Oh Vanessa's got tons of criminal tendencies. Having Daken in her life prettymuch meant "Here, let me teach you all sorts of questionable life skills that will make you a survivor". She's trying to be a good person, but there's a strong disregard for the law. Anti-hero all the way. ;) Illegal vigilantism rather than registered superheroics FTW.
Now that Vanessa's graduating I can take a look at my other student character ideas. She's still young enough to hang out with student characters, but a graduate and legally an adult which opens up more lines for her. :D
