what do they do to convince others that they are harmless?;
This probably isn't the best way, but Vera will try to guilt trip them. She really doesn't care what others think of her, but she gets irritated beyond belief knowing they're judging her because of how she looks. So, whenever someone happens to show some kind of discomfort towards her, she'll state in a fake, timid voice, "you're scared of me aren't you? That's okay, I'm used to it" or "huh, of course, most people are scared of me, I don't know why I expected you to be any different" and go back to doing what she was doing(most likely reading a book). She just does this to get back at them for judging her when they know nothing about her. This works and tends to ease others discomforts, but of course will make them feel guilty and awkward. Typically, when the plumie apologizes or tries to convince her that they aren't scared of her at all, she'll either continue with this facade or if she sees that they are genuinely sorry and not just embarrassed and attempting to be polite, she'll open up and start a genuine conversation. Of course she'll slip in a few comments like "you don't have to keep talking to me if you don't want to.." just to make it more convincing.
