Subject: Vermouth (Chris Vineyard? Sharon Vineyard? Neither?)
Prognosis: Ummm…
Subject is female. That’s the only factor that we have, if not with absolute certainty (because NOTHING is certain about Vermouth), then at least with the highest probability. Descent is unknown though what may be her natural colouring is distinctly Aryan, suggesting that she is likely to be of Northern European descent. Age is also unknown- fingerprint evidence suggests that she must be at least in her forties, but what has been pretty much proven to be her real face (it bled when Akai shot it) is clearly that of a woman in her early twenties; either she ages annoyingly well, got a hell of a good Botox, or there’s something stranger going on there. Stamina, strength and reflexes all suggest youth, but is of distinctly higher rank and prominence in the Shadow Syndicate than any other member seen so far, at least equal to and probably higher than Gin. Highly skilled in disguise, capable of imitating anybody’s voice, face and manner with a skill equal to the Kaitou Kid’s, which makes sense given that they had the same sensei. A highly intelligent person and skilled fighter, though she is a loner with some obscure and odd motives.
Where to start? Her ambiguous background makes precise analysis difficult, which means that, rather like Gin, this will be less of a profile than using Psychology to make some educated guesswork about her past. Her most striking psychological facets are her affinity for children, her slightly twisted sense of honour, and her dissatisfaction with her life and the Syndicate. The fondness for children is perhaps the most singularly odd and distinctive feature. Her visible interactions with children are limited but interesting; the earliest known case is when she met Jodie as a child. It can be pointed out that she left Jodie to die in the burning building, but she didn’t restrain her or make certain that she couldn’t escape, let along simply kill her outright, which would obviously have been the safest option- in fact she was almost sweet to the girl on the way out, murder of her parents notwithstanding. She refused to kill the child who witnessed Kir’s crash as well, and as was mentioned by Ariade himself was very caring towards the students while she acted as him; this could be put down to her acting skills at playing his part, but her actions are regarded by Ariade and commented on by a few students as unusually nice, even for him. At times she seems to have an almost motherly caring for Shinichi , a prime case being in the Monster Party arc where she was revealed to have disguised herself as Dr Ariade. At the end, when she and Shinichi are alone in the car just after she’s done texting Anokata, the expression on her face as she contemplates what to do with Shinichi is shockingly tender. In the end, she even covers him with her coat when she leaves him alive, again an unnecessarily kind move for someone who might simply have been repaying a life debt. She’s clearly not an affectionless psychopath like Gin; it would make forming a playful relationship like the one she displayed with Yukiko in the Golden Apple arc impossible, even with acting skill. She’s shown unconditional kindness frequently to those around her, none more so than Shinichi and Ran, more than might be necessary for someone who feels the obligation of a life debt; there is a sense that this debt is an excuse not to harm them, rather than a reason.
She does not exhibit this kindness and almost motherly nature towards children in the case of Sherry, presumably due to the fact that she knows that she’s an adult and deeply hates that adult, though something caused her to stay her hand just long enough for Ran to pop up. The reason for her hatred of Sherry is also unknown, though Vermouth has implied that it has to do with Sherry’s research and APTX 4869, something that it generally held to be an attempt at the elixir of immortality. A theory about Vermouth that has been suggested (not just by me ^_^;) is that she is immortal, hence the unaging, and in keeping with how all modern fiction deals with immortality she views it as a curse, which would explain why her desire to stop the research is so powerful. It’s also possible that she resents Sherry due to her defection from the Syndicate, though this is unlikely given that she does not appear to place the Syndicate’s wishes above all else- she does give up on Sherry rather quickly at Shinichi’s request. She also might have been jealous or disapproving of the pseudo-quasi-WTF-relationship between Sherry and Gin, given that she hits on Gin a lot, but it’s actually more likely that she hits on him so much because she likes his reactions.
Vermouth is like that in a lot of areas, which might be one of the reasons she’s so fond of Shinichi’s involvement- she’s likes to mix things up just to see what happens. The internet translation would be that she loves doing things “for the lulzâ€
