Name: Vera Dardan
Age: 37
Country of Origin: Kosovo
Gender: Male (but crossdresses very believingly)
Position Sought: Psychological Profiler/Criminal Profiler - Specializes in Bombing and Arson Investigation
Experience or Education in said field: Is a licensed psychologist, has a Bachelor's in Criminology, and minored in Fire Science, also going through the National Fire Academy Training. Has been a Profiler for almost a year before getting switched over.
Physical appearance: Standing at 5'5", Vera has slightly tanned skin and red hair that goes down to just below his chest. Sometimes, his long hair can interfere with whatever he is doing, and in that case, he pulls it up into a high ponytail. He has a few freckles on his arms and face, but he usually covers those up with make-up, not particularly liking them. The crossdresser tends to wear dresses and skirts, rarely wearing pants unless he has to, and always does his best to dress up nice, even if the occasion doesn't call for it. Vera also tends to wear a bit of jewelry, usually just opting for a simple, yet elegant necklace and matching earrings, though occasionally he'll wear a bracelet, as well. With his padding that he uses in order to give him a chest, he has a medium sized one, sticking with about average.
Distinguishing features: Vera's one distinguishing feature has to be his flaming red hair. It's very vibrant, and makes him easy to spot out of all the people in the room. Other than that, unless you know he's a boy, in which case his distinguishing feature would be that he was dressed like a girl, he really doesn't have any that make him particularly noticeable.
Character history/personality:
Personality:
Vera is a very happy, cheerful person, usually with a smile on his face. He gets embarrassed a lot, and also blushes very easily, but is almost perpetually in a good mood. It takes a bit to irritate him, but once you do, he will snarl and snap at you, though he isn't particularly intimidating, no matter how hard he tries. When it is time for serious business, he can buckle down and take things seriously, but he only does that when working on his profiling, so his childish nature can irritate people if they want him to stop. The crossdresser can really be like a child at times, a little girl to be exact, poking and pouting and the like. He doesn't need much sleep, and oftentimes, can be hyper from too much of it, practically vibrating to get rid of all the extra energy. Vera is shy when it comes to romantic manners, blushing when a boy so much as holds his hand, but if touching is absolutely platonic, he'll be like a cat, trying to get as much as he could. Though it you don't see him in serious mode, he'll seem like a bit of a ditz, Vera is very intelligent, and is not afraid to use that at times.
History:
Vera was raised with his Mom and his older sister, in the country of Kosovo. They were quite poor, and he was raised in his sister's clothes as a result, feeling quite comfortable in them. When his mother died of sickness when he was only eight, the two siblings fled to England, using up the majority of their money, but wanting to get away from their poverty-filled homeland, fraught with danger and war.
Going to the local school while his sister worked odd jobs, it was discovered that Vera was highly intelligent for his age, and he ended up skipping grades, enjoying getting higher and higher, and doing his best to teach his sister what he learned. It was around the age of 11, when he was beginning his first year of high school, that he began to think that criminology and psychology was his calling, and studied many books on the subjects, much to his schoolmate's and teacher's bemusement.
Unfortunately, right before he graduated high school at the age of 15, tragedy struck, killing his sister in a fire that burned up several houses. Vera was devastated, especially when he found out it was arson, and threw himself into his books with a fervor like none other, distracting himself from the pain. It was then that he decided that he wanted to do Arson investigating, as well, and began delving for books on that subject.
His case was an unusual one, being a citizen of the United Kingdom, but a former one from another country, as well as the fact that he was headed to college on many financial grants and scholarships, having to borrow much money even then, and it was decided he could live on his own, but have a social worker check in on him. Fine with that, Vera continued to devote himself to his studies, not making many friends, but one, a boy named Evan, his very best friend. It was one of the happiest days of his life when the other boy accepted the crossdresser for, well, being a crossdresser, and Vera cherished him very deeply.
Graduating at the top of almost all of her classes, Vera scouted around for many psychology and criminology jobs, finally getting granted a probationary term as a part of the BAU, before becoming a full agent. He took an immense liking to her job, and though he could not be by his best friend, whom he keeps in touch with, and will not trade it for the world.

Quirks/Fears:
- Crossdressing: Obviously, one of Vera's quirks would be crossdressing. He views himself as sort of transgender, though is attracted to males and feels highly uncomfortable in any sort of male clothing, or being identified as such.
- Being Judged and Rejected: Vera is afraid that if he lets someone into his life, romantically, when they find out that he is male physically, they'll leave him.
- Fire: Though he will do his best to hide it, he is scared of fire. Even if he can manage throughout the day to not show his fear, once it hits nighttime, nightmares will surface.
- Zombies: He is completely, a hundred percent, terrified of zombies. If you show him a movie that has any form of the undead in it, even for a few minutes, he will not be able to sleep that night.
RP Sample:
Vera grinned brightly, pleased with what he saw in the mirror. The blue dress perfectly complimented his eyes, and he looked really good, if he could say so. One might wonder what he was getting so dressed up for, but, in reality, the crossdresser was just headed to the library. He had to look great for the books, after all, and those sweet old lady librarians who were always going on about how a sweet girl like him shouldn’t be reading such nasty stuff.
Grabbing his green leather purse, and locking the door to his apartment behind him, the Kosovan boy set off in his car, humming along to the rock song playing on his radio. He sure as heck didn’t know what the song was, and couldn’t really make out the words, but the tune sure was catchy! Shutting his door, Vera set off, striding confidently with a hint of a saunter, into the library, card swinging around his neck. Waving merrily to Mrs. Ellen and to Ms. Hinden, as well as blushing slightly as the intern, Blake, winked at him, the crossdresser set off right to the adult fiction section, looking for two different kinds of books: Mystery and Romance, his two favorites.
Having gathered a sufficient number of books, and squealed many times over how cute some of the romances sounded, Vera headed to check out, blushing as he realized that the only open spot was where Blake was. Taking a breath and stealing himself, he walked forward, greeting the other boy with a smile. ”Hey, Blake!” he told him, his voice a lot more confident that he actually felt. The intern only returned his greeting, checking out his books as usual, which made the crossdresser breathe a small sigh of relief, having been worried the other would flirt with him. Blake was nice, but… He was a bit of a player, to put it nicely.
Now reassured that he was going to do anything, Vera smiled at him as he held out his hand for his card, the transaction done. Unfortunately, that left him more than a little surprised when Blake flipped his hand over, laying a kiss on the back before handing back his card. Face turning bright red, the Kosovan quickly scraped his books together, stammering out something unintelligible, before fleeing the library as fact as he could. God, that had been soooo embarrassing! And in front of all those other people, too!
Setting off home, the crossdresser already began to compose his mental letter to Evan, blush slowly fading as he distracted himself.
Any additional information? Vera is a really good trap, aka, he's not going to be caught out as a crossdresser at every single moment. Most likely, unless you're his supervisor and already know, or he's told you, you're not going to find out.

Please post a short introduction about yourself:
I go by the name of Etta, and I absolutely adore Hetalia. I tend to play more minor characters, one, because I like to sort of define my character, and that is difficult to do with the already 100% fleshed out ones, and because they need more love. I’m sixteen years old, and the characters that I have played are: Liechtenstein, New Zealand, FemHK, Kenya, Kosovo, Puerto Rico, and Iran.
Have you read the rules and settings?
Yup~!
Note: Just a btw, but the pic I used is really a boy crossdressing as a girl, so it's realistic~.[/center]
