This was more a focus on her first impression which is the most lasting. It's also showing that she put on a front which ended up cracking as the newest updates came along. My main focus was that she has no one to bounce a bad idea off of so she has massive blind spots which cause her to pull a Leroy Jenkins. A great strength can also be the massive weakness that pulls you down as Edwin does end up seeing a more vulnerable Veronica given how she tells him her weak point.While I concur with a lot here, I think Veronica's determination is nut nearly as unshakable as you describe it to be. I remember multiple scenes in which she seems to doubt her own reason and seems to hint at the fact, that she might actually think that Rosa might need the victory more than herself, which might lead to Veronica's determination to crack at some point.
And yes, her determination is wavering as she sees everyone as something besides competitors. A real life analogy is with boxers who fought each other in the ring but through that blood bond, they can actually become friends. We don't have that here, but look into Tommy "Hitman" Hearns and Marvin "Marvelous" Hagler who fought for 3 rounds until a knockout and became lifelong friends.
Even a warrior can find allies on the battlefield and the relationships gained through this competition can certainly have lasting effects.
