Weronika (ヴェロニカ?) is a character released on the 2nd Anniversary of the Groovy Mix mobile game. She is a member of the group Abyssmare.
Profile[]
Although a member of "Abyssmare", she has a strong rivalry with Neo and always picks fights with her. She has great physical capacity, is athletic and has sharp dance moves. People around her are often frightened by her quick temper, but she has a compassionate and caring side, especially towards children. She also argues with Elsie often, but usually loses.[3][4]
Appearance[]
Weronika has short dusty rose-pink hair with brown ends. She has slanted pink eyes and sports a tomboyish streak.
Background[]
Weronika's father is a touring musician working in Japan and used to be a member of a reasonably popular band which however, disbanded after 2 years of activity. Afterwards, he had trouble making ends meet, leading to him returning to the United States, moving in together with, and marrying Weronika's mother who was also his childhood friend. Due to their troubles with money, they had to start living in the poor and dangerous environment where Weronika was born. However, even after Weronika was born, her father refused to work and wasted time by gambling and drinking, forcing her mother to work her fingers to the bone in order to feed her and later on, her younger siblings as well. Eventually, her mother collapsed and ended up becoming hospitalized and unable to work. Around the same time, her father left back to Japan while also leaving all of his debts for his family to take care of.[5]
Due to her surroundings, Weronika was unable to get a proper education and had to constantly protect her younger siblings. Before his disappearance, her father taught her how to sing when he was drunk. Weronika later became involved in her home area's darker part where "people gambled on anything and everything" and she started partaking in singing battles (referred to as "music vale tudo matches"), and was able to provide for her siblings and pay for her mother's treatments, as well as pay off the debts, thanks to the money people had bet on her.
One day, while Weronika was onstage and boasting how nobody really can beat her, the rest of the Abyssmare members appeared and performed after her. Feeling defeat for the first time, and after a conversation between Weronika and Neo, the latter invited her to join the unit. Weronika then took her offer in hopes that one day, she'll be able to overcome Neo.[6]
Personality[]
| “ | Defeat Neo and become the main vocalist! | ” |
Weronika has a rough way of speaking and can easily get angered. From the outside, she may appear to be a rather rude and conflicted person who has developed antagonistic relationships even with her unit mates, and she has an excessively casual way of carrying herself. However, she is actually a sincere and caring person who looks out for others, including animals, and is quite appreciative of anything offered to her. Despite getting angry when Elsie calls her an idiot, she also recognizes that she isn't that smart as a result of not being able to get proper education.
She also has a gentle and shy side, which is especially pronounced when something intimate, like a kiss seen on a movie screen, embarrasses her. Another instance is when she is instantly "disarmed" when Aoi impressed her with her unrivaled charm and princely demeanor during their chance meeting. Weronika also gets flustered when offered to visit a boutique shop and a cake buffet, since she considers them too "cute" for her.[7] Because of this side of hers, she is seen as endearing to most of her Yoba Academy classmates, including the Photon Maiden student council seniors, who dote on her with souvenirs[8] and snacks.[9]
