A natural-born masochist, she loves being used as Veronica’s chair and being left alone. Because of this, she is treated roughly, but she smiles and seems satisfied. In dungeons, she fights while trying to act as Veronica’s shield. She seems to enjoy being scolded by people other than Veronica, and even begs Hajime and the others…

Veronica is a very fun character to play. I hope I can fully convey her charm.
