Someone who does not know what they are fighting for are simply fighting to survive! They are no better than an animal!

Vera is a participant of Crab 3, as part of the team Stuffed Crust Crusaders. She’s a deported immigrant from a troubled nation that struggles with both civil war and a robotic apocalypse, in which she lives along with her nurse girlfriend, Polina, using her sniper skills in order to fight back and overcome her dangerous environment.

Appearance

Personality

Vera is usually quiet and reserved, but shows to be an idealist at heart. She only fights once the cause is clear to her and shows a lot of pragmatism during battles in order to succeed.

Vera shows some level of contempt towards machines, as expected due to her origin and world, and seems to put a lot of value in the human spirit and self knowledge.

Powers and Abilities

Although not super-human by any means, Vera is shown to be an accomplished sniper, capable of taking impressive shots with total certainty. Her weapon of choice is a muzzle-loading flintlock rifle, but she has also shown use of acid vials, and explosives.

During the final round, she showed her ability to hunt and bait the physically superior Cheras into different traps in order to even the playing field.

Background

History

Round 1

Sack and Google (lost, entry) vs Vera (won, entry) in Tech Recovery. Match page: C3 R1 - Sack and Google vs Vera

In Centuria, Sack joined the Empire while Vera was made part of the Forest Alliance.

In Sack’s reality, he was imprisoned by the empire due to being made of paper, where they tested his programming skills with some rudimentary tests. After passing them, the Empire offered Sack his freedom if he would activate the dormant robot on the forest and take it to the capital, which Sack accepted thinking he could make some money out of it, although he considered he could not be the only one with such an idea. Meanwhile, Vera had been sent by the Forest Alliance to destroy the robot with a vial of acid for being too dangerous. Sack walked into the giant robot by chance, noting the king likely had a superiority complex due to its size, and tried to break into its sealed door with a blowtorch, failing and just getting dirt on him. In the end he managed to enter and while looking for valuables he accidentally turned it on, making it stand. Meanwhile Vera climbed into it, while Sack began easily figuring out how to pilot the mech. As Vera tried to pour the vial in the inner machinery, Sack grabbed her hand and declared he had found the robot first, and the conflict ensued - however, the robot walking sent both flying and the vial broke, opening a hole on the ground. Vera tried to use her gun to shoot at some inner gears then, but Sack grabbed her leg and tripped her. Sack tried to hit Vera with her own gun, turning a lever by accident, but she easily grabbed it and shot at him, missing. Sack mocked Vera, but she quickly recharged - however the lever pulled made the robot tilt and she fell backwards, the ground falling as she tried to grab it due to being weakened by the acid, and Vera fell off the machine to her doom. Happily Sack declared it was a job well done, while the robot stormed through the capital and its terrorized citizens.

In Vera’s canon reality, the Admiral Pizza found Sack, having heard he was good with computers, which Sack admitted was true. He gave the sack then the job of fixing a broken computer in a temple which could create algorithms predicting the actions of every person in the kingdom, allowing the Empire to hunt down its enemies, telling him there would probably be no one there to interrupt him - this would be in exchange for his freedom as Sack had been arrested for being made of paper-. When a soldier wondered if it was wise to send Sack alone, the Admiral admitted the idea of knowing the future made sailing boring so it was half half to him regarding the matter - it would all depend on whether Sack gained any more convictions in his life during CRAB or not (foreshadowing). As Sack worked on the machine, Vera appeared, and aiming her gun at him told him to stop. She interrogated Sack, who explained her the computer’s ability and purpose, and she called him a fool who was being manipulated by the Admiral who would throw him in prison once he was done, and noted how Sack did not even run away despite being alone, noting he had no convictions and just ensured his own destruction. Sack’s response was to pull a gun on her and shoot, but Vera had seen it coming and disarmed him by shooting at his hand. She pointed out he was like an animal and that one should know what they fight for, - he could create the best machine that could understand anything yet not even know his own cause. As she did this, she turned him into an explosive device, leaving the temple as Sack exploded bringing down the structure and computer with him.

Round 2

Rhea Nohoa and Monkshood (won, entry) vs Vera (lost, entry) in Tempura. Match page: C3 R2 - Rhea and Monkshood vs Vera

In Japan, Rhea took on the Anime Potion, Monkshood took the kemono and gender potion becoming a glasses milf, and Rhea took on either the gender potion becoming male or the kemono one becoming a catgirl.

In Vera’s reality, Rhea and Monkshood wandered with the first complaining there wasn’t much to do in Japan. Vera had been transported there first from Centuria and was hungry as she had missed on the forest alliance feast for her victory. She decided to follow them deeming them suspicious while the two wondered how to get some money and where to eat, Rhea almost catching the Polish girl spying. Rhea ultimately found a tempura place run by Luigi which was hiring and they began cooking, Rhea ignoring the recipe and doing her own while admitting she would not mind to do that for her future. Monkshood asked her if she had no stake in this tournament, and Rhea screamed she did not even know what was her purpose - right then, the spying Vera fell from the roof. Angered, Rhea threw the tempura at her and Vera instinctively ate it turning into a catgirl. Seeing someone with seemingly powers like her, Rhea decided to not give up on the tournament and continue fighting, leaving Vera to despair about what to tell her girlfriend Polina regarding her transformation.

