Biography
Veronica Saywer used to be one of the unpopulars of the school. She used to be best friends with dweebette Betty Finn. Her parents once wanted to move her out of the sixth grade because she was too smart. Later in high school, years before Veronica met Heather Chandler, she was best friends with Betty, one of the unpopular people. She left Betty after Heather Chandler invited her to become part of her clique. Veronica met Heather Chandler some when during their teen years. Before Veronica was part of her clique, it already consisted of three other girls who had the same name as their leader. They were Heather Duke and Heather McNamara. During one of their lunchtime polls, Veronica catches the eye of new-student and outsider Jason Dean, also known as J.D. She meets him a second time in Snappy Snack Shack, in where he treats her to a slushie. She meets him the third time when he climbs into her bedroom window and challenges her to a game of croquet, which eventually turned into a game of strip croquet, because "it's much more interesting than just flinging off your clothes and boning away on the neighbor's swing set."

The morning after their Remington University party, she and J.D. visit Heather's house in a plan for Veronica's revenge: to make Heather "puke her guts out". They offer her a wake-up cup full of milk and orange juice but Veronica gave her the wrong cup and gave her liquid drainer instead which kills Heather. Because the incident would be considered a crime ("Fuck it if she can't take a joke, Sarge."), they decide to fake it into a suicide. After Heather's funeral, Veronica accompanied Heather as Kurt Kelly's date for his double date with Ram Sweeney. The next day, Kurt claims that Veronica gave him and Ram oral-sex. Veronica and J.D decides to make fun of them but using J.D called "ich luge" bullets, which he claimed were harmless. But, ich luge actually means "I lied" in German, so the bullets ended up killing both Kurt and Ram, which was showed through a fake suicide, one that states thet "they could never reveal their forbidden love to an uncaring and ununderstanding world." Veronica soon realizes that J.D. is going too far. She tells him that she wants to break-up with him. Unfortunately, J.D. keeps luring her back to him but she tries to resist. J.D. soon reveals his plot to blow up the entire school. At the day of the suspected bombing, Veronica successfully stops J.D. (partially by shooting his middle-finger off). In the end, after J.D. blows himself up, Veronica bumps upon Heather Duke and takes her red scrunchie, stating that "there's a new sheriff in town" and invites Martha Dunnstock to watch movies with her on prom night.
