Vera del Gnoni is selected by Dudley Burns as a pilot for the Nothung Model Fafners but encounters significant difficulty operating these units. Found alongside fellow pilots Shaoshao Chin and Olga Katina Betrenko by Sakura Kaname's group, she faces early challenges in her role. Vera participates in the critical Fifth Operation Azure aboard the R-Boat, aiding in Soushi Minashiro's retrieval and attending meetings about his condition. Returning to Tatsumiyajima, she appears in civilian settings like Ryouhei Douma's restaurant, offering comfort to Jeremy Lee Marcy. During Benon's assault on the Central Command Center (CDC), Vera assists in emergency evacuations, carrying Ruby Karma to safety near the Ashoka. She witnesses the fatalities of Anila Aurobindo Goshu, Shao Kishi, and Chizuru Toomi. Surviving a subsequent bike-type Festum attack thanks to Soushi Minashiro's intervention, she grieves Maya Toomi's loss with others. Vera later joins the L-Boat crew for the Second Plan L operation and participates in the Sixth Operation Azure aboard the R-Boat. She experiences the successful return to Tatsumiyajima after five years and is present at the CDC when Kazuki Makabe and Kouyou Kasugai depart. The work "Sōkyū no Fafner Behind the Line," focusing on former pilots in civilian careers, contains no provided information directly pertaining to Vera del Gnoni.
