Veronica Donovan, played by Robin Tunney, is a fictional character from Fox television series Prison Break. The younger Veronica is portrayed by Annie Yokom, who has only appeared once in the series - in episode "Brother's Keeper".
Veronica Donovan dated Lincoln Burrows while they were in high school despite them being two very different people. She moved away from the city life of Chicago to attend the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she received a B.A. in political science. After receiving her juris doctorate from Baylor Law School in Waco, Texas, she moved back to Chicago and worked as a real estate lawyer at Bianchi and Guthrie.

[edit] Appearances
Veronica was one of the major characters in the series. She appeared in every episode of season one but was killed off in the second season's premiere episode, "Manhunt".
[edit] Season 1
Although she is a real estate lawyer and not a criminal lawyer, Veronica defended her childhood friend, Michael Scofield at his trial. Initially she didn't believe Lincoln's innocence and was convinced by the security tape footage. However, after a string of occurrences, Veronica was led to believe that Lincoln might have been set up.
She approached Project Justice for help with Lincoln's case, knowing that she herself did not have any experience in death penalty cases. However, they refused to partake in her case. Nick Savrinn later offered his help after telling her that his father was similarly accused of a crime he did not commit. Together, they worked tirelessly, trying to uncover the truth behind Terrence Steadman's apparent murder. After being nearly killed several times by agents, they eventually found out Terrence Steadman's hideout in Blackfoot, Montana.
However, Veronica was betrayed by Nick upon Abruzzi's request to have her "ready and waiting" at the airport on the night of the escape. She was sent to a taxi that led her to the airport because Nick didn't want her killed. After arriving at Blackfoot, Montana, she managed to sneak into Steadman's house and confronted him.
[edit] Season 2
Following her confrontation with Steadman, she called the police for help, as the house in which Steadman lived was only accessible from the outside. Hoping to reveal the conspiracy, her efforts were abruptly ended with the arrival of covert agents who executed her in order to prevent her from uncovering the truth. It turns out that the land Steadman was on was federal grounds, and all calls went to the agents.
