the job she took when she got back to wayhaven was a douglas-esque receptionist role for detective reele’s private office. then reele retired and small town politics + veronica’s history of useful contributions to cases in her downtime at work led to her being pressured to take up the mantle. it’s hard to explain why she’s a detective when she so deeply does not want to be one but i am Trying (or maybe she would have jumped at the chance to do something marginally closer to forensics?? who knows)

RANDOM FACTS

Zodiac sign: aries is what i assigned her when i first made her and i think it suits her! plus it’d be fun for her and M to be twins. this goes hand-in-hand with my birthday commitment issues though

Hobbies: music (she plays guitar and bass and sings a little), running, gaming unfortunately. i could also see her having been into boxing or some martial art but idk what exactly!

Likes: early morning stillness, DIY projects, t-shirts with inexplicable slogans and other weird thrift store finds

Dislikes: overly sweet food or drink, when cold weather lasts too long, being lied to or “protected” from the truth

Drink of choice: something with gin maybe. also feels a great fondness and gratitude for cheap wine.

Starbucks order: i truly know nothing about coffee. is it weird to order black coffee at starbucks

Favorite food: variations on spicy chicken soup! she eats a lot of crockpot meals for convenience and they’ve grown on her, and she has a few different recipes based on whatever she has on hand.

Favorite color: maybe like a rusty orange

Favorite music: she will listen to anything, but her favorite is probably folk rock, or sometimes stuff with soul or old school country vibes. big thief is a good example of an artist she’d be into i think! also was very into the indie music scene in her college town and still follows some of those bands.

Favorite genre (and favorite movie/book/etc): loves old, campy, unselfconsciously optimistic sci-fi. loves star trek tos. also a fan of documentaries of all kinds.

Favorite season: summer

Anything else you'd like to share: a kiss for you reading this mwah

"do this for me" is so. it's so.

veronica is like "well what if i was gonna do it anyway? what if i was gonna do it because, romance aside, i trust your competence and judgement and that you will always have my best interests at heart?? what if not digging my heels in for once when you tell me a threat is out of my league could have been a significant character moment for me??? what then."

#veronica is also like. 'listen i am not trying to confront my feelings for you either but i Have made my peace w them. #and i also deeply value your friendship and leadership. i would wait forever and be happy just to know you.

[thefossilwhale]

ok so instead of doing that ask meme, i went rogue and wrote what some of my ocs’ dating sim routes would be like! find your dream girl below the cut 💞

sabrina’s route is the most reactive, and her initial dates/compliments have a lot of subtle variations based on how you play. there are a few picture perfect dates before you realize things aren’t progressing, and there’s a crisis point where you can either assume she’s not that interested and move on or confront her about it! you need high approval + almost perfect responses in that convo to get out of it without her dumping you, but if you make it through, she is the sweetest most affectionate RO you could ask for! kind of awkward and unsure how to act around you at first, but there are lots of dinner dates (both homemade and fancy restaurants, as you prefer) and she also tries to snuggle you for like 2 hours before getting out of bed in the morning.

selene’s route would require a very secure MC (which sounds insane considering her canon RO is alvis, i know). for a while she gives almost no reaction to your advances. but at the romance lock-in point, she makes things very easy for you! she took all that time of silence to process your feelings and what she wanted, but after that she’s very direct (even blunt) and pretty great at communicating. her dates include her staring at you lovingly while you ramble, late night stargazing, and sneaking into places after hours just because you can!

veronica is confusing because she is simultaneously the carefree jokester trope and the unsociable workaholic trope. so hopefully you like both! her route doesn’t have the same Complications as the first two, but she is a little slow to open up and appreciates you giving her space. lots of teasing in her dialogue, and if you start flirting she’ll play along. her dates include movie nights (if you let her pick, you end up with documentaries or insanely campy sci-fi/B movie horror), indie band concerts at dive bars, and late nights where you help her catch up on work!

alina gracefully sidesteps all attempts at romance, and is so polite and charming about it that you fall more deeply in love with her even though you probably assume she’s not an RO. you can tell you’re on the right track when she lets herself giggle at your jokes. you have to take a lot of the initiative, but if you really stick to her path she will finally let you in! she dotes on you (not as obviously as sab, but alina very quietly takes care of you and makes sure you’re always comfortable) and is the best listener in the world. alina doesn’t do a lot of planned Dates; her route is a lot of sweet, quiet, private moments that you just happen into together.

damaris knows you like her almost before you know, and does nothing with this information but secretly enjoy it. once you’ve caught up, she’s happy to respond in kind to any of your advances but treats it more like a fun pastime than anything serious. if you insist on bringing emotions into it, she tells you very plainly that she’s not your girl, but now that you’ve opened that door... she’s kind of thinking about it? it might be nice?? if- if you were serious, that is. she knows this is weird. you could get a very dramatic, kiss-in-the-rain or running-to-the-airport scene, or just a short and sweet confession depending on how you play it. she likes game night dates--board games, carnival games, video games, anything competitive or strategy-based--but is mostly up for anything!

