Biography
Background
Originally Marv was partnered with a fellow criminal named Harry Lime, but after their plans were scuppered numerous times by a kid named Kevin McCallister resulting in imprisonment, Marv decided to severe ties with him and later met Vera. The pair married and became partners in crime, with Marv believing he is the boss (when in fact his mother Molly acted as the mastermind).
Home Alone 4
Vera first appears in a van with Marv. Vera and Marv go to Peter and Natalie's house. When they are in there Kevin turns on the water and Marv and Vera get wet. They keep triggering Kevin's traps until they fly on the chandelier and then they fall off. Peter, Buzz, and Meagan return and see the merchants on the floor. After the defeat of Molly merchant, the 2 tried to escape from the house but are tripped by Buzz and Meagan and they sit on the crooks (Buzz sits on Marv and Meagan sits on Vera). When the police arrive they arrest the merchants and take them to jail.
Personality
Although she is married to Marv, they appear to be in a love-hate relationship, exchanging insults and blows to each other at different times. She's taller than Marv.
