Appearance:
Veronica is a blue-eyed, tiny blonde, standing at 5’1”. She has long blonde hair. She dresses comfortably.
Personality:
Veronica Mars, contrary to what she may say, is definitely not a marshmallow. She’s cynical and strong, determined and a fierce friend. She’s gooey on the inside but in order to pierce the centre one has to get past her many, many walls. And that's how she's not exactly a marshmallow-it's difficult to get to the centre of it all when it comes to Veronica Mars.
Veronica was once a naive, sweet girl who lacked the backbone she has now. This went hand in hand with her friendship group-Lilly Kane, Duncan Kane and Logan Echolls-as she was a part of the “09ers”, the wealthy kids of Neptune High. Not wealthy herself, she was only accepted in the group as she was dating Duncan and was best friends with Lilly Kane. This acceptance would be seen again when Veronica was dating Logan in season one and her re-acceptance back into the 09er club. However, during this time, Veronica, the sheriff’s daughter, was protected by her father’s influence in the community and her friends. After the death of her best friend Lilly, her father’s persistence of the Kanes’ guilt in Lilly’s murder and her choice to stand by his side rather than her friends saw her ostracisation from her friendship group. Thus, Veronica was the victim of taunts and pranks.
A large turning point in Veronica’s life is her rape. After that night, Veronica left behind that timid, naive girl. She believed that it occurred at the hands of the 90ers, as a way to punish her for taking the side of her father rather than theirs. As a result, Veronica decided to fight back instead of running away from her problems with her once-friends. She continued to stand by her father’s side and became fiercely determined to find Lilly’s killer. At school, the taunts continued to happen. Gradually, Veronica grew a strong backbone; this saw the end of her tears and the beginning of her fighting back verbally. She mostly employs sarcasm to deflect taunts as well as hinting at information she’s uncovered through her detective work to blackmail those who get on her wrong side.
Veronica is intelligent, having come incredibly close in scoring many scholarships over the course of the seasons, only to miss the chance by the implementation of Pirate Points and the bias towards giving points to 09er students. Veronica juggled assisting her father in his Private Investigator business as well as studying for school.
Despite her hard, cynical shell, Veronica is a good friend at heart. She cut down Wallace Fennel from a pole on his first day of school and was open to him sitting with her at lunch. She is open to helping fellow students-taunters, such as Logan Echolls, and the like-while also requesting a fee. Despite her humiliation and her public ostracism, Veronica is a good person at heart. She may charge those she dislikes more than her usual fee-as seen in season three where she charged Dick a lot of money for investigating the innocence of the Pi Sigs-but she does her job and she does it well. Despite Logan Echolls being the dominant bully during the months after Lilly’s murder, she was open to helping him prove his mother was alive-going so far as to show a softer side when he appeared at her door as she, herself, had experienced the loss of a mother, though in a different way to Logan's mother's death.
Veronica has trouble letting people in. Her easily accusing Logan of raping her during their relationship in season one implies that Veronica has difficulty trusting people and easily flips from Veronica, the girl, to Veronica, the detective. This trait of hers may also be a result of the bullying of once-close friend Logan Echolls, who used her missing-in-action mother’s alcoholism against her at many opportunities. Her mother’s abandonment may have had a great influence to this trait of Veronica’s. She’s had the most important people in her life-her mother, Duncan, Lilly, Wallace, Logan-leave her without a word.
Veronica has a black and white view of the world, as implied by her statement that the good guy (her father) stays while the bad guy (her mother) leaves. This stems from her mother’s abandonment and betrayal as she uses Veronica’s college money for her own use.
All in all, Veronica is a complicated girl. She’s still trying to figure out the parts of her life and find a balance where she isn’t constantly pushing people away and letting them in. Veronica may find it difficult to trust, but when she does, she proves to be a true friend. Her determination to solve cases and problems, to right wrongs, proves to be a hindrance to some of her relationships and a blessing to some. In conclusion, Veronica is a detective first and a girl later, which is a flaw she struggles to find a balance with.
History: Here and Here. Not quite sure if I’m supposed to write up a summarised history as she’s a fandom character and isn’t AU, but if I’m meant to, I’ll be happy to write one up.
Events:
Two events that occur in Veronica’s life happen to be interconnected. The first is the death of her best friend, Lilly Kane. Lilly was murdered and found lying near her family’s pool. Veronica’s father, Keith, was the sheriff at the time, and as he was called into the scene, Veronica was also with him. She saw the body of her best friend and Duncan-Lilly’s brother and Veronica’s ex-boyfriend-in shock over discovering the body. The events that happened after this are as follows: Keith accused Lilly’s parents of her murder, and went on a rampage to try and prove his theory correct. This created a divide within the community and within the Mars family. For the latter, the most notable divide occurred between Keith and his wife, Lianne, the latter later abandoning the two of them as their family fell apart. For the community, it became a rather personal thing for Veronica-she was forced to pick the side of her friends or the side of her father. She chose her father’s. As a result, Veronica was ostracised from her peers. Veronica became a victim of taunting and bullying, and evolved from a shy, timid girl to a strong and sharp-tongued girl.
Another event is her rape. In an attempt to show her peers that she was not afraid of them, she attended Shelly Pomroy’s party. She was slipped a GHB drug in her drink and, soon enough, blacked out. She awoke the next morning to find herself in a bed and her underwear missing. Veronica reported the rape to only be ridiculed by the new Sheriff, Lamb, and continued to attend school with the endless thoughts of her rapist being one of the students she passes in the halls. She even goes so far as to blame Logan Echolls-her once friend, once tormentor and once boyfriend-of her rape.
Writing Sample:
So, that was a dud.
Veronica pulls her earphones out of her ears, letting them drop haphazardly into her lap as she leans back against her car seat with a loud exhale. “Well, Chip, it seems you’ve proved me wrong in this one.” She pulls herself into a proper sitting position and turns the key in the ignition. The Le Baron begins to purr and, as Veronica’s about to flick on her lights, there’s movement in the house she had been observing only minutes before.
“Wait a second,” she squints out at the house. It’s dark with minimal light from the street lights. The people exiting the house don’t turn on the porch lights-don’t think to make it easier for the private investigator with a quiz later today to get the picture and get home to sleep for said quiz in a few hours. “What do we have here?” Veronica reaches over to the passenger seat of her car and pulls out her binoculars. Shifting them so she can get a clear image of what is transpiring on the porch, she finds herself distracted by the flashing light of her phone. It’s sitting haphazardly on the seat, the bottom half of it sitting underneath her bag.
Her hand acts of its own accord, grabbing the phone as though it’s more curious than she is to see who is calling or texting her this early in the morning.
“Logan,” she rolls her eyes with the name. He’d sent her another voicemail-the last one she’d deleted after hearing only half of it, after his drunken slurs and judgmental tone reverberated around the quiet room of the Mars’ lounge room and kitchen-and just like the last time, she feels herself placing the phone to her ear, the binoculars placed in her lap, and presses the button to hear his voice.
“Ah, Veronica’s voicemail, what a pleasant surprise ... ”
