Relationships
Your Character
Although you first see her in Chapter 2 at the Alphas Welcome Bash party, you don't talk to her until Chapter 5. If you are wearing the premium outfit, she is impressed by it but declines to take a selfie with you in lieu of Poppy's expected wrath. If you aren't wearing the premium outfit, she will insult you and ask you why you're there.
In Chapter 8, you have the opportunity to flirt with her and recruit her into your posse. If you do, you find her practical and calm compared to Poppy and Chloe. Because she is a harder nut to crack, you decide to film her venting out her frustrations towards the make-up line Read My Lips and a cardboard cut-out of Poppy. After filming her, you use the video to blackmail her. If she doesn't join your crew, you'll post the video and she'll lose her brand sponsorship. She agrees to your terms and you're surprised she doesn't even try to fake loyalty to Poppy. She tells you that she's curious about how things will play out for you. If you try to advocate for the little guy, she says she knows that you're naive.
Poppy Min-Sinclair
If you decide to listen to Professor Kingsley's research about Poppy, he/she will reveal that Veronica has half a million more followers than Poppy,. To keep her Queen B title, Poppy became friends with Veronica in order to gain more exposure on Veronica's social media accounts as well as boost her reputation when Veronica walks beside her around campus.
In Chapter 8, if you previously got dirt from Poppy's phone, after you anonymously reveal what Poppy has done. Veronica thinks she is two-faced and makes a livestream regard her. If you hadn't gotten the dirt, Veronica cooly shuts down your proposition to join your team. She tells you that she knows exactly what kind of person Poppy is and she doesn't have to like the latter to live under her safety net. If you decide to recruit her, she will confess she doesn't need to rely on Poppy as she has more followers than her, and Poppy is never fun on a livestream. While Veronica has to make videos to promote Read My Lips, Poppy's parents paid or used their influence to get Poppy to be the face of their new line. Poppy gets a residual when her face is used in-store to promote the cosmetics line but she doesn't have to subject herself to the break-outs that Veronica goes through.
Tasha Euphraim
In Chapter 11, at Poppy's private "Suck and Blow" game, if you don't kiss Veronica, she will kiss Tasha.

Trivia
- She is shown on the cover of Queen B, Book 1 and Queen B, Book 2.
- While it is initially shown that Carter ranks 3rd and Veronica ranks 4th in Chapter 2, their ranks in their title cards show that their ranks are reversed. That could either be an inconsistency or a demonstration of the highly fluctuating popularity of students based on their current behavior. When your character hits the top 15 (as early as Chapter 4) and the rankings are shown again, Veronica ranks as 3rd. At the beginning of Book 2, she ranks in 2nd place by default (with your character's default rank as 12th place).
- She has one hundred thousand followers, called Veronicats.
- In Chapter 8, you mention that she reps a makeup line called Read My Lips. Veronica says she never wears it unless she has to for a video, as it's overpriced and makes her break out.
- During the end of the year gala, she mentions she also has a livestream called 90 Day Fiance.
- She bears some resemblances to a version of the MC from Bloodbound.
- She is revealed to be LGBT in Chapter 11, given that you can hook up with her in a premium scene.
- She shares the same name as Veronica Roberts from Ms. Match.
