Name: Vera De León
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Rank: Member
Appearance: With a short, four foot eight stature, no one expects a lot from her. That is, until you see how absolutely shredded she is. She is just pure muscle. Her skin is a rusty clay color and the color alone makes her muscles somehow seem so much bigger. She has an apple body shape with such wide shoulders and hips with strong, tree-stump-like legs that support her. She has a plumpy, waddle-like walk to her because of this, but if anyone makes fun of her, she is sure to beat them up. She has burn scars along the left side of her body up to the middle of her neck down to her ankles. She generally covers the burn scars although not because she wants to hide them. These scars sometimes become itchy or hurt to her so she tries to keep them bandaged so she doesn’t scratch at them.
Vera has a round, child-like face, but she is anything but childish the closer you look. Her brown eyes are always narrowed and her lips are pressed tightly into a frown. Her once long hair has been cut short to what looks more like a boy’s style of hair cut despite how sloppy it was done. An orange bandanna wraps around her head and covers her hair like a headband or a trashy sun hat that fancy English women wear.
She mostly wears black boots with long white socks, shorts (as strange as it is for a girl of her time to wear), and a brown belt. A thin white shirt that is covered in dirt and grime is what covers her upper body and she wears a pale brown poncho over that to protect her shoulders from the sun. The poncho even comes with a hood in case there is a sandstorm. Speaking of a sandstorm, as well as the bandanna on her head that functions as a mask when she pulls it over her mouth, she dawns a pair of handmade goggles that protect her from the sand. Under the poncho and over her shirt, she keeps a pale coyote skin satchel loosely around her shoulder with water, her favorite knife, and more.
Personality: Vera speaks in mostly broken English and Spanish so sometimes it is hard to understand exactly what she is saying, but she is very expressive in how she communicates, using gestures, intense visual features, and being very vocal. She is as stubborn as a mule in mud and as gruff and mean as one too sometimes. Even though she has a rude exterior, she is sweet and caring deep down. It doesn’t take much for her exterior to shatter like a thin eggshell. She’ll still be rough though no matter what. She shows her care for people through violence and tough love. She is pessimistic and realistic on her views in life and if you ask her anything she’ll give you the blunt truth, no matter how uncomfortable she is with it or how uncomfortable she’ll make you feel. That’s both a pro and con with her. Vera has nothing to hide, but she is so open that any opinion of someone is just out there in the open. She doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her either since she would rather be training and fighting rather than worry about social issues and dumb human feelings. She couldn’t care much for dating or love stuff either. She’s had people flirt with her, but those people generally end up in a doctor’s office or feeling incredibly uncomfortable as she harasses them in Spanish for daring to try and tempt her with dating someone who would probably never truly care about her. Trust is a big thing with her and she always thinks that when people try to date her, they are going to manipulate her. That’s why her friends are always closer than her lovers.
Strengths: Strength- Her strength is unmatched in the Wild West and any who oppose it can meet her fists face to face. Vera is not afraid to prove how strong she is and is strong in more ways than one. Her core, arm, and leg strength all being incredibly equal and incredibly powerful.
Resourceful- Like her goggles, she is able to take things from her surroundings and make due with what she is given. In fact, most of her clothes and equipment are what she has made.
Loyal- Vera is fiercely loyal. No matter what, she would never betray someone who she genuinely trusts. While it is hard to gain her trust to begin with, she wouldn’t hesitate to die for anyone who she cares for. Not a single hesitation.
Weaknesses: Communication- Vera speaks very broken English so it is often difficult to understand what she is saying. Because of this, miscommunications occur regularly and make performing tasks a bit harder to carry out.
Range- While she can throw far and throw well, aiming just isn’t one of Vera’s strong suits. She struggles with aiming normally with throwing and that’s not to mention with a gun or with a bow.
Speed- Vera may be strong, but she is slow. It is hard for her to keep up with her opponents, so she has to rely on her strength alone which isn’t always good in a fight.
Rage- Vera has fits of rage and anger over very seemingly small things. She’ll give a hesitant apology later, but in the moment, she will be fully ready to beat anyone up if they cross her when she isn’t in a good mood.
Other: N/a
