Vera Kane

Vera Kane was a religious leader on the Ark. Her church—in response to both the nuclear apocalypse, and surviving in space—was Earth-centric, seeing “going home” (returning to the ground) as a type of heaven. The church keeps a small tree alive on the Ark as a symbol of the living Earth.

Physical Appearance
She has dark-brown hair, and she has brown eyes.

Personality
She was a very strong woman, becoming a leader in her Earth-centric church. She also had a soft and caring side, shown in interactions with her son, Councilman Marcus Kane, despite his apparently leaving the church.

Marcus Kane
Both Marcus and Vera, love each other very much, as being that they are the only two of their family left. Vera has a very kind personality for Kane, and she believes he can do great things. However, Marcus is often embarassed by his mother's peaceful nature.