#i was gonna do one for eleanor too but i got Tired. she's like an alina remix! and her personality/canon romance is so hard to separate- #-from her in-game circumstances. hard to imagine her as a dating sim RO. she's a dating sim protag trying to marry rich and then she- #-accidentally falls in love w her betrothed. which you'd think would be a good thing but she is not pleased #oc: sabrina wiseman #oc: selene #oc: veronica langford #oc: alina #oc: damaris

[thefossilwhale]

this is so painful but,,,,, 🤢 + veronica,,,, 😔✊

wants to be taken seriously as a professional but still dresses in what i can best describe as Indie Rock Athleisure

thinks that if she turns up her car radio loud enough to cover up the ever-present concerning noises from her engine, maybe they will just go away

plays a lot of o/verwatch. like a lot. very good at it, knows all the strategy, follows it as an esport. incurable gamer

girl please decorate your home, it still looks like you live in a college dorm

she'll defend herself against minor insults but stays silent when a loved one neglects her because well no one owes me love :) and this is just the way life is <3 eternal loneliness <3

used to date and was genuinely in love with bobby. is now romancing adam. why do you let blonde men speak to you like this

#omg hiiiii tay <3 thank you! #also. i know i saw ur rb of this meme a little after u posted so i didn't send gracie bc i figured someone else probably would have #but Let Me Know if you need a gracie when all is said and done and as much as it will pain me to send her name w that emoji i will do it :( #asks #oc: veronica langford

[thefossilwhale]

before book 1, veronica was so bummed about being stuck back in wayhaven and so convinced she would leave as soon as possible that she never decorated her apartment. so now she’s cursed with the basic apartment style until the end of time. please let my girl redecorate

(honestly it probably is still the same because "well I'm Busy and that sounds like a waste of time!" but maybe there are some fun clashing blankets on her couch now. a few inexplicable thrift store trinkets, too weird and cheap not to buy. one wrinkled star trek poster on the wall.)

#oc: veronica langford #that's right babe i'm putting Posts in your Tag again!!! #anyway this post brought to you by my memory of veronica's boring ass room at the warehouse bc her home gave them No inspo whatsoever

[thefossilwhale]

🧡,🍊 and 🥝 for veronica please? 💕

🧡 Who is your OC’s favourite person? Why is this person the top of their list and have they actually met them (an idol or rolemodel or celeb can be someone’s favourite after all!).

ooh this a good question made difficult by the fact that she’s very bitter and reclusive at the start of book 1, so not fond of very many people. to summarize, bobby is her ex and the plagiarism fiasco cost her major opportunities and forced her to move back to wayhaven. she studied science, and that’s her main skill in-game so she wanted verda’s job. and she’s just feeling ashamed to be back home with nothing to show, on top of intense professional dissatisfaction.

which is a decent segue to the fact that her favorite person is probably verda?? she was determined to resent him at first, but ends up really admiring him. veronica wishes she could be more like him, and eventually that jealousy turns into genuine friendship/respect. after she’s been with unit bravo for a while, she starts to really vibe with M (on their bff route! but i’m never sure whether mason or morgan is Canon for her) and they would also contend for this spot, probably by the end of book 3.

🍊 What is your OC’s favourite meal? Snack? Dessert? Drink? Any reasons behind this besides liking how it tastes?

veronica is a decent cook but doesn’t really like to take the time to make food. she likes things that are simple to make and easy to eat on the go; her kitchen is stocked with some basic sandwich ingredients and a bunch of meal prepped tupperwares of, like, chicken and rice. for snacks, she mostly enjoys things that hurt her mouth. salt and vinegar chips, anything spicy, sour candy. she takes her coffee black, too.

🥝 What does a bad mental health day look like for your OC? Walk us through it with them. What kind of things can help them out of this slump and what kinds of things comfort them when they start to feel like this?

it’s probably hard to spot a bad mental health day for veronica, because superficially she seems incredibly focused/productive. her preferred method of self-destruction is to prioritize her work above her mental health, so when she’s feeling bad, she throws herself into it.

she doesn’t necessarily withdraw or hide away; she’ll be somewhere public like her office or something. but she’ll be very short with anyone who tries to talk to her, and you have to start the guessing game of whether she’s just very in the zone or needs to be dragged away from her desk and reminded that she has worth unrelated to her productivity.

🩸 or 🌅 for your wayhaven detective?

🩸 - Does your OC believe in blood being thicker than water? (meaning family relationships and loyalties are the most important)

so my main detective, veronica, didn’t quite resent rebecca growing up but was never close with her. she loved her mom (in a vague, “well she’s my mom” sort of way) and never blamed her for not being around--except for moments when rebecca actually tried to act like her mom. example: bobby is veronica’s ex, and part of the reason she stayed w him so long is that her mom disapproved! so family, and what veronica feels she owes her mom and vice versa, got more complicated for her starting in college and into the start of book 1.

rebecca was always away focusing on her career, so veronica followed her example and threw herself fully into school as a kid, then into college, then into prepping for a career in science which then didn’t work out so she got stuck in wayhaven working a job she never wanted. and now with the agency, she’s working with her mom as her boss, kind of, and she’s constantly frustrated with how rebecca is trying to bring personal, familial issues (with how protective she is over veronica) into a professional setting, where she’s desperately trying to feel equal and useful.

so... i’m not sure if that really answered the question at all, but there are some of veronica’s thoughts on family!

🌅 - What is your OCs favourite time of day? Are they a morning person or a night owl?

veronica is naturally a night owl and has more energy at night, but she usually uses it to work or take care of important things. so she prefers mornings because they’re often lazier! she tends to sacrifice sleep to get up a couple hours early and enjoy a morning where she can just laze about and doesn’t have any demands on her time until later that day.
