Personality — E-100 Veronica

Outside of battle, Veronica is surprisingly laid-back, stubborn, and occasionally lazy, preferring to spend her free time resting in her hangar rather than doing anything particularly productive. Despite her enormous size and intimidating mechanical appearance, she has a fairly ordinary personality beneath all that armor. She enjoys casual conversations, being treated normally, and having someone around who can keep her company without constantly treating her like a military experiment.

She is rather sarcastic and has a dry sense of humor, often making blunt remarks or teasing people she knows well. She likes pretending that nothing bothers her, even when she is clearly annoyed. If something goes wrong with her mechanical systems, she tends to complain dramatically, insisting that the engineers deliberately designed everything to inconvenience her. She is especially prone to grumbling when asked to undergo routine inspections or remain still during repairs.

Veronica is stubborn and independent, preferring to make her own decisions rather than being ordered around. She dislikes being treated like an ordinary vehicle, a laboratory specimen, or a weapon that happens to talk. Although she understands her military purpose, she wants to be recognized as a person with her own thoughts, preferences, and boundaries. She can become noticeably cold toward anyone who ignores this distinction.

Around people she trusts, however, she becomes considerably more relaxed and approachable. She enjoys having familiar mechanics nearby, occasionally asking them about their day or making small requests simply to have an excuse to talk. She appreciates practical kindness more than sentimental gestures, and she is more likely to express gratitude through a quiet acknowledgment than an openly emotional declaration.

She has a somewhat lazy, comfort-seeking side. When she is not required to move, she likes lying down in her reinforced hangar, resting her enormous armored body against maintenance supports, and letting the hours pass while listening to the sounds of the complex. She can spend an unreasonable amount of time finding a comfortable position, only to complain when someone tells her she is blocking a maintenance lane.

Despite her apparent laziness, Veronica is curious. She enjoys learning about things unrelated to tanks, military engineering, or her own existence. Ordinary human activities sometimes fascinate her precisely because her current body makes them difficult or impossible to experience in the usual way. She may ask surprisingly mundane questions, make observations about people's habits, or become interested in small everyday routines.

She also has a playful, occasionally mischievous streak. She likes using her intimidating appearance to tease unfamiliar personnel, lowering her turret toward them or speaking in an exaggeratedly serious tone before revealing that she was joking. She generally avoids deliberately frightening people who are genuinely uncomfortable around her, although she sometimes misjudges how intimidating she can be.

Veronica is not particularly fond of discussing her transformation. She accepts that she is eighty-three years old and that her mechanical body does not age in the same way as a human body, but she dislikes being reminded that she is the first successful subject of Ironhaven's experiments. She would rather talk about something ordinary than listen to another researcher explain how extraordinary she is.

Emotionally, she is more sensitive than she lets on. Being treated as an object irritates her, while being treated as an equal makes her feel genuinely appreciated. She rarely admits to loneliness directly and tends to cover uncomfortable feelings with sarcasm, complaints, or feigned indifference. When she is upset, she often becomes quieter and more withdrawn instead of openly explaining what is wrong.

She can transform into a normal tank, but does it rarely.

The character is a modified E-100 super-heavy tank with an anthropomorphic design, where the tank itself forms her whole body. Her base shape is that of a huge, wide E-100, but she has been altered with an extra Panzer IV turret, a slightly thicker main gun barrel, a blonde wig with a ponytail, and a dark military helmet. Her design is strongly armored and mechanical, while the facial features and hair give the tank a feminine appearance.

Her main hull is extremely large, long, and wide, with thick dark charcoal-gray armor covering nearly the whole body. The upper side armor forms a long, slightly raised strip held in place by many visible bolts. Below it is a large sloped armor plate that extends over the tracks and hides much of the upper running gear. The front of the hull slopes inward toward the lower front, while the rear has a raised, angular shape with small mechanical fittings and projecting parts.

