Veronika Kontenko

Veronika Kontenko is the current Queen of the Kontenko Royal Family. She is the aunt of Asya Kontenko, and sister to Mitya and Mykhaila Cross.

Rise to Power
Veronika's rise to power was very traditional. Her father, Terentiy Kontenko, died while using his precious dice on an unstable icy surface. The totem was able to be retrieved, but he froze to death.

Veronika was 34 when she became Queen, and takes the job very seriously. She had a special bond with her niece, Roza, before she disappeared. To this day, it seems as though she blames Aysa for that.

Appearance
Veronika is 5'6" and 132 pounds. Her hair is long, straight and blonde. Her eyes, like everybody in the Kontenko family, are a bright orange.

Personality
Veronika is level-headed and honest, she is an overall fair ruler. The only part of her reign that is criticized is her violent nature. This is shown in her rash decision to send hunters after her niece, Asya, when she fled with the dice. She told the hunters that they had the right to kill her if necessary.

Trivia

 * She is the first ruler since Nikolai Kontenko to ever not have the family dice while in power.
