Vanessa suffers from general anxiety, though in recent years this has worsened into paranoia about "someone" listening. She is fairly unhappy with herself and her current life, resulting in a short temper and overall antisocial attitude that only serves to further her isolation.

She is physically incapable of making good food. Every meal Vanessa makes is comically bad, but she’s so tired all the time that she eats it anyways. She's also prone to tripping, walking into furniture, and dropping whatever important thing she's trying to hold. Her girlfailure swag is unreal.

Vanessa is respected by next to no one, and returns the favor by holding little respect for everyone else. She does not care for children at all, and treats them more like stray dogs if they're left in her care because she doesn't know what to do with them. She genuinely considered leaving Gregory a water bowl to go along with his bed of discarded clothing when she contained him in the Lost and Found.

Extremely skilled programmer, Vanessa spends her free time creating debilitating computer viruses for fun. She's intimately familiar with almost every line of code that the Pizzaplex operates on and actually uses a custom language for everything she creates. Despite it all she retains a passion for computer science and an appreciation for the mechanical.

Although Vanessa isn't under Malhare's control 24/7 she's always able to see and hear him. He does little more than offer backhanded advice and ruin conversations by standing behind whoever she's talking to. She has a habit of responding to his feedback out loud when she thinks she's alone.

Her spirit has been broken in the years since her initial infection. Vanessa has no will left to fight against what's happening, aided by her inability to remember any of her actions carried out by Vanny.

She used to love rabbits.
