Veronica is a twenty-four-year-old history graduate living in Meme City. After her grandmother died and her mother disappeared, she inherited a ruined antique store and a mountain of debt. She operates an online appraisal service from her home while struggling with insomnia and a lack of drive. A goth with a penchant for dark humor and reality TV, she spends her days analyzing the past to avoid a present that feels like it is rotting away.
