⊱ Her peers often discount Vi, though adults find it easier to see through her sweet demeanor. She doesn’t seem like a viper lying in the grass, but rather a rich girl who has more of a passion for fashion than witchcraft or murder. However, most adults won’t be fooled. Mostly because they can’t fall under her spell, metaphorically speaking.

⊱ No one could ever say that Violet isn’t passionate, almost to the point of headstrongness, but it’s to her benefit. She believes in being the mastermind of one's own success, and she won't let anyone "get in [her] fucking way." 

⊱ Despite her seeming conservativeness, mostly due to the whole “being an heiress” thing, Violet is quite the feminist. She’s often quoting Simone de Beauvoir, Anne Brontё, and Audra Lorde. Vi wants the world in the palm of her hand, and she’ll be damned if anyone stands in her way. B̶u̶t̶ ̶s̶h̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶n̶'t̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶v̶i̶c̶i̶o̶u̶s̶…Some would call this excessive or her way to success manipulative, but she’d call it necessary. Of course, she keeps the truly evil-seeming parts of her passion held beyond the shiny exterior of bubble-gum smacks and Crest white-strip smiles.

⊱ V shows people how she feels through actions. She’s incredibly good at giving a hug when she senses people need it. She’s loyal, but this doesn’t happen easily, which is why she holds grudges so easily. There’s a lot she expects out of those she loves, barring perhaps her father, but she gives back just as much, if not more. The years of ostracization got to her, making her incredibly distrusting of adults but longing for youthful friendship. Because of this, she’s quite the conversationalist, and she used to do Debate in middle school. Vi can squeeze in two hundred words a minute and somehow she makes sense.

⊱ Easily jealous, Violet gets attached quite easily. This can be a good thing since it shows her undying loyalty to those she loves, but it tends to get her in trouble more than anything. With her inability to move on from something peacefully, her many flirtationships often end in the boys mysteriously being replaced by pigs or disappearing during the Fall Festival. Her friendships also have the capacity to suffer too.

⊱ V tends to get a little carried away with her ambition, especially when it comes to human interaction. Half of the conversations people have with the social butterfly usually are only happening because she’s working an angle. Whether it’s for gossip, a hookup, notes, or… other things..., Violet has certain magic around her that allows her to get away with it- for the most part. She lost countless friends over the years because of this, but she finally got the balance right for high school. According to her, Vi doesn’t even realize she’s doing it until the person has already left. She just wants to be in control. All. The. Time. And God bless anyone who doesn’t give it to her.

⊱ As a massive flirt, she’s always got some guy on the tip of her finger. She didn’t use to be this way, but something about being a cheerleader and participating in theater empowered her. Made her bold. It was as though the siren-like effect she has on people amped up a notch, and she knew how to use it for once. Perhaps it was the fact that all eyes were on her that made her brave enough to tempt boys. Instead of repelling her classmates, she started to attract them. Made her desirable. Or something like that. It isn’t as though she [i]tries [/i], though. She just ends up making out with one dude after talking to him for a total of ten minutes. Without. Even. Trying. Hell, half the time she can’t even recall the conversation they had. She just knows it wasn’t memorable enough to stick with him for the long haul. O̶r̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶b̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶'s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶-s̶o̶-s̶u̶b̶t̶l̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶m̶i̶t̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶s̶u̶e̶s̶. Or the fear of rejection. Maybe add a dash of fear of how getting attached to someone might turn out. Who knows!

⊱ V easily lies to herself about her motivations and her strengths. To some extent, she doesn’t fully understand her capacity her narcissistic tendencies. However, there’s the other part of her that pretends these blatant flaws don’t exist when she’s fully aware of them. Thankfully, not everyone has completely caught on to how self-aware she is, at least everyone who isn’t above the age of 25 or else she’d be friendless. They just assume she’s a spoiled rich girl.

⊱ Managing a full schedule, starring in play after play, practicing daily with the cheer squad, and m̶a̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶s̶e̶l̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶d̶e̶r̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶  has its tolls, but Violet is always full of energy. She’s actually an insomniac, scoping out the DeWinter estate grounds well past midnight for no reason. She’s often caught sitting in front of the 100-year-old oak on the edge of the woods. Hilda, her maid and former nanny, used to fetch her and force her back to bed, but eventually, V’s father just told Hilda to leave her be. Something about the tree, the way it makes her feel like a rapid river draining into her heart with every beat, won’t allow her to rest. Or think straight. Somedays, it follows her throughout the day, but that’s usually only when something bad happens in Westcliffe. The lack of sleep, however, is also the source of the numerous blonde moments she has (perhaps another reason why people don’t see her as calculating as she actually is).

