* {{Expy}}: In-universe, even. Verity's adoptive parents deliberately named her as an infant after Verity Carlo, a character from an [[ComicBook/TheTransformersMegaseries IDW comic-book run]] on ''[[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Transformers]]''. The adoptive mother, Jazmin, was a comic-book artist who had insider knowledge that the comics would include a character with this name, already a few years prior to the official publication.

* SpicyLatina: DownplayedTrope. She's of Hispanic descent thanks to her biological family, but she's not exactly a sexual person and any fanservice of her is nonexistent - unless you count her little hip-bump with Dearhart, that is, which definitely exhibits some trappings of this trope. Even if ironically, it comes after she's no longer got a human body. Regardless, she's definitely tough, brash and confrontational.

* YouKilledMyFather: In the figurative sense, yet nonetheless, Verity's key grudge against the Solar Empire is rooted in her mother voluntarily converting in a desperate bid to stave off Alzheimer's - which, to add insult to injury, reverted the {{Transgender}} Jazmin back to a male body in the process.

* GoingNative: As best demonstrated, cheekily, by her and Dearheart's hip-bump. It isn't full-on StartingANewLife, because Verity holds on firmly to her human heritage and owns up to her actions with the HLF, but she appears to be comfortably settling in as a pony.



** Verity later tells Princess Cadance that she believes it is possible to reverse her transformation, which she personally wouldn't mind, but she claims that she chooses to stay this way so as to facilitate her relationship with Dearheart. Underneath those words, it is implied that Verity has come to accept living out her life as a pony, raising a pony family. [[spoiler: The revelation of her cutie mark, shaped like a ''[[Franchise/{{Transformers}}]]'' logo, further hints at it]].

* ItsPersonal: Verity's mother, Jazmin, suffered from the early symptoms of Alzheimer's and took the ponification serum at a Boston hospital to cure it. Not only did Jazmin undergo the personality changes that come with being a Newfoal, but [[spoiler:she was also UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}}, and was turned into a stallion by the potion]], and left the family shortly after getting turned, causing Verity and her father Mike to join the HLF.

* {{Foil}}: To Viktor Kraber. Both are former HLF members, known for being especially fanatical, who get taken in by the PHL; both undergo a HeelFaceTurn, partially through finding love with a pony. Where Verity differs from Kraber lies in her commitment to turning away from the path of violence, and her regret over her hate crimes is not limited solely to PHL members and civilians. As such, when Verity reappears in the main story, she's left the custody of the PHL, who seem grudgingly tolerant of her independence; by contrast, the PHL keep as tight a leash they can on Kraber, a precarious condition which Yael Ze'ev and Aegis may be the only ones to keep in check.
** Just to underline the point, ''Light Despondent'' sees Kraber developing an attachment to Aegis and his children, with hints sprinkled of them forming a surrogate family; the main story [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this, as it shows the PHL didn't so [[EasilyForgiven easily forgive]] Kraber for his murder spree, Aegis went down with Kraber [[BetrayalByInaction for not bringing him in]] upon finding out who he really was, and Aegis's children were left parentless after his placement alongside Kraber on a punitive squad. In effect, Amber and Rivet are adopted by Verity instead, together with Dearheart.



* HappilyAdopted: The timeline states that she was the result of an unplanned pregnancy and her birth mother put her up for adoption. Verity went on to live a happy life with the Carter family... until things went down the drain.
