I don't know what it is, but she's one of my favorite Phoenix Wright girls.
What is it that's so appealing about this sweet disaffected shut-in?

Also, I don't like defending criminals - which means 3-2, 3-4 and 3-5 are going be really tough for me.
And lastly, given that she cost Phoenix his badge, any sympathy I have about her dad's death, quickly evaporates into thin air.
Even though I plainly dislike her, I have to say that as an artist, she is pretty good, I'll give her that. *Wishes he was as good as Vera is at art*

Her "awakening" at the end made me appreciate her a little more... a little...
The true dickhead is Drew. (AND Zak AND Kristoph...)

They just threw in an, "Oh, she was kidnapped" as an excuse without developing that at all

I was half expecting them to blame that on Kristoph too.
I kind of liked Vera, but she just didn't fit as a defendant. She seemed way more like a witness type (they're the ones that have such quirks, rite). I can actually see her being a returning character though, so maybe she'll be fleshed out if she comes back in the next game.
Magical isn't it?

Vera was a failure. She had no real personality, and no good backstory. She had no morals and willingly complied with her criminal dad. And at the end, what little shred of personality she had left for no good reason. I half expected her to start discussing burgers, ramen or spirit channeling given the direction the character was going in. She didn't seem to care if you won or lost, and neither did I as a result. A horrible defendant to top off GS4's already bad group; they're ALL criminals (Phoenix too, if you recall 4-1's ending).

Vera had a very definite personality. However, it is a very shy personality, which may make it seem like she has no personality. Although her background does need to be fleshed out.
Except for the fact that she was a 12 year old girl when it began, and she was very shielded. She didn't know that what she was doing was wrong; she just did what her father told her to do, make the forgeries, without knowing what he was doing with them.
Hey, I thought the fact that all defendants are still guilty of some crime was neat xD

I love Vera. She's so sweet. And I don't understand where all this hatred of Drew comes from. He clearly genuinely loved her and was horrified at what happened to Phoenix because of that page.

For me, its easy to understand the Drew Misham hate. Vera Misham possessed a gift for artistry that her father found out at a very early age. While I'm sure that he loved his daughter, the simple fact is that he immediately started exploiting the gift for his own personal gain. Worse, to preserve his secret, Drew kept Vera from having a normal life and kept her isolated as his servant.
Hell, if he's getting paid $100,000 for forged evidence, the least he could do is let his daughter have some of it. One look at their apartment shows he's also a miser unless he's got a bunch of properties we don't know about.

That's not an assumption at all. After nearly being kidnapped, Vera was terrified of going out. She had a panic attack/tantrum when they tried to arrest her, because of this. Her father was not keeping her imprisoned against her will or anything like that.
As for the forgeries, she likely did not realize she was committing a crime when she was a child-she was just happy to be making her father proud.
I don't want to defend Drew at all, because of his role in what happened to Phoenix, but it is possible he just fell into a bad habit. It takes money to make money. Even with talent, it is not exactly easy to make a good living as an artist, and you need money for stuff like food and rent, etc., as well as various art supplies. Once he realized Vera's talent, it's possible he used it out of desperation-they might have needed the money badly. And once he got started, he just couldn't stop. He was a single man raising a child, and most of the money could have been gone in a flash depending on what he had to spend it on.
It makes me sad to see Vera getting so much hate. Aside from when she ignores people to paint her nails, I liked her. She was so shy and cute, and I cracked up when someone-Apollo?-told her to smile, and she drew the smiley-face, keeping her expression deadpan.XD As a side note, what the heck was that one thing she drew-looked like a circle with a vase and the number one in it?>_>
I do hope her nearly being kidnapped is elaborated on in one of the later games.

I'd make a rant about Drew, but I'm lazy. All you need to know is that I like Vera. : D

However, her drawing sprites were adorable.
OHHH!!! Maybe there can be a flashback case in Gyukaten Kenji about when she got kidnapped and you need to find her! *brick'd*
I hated her father. With a passion.

Fear, Shy, Withdrawn, Excitement (Graymere), and Gratitude.
She certainly had more emotion than Machi at times.
Plus was better than Wocky.

Machi was supposed to be emotionless (like all blind people) so he's off the hook.
Everyone is better than Wocky.

Machi was blind to his emotions, of course.: P Kind of like all the police in that case had to have been blind as bats.>_>
Vera has a lot of emotions, but she generally just keeps on a straight face. I love this, because it makes her smiling through her art that much more funny.XD

Anywway that's all off topic, I liked Vera. Especailly when people (Mia_Fey) invented the apollo/Vera pairing.
If there was a drew apprieciation thread i would sing my praises as i think he was possible (except for Apollo) the cutest charecter in the game. DREW XD XD XD <3<3<3
