Veronica was born in Laguna Niguel, California in 1982 to loving and affluent parents, renowned neurologist Keith Sawyer and his wife, Alma, a professor of geology at a local university. Not surprisingly, Veronica was a precociously bright child who did exceedingly well in school. Most of their family friends assumed that she would go into the sciences like her parents, and for a while, it seemed following in her parents' footsteps was her intent.
In high school, Veronica was the "it" girl — popular, pretty, bright, and perhaps surprisingly, a genuinely nice person. Veronica, despite being the girl everyone wanted to be like and dress like, was kind to most people. She was a firm believer in her father's philosophies on life — and one of those beliefs was that people who were lucky enough to be born with talents or unnatural beauty or charisma should never take them for granted, or look down on those without the same special gifts. "It's not," he told his daughter, the first time she had said something unkind about a classmate, "like you had to work for what you have. So he has to work a little harder. Don't make fun of his efforts." The gentle reprimand molded the little girl into being the young woman he hoped she would be, rather than the spoiled and elitist snob he feared she might become.
Everything seemed to be going her way — socially, personally, academically. She was loved by her fellow students, earning such popularity awards as ASB President and Homecoming Queen without even campaigning. The yearbook gave her the nickname "Female Ferris Bueller, but with Perfect Attendance." By the middle of her senior year, she had already been accepted to her father's alma mater, UC Berkeley, where she hoped to study biochemistry. But that was when all that she had planned for, all that her parents had worked for, came crashing to the ground.
Veronica knew something was wrong immediately when the principal himself came to pull her out of class — she'd never been picked up early a single day in her life. He walked with her to the office, where her uncle was waiting to take her home. Her father had been killed in some freak attack at the hospital. One of his neurology patients had apparently pushed him out the window of his office on the eighth floor.
Her mother was devastated, and turned to drinking and prescription drugs to deal with the pain. Without her father (and for all practical purposes, her mother) Veronica lost interest in science and medicine: Part of the excitement in pursuing a career in the sciences were the medical ethics debates they would have over dinner. Her happy home had turned into a mausoleum, haunted by the memories of the life they once had.
Several long months passed, and at last it was time to escape to college. Without discussing it with her mother, Veronica changed her major from biochemistry to double major in criminal justice and psychology with a minor in Spanish. Berkeley was a welcome change, and she only visited her mother at Thanksgiving and Spring breaks. She took intercession classes when she could, and graduated magna cum laude. The bright girl who could have been a great doctor was on the list of headhunters all over the country — every law enforcement agency with an opening wanted an interview with the once-more "It Girl." FBI? CIA? She apparently was going to have her choice.
Living off of guilt money given to her by her "absentee mother," Veronica spent the summer in Berkeley in no particular hurry to join the real world. After all, the world was her oyster; she could take her time to take the best offer, get the best possible position for the most money — though granted, money was never going to be much of an issue for her. Her father had made sure of that. One day, she received a phone message for yet another interview. Ambiguous, it didn't give the name of the agency, but simply gave a public place to meet and "talk about the opportunity." Veronica was intrigued and curious, and headed off to meet up with stranger at the time and place indicated: a park bench in the park.
There, she was approached by a strange man who only gave his name as "Agent Moore," who handed her a file. Inside was evidence alleging that Veronica's father had been killed by a man with telekinesis. The man's wife, a Mrs. Sheryl Biard, was being treated by Dr. Sawyer for a brain tumor. The Biards had been told that the tumor was inoperable and terminal. In anger, Biard threw Sawyer out the window. The Biards had fled before being caught. Montgomery Biard was still at large, though a death certificate for his wife, Sheryl, was filed a year after Sawyer's death.
For the first time, Veronica became aware of the existence of Evolved humans — and in her mind, they were dangerous. Agent Moore, unbeknownst to her, was also Evolved — he had the power of suggestion, so every word, every aphorism he spoke about the Company rang true in her mind. She was necessary for the safety of good citizens who needed her help. That these people needed to be studied for their own good. That she would be doing what was best for all humanity. That if she didn't join them, more good people like her beloved father could be killed.
She joined — shocking everyone who expected her to be a CIA or FBI agent, but instead taking a job with a company seemingly unworthy of her talents: Primatech Paper. The cover job was that she was a supervisor of plant security; her own story for her friends and family was that she simply couldn't go to Quantico or elsewhere in the nation when her mother needed her nearby.
I will not say that Ms. Sawyer is a tough nut to crack. That would give the entirely wrong impression of the interaction we had during her initial evaluation. She was not truculent, she simply failed to be forthcoming. Rather than present open defiance as, say, Ms. Reid did, Veronica deftly maneuvered out of my questioning, giving little hint of pathology.
This isn't to say there aren't traumas beneath the veneer of stability. The death of her father, the murder of her father more specifically, must have left marks, and even if they have healed, psychic scarring of that kind can present enduring problems. Still, she seems outwardly very functional, with a good record and a normal, socially acceptable affect, even when confronted with psychotherapy.
