Background / History

Vera and her twin sister Irene were orphaned, possess elven blood, and were purchased by Butler Hahn for Altair's household. Before entering the manor, Vera had been taught to act cute and provide “emotional value” because buyers favored cute children; she also recalls being denied food if she failed her training. 27 31

Hahn hired Vera and Irene as Altair's personal maids. Vera's assigned duties include handling clothing, makeup, personal items, and accompanying Altair on outings. 20

Vera chose the Monster pathway because of its association with luck. Altair brewed her potion, instructed her to meditate afterward, and later arranged Mysticism lessons and combat training for her alongside Freya and Irene. 44

Personality
