Backtagging: sure!
Threadhopping: sure!
Fourthwalling: OKAY so this is a tricky bit. you're free to recognize Veronica if your character is into cult classics, tho they might wonder why she does not look like Winona Ryder. pls don't tell her about the musical.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): other than non-con I am chill.

Hugging this character: sure!
Kissing this character: haha ok sport but don't expect her to be happy with it.
Flirting with this character: sure I guess, but she's not exactly into being flirted with.
Fighting with this character: YES DO IT
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): we can talk this out on a case by case basis, but as a general rule I'm fine with anything except injuries to the eyes. it's just a squick.
Killing this character: let's talk this out on a case by case basis. generally pls don't go and murder her unless I've said so while plotting for events.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: haha sure why not! as a note, though, Veronica's head is not a fun place to be in. there's the occasional hallucination of Heather Chandler, Kurt Kelly, and Ram Sweeney, there's her crushing guilt and self-hatred, there's a mix of grief and anger about JD—she's kind of incredibly traumatized. also she has a diary, so even non-telepathic characters might be able to figure out what she's feeling re: things.
Warnings: Heathers is a canon that, in both movie and musical forms, brings up some very sensitive subject matter and treats them very flippantly most of the time. murder and suicide (faked, attempted, and real) are the most obvious warnings, but Veronica also has also encountered unhealthy relationships, mental health issues (ie PTSD), bullying, underage drinking, attempted date rape, and her very own hallucinations of her dead classmates. there's a chance she might end up referring to these in her tags in an oblique way, but I'll try to tread carefully around them.
Power: See the Me Inside of Me:
thanks to MOM, Veronica now has the ability to see or hear other people's guilt, in the form of who knows what, and in exchange other people get to see her guilt manifesting in the form of her ghosts! however, this ability is tied into her emotional state, and will only activate if she's in emotional turmoil. what this means for your character is that Veronica, by default, will not see any dark and dirty secrets they might have right off the bat, and even if she does, there's no guarantee she'll be able to understand it. see, how she sees a character's guilt is up to you! for example: if she runs into, say, Bucky Barnes, she might only be able to see flashes of some incredibly gory scenes of death and torture and won't be able to string them into a coherent picture.
meanwhile Bucky's going to wonder why this kid has another kid in a red nightgown and two guys in their skivvies taunting her.
you can even opt out of this power if you wish! we can handwave a reason as to why it doesn't work. I've even prepared a handy form.

Canon: Brick
Does your character have any guilt over something? Yes. So much.
Can Veronica see or hear your character's guilt? Yes.
How will this guilt manifest? Emily, the love of Brendan's life, is shot and left in a drain pipe at the start of the movie. It's canonical Brendan sat by the body for about twenty minutes in shock and he now associates the sound of the stream/running water with her, so there's that. Emily is a pale blonde girl with blue eyes who never stopped wearing the blue plastic bangles Brendan bought her when they were together and favors white; Veronica will see her crying or clutching her abdomen, saying 'whatever you gotta do to let me go, you gotta do it'. Another good sound to add to the auditory hallucinatory repertoire would be a payphone ringing.
Brendan was indirectly responsible for the death of The Pin, a gangster who he sort-of befriended. Since Brendan didn't see it directly (he was running the other way) Veronica should only hear a young man's voice desperately screaming Brendan's man, a gunshot and the sound of a cane and uneven footsteps. He's in shadow for most of his scenes, so I like the idea of him being half-glimpsed in the shadows around her, holding his cane.
Which ghost will they see? I'm a sadist so I'm tempted to say 'all three'. But I need to go watch Veronica's canon so for now we'll go with Heather since Brendan has some profound triggers when it comes to injured women and that'd get to him most effectively.

jeez man
WELP sorry to Brendan for Veronica's hallucination of Heather Chandler (...who is slightly more cruel than the actual Heather). the girl is cold and cruel and makes a hobby out of commenting on Veronica's worst ideas and may make a few references to JD on top of it so
no subject
Oh great, Heather sounds like Brendan's other ex. This'll be fun, in the way watching a trainwreck is morbidly fun.