As of right now I have to withhold judgment; I simply do not know enough. If you wish to give priority to a more comprehensive assessment, I suggest giving her the more psychologically taxing missions and requiring a debrief with me. This will give me more time and more leverage with which to extract more information on her inner state.
—Bella Sheridan
Veronica Sawyer possesses the ability to counteract and reflect back Evolved abilities that are directly targeted against her. This power is constantly active and requires no conscious effort on Veronica's part and as such functions even while she is unconscious.
In effect, she is personally negated against targeted Evolved effects. She cannot be healed, she cannot be teleported, she cannot be targeted with negation unless it is a blanket-field effect (such as Trask). Area effects, such as a fire created by a pyrokinetic or a lash of water created by a hydrokinetic, can still function as intended. For instance, she could step through a portal or be sucked into one of Stephen Canfield's vortexes, but Rachel could not teleport her nor could Peter use his tactile mimicry to copy her power.
When Veronica successfully negates a power, it does not simply wash off of her; it directly rebounds on the originator of the effect. Someone trying to heal Veronica is instead healed themselves; someone trying to teleport Veronica finds themselves teleported as she would have been; a telepath gets a good and likely disorienting look inside their own mind; a telekinetic finds themselves moved instead of her. The power affects them at the same level of intensity and aptitude as the originator, as if they had turned it on themselves.
Veronica's ability reflection can bypass certain Evolved individuals inability to use their powers on themselves, provided that it makes logistical sense with the nature of the power.
"The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

Relationships
Brian Winters
An unlikely partnership became an even more unlikely romance, but love isn't easy in their line of work. The two have kept their relationship secret and broken one another's hearts a few times over, under the auspice of protecting the other. Fate seems to keep throwing them together, either because they're meant to be or because Fate's got a sick sense of humor. Whether they get a happy ending or not is still to be seen.
Gillian
Brian's sister. Vee liked her pretty much immediately, especially because the woman knows what Veronica does and doesn't hold it against her, even when Brian sometimes does.
Lynette
Lynette is a friend from Veronica's childhood. In present day, they mostly pretend they don't know one another, but they did have a time-traveling adventure harkening back to a traumatic experience in their younger days. Lynette is the only person who's allowed to call her Ronnie.
Abby
The healer has Veronica's curiosity, as Vee knows the woman knew Winters before he became Company property so to speak. Abby's healed Veronica and offered to heal her or Brian should they ever need her, while at the same time forbidding her to come near Old Lucy's — a request not respected by Vee. The two don't like each other, but Veronica respects the healer anyway and wants to be sure Abby doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
Liz
Teamed with Liz in Antarctica, Veronica trusts and likes the former cop, current Frontline operative who happens to also be her neighbor — at least when the two of them aren't in hiding or missions. The two have shared information and trust, and seem to have a lot in common.
Cardinal
Funny how the "thief" of the group is the one that Veronica was most drawn to and trusted the most in Argentina. The two have some mutual interests and work well together — or at least manage to get out of dangerous situations together somehow alive.
Magpie
Veronica recruited him for the Company only to see him get mindwiped when it didn't work out — later, he was on her team in Argentina and Antarctica. She's watched him mature and feels something like a big sister to him, though she'll never tell him that. While he may exasperate her sometimes, she is proud of the person he strives to be.
Katherine
Katherine and Veronica hit it off, especially after Kat let Vee know that she was in potential trouble with the NYPD involving the Case situation. Favors turned into drinks, drinks turned into rolling around in a bed without any clothing. The two agents are similar in many ways, but very different in others. Kat died at Adam Monroe's hands, and left Vee the executioner of her living will. Vee was more traumatized by the loss of this friend than she will let anyone know; recently Kat has come back into her life — albeit changed — and the two have a hesitant but still important friendship.
Kayla: The Kid
Not many people come across as more stoic than Veronica, but Kayla usually accomplishes just that. Once in a while her mask drops, and Vee finds herself feeling bad for the lonely-seeming woman whose barricades are even thicker than her own. She also seems to have the bad luck of running into Kayla whenever she's hurt.
Henry: The Jarhead or the FNG
Veronica was paired in February 2010 with Henry, an "FNG" and a bit too earnest and affable for her liking. The two are an odd pairing, as Henry seems to be a good loyal lap dog for the Company and Veronica, these days, is anything but.
Martin
An internal affairs guy turned boss — Veronica doesn't like this man, and he doesn't like her. It doesn't help that Paulson is his partner.
Ryans: Gramps
Veronica respects this "old school" Company agent who, though retired, was partnered with her on a temporary basis. It was the most successful and healthy partnership she's ever had — no blood or tears, no leeching of cell health and no fraternization — it might be a first! He is one of the few she can trust — even if she has to break his.
Ayers
Ayers is another that Veronica trusts, to a degree. She knows he is as unhappy with the Company's choices in the past as she is, and staying only to try to keep those secrets out of the Institute's hands.
Allison: The Cheerleader
A newcomer shrink slash agent who mixes handsprings with her aikido. Veronica doesn't trust anyone who can get into her mind and her memories and so was less than friendly to this woman, despite the fact that they might have quite a bit in common.