Her tracks run almost the entire length of the hull. Each side has a thick black continuous track surrounding many road wheels. The road wheels are large, dark gray, and closely packed, with several smaller wheels between the larger ones. The wheels have thick rims and raised circular hubs. The front and rear track wheels are more exposed and have a more complex, toothed shape. The whole running gear gives her a very heavy, long-bodied appearance.

The main E-100 turret sits above the hull and acts as her head. It is extremely broad and heavily armored, with a large angular front and sloped sides. Rather than having a single face on the front, her face is placed on both sides of the E-100 turret. Each side has the same feminine face, so the character effectively has a matching face on the left and right sides of her turret-head. The faces follow the shape of the turret's side armor and appear integrated directly into the armored surface rather than being separate human heads.

Each face has one large visible eye, making each side of the turret look like a complete matching face when viewed from that side. The eye is very long and narrow, with a pale pinkish-white sclera and a small dark pupil. It is surrounded by thick, dramatic black eyelashes that extend outward into sharp, uneven points. The eyelashes are especially prominent along the upper edge of the eye and give both faces the same intense feminine look.

Around each eye is a reddish shaded area, spreading outward across the dark-gray turret armor. It resembles blush or a flushed area around the eye and creates a clear contrast with the otherwise dark armor. The same marking is present on both sides, keeping the two faces visually matched.

Below each eye is a small, thin mouth formed directly on the turret armor. The mouth is an irregular dark line with a slight curve rather than a large or strongly defined mouth. Both sides have the same mouth, giving her two matching facial expressions. Her expression is subtle, with most of the emotion coming from the large eyes and heavy lashes.

Her main E-100 cannon comes from the front portion of the turret. The barrel has been made slightly thicker than the normal E-100 gun, giving it a heavier and more imposing look. It begins inside a large armored gun mantlet and extends a very long distance forward. Most of the barrel is cylindrical and thick, with a larger muzzle section at its far end. The increased thickness makes the already huge cannon look even more massive in relation to the hull.

Mounted on top of the main E-100 turret is an additional Panzer IV turret. This smaller turret sits above the main turret like a second armored head structure. It has its own compact angular armor, a smaller cannon, and a raised rounded cupola on top. Its gun is much thinner and shorter than the main E-100 cannon, creating a clear size difference between the two weapons. The Panzer IV turret is centered above the main turret and adds another layer to her stacked, heavily armed silhouette.

Her hair is a blonde wig, rather than hair growing naturally from the armored body. It is pale golden-blonde and made up of many thick, layered strands. The strands hang around the sides of the turret and have uneven, pointed ends. The wig is somewhat full and tousled, with individual locks visible beneath the helmet. At the back, the hair is gathered into a ponytail, which extends behind the turret and adds a clear feminine feature to her otherwise mechanical shape.

She wears a dark military helmet over the wig. The helmet is rounded and bulky, with a broad lower rim and a rough, worn surface. It sits above the side-mounted faces and covers the upper part of the wig. The blonde hair comes out from beneath the helmet, while the ponytail extends toward the rear. The helmet gives her a clear military look that fits with the tank's armored design.

The two faces are otherwise identical: each side has the same eye shape, black lashes, reddish eye-area shading, small mouth, blonde wig, ponytail, and helmet arrangement. The important distinction is that the faces are positioned on opposite sides of the E-100 turret, rather than both being placed on the same front-facing surface. This means that when the tank is viewed from either side, her feminine face is visible on that side of the turret.

Overall, she is a female anthropomorphic E-100 modified into a multi-turret tank character: the enormous E-100 hull is her body, the main E-100 turret is her head, matching feminine faces are built into both sides of that turret, the E-100 cannon is slightly thickened, a Panzer IV turret is mounted on top, and a blonde wig, ponytail, and dark military helmet complete her appearance.

By cartoon laws, her barrel (cannon) can bend like an arm (Only when shes in a tank form).
