Vespera De Vries was born to a Foundation Lineage on February 16th, 2000. Her mother, Lotte De Vries, a Dutch national, was an intelligence analyst. During her career, she made waves within the Foundation for her strategic ability and success with high-risk operations. Her father, Alejandro Gutiérrez, originally from Argentina, holds a significant position as an Assistant Director within the DEA. Previously, Alejandro intended on having a son to carry his legacy, but Vespera being a girl didn't change that goal. From a young age, Vespera was placed in an intense environment of preparation and academics. The psychiatrist who handled Vespera's psychological screening believes that Alejandro held cultural beliefs that Vespera would not be taken seriously as a woman within the DEA, as he did not take women in the field seriously. To combat this, Alejandro taught Vespera that she was naturally weaker and not as capable, and therefore needed to surpass her male counterparts in every domain. He set her on an accelerated path using his financial resources and influence. By the time she entered her teenage years, her days were filled with specialized tutoring, advanced psychology courses, and language training alongside traditional schooling within the private sector. Vespera was particularly drawn to sports, excelling in tennis, swimming, and fencing; three sports her father deemed dignified yet rigorous enough to build character and strength. Vespera went on to win a regional championship in tennis by age 14 and two gold medals in interschool fencing competitions. She had friends, naturally drawn to her due to status and ability, though she never developed many close friendships. At age 15, she skipped grades and began the process for college. Alejandro's influence allowed her to enroll in an elite intelligence studies program and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Vespera's academic record is near impeccable; however, her upbringing was sheltered, leaving her largely inexperienced in real-world pressure and genuine crisis situations.

At 18 years old, Vespera won multiple awards in competitive debate tournaments, showing early skill in persuasive tactics, finishing her fourth year of college with a long academic sheet full of extracurriciulars and off-campus programs. At 20, in 2020, Vespera graduated from Georgetown University. She holds a bachelor's degree in International Relations and minors in cybersecurity and criminal Psychology. Once her parents deemed her intellectual capabilities sufficient, they started her on physical training and Foundation Internships. The majority of said internships were set up by her father, including crisis negotiation and intelligence analysis. Her entire young adult life was spent learning, training, and working alongside her mother, who has since retired. From 20 to 22, Alejandro got her into particular internships with a focus on covert operations and veil maintainment. From this, Vespera gained firsthand experience in low-risk intelligence operations.

In 2022, at age 22, Vespera was fast-tracked into the SCP Foundation, joining the Department of External Affairs as a part of a junior team in Field Operations. Thanks to her father's connections, she was placed on assignment sooner than most recruits on June 3rd, 2022. Confident in her abilities, Vespera entered the mission feeling untouchable; legacy and meticulous preparation shielding her from any doubt. The assignment involved overseeing a low-risk deal between the Foundation and a smaller GOI. Her role was to simply monitor communications and report any unusual activity, with a security team present as backup. However, the situation went awry when negotiations escalated. The GOI operatives, armed and prepared for conflict, had ambushed the team. At that moment, Vespera froze. As a result of her inaction, one of the security team members sustained severe injuries while protecting her. Her inability to put the entire team at risk, forcing a higher-ranking agent to intervene, taking control of the situation, and securing their safety. Had it not been for the agent's actions, Vespera would most likely be dead. In the aftermath, her father's connections shielded her from the full consequences of her failure, reducing what could have been a severe reprimand to a simple note in her record.  However, this incident shook her deeply. She had long believed in her preparedness and superiority, dismissing the critiscisms of being a nepohire. Now, faced with the reality of her sheltered and privileged upbringing, her sense of entitlement wavered. Though it was still present. The incident became a catalyst for self-reflection, aassumed from her change in demeanor and doubled volunteer shifts and training sessions. To put it bluntly, Vespera realized that despite her academic and physical accomplishments, she lacked the practical experience and grounded humility that her colleagues possessed. Determined to take control of her career, Vespera dropped her father's last name and adopted her mother's maiden name, "De Vries," in an attempt to distance herself from her father's influence. her focus shifted away from climbing ranks; instead, she focused on complete succes sin wyatever task was presented to her. To make her legacy and prove that she was, in fact, perfect.

Immediately following the incident, Vespera requested a site-transfer to distance herself from her intial posting and the shadows of her failure. Though Alejandro initially delayed this, the transfer was approved in August 2022, relocated her to Site-[][], still within the DEA.

Between 2023 and 2024, Vespera spent her time at Site-[][], which was considered a boring, research-heavy, low-risk assignment base. Her duties included containment logistics, anomaly observation, monitoring safe-class anomalies, and updating behavioral logs. She took on minor roles such as amnestic preparation, veil report filing, and database cleanup. She also attended mandatory psychological reviews, stress-response training, and peer observation. over this period, she gradually regained competence, earning cautious praise from staff for her consistency and patience, but was no longer seen as a promising rising star due to the previous field failure, with limited opportunity to prove otherwise. 

In June 2025, after nearly two years at Site-[][], her request for a lateral transfer into Epsilon-11 was approved; she had put the transfer request in back in 2023. Alejandro had attempted to block this transfer, due to the fact that if her transfer was approved, she would be sent to Site-66.

On July 18th, 2025, Vespera finally arrived at Site-66 and started her first day as an Epsilon-11 NTF Private.

On July 18th, three hours after her first shift, Vespera was promoted to Epsilon-11 NTF Private Second Class.
