'''[[Veronica]]''' (ベロニカ, ''Beronika'') is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]''. She is a brash, prodigal mage who wields offensive spells and comes from the land of [[Arboria]]. Both she and her twin sister, [[Serena (Dragon Quest XI)|Serena]], are Keepers who have sworn themselves to protect and aid the [[Luminary (Dragon Quest XI)|Luminary]] on his journey.

==Appearance & Personality==
Veronica appears to be a very young girl with light skin, indigo-colored eyes, and long blonde hair with a fringe worn in two braids, tied in orange hairbands at the ends. She wears a long red wizard's hat, a red dress with a large red bow in the front over a cream-colored smock with puffed sleeves, blue bracelets, and purple leather shoes with orange socks. She also carries a very large [[Heavy Wand (weapon type)|wand]] topped with a red orb that is much taller than her.

She is a strong-willed magical prodigy, but hates being treated like a child. This is due to the fact that Veronica is actually older than she appears, but after an encounter in [[Hotto]] with monsters serving the [[Mordegon|Lord of Shadows]], her appearance was transformed into that of a young girl and she temporarily lost her magical powers. With the aid of the Luminary and [[Erik]], Veronica was able to rescue her sister Serena and defeat the monster who stole her powers, [[Jarvis]], but she did not return to her true age. Despite her displeasure at her childish form, Veronica enjoys getting piggyback rides from [[Hendrik]] due to his height, something that she wouldn't be able to do normally.<ref>[[Dragon Quest XI Character Book]]</ref>

Although she has an abrasive personality and frequently clashes with others, Veronica has a kind heart and frequently worries about her younger twin due to Serena's haplessness. Since the two sisters traveled alone for some time, Veronica enjoys sitting around the campfire with her companions, especially watching Serena perform with her harp. Due to her sworn mission to protect the Luminary, she has a tendency to be hard on others, but is particularly hard on herself and holds herself to the highest standards. Her favorite type of food is spicy and her most prized possession is the flute that she received from the elder of Arboria. She relieves stress by arguing with Erik. Veronica's ambition is to become a magic teacher when peace is achieved.

Veronica and her twin sister Serena are the descendants of the ancient sage [[Serenica]], who accompanied the original Luminary [[Erdwin]] on his journey against the [[Calasmos|Dark One]]. The two hail from the land of Arboria and are Keepers, a group of people dedicated to protecting the Luminary and helping him fight against the evils of Erdrea. The two girls have known since birth that they would aid the Luminary on his journey, eventually setting out from their hometown after the Elder of Arboria received a vision that the Luminary had reappeared in the world.

Veronica is a [[Mage|mage]], being capable of casting an array of powerful offensive spells in battle, including the [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Bang]], and the majority of the [[Crack]] series of spells, as well as access to some useful utility spells such as [[Sap]] and [[Decelerate]]. However, she has some of the lowest max HP and Resilience in battle, so care must be taken that she does not fall victim to the enemy's attacks in battle. Her weapons of choice are heavy wands and whips and her equipment is limited to robes and other pieces of clothing and hats for spellcasters.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
Veronica appears as a DLC costume for the [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Mii_Swordfighter_(SSBU) Mii Swordfighter].

==Etymology==
Veronica is the Latin alteration of the name Berenice, a name which means "bringing victory". The spelling of Veronica is influenced by the Latin phrase ''vera icon'', which means true image, possibly referring to Veronica's transformation and her true fate. Veronica is the name of a saint who lived in Jerusalem in the 1st century AD who famously wiped Jesus's face with a cloth and then found his image imprinted on it. It became a popular girls' name in medieval times due to this legend. It was not common in modern times until the 19th century, when the name was brought from France and Scotland.

The word ''vim'' is an antiquated adjective that describes someone as being very lively and full of high energy.

==Trivia==
* Veronica and Serena can be seen as parallels to the sisters [[Maya]] and [[Meena]] from ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'':
** Veronica and Maya are users of offensive magic, while Serena and Meena use restorative and defensive magic.
** The two pairs share near identical appearances (although Maya and Meena are not twins). Veronica and Maya have fringes in their hair, while Meena and Serena do not.
** The personalities and temperaments of both pairs of sisters are very different from each other. Veronica and Maya are brash, impulsive, and fiery, while Serena and Meena are more level-headed.
** Veronica is the older of the two twins and Maya is a few years older than Meena.
* Veronica is the party member who levels up the fastest, and she will often be ahead of the other characters.
* She is able to dress like [[Stella]] and High Priestess [[Jacqueline]] by equipping certain pieces of armor.
* Veronica is the only party member who has the same name in the original Japanese and English versions of the game.
* In her child form, Veronica is 110 cm tall, or 3 feet and 7 inches.
* In the international [https://www.famitsu.com/news/202001/11190471.html fan poll] for ''Dragon Quest XI'' released by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, Veronica was voted the second most popular female character in the game and the fourth overall, with a total of 506 votes.
* When she is afflicted with [[Sultry Dance]] in battle, Veronica will perform the can-can.
* Each of the Luminary's companions represents one of the classes in [[Dragon Quest III]]. Veronica represents the mage.
