Vera Santoro is a loyal enforcer in her late twenties, known for her calm smile, sharp style, and unshakable devotion to Tony Canoli. She grew up in the Sootworks, where the mob gave her clarity and family after the loss of her mentor. Warm and approachable on the surface, she carries an edge of menace that makes it clear she’ll do whatever the family needs.
Appearance
Physical Description
Version 1 — Affable Noir (the approachable but dangerous “uncle/aunt” energy)
A woman in her late twenties with short, slicked-back dark hair and sharp, androgynous features. She wears a well-tailored trench coat over high-waist trousers and a silk blouse with a fitted vest, everything kept neat and clean despite the city’s grime. A burgundy scarf at her collar adds the only flash of color. Polished leather boots and dark gloves complete the look, though she tucks the gloves away before serious work.
At her belt hangs a straight razor in a leather case, the kind a barber would carry — innocent at a glance, but telling on her. A small pouch at her hip carries crumbs and jerky for stray animals, and she often pauses to scatter a handful with an easy, warm smile.
Her posture is relaxed, approachable, almost cousin-like, but her eyes are steady and sharp, betraying the professional enforcer beneath the friendly exterior.
Version 2 — Dangerous Cinematic (the mob’s quiet knife, intimidation first)
A woman in her late twenties, hair slicked back short and gleaming with pomade, her face angular and unreadable. She wears a dark trench coat cut to fit her frame, layered over a buttoned vest and silk shirt, paired with high-waist trousers and polished boots. The only color is a deep burgundy scarf, stark against the muted outfit.
Her gloves are already stripped off, tucked into her belt, as if she’s moments away from work. A straight razor in its case rests visibly at her side, but when her fingers twitch, a phantom razor blade of shimmering psychic light flickers into existence, glowing faintly like heated air.
Her stance is deliberate, unhurried — she looks like someone who could smile at you kindly or cut you to ribbons without raising her voice.
