Born and raised on the Upper East Side in New York, Verity did for many years live up to the meaning of her name; truth. She never told Β lies and she could never keep a secret hidden for long. Many would say that this was a good trait to have in life, but it was something Verity soon would discover it not to be. At the age of sixteen, after walking in on her father going at it with her teacher on a student school night, she would confess to her mother about her fatherβs affair. Naturally, her parents soon after began the battle of something that resulted in a dreadful divorce.
At the beginning of her parents divorce, Verity had recently gotten into her first serious relationship. Β However, it didnβt take long before she discovered that he turned out to be a serial cheater. Whenever he got caught, he constantly blamed her by claiming she wasnβt enough for him, in order to justify his his own actions. Due to the circumstances, Verity decided to stay with him, at the time thinking that it was better than being alone. Eventually, it all got too much for Verity, and she eventually managed to break things off with him. In the beginning it was a on again, off again, type of a situation, before it eventually ended for good when she caught him with her best friend, right before things started to change for her again. Because of her ex-boyfriend, today she is terrified of commitment and will only do casual / friends with benefits type of romantic relationships, even though she deep down just wants to experience what true love would be and feel like.
Verity has always blamed herself for her parents divorce, and it also didnβt help that her younger sister (middle), blamed her too. This put a stain on their once close relationship. The outcome from all of this was that Verity began detaching herself from her surroundings even more than before. She got a lot more aggressive, and would often use sarcasm as a way to express herself. Especially in situations which made her uncomfortable. This new and odd behavior made her parents agree to have her assigned to attend the prestige boarding school in New York. In this way she would still be close enough to home, but yet be in a more stable environment which hopefully would help change her new behavior. Verity took some time to adapt to her new life at boarding school. Developing new friendships (it was where she met Brendon Rulli, who became her best friend), adapting to the new program and letβs not forget the teachers.
Once the news broke about her fatherβs engagement to her former teacher (the woman he had an affair with), things kind of snapped a bit for Verity. She started drinking and doing lighter drugs. Her grades started slipping, and eventually her mother made the decision to have Verity leave the boarding school and New York. She made some arrangements and decided to have her both moved and enrolled her old high school in Kismet Harbor, Oregon, where she originally is from.
Even though the move to Kismet Harbor was hard, and once again she found herself having to start over, a lot like she did when she was enrolled into boarding school, she was just happy to be out of what she came to realize having been a toxic environment in New York. Her mother had made living arrangements for her to live with her uncle and cousins, that soon became like second family to her. Even for a while there things were looking up for Verity. She was starting to settle in well and started making new friend. It was when she met both Nicole Peterson and Hazal Alpman, both who became what she considered best friends at the time, though the friendship with the latter ended after Verity started dating her ex boyfriend. However, her relationship was cut short due to her fear of commitment.
After high school, she enrolled into Chapman University as a psychology major, however she dropped out soon after. Instead, Verity picked up a full-time job as a bartender and waitress in town. Meanwhile she was trying to save up enough money so she could enroll herself to take classes in hopes of eventually one day become a certified makeup artist and hair stylist. She would practice on both herself and her closes friends, but every once Β in a while she would get asked to do smaller jobs for weddings and such, which she was always happy to say yes to!
At one point Verity entered into a friendβs with benefits arrangement with her friend Julian Hawthorne. It seemed like a good idea at the time, however she didnβt consider what possible consequences it could result in. It was eventually revealed that she had fallen pregnant with their child. The two planned on co-parenting and had started to make the necessary arrangements, however at her 12 week scan, it was revealed that the pregnancy had resulted in a miscarriage. It put a strain in their friendship, as well as her mentality. Luckily for Verity, she found comfort in her other friends, but especially Eddie Castro who was one of the only people she let in close enough to witness how everything really was impacting her.
It wasnβt until recently when her uncle sat down with her and revealed that he had set up a small trust fund for her, which he wanted to give her early access to, that she decided to take a leap of faith and enrolled herself into a makeup academy in LA. After getting accepted, she moved out of her room at Matheoβs house and headed off to the city of angels. Here she became roommates with Harlow Hanon, another Kismet Harbor native, and the two developed a strong, unexpected bond. Verity is currently finishing up her the last few weeks of her program, before she will return home with certificates and hopefully be able to continue her journey as a makeup artist.
