Vanessa is the 15-year-old main character who has brown hair, light green eyes, and lives alone in a social home in the UK after her parents were killed when she was young. She has a declining mental condition that makes it difficult for her to form connections with others. She talks to herself and blames herself for her parents' death. Vanessa is devoted to finding the killer of her parents, as the man closest to them at the time had a scar under his eye. Due to her mental state, Vanessa tends to jump to conclusions and make accusations without knowing people, which could get her into trouble. She has no other relatives and was an only child, so feels more anti-social and awkward
