Personality[]
Overall, Veruca is a spoiled little brat. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants. However, this leads to her own downfall as she failed to get the squirrel and flying glass elevator. Unlike her parents, she still didn't learn her lesson at the end.
She is also very stupid, as she underestimated some squirrels and foolishly stood on the good or bad egg tile and fell in. She also thought Willy Wonka's imitating of her daddy's voice was really her daddy speaking.
She is very mean to others too. Although she befriended Violet earlier, she later remarked that she should be put in a county fair.
Regardless, she isn't played without sympathy as the Oompa Loompas blame her parents for spoiling her, as them spoiling her was what made her what she is today.
Synopsis[]

1971[]
TBA
2005[]
She is seen as one of the winners of the Golden Ticket. Her parents bragged about how she nagged them to get it for so long and how happy she was when she finally got it. She is later seen reading her ticket.
On the day of the visit to Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory, she begged her daddy to be in. When introducing herself to Willy Wonka, he thought her name was a wart you get on a foot and chuckles. She later befriended Violet Bueruguarde on the way in.
She is the first one to spot an Oompa Loompa.
In the scene where Violet turns into a blueberry, she suggested she should be put in a county fair.
In the Squirrel factory, she begs her daddy to get a squirrel for her. When she failed, she gets in by herself and when she tries to get one, they all grab her. A squirrel tests to see if she's a "bad nut" and under the belief that she really is bad, she gets thrown into the garbage chute. The Oompa Loompas come in and sing a song lamenting her fall and asking her parents why they spoiled her. Then he gets thrown into the garbage chute.
The very last scene has her get out of the chocolate factory all covered up in garbage and filth. She asks for a flying glass elevator but her father declines and tells her she will only get a bath tonight. After this, they walk out to the crowd where they were likely interviewed for her awful experience and she is never seen again after that.
Trivia[]
- In the 2005 movie adaptation, Veruca is the only kid eliminated from the tour that is confirmed to not have permanent damage on her body due to merely being covered in garbage, as Violet permanently became blue and flexible, Mike permanently became tall but flattened, and while not confirmed, Augustus is likely to have been permanently turned into chocolate.
- It could also be said that Veruca is the polar opposite of Charlie, due to Charlie being very nice to almost everybody around him while Veruca is nothing but rude to almost everybody around her.