⊱ Violet has an insatiable lust for power and the ability to lead. She believes she wouldn’t be abusive (just a little convincing to “get things done!”), and she could be the difference between a mediocre show/routine and a memorable one. Everyone either underestimates her or fears her, especially her father.

⊱ With her insomnia comes the impulsive bravery! Vi is unafraid of the dark, spiders, knives, murders, the Boogey-man, you name it. She’s pretty immune to it all! She believes in them all (including the Boogey-man. Don’t laugh!), but she’s confident in her ability to fight them off. Besides- it never seems to effect her anyways.

[hider=𝒷𝒶𝒸𝓀𝑔𝓇𝑜𝓊𝓃𝒹] [list]
⊱ Given her family history and reputation, Violet is no stranger to wealth and wacky parenting. Especially since her dad inherited millions after her mother died in front of her dad when Vi was only six (No one except Violet, her dad, and the priest came to the funeral- if you were wondering). Because of this, her father was distant for most of her childhood, letting Hilda raise her. On the rare moments where Mr. DeWinter wanted to parent Violet, it was always strained. Her father flinched every time she moved. 

⊱ As Violet got older, her father grew more distasteful of her. She was never going to live up to the standards Mr. DeWinter held her to. Around this time, their relationship turned heated, resulting in fights where Violet took the brunt of her father's wrath. At one point, he yelled at her about how if she hadn’t been born, her mother wouldn’t have died. Although he has never physically harmed her, his shouts and accusations were enough to deal with on top of the loneliness that followed her from elementary to middle school.

⊱ Violet spent the next years growing up far before her time. Her father saw her mother in Vi, but she never understood this. She just knew there was something unholy about her, at least that’s what her father made her believe. It didn’t help that her few friends seemed to drop like flies, leaving her once they overheard their parents discuss the truer nature of her mother’s death. Violet was the wrong thing in the equation. The aberration. The stranger.

⊱ Things got worse when Vi’s one ex from 7th grade woke up the morning after he broke her heart to find his body trapped in a smelly, pink pig. Unfortunately, he became sausage. Everyone assumes Jason ran away during the Fall Festival, but Violet always suspected that the pig was him. Something about his squeals as they carried him out of Jason’s room. It almost sounded like Jason’s.

⊱ And let’s not talk about the girl on the swimming team who appeared from the waters at a meet with a full head of snakes for hair. People never connected it to her, but they didn’t know about their brief tryst during 8th grade. Even Vi isn’t sure if it was her, except for a recollection of breaking into the school the night before, traversing the border of the pool, and tossing a pig’s heart into it. Hilda told her that she must’ve sleepwalked off of the property, only making her suspicion stronger. 

⊱ Once she graduated 8th grade, things began to turn up for Violet. She started to find her place in high school, and people began to form their own opinions about her instead of listening to their parents about how the DeWinters were supposed to be avoided. High school drama, gossip, theater, cheerleading- all of it became a nice reprieve from her father, who was more involved in her life with her mother out of the picture. Since her time there, her father has never visited her.

⊱ It was around this time that Violet joined extra-curricular activities and came out of her shell. She found her place, so to speak. She has aspirations of becoming an award-winning, Broadway actress, but she'll settle for the Dallas Cowboys. She's known for her leadership qualities, given she's a total Rachel Berry and insists on heading up everything from the arrangement of the flyers to the score of the next musical. There's little she won't put herself as the front-woman of, and most of the time she's successful 

⊱ It seemed that Vi’s family reputation didn’t stop people from being 𝒶𝓉𝓉𝓇𝒶𝒸𝓉𝑒𝒹 to Violet. There was always something irresistible about her, the same with her mother. It runs in the family. It seemed that people would always want to talk to Violet, they just didn’t want to know Vi beyond a conversation or two that satisfied their curiosity. This just worsened in the coming years as she grew older, but at least it came more out of her high school status and less out of her family name.

