My character for the pantomime is named Veronica Anastasia Greene. She is 27 years old and is originally from The East-end of London. She therefore has a cockney accent, which is far more prominent when she goes about selling her goods at The Market. She wears a traditional Merrivale dress, has back hair and big brown eyes, impelling individuals to perceive her as a sweet and innocent young lady.
Veronica's relocation to Merrivale was due to her family disowning her after they discovered that she had a secret life as a thief. Despite this, she is a friendly, happy-go-lucky type of girl, who is not very lady-like at all. It was her cheeky and slightly mischievous persona that had gotten her involved with Mickey Richards when she was 14. He lead her into a life of deception, dishonestly and shoplifting, brainwashing her into believing that what they were doing was in no way 'wrong' and that it was the only way to accomplish her dreams of being wealthy. Although she was quite good at English, she failed every other class at her school and has always seriously lacked in common sense.
Nowadays, Veronica has discerned that most beneficial thing she can do for herself is to put the past behind her. She adores all of her fellow villagers and enjoys laughing and gossipping with her dearest of friends. However, she relentlessly goes about stealing vegetables from the local Grocer's and gives it away for free at her stall in The Market. She goes to these tremendous lengths because her primary desire is to be reacquainted with the fantastic warmth, comfort and love of a family and she considers the people of Merrivale the perfect candidates for new family members. Recently, she has also begun selling bread, as requested by the people of Merrivale, which are of course stolen form the local Grocers'.
While attempting to thieve an over-sized turkey from the dining room table of the Princes Palace last year, she was spotted by a guard. He mistook her for an excessively considerate guest, who had volunteered to set the table for The Royal Family. Subsequently, a day later, she was offered a part-time job as a servant girl- which she enthusiastically accepted. She has always dreamt about what it would be like to be posh and privileged, which is the sole reason why she began shoplifting in the first place. This job is the perfect opportunity for her to act ridiculously rich, and get on the good side of The Upper Class Members of Merrivale.
Veronica enjoys a good party and is a huge fan of The Royal Family. On the other hand she manages to restrain herself from getting too carried away at The Ball as she takes her part-time job extremely seriously. She gets on well with her fellow Servants and, like all of them, she wants to make sure that all The Guests at The Ball are satisfied with their service.
