Vera Reimonenq

Vera, a character from the Nightbound book, is a co-worker of Kristin's and one of your love interests. She is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Vera has dark brown skin, brown eyes and brown curly hair. She wears a white flowery lace top with a necklace with a black skirt and black opera gloves. Katherine says Vera has her mother's eyes.

Personality
She likes everything clear-cut, black and white, and worries that she could lose herself in all the shades of gray of New Orleans.

She finds it hard to admit that sometimes she doesn't hate her mom, that instead she thinks her mom is incredible and she wishes she could be just like her: strong, determined, and unafraid.

Your Character
Vera is one of your love interests. You can choose in a premium scene to learn more about her past and kiss her. In Chapter 6, she texts you once Kristin wakes up and gives her your cell phone number. She saves you from a zombie, and in Chapter 7, she tells you the truth about her "curse" as she calls it.

Tonya Reimonenq
Tonya is her mother, who has been grooming Vera to follow in her footsteps before Vera left. The "curse" binds them psychically, as when one uses it, the other can feel it. The closer they are in distance, the stronger the feeling is.

Powers and Abilities

 * The Reimonenq Touch: By touching someone with her bare hands, the basic outcome is death. She has not learned to control it as her mother has. While she can use it against zombies with no problems, touching a bloodwraith does not destroy it. Instead, it appears to create a feedback loop, burning Vera's hands.
 * Telesomatic Connection: Vera says the "curse" binds them psychically, as when one uses it, the other can feel it. The closer they are in distance, the stronger the feeling is.