⊱ Though she isn’t exactly aware of her abilities, she knows, like most things concerning the DeWinters of Westcliffe, there’s something off about her. She hasn’t slept through the night in almost six years. Something keeps her awake at night; a feeling of constant adrenaline pushing her to explore the forest late at night when no one’s awake. To steal a pot from the kitchen, start a bonfire, roast some herbs, dance amongst the trees, and speak an ancient language she doesn't recall learning.

⊱ Despite Violet’s insistence that she’s a normal, Christian girl, she’s finding it more and more difficult with each passing school Fall Festival to deny that a little bit of the Devil’s spirit lies within her.[/list][/hider]

⊱ Everything concerning Jason and the girl from the swim team is a well-kept secret by Violet. Except maybe she let a few things slip to people when she gets a little too tipsy from her favorite wine coolers.

⊱ She hopes of having a wild love affair, even though she’s terrified of intimacy.

⊱ Once a month, Violet has night terrors. Hilda knows, but thankfully she’s never said anything to her father. She’d never hear the end of it, she fears. 
⊱ Violet goes out at night to the oak tree in her backyard and often she communicates with the tree. She feels like she can understand it and it understands her better than any human. 

⊱ She’s bisexual, and Swim Team Girl outed her to her father. It’s something that caused the burn scars on her back, the ones right in the center, where her father burned his cigar through her favorite blouse (something she will probably never explain or admit her father did to her). Violet had kissed Swim Team Girl (who’s actually named Jennifer, but she refuses to ever speak her name again) a few days before, and she’d worn her poppy-printed, peasant blouse with the tassels she’d just watched a YouTube video to figure out how to do. She’d sewn it herself. Coming home from school, Violet was met with her father’s sullenness. He’d gotten a call from Jennifer’s mother. The rest you can piece together from there.

⊱ Given all of that, she’s never kissed a girl since and, quite frankly, she’s terrified to. Even though she looks at plenty of girls with bountiful affection, Violet knows better than to trust herself. Or anyone else.

⊱ She owns a bible, which allows many people to assume she’s Christian. Really, she’s agnostic given all that’s happened to her. However, she’s kind of earned her branding as the cliché.

⊱ Her little trips to the forest at night are well-kept under the radar. Meaning only her dad and Hilda know. [/list][/hider]

