...Veronica?

I don't mean to sound like a Negative Nancy, but what's so special about Veronica? I don't understand how she's so popular and warranted 2nd place in CYL. I get that she's the main antagonist of Heroes, but I am really surprised that she beat characters like Eirika

Someone enlighten me.

I feel like many people voted for her because they realized that this is the only way to get her in the game. She's probably never going to come out as an actual unit within the game, so by having these CYL events that let you choose any character, by voting for her she could come into the game as a playable unit.

That sounds fair, but I feel like IS was going to release her anyway given her resentment toward Surtr in the story. Now she's getting a Brave costume before her normal debut, which is really strange.

Not really actually. We got Spring Xander before actual Xander, people got +10 Spring Xanders even. Not to mention we have Charlotte who's ONLY available in her limited bridal version.

At least Camilla didn't take second, after robbing Ryoma or any Hoshidan character's third spot in a New Years banner when she has no place to be in.

I've no idea why people voted for her. Her character is a lonly girl who wants to kill everyone who's happy but enslaving people ot do it for her. She only just had her first instance of character development in the last chapter when she decided burning every single person in the world to death isn't a good thing. How is she a likable character?

Veronica is simply annoying. She is a little child which wants to rule the world. Camilla is a slut. None of both has an interesting character. But at least I understand why to vote them. Although I don't like it.

Hey, buddy, don't take it personally. I'm all for not holding punches and being kind of a tasteless prick online, but only if someone can take it. If it legit is getting to you, you got me in your corner. I GUESS you can use the Forseti.

Actually, she has hinted at depth. Firstly, there is a curse. Secondly, she actually wants to be a good ruler. And lastly, there was a story beat a while back now where she talks about wishing she could feel and be normal, and by doing this is the only way she doesn't feel pain and emptiness. Something to that effect.

The truth is, the story to Heroes is straight balls, and the characters are stupidly cliche cookie cutters. But they've actually put effort into Veronica. She COULD become really well developed. We'll just need to wait and see.

I agree that, out of the Heroes characters, she has by far the most characterisation which is as you said comparing her to cookie cutters that make up Askr. I still come back to the enslaving people to slay the happy royals she wishes she could be. Safe to say I haven't warmed to her as a character but if she's a good unit then I'm happy for her to be in the game.

Well, I can't tell why it is exactly her, but I'm glad someone from Heroes made it.
I did not vote for her, she is a little child who wants to rule the world. Who likes such a person?
