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[1]. She maintains connections with many of her former clients and patrons[2], including Hamilton Smith-Rawnsley[3].
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[4].
At some point prior to August 2065[5], 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[6].
Veronica eventually came to view Isabelle Monday as her protege[7].
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[8]. Miss Fortuna realized that the pod probably contains a Helper[9], and she explained the plight of Helpers to Isabelle[10].
After Pandora's Box
On the car ride back from rescuing Pandora, Miss Fortuna assured Isabelle that it isn't Isabelle's fault that Pandora imprinted on Isabelle[11], and suggested it could be fate[12]. Miss Fortuna introduced herself to Pandora[13]. After finding out that Pandora can't name herself, Miss Fortuna recommended that Isabelle name Pandora[14], and offered more reassurance to Isabelle[15][16].
The next day, Miss Fortuna hired Pandora as a cocktail waitress at O, Fortuna[17], instructing Lyra Lujic to train Pandora[18]. Miss Fortuna proposed telling anyone they don't trust that Pandora is a stray Helper[19]. Veronica explained to the other resistance members that they would be receiving an important package from a courier[20], before welcoming her cell's leaders, Hemmel and Natalya Ustrashkina[21]. Miss Fortuna announced Isabelle's dance performance[22] and praised Isabelle's talent[23]. When Con alerted Miss Fortuna to the presence of a cop[24], Miss Fortuna sent Isabelle to deal with him[25].
Miss Fortuna explained Isabelle's role in the resistance to Pandora[26], and instructs Pandora to keep an eye out for the courier[27]. When a non-resistance customer accidentally signals that he is the courier[28], Miss Fortuna offers him free drinks for the next five visits[29]. Upon seeing the cop return, Miss Fortuna attempted to distract him further[30] before the cop revealed to an exacerbated Miss Fortuna that he is the courier[31]. Miss Fortuna assured a depressed Isabelle that she will ensure Isabelle gets paid[32]. Veronica appears shocked when she sees Isabelle hit the courior[33], and she witnesses Hemmel welcome Pandora to the resistance[34].
Three weeks later, Miss Fortuna pays Pandora her first paycheck in cash, since Pandora doesn't have much of a legal existance[35].
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[36]. Miss Fortuna helped explain to the assembled Pioneer City Resistance members that her connections with former patrons give the Resistance an opportunity to steal important information from Eric Michael Fishguard[37]. 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[38]. When Doctor Shah expressed discomfort at returning to a party of rich people, Miss Fortuna reassured her[39]. At the party, Miss Fortuna lied to Hamilton, telling him Pandora was a stray[40]. Doctor Shah and Miss Fortuna stood to the side of the party and talked about their experience and how awful every other guest is[41]. Miss Fortuna listened while Doctor Shah explained to a tearful Isabelle that Helpers have planned obsolescence[42].
Moments later, Miss Fortuna encouraged Isabelle to treasure the time she has with Pandora[43] 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[44]. Miss Fortuna explained why she had to break up with Doctor Shah long ago, and says she has missed Noor's company[45]. Veronica was then shocked to see Pandora return to the main room of the party with four other Helpers in tow[46]. Seeing Hamilton start to get angry at his Helpers, Veronica invented a lie to calm him, much to Doctor Shah's shock[47]. 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[48]. As the party ends, Miss Fortuna congratulated her colleagues on a job well done, and learned that Pandora got help from Adrastea[49]. Miss Fortuna then witnessed Isabelle cry on the car ride home[50].
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[51]. Miss Fortuna gives Pandora a job [52] under-the-table[53] While Con is hesitant to explain what is going on to Pandora, Miss Fortuna clearly explains Isabelle's role in the Resistance[54].
Isabelle Monday
Isabelle has worked for Miss Fortuna since Isabelle was 19[55], and Miss Fortuna thinks of Isabelle as her protege[56]. Miss Fortuna explains what Helpers are to Isabelle[57], and she reassures Isabelle when Isabelle is overwhelmed by finding Pandora[58].
Con Yung
Miss Fortuna employs Con at O, Fortuna[59] and the two of them work alongside each other in the resistance[60].
Noor Shah
Miss Fortuna has a long history with Doctor Shah[61]. 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[62]. Noor wishes she and Veronica could meet up more often, but Doctor Shah doesn't normally want to visit Miss Fortuna's club[63].
Zero Angiers
Miss Fortuna employs Zero at O, Fortuna[64] and they two of them work alongside each other in the resistance[65]. However, Veronica seems quite exacterbated at Zero's behavior upon finding Pandora[66][67][68].