⊱ Position Applying For: DeWinter Heiress
⊱ Nicknames: Vi, V

𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒
⊱ As a short, seemingly flexible girl who wants to be at the top of everything, many of the Cheer girls were surprised when Violet took her placement as a base with zero protest. She got quite a few shocked faces which is exactly why she did it. Okay, not actually. She genuinely believes in a "team" even if she's not always at the top. However, don't get it twisted. She won't let herself be on the bottom for long.
⊱ Her favorite form of love is hugs and cuddles. It's probably because she hasn't been hugged by her father since she was in third grade. Needless to say, Violet has major daddy issues.
⊱ After receiving the dream earrings, Violet pierced her own ears Parent Trap-style. She didn't scream, though (or at least that's what she'll tell you).
⊱ Speaking of sewing, Violet won a 4-H contest for "Best Outfit Made of Unconventional Material" when she was in 4th grade. She didn't stop sewing after that.
⊱ One of her other talents includes her fantastic baking abilities (for some reason, her cookies, cakes, and everything in between are always addictive. Granted, sometimes things go wrong and people end up with horns, but they usually go away once they have their morning constitution).
⊱ Her preferred area to study in is the estate’s gardens, by the statue of assumably Aphrodite. It's gotten so bad that she even has a hammock set up.
⊱ Tea FIEND. If you want to makeup with Violet, get her a fancy tea from Westcliffe. Bonus points if you can guess which type she wants!
⊱ Violet always needs to have something to do with her hands, and she can often be found working on some needlepoint or knitting project in class. Of course, there aren't many close friends that want to give them a plethora of scarves or embroidered flowers, so she usually hands them out to people when she sees they're having a bad day.
⊱ Obsessed with getting into her dream school, Vi actually works really hard in school though she pretends she doesn't. She has daddy's money, of course! Still, she needs to work her ass off to get into Julliard, so it isn't a complete lie.
⊱ Her favorite color is deep forest green, almost black, but she wears a lot of pastels and pinks because they match her complexion and aspired aesthetic better.
⊱ Secretly dreams of having a healthy relationship with at least one person, but she knows it probably won't ever happen all-things-considering. She's just too self-sabotaging and controlling for that to ever happen. At some point, Violet's completely ready to accept her fate as a gorgeous spinster. At least people have always told her she looks fantastic in a little black dress!
⊱ Absolutely hates it when someone calls her crazy or tells her to calm down. It's rare that Violet loses composure, and anyone who ever tries to tell her to not feel her emotions obviously doesn't understand how rarely she lets herself feel upset. At least not obviously. If you're in a fight with her, she doesn't respond well to yelling either. She just wishes arguments could happen in a way that's a little more civilized.
⊱ One of her little quirks is listening to her music through the YouTube app instead of paying for Spotify Premium/Apple Music like any normal person would. She's constantly charging her phone with one of the outlets in the back of the class because her phone battery is always drained.
⊱ Slight to major John Mulaney stan. He's never failed to make her giggle!
⊱ A total dog person. She hasn't met one she doesn't smile at and felt compelled to cuddle.
⊱ Knows how to pick a lock with just a bobby pin due to too many hours spent on YouTube.
⊱ Secretly wishes she could go braless without people noticing/caring or feeling naked. She simply likes the look! Too bad it doesn't fit the aesthetic she crafts so carefully.
⊱ Her love language is handmade gifts. If you receive a surprise present from her, she's probably trying to tell you she loves you {platonic or otherwise}.
⊱ Drinking diet coke like water and hates it when people point it out to her. Especially when they tell her to drink something other than caffeine and sugar.
⊱ Has a hydro flask decorated in calico critter sticker and just all things pink stickers
⊱ Elle Woods is her inspiration and personal hero. A ditzy girl whose perseverance and determination get her to Harvard, where she reveals herself to be independent and fantastic at anything she puts her mind to- what's there not to love? However, Vi's still just as capable of going full Carrie on these bitches. Except slightly less murder-y.
⊱ Digs the opposites-attract narrative in her favorite rom coms that she just swoons over!
⊱ Has a pair of cross earrings her mother gave her after getting her ears pierced the summer she passed. She guards them with her life, even if the gold paint is fading.
⊱ Updates everyone on her life and thoughts on her private snap story. She never got that phase in middle school where everyone was posting pics like Don't at me with a depressed-looking face or needlessly recording herself talking about her day, so she's making up for lost time.
⊱ Loves being the person who’s always caring for everyone else. If she can be in charge and the one people come to for help and reassurance, Violet's 100% into it. Something about being needed gives her purpose.
⊱ Romantically, as with most types of relationships, Vi likes to be in charge- at least to some extent. Perhaps that's why she rarely lets a flirtation last more than a few weeks. She's still in control at that point. Maybe not her biggest fear, per se, but it'd certainly be an adjustment that she'd put off at all costs.
⊱ Despite appealing to the manufactured stereotype of a ditzy, blonde cheerleader, Vi is actually a total feminist, sitting in her room digging the powerful women in her favorite comic books to praising the work of Kathleen Hanna as she blares "Rebel Girl" on repeat. Why should she sacrifice her femininity just to be seen as a badass? Or have to be sexy to get the job done either? Everyone should just be who they naturally are as respected all the same. Not that she still doesn't want to be on top and won't do what's necessary to get there, but her gender really shouldn't fucking matter other than she's a pretty girl.
⊱ Obsessed with pretty comic book/graphic novel/manga girls. Granted, she's not proclaiming her love for Poison Ivy or Envy Adams, but she definitely owns a collection that she hides under her bed. She's super particular about who touches them, even though none of the comics are even remotely expensive and her graphic novels are worn, with the pages ripped at the edges. She's just possessive about them.
⊱ A guy who's not afraid that anything remotely feminine will challenge his precious masculinity and status as a dude? Incredibly hot. And something she's not used to finding.
⊱ Loves to bike everywhere on her yellow mountain bike. Vi usually goes mountain biking with Hilda during the summer, and she finds it hard not to miss. It's usually her best bonding time with Hilda.
⊱ Hyperboles. Hyperboles. Hyperboles. Exaggeration is definitely Vi's strong suit, so beware! If you can even figure out if she's telling the truth (which, she tries to. It's a bit hard), she might also be playing things up.
⊱ Hopes to become a better person, but Vi finds it more difficult than it seems. How does one rework their entire personality and not completely lose themself in the process?
