Veronica Fortuna: Difference between revisions

'''Veronica Fortuna''', commonly referred to as '''Miss Fortuna''', is the owner of [[O, Fortuna]] and a member of the [[Pioneer City]] [[The Resistance|Resistance]].

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]] [[Helper|Helpers]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/14/chapter-3-page-8/</ref>. She maintains connections with many of her former clients and patrons<ref>https://pandorastale.com/characters/</ref>, including [[Hamilton Smith-Rawnsley]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/05/17/chapter-6-page-5/</ref>.

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<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-15/</ref>. Miss Fortuna realized that the pod probably contains a Helper<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-16/</ref>, and she explained the plight of Helpers to Isabelle<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-17/</ref>.

On the car ride back from rescuing Pandora, Miss Fortuna assured Isabelle that it isn't Isabelle's fault that Pandora imprinted on Isabelle<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-1/</ref>, and suggested it could be fate<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-3/</ref>. Miss Fortuna introduced herself to Pandora<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-2/</ref>. After finding out that Pandora can't name herself, Miss Fortuna recommended that Isabelle name Pandora<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-6/</ref>, and offered more reassurance to Isabelle<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-7/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-8/</ref>.

Moments later, Miss Fortuna encouraged Isabelle to treasure the time she has with Pandora<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/22/chapter-7-page-3/</ref> 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<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/23/chapter-7-page-4/</ref>. Miss Fortuna explained why she had to break up with Doctor Shah long ago, and says she has missed Noor's company<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/24/chapter-7-page-5/</ref>. Veronica was then shocked to see Pandora return to the main room of the party with [[Adrastea|four]] [[Cassiopeia|other]] [[Leo|Helpers]] [[Andromeda|in]] tow<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/31/chapter-7-page-12/</ref>. Seeing Hamilton start to get angry at his Helpers, Veronica invented a lie to calm him, much to Doctor Shah's shock<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/01/chapter-7-page-13/</ref>. 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<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/07/chapter-7-page-19/</ref>. As the party ends, Miss Fortuna congratulated her colleagues on a job well done, and learned that Pandora got help from Adrastea<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/08/chapter-7-page-20/</ref>. Miss Fortuna then witnessed Isabelle cry on the car ride home<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/09/chapter-7-page-21/</ref>.

Miss Fortuna acts as a mentor for Pandora. Veronica is the second member of the Resistance to introduce herself to Pandora, after Isabelle<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-2/</ref>. Miss Fortuna gives Pandora a job <ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/12/chapter-3-page-6/</ref> under-the-table<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/07/16/chapter-5-page-1/</ref> While hesitant to explain what is going on to Pandora, Miss Fortuna clearly explains Isabelle's role in the Resistance<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/02/27/chapter-4-page-1/</ref>.

Miss Fortuna employs Zero at O, Fortuna<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/14/chapter-3-page-8/</ref> and they two of them work alongside each other in the resistance<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-15/</ref>. However, Veronica seems quite exacterbated at Zero's behavior upon finding Pandora<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-15/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-17/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-19/</ref>.

Isabelle has worked for Miss Fortuna since Isabelle was 19<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/05/16/chapter-6-page-4/</ref>, and Miss Fortuna thinks of Isabelle as her protege<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/02/28/chapter-4-page-2/</ref>. Miss Fortuna explains what Helpers are to Isabelle<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-17/</ref>, and she reassures Isabelle when Isabelle is overwhelmed by finding Pandora<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-1/</ref>.

Miss Fortuna employs Con at O, Fortuna<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/14/chapter-3-page-8/</ref> and they two of them work alongside each other in the resistance<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-15/</ref>.

Miss Fortuna has a long history with Doctor Shah<ref>https://pandorastale.com/characters/</ref>. 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<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/24/chapter-7-page-5/</ref>. Noor wishes she and Veronica could meet up more often, but Doctor Shah doesn't normally want to visit Miss Fortuna's club<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/05/15/chapter-6-page-3/</ref>.