Lupinetti
Veronica has no problems with Agent Dante Lupinetti just yet, having only worked with him briefly. She doesn't know much about him, other than that his partner is a brat. He, at least, seems able to keep her in line, though Sawyer would recommend a shorter leash. Lupinetti ended up in the Institute, and Veronica thinks it isn't for the same reasons she is.
Dawson
So far Sawyer has only dealt with Agent Dawson a couple of times and is less than enthused. She finds the agent childish and petulant — and that was before Dawson manifested with a dangerous ability that made her loathe herself. Unsurprisingly, this means that Veronica will just avoid interactions with the other female agent and will leave her to work with others. Dawson also ended up in the Institute.
Lash
The Company's lab and research folks don't usually get along with the field agents, but Lashirah at least seems to be more than a lab rat. She had her shit together at meetings and doesn't talk like a scientist, so she wins points from Veronica.
Not Quite Company
The Hall Monitor
Sent to keep an eye on the Company from "DHS," but Veronica knows it's the Institute, Harper is a thorn in the Company's side. His lame jokes and cocky smile make that thorn sting all the worse. Unfortunately, Veronica has to make nice with him if she's going to get what she wants.
Gone But Not Forgotten
Curt Lu: The Crotchety Old Man
Her partner for a few months. He's rude and snarky and he has taken over her office. Not to mention the fact that he is leeching out her beauty and youth every second she's within 10 feet of him, or that if he gets injured, his injuries will transfer to her. She tries to stay as far as she can away from him unless she has to be near him — however, as he's her partner, that makes it difficult. Sadly, he's been called away on business elsewhere in the world, and she actually misses their banter.
Len: "Boss"
The Senior Field Agent has a way of putting her at ease, and she likes his casual way of handling business. She thinks with time she might be able to call him a friend, more so than Goodman, due to his affable nature. — unfortunately, he retired!
Goodman
Complicated. She'll be sorting this one out for a while yet. She trusted him when she came to work for him in the Company but then helped kill him when she found out he was behind Pinehearst. He came back from the dead to tell her to run to avoid the Institute's attack and her plan to join their ranks — she didn't heed the warning, and worked with him there to undermine the Institute's doings. Now he's dead again and she's alone in her efforts — or so she thinks.
Minea
Vee appreciated this agent for reaching out to her and helping her with the loss of Kat. Minea's being there has earned her Vee's tacit loyalty; unfortunately, she was killed before Veronica was able to repay her in any significant way.
Paulson: Expletive
Her personal nightmare: The man who killed her father turned out to be a Company agent. She never thought she'd have to meet him, as he worked across the country, but the Company, Fate, or God, or all three, have a sick sense of humor and he got transferred to New York. They made amends but then he turned against the Company, and was killed.
The Big Boss
Matt Parkman's got Veronica on "secret assignments," having asked her to be his "eyes and ears." She doesn't know if he really means what he says about his ideals and principles, but she's willing to test him out and let him think she's loyal to him while she does so. Unfortunately, he almost got her killed by having her pretend to be Cardinal, and now the scrutiny on Vee will be all the tougher, making it hard for her to do her real job — taking down the Institute.
The Boss
Harper brought her into the Institute and tested her allegiance the hard way — not letting her know about the raid on the Company. Their working relationship seems smoother in this iteration of the job and she has learned his loyalties are also divided — his to his ailing son. She doesn't know what to think of him anymore, so she mostly doesn't.
Odessa
Her secret assignment from the Company has followed her (or Vee followed Odessa) into the Institute. Veronica's not happy to see her there and doesn't know if she can trust her. It's a shame because they actually work pretty well together. If only they had the same goals… (or do they?)
Cardinal
Thrown together in the wilds of Argentina to find Munin, Veronica finds she trusts this shadowy man despite his shady ability. He knew Minea, and that helps give him some credence in her mind.
Magnes
She used her feminine wiles to lure him into the Company, always feeling a pang of guilt when he got hurt. She was relieved when they put him back into his former life, minus his memories of his time with them. Now she finds herself working with him one more time in Argentina.
Peter Petrelli
Another person on Team Alpha, she doesn't know much about this man except that Gillian's in love with him, he's been "compromised" in a "Complicated" way according to Cardinal, and that she doesn't trust him, even if he trusted her enough to let her in on some of the information he carries with him.
Jensen Raith
She knows less about Raith then Peter, but he carries himself with confidence and seems to know his shit, so she's willing to look to him for his judgment. She'll keep Cardinal's advice in mind, however, not to trust him completely.
Ross
Shifty bald man in charge of Team Alpha.
Gillian
Veronica has mixed feelings about finding Gillian here. She's angry she got blackmailed, happy to have a friend, and worried for Gill's safety. She's made a vow to herself to get Gill out alive at all costs.

These next two are not really thematically linked to Veronica, but I find it amusing that they have Veronica Sawyer in the title (the first is an allusion to the movie "Heathers"; the other may or may not be):
