Veronica Fortuna
Veronica Fortuna, commonly referred to as Miss Fortuna, is the owner of O, Fortuna and a member of the Pioneer City Resistance.
Biography
Before Pandora's Box
Miss Fortuna was born on July 2, 2022. At some point, she worked as a courtesan in Atom City, where many of her colleagues were stray Helpers[4]. She maintains connections with many of her former clients and patrons[5], including Hamilton Smith-Rawnsley[6].
She first met Noor Shah as a client, but Miss Fortuna saw Doctor Shah as more than a client. Miss Fortuna ended their relationship so that she could sort out which of her feelings about Doctor Shah were genuine and which were fake[7].
At some point before August 2065[8], Miss Fortuna became the owner of a burlesque night club in Pioneer City called O, Fortuna. She also joined the Pioneer City Resistance, and uses her club to conduct resistance business[9].
Veronica eventually came to view Isabelle Monday as her protege[10].
In 2068, Miss Fortuna took a trip into the desert along with fellow resistance members Isabelle Monday, Con Yung, and Zero Angiers to steal the content of a crashed delivery drone[11]. Miss Fortuna realized that the pod probably contains a Helper[12], and she explained the plight of Helpers to Isabelle[13].

On the car ride back from rescuing Pandora, Miss Fortuna assured Isabelle that it isn't Isabelle's fault that Pandora imprinted on Isabelle[14], and suggested it could be fate[15]. Miss Fortuna introduced herself to Pandora[16]. After finding out that Pandora can't name herself, Miss Fortuna recommended that Isabelle name Pandora[17], and offered more reassurance to Isabelle[18][19].
The next day, Miss Fortuna hired Pandora as a cocktail waitress at O, Fortuna[20], instructing Lyra Lujic to train Pandora[21]. Miss Fortuna proposed telling anyone they don't trust that Pandora is a stray Helper[22]. Veronica explained to the other resistance members that they would be receiving an important package from a courier[23], before welcoming her cell's leaders, Hemmel and Natalya Ustrashkina[24]. Miss Fortuna announced Isabelle's dance performance[25] and praised Isabelle's talent[26]. When Con alerted Miss Fortuna to the presence of a cop[27], Miss Fortuna sent Isabelle to deal with him[28].
Miss Fortuna explained Isabelle's role in the resistance to Pandora[29], and instructs Pandora to keep an eye out for the courier[30]. When a non-resistance customer accidentally signals that he is the courier[31], Miss Fortuna offers him free drinks for the next five visits[32]. Upon seeing the cop return, Miss Fortuna attempted to distract him further[33] before the cop revealed to an exacerbated Miss Fortuna that he is the courier[34]. Miss Fortuna assured a depressed Isabelle that she will ensure Isabelle gets paid[35]. Veronica appears shocked when she sees Isabelle hit the courior[36], and she witnesses Hemmel welcome Pandora to the resistance[37].
Three weeks later, Miss Fortuna pays Pandora her first paycheck in cash, since Pandora doesn't have much of a legal existence[38].
Three months after finding helping to rescue Pandora, Miss Fortuna welcomed Doctor Shah to O, Fortuna, which Veronica reminded both Doctor Shah and Isabelle is a burlesque club[39]. Miss Fortuna helped explain to the assembled Pioneer City Resistance members that her connections with former patrons allow the Resistance to steal important information from Eric Michael Fishguard[40]. Veronica explained that she and Doctor Shah will attend a party hosted by Hamilton Smith-Rawnsley as guests, and they will sneak Pandora, Isabelle, and Con in disguised as workers[41]. When Doctor Shah expressed discomfort at returning to a party of rich people, Miss Fortuna reassured her[42]. At the party, Miss Fortuna lied to Hamilton, telling him Pandora was a stray[43]. Doctor Shah and Miss Fortuna stood to the side of the party and talked about their experience and how awful every other guest is[44]. Miss Fortuna listened while Doctor Shah explained to a tearful Isabelle that Helpers have planned obsolescence[45].
Moments later, Miss Fortuna encouraged Isabelle to treasure the time she has with Pandora[46] Once Isabelle walked away, Miss Fortuna asked Noor if a cure for Helpers' kill switch is likely, and Noor inadvertently brought up an unpleasant memory of their breakup[47]. Miss Fortuna explained why she had to break up with Doctor Shah long ago, and says she has missed Noor's company[48]. Veronica was then shocked to see Pandora return to the main room of the party with four other Helpers in tow[49]. Seeing Hamilton start to get angry at his Helpers, Veronica invented a lie to calm him, much to Doctor Shah's shock[50]. Noor wondered if she really helped at all, since the young Helpers are still destined for short lives, but Miss Fortuna encouraged her to truly become a "doctor of Helpers" and find a cure[51]. As the party ended, Miss Fortuna congratulated her colleagues on a job well done, and learned that Pandora got help from Adrastea[52]. Miss Fortuna then witnessed Isabelle cry on the car ride home[53].
Relations
Pandora
Miss Fortuna acts as a mentor for Pandora. Veronica is the second member of the Resistance to introduce herself to Pandora, after Isabelle[54].

Isabelle Monday
Isabelle has worked for Miss Fortuna since Isabelle was 19[58], and Miss Fortuna thinks of Isabelle as her protege[59]. Miss Fortuna explains what Helpers are to Isabelle[60], and she reassures Isabelle when Isabelle is overwhelmed by finding Pandora[61].

Noor Shah
Miss Fortuna has a long history with Doctor Shah[64]. Their relationship began with Doctor Shah as a client, but Veronica always saw Noor as more than a client, and she ended the romantic aspect of their relationship to avoid hurting Doctor Shah by accident[65]. Noor wishes she and Veronica could meet up more often, but Doctor Shah doesn't normally want to visit Miss Fortuna's club[66].
Zero Angiers
Miss Fortuna employs Zero at O, Fortuna[67] and they two of them work alongside each other in the resistance[68]. However, Veronica seems quite exacterbated at Zero's behavior upon finding Pandora[69][70][71].
Trivia
