Verity Carlo
Verity is a human in the Generation 1 continuity.
Make no mistake; Verity Carlo is nimble, resourceful, self-reliant and cunning. Problem is, she likes to think she’s tougher, smarter and has more guts than anybody. It’s a good part of what allows her to maintain her rootless existence hitch-hiking across the United States, living on theft and what little kindness she receives from strangers (although two mace sprays nestled in her backpack attest to how little she’s willing to trust said strangers).
Something happened to Verity when she was a child, though, something that hurt her so badly that she refuses to form a serious bond with anyone or show any sign of fear. It’s been with her so long that she abandoned several foster homes and (presumably) welcoming families when she was still barely in her teens. Because of that hurt Verity sees most people as marks, dupes or threats. Fear of getting hurt again keeps her moving when she maybe ought to settle down, makes her abrasive and superior.
It also made her risk her life by exploring an abandoned Decepticon command bunker and not only kept her from bolting immediately but also made her raise her recorder and keep filming when she stumbled upon no less than Megatron.
Whether it’ll get her killed one day is anyone’s guess…