In Rhea’s canon reality, Rhea left Monkshood eating lunch as she went on to walk in Japan, wondering what her reason to be was and lamenting not having money. She and Vera encountered a restaurant owner who got into a fight with his chef and kicked him out, so he hired them on the spot if they would compete to see who made the best tempura. They both accepted for 3k Yen, but Rhea soon found she had no good ingredients, while Vera had brought her own. She tried to snatch condiment from Vera, who stopped her with a knife and told her she pitied her. Rhea considered killing Vera, but ultimately realized she wanted to prove she was better and decided to take the ginger by force, yet the communist slapped it away. Right then, Monkshood came in his milf form, which Rhea recognized due to his bell, and Rhea invited him to sit. Monkshood then pretended the tempura Rhea made was delicious, but noted there was something in it, with Rhea admitting she had put some of the anime potion in it - it gave Monkshood a split tail like a Nekomata. Vera, who had been goaded to also try it, got instead her face full of holes like a Junji Ito character and died. She then threatened the store owner to give her the money, and as they left the store Monkshood scolded her about her violent attitude and actions.

Round 3

Cheras (won, entry) vs Vera (lost, entry). Match page: C3 R3 - Cheras vs Vera

Vera faced the very much animal-like Cheras during the final match. In Vera’s non-canon reality, the mentally broken, immortal Cheras, already bored and exhausted of her immortality, found solace in the idea of making Vera her reason to live, turning the Bucket into their playfield. However as she gloated she accidentally threw Vera off the Bucket, after which Cheras herself jumped off it to catch her, ending the match in a draw.

In Cheras’s canon reality, Cheras changed the arena to a snowy environment - Vera’s homeland, in order to even the playing field for the sniper. As they battled, they were attacked by one of the rampaging robots, causing Cheras to hallucinate the man that destroyed her world and go berserk destroying it. Using the distraction, Vera exploded the robot’s tank along with Cheras and used the moment to run to a room and set up an explosive trap. Cheras detached a part of herself in order to take away the dynamite stick Vera would use to set up the trap and pushed the sniper out of a window - unwilling to give up Vera stood but then the dynamite exploded and with it the house full of explosives behind her, knocking her out. Awakening in the Bucket after it, both girls made peace, although Cheras could not respond where she had left Vera’s gun.

Admiral Pizza (lost, entry) vs Luigi and Stuffed Crust Crusaders (won, entry). Match page: C3 R3 - Admiral Pizza vs Luigi and Stuffed Crust Crusaders

In the Admiral’s reality, the Admiral faced the team in a Pizza eating contest out of anger of being left out from the Pizza team - both Luigi and the Admiral had participated in the American wars and considered each other enemies. The Crusaders began falling one after the other - Davok threw himself off the Bucket over believing himself a monster after eating too much pizza, Harry due to being caught cheating using a raccoon to eat the pizza for him, Morgan due to the pizza oil deactivating her nanomachines which she was also using to cheat, Celia not being able to handle so much sausage, and Vera dying in the timeskip with a robot skeleton she had left to eat for her running out of batteries. The Admiral messed with Luigi by eating pizza two-handed or cooling wine with ice, offending his Italian sensibilities. In the end, aeons passed as Luigi and the Admiral ate all the pizza in the world -there was no more food-, Soren became a survivor in a post apocalyptic world and went through seven timeskips, and ultimately realizing their war had ruined the world, both pizza men decided to make peace and forgive each other for their participation in the Civil War. As an angered Berbie demanded to see blood, Centurion then killed him with a punch, while Luigi and the Admiral shook hands and decided to just play videogames next.

In Luigi’s canon reality, the Bucket had been filled with sand and Luigi activated the headquarters battlemode, launching two tanks with his team to hunt down the Admiral who went at them on his own (he represented the American pizza flag while they were the Soviet pizzacutter flag). The Crusaders spent a night camping preparing for battle, Harry looking at his furry girlfriend, Morgan at her fangirl, Davok drinking gasoline and Celia running out of booze. Later Berbie waited, and noticed the fight had begun, the tanks shooting at the Admiral who dodged the bullets. Morgan put her nanites on the next shot, and when the Admiral dodged it they grabbed him. Using his arm power then, Harry summoned not a sword but a giant pizza cutter against the Admiral, who punched it back at the man destroying the tank where Harry and Vera were in. Vera and Celia then began to shoot at him, with no effect - the distraction allowed Morgan to run and punch him in the stomach, launching him towards Davok who uppercut him and used his power to send him flying at max speed towards another pizza cutter summoned by Harry - with this combination, the Admiral was finally defeated and gave up, and the team saluted their leader Luigi. Meanwhile, a dejected Berbie gave a sigh as he was expecting for them to arrive to a regular pizza making competition.

After Crab 3

After Brat Pack’s victory, Vera was returned to her world. It is not known if she made any specific wishes to the Bratheon, but Kome’s promise to Cassidy would imply she at the very least found some happiness. She is seen in an epilogue being visited by an apologetic Rhea and Monkshood.
