Veronica Rochester

Lady Veronica Rochester was a suspect in the murder investigation of community pillar Mario Fortuna in Civil Blood (Case #32 of Mysteries of the Past).

Profile
Veronica is a 38-year-old business owner. She has long brown hair kept up by a beige hat with a black stripe decorated with black feathers, a black bow and a lavender rose. She wears a lavender high-neck dress with ochre and black designs. She also dons white gloves and holds a cigarette holder in her right hand. It is known that Veronica eats pizza, reads Shakespeare, has food poisoning and smokes.

Events of Criminal Case
Veronica became a suspect after the player and Isaac found her pendant at the marketplace where the victim's body was found. She was shocked to hear of Mario's murder, which only continued the tragedies caused by the gang war. When asked if she knew if anyone wanted Mario dead, she said no and promptly left to protect her business.

Veronica was spoken to again about a bottle of whiskey found belonging to her, with a message from the victim telling her not to sell it. She said she was only storing the bottles, not selling them, and the victim was just overreacting. She knew the prohibition would not last forever, and once it was over she would be ready for it as the people would be begging for a drink. Since she had been distributing whiskey long before it was outlawed, there was no chance she was disposing of her whiskey stock no matter what.

In the end, Veronica was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Kieran Quinlan for Mario's murder.
