Illusions/Decoy Creation
Though her primary power might be Decoy Creation it is an Illusion based power which means she can create, shape and manipulate illusions, causing targets to see, hear, touch, smell and/or taste things which do not actually exist or cause them to perceive things differently from what they truly are. Outside of Decoy Creation she can only really effect what a person sees and even then she can only project the Illusions at to or three. The most difficult thing she can do is make herself appear totally different, which is great in a battle because suddenly she appears like the wall behind her but she cant hide anyone else like this. Do to her personal morals and ethics, unless fighting for her life or the lives of others she doesn't use her power. On occasion, when asked, she will use it on her friends for them to see or feel what her power is like or when playing a joke on them she might create duplicates of herself or others but she doesn't use her power to harm others out side of a sight and even then it feels wrong and in such she only uses it to temporarily disable them.

SKILLS
[Fighting]
For such a delicate looking girl she pack a mean punch, she was very young when her father first started training her in martial arts and self defense. After awhile she started to enjoy it so much she would enter herself into underground street fights. She earned a reputation there for being unbeatable and it has been very helpful when dealing those who like to use their powers for bad.
[Cooking]
When her mother died her mother started to only order food in sense he couldn't cook. This sparked an interest in food in the young girl and she would go to the different restaurants her father would order from most and ask for easy recipes that she could try and replicate. Only one restaurant took pity on the girl. Ramon's, the head chief was Ramon himself and he taught the girl how to make superb food with less then superb ingredients.
[Dancing]
Whoever claimed that dancing doesn't go with fighting is a liar, because of the ballet and hip hop classes she took for fun while in High School she now is extremely agile and graceful which makes her 'slippery' in a fight and hard to hit. She is also a great dancer and has been a back ground dancer for a few bands in their music videos.
[Photography]
Both a hobby and a skill this is how she makes her living. Some of Verona's pictures have hung in galleries being bought for sums that are far to high to be reasonable and others have been published in well respected magazines. Though her name is unknown, preferring to publish her pictures under the names Jamie Adella, she is often bombarded by emails from the rich wanting her to be their wedding photographer and others from newspapers and magazines just wanting to get their hands on an interview with the reclusive photographer.

⋇Energetic ⋇Compassionate ⋇Observant ⋇Cold ⋇Vicious ⋇Intelligent
Verona, she is just as beautiful as the city she is named after and her personality just makes her more so. Almost always happy and energetic its almost gift that she can draw even the most reluctant person to her and get them to smile and laugh at her antics which are, more often then not, vastly amusing. Match it with her compassionate behavior and the fact that she can not only see the best in everyone around her, including the thug who lives down the street, but will argue that for the cards that had been handed to them they are doing their best. She is insanely loyal to those who have proven their worth and kind to even those who haven't. Verona has yet to meet a person she yet to like in some way. She is also very observant and is quick to recognize normal behavior and what isn't meaning she will be the first to notice if something is wrong and there is no use lying to her.
For all her good qualities she does have some bad, like that fact that she is so intelligent and so rational that sometimes its had for her to truly empathize with someone especially if their reasoning is flawed, then there is that fact that if her trust is broken in someone they will live the rest of their lives being frozen out. She wont speak to them unless necessary and will often ask others to pass on messages. Then there's the fact that she is vicious, there isn't another word for it. If not for her friends to keep her reined in, when angry she would happily see those who had made her angry burn along with their families. Now, most will never see this side of her, and those that have seen it directed at them have done something terribly and truly deserved it. Verona, for all intents and purposes, is a good person and trys her best to be one.
At the end of the day even those that do not like her, can respect Verona for her morals and that fact that she trys very hard to keep her anger in check even when someone deserves it. They can even respect her for how genuine she is about caring for everyone around her, often going beyond what is expected of her to help out.

H I S T O R Y
Born to a drug addicted prostitute it was to no ones surprise when Adella Black ended up pregnant at sixteen, her whole life had been hard, often times not being able to eat for weeks at a time which was why she didn't find out she was pregnant about six months into her pregnancy when she was rushed to the hospital for what was thought to be appendix rupturing. It was then that little Adella Black, who had long been on her way to becoming just like her mother, changed her destiny for she swore to all that would listen that she would not be her mother.
It was a humid summer afternoon some three months later that Adella went into labor and delivered a lively little six pound baby girl who she named Verona, Two years later and Adella is working three jobs and doing online courses to give herself and her sweet angelic child a better future when she meet Robert Jameson. He was the one, one late night in the Café Adella spent most of her working hours at, that pointed out that Verona and seemed to produce a twin. After that, and a promise to not devolge Verona's power, the two adults started seeing each other when ever Adella had free time.
It was a mere six months later that Robert and Adella married and four months after that, that Robert finalized the adoption paperwork and was Verona's father in all but blood. Not that it mattered to the little girl. As she grew along with her powers she was very close to both her parents and so when her mother passed away alittle before Verona's eleventh birthday it felt completely natural to mourn and take care of her father just as he did her.
After her father finally came out of the slump that he was in after Adella's death he started a hard core regiment to train Verona to use her powers and to protect herself. It was hard for the young girl to get use to the new found training but she started to really enjoy it after awhile and worked hard to make her father proud of her and what she can do. It was a little after her eighteenth birthday when Verona met Conner for the first time but it took her awhile to inform him of her gift. Sense that time she helped him get more powered people in their squad and started to use her powers against the Guardians.
