In undeath, her gaze bleeds crimson—shifting between dark wine and vivid scarlet, echoing hunger, emotion, and restraint.[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Hair:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Long and heavy with natural volume, often curled or left to fall in soft, untamed waves. It spills just above her hips like a veil of night.[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Color:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Black as the midnight sky, threaded with faint blue reflections—like moonlight caught in darkness.[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Skin:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Death-pale, almost sickly, as though warmth abandoned it long ago.[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Facial Detail:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Her skin bears little mark of imperfection, smooth and unnervingly still.[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Distinguishing Marks:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]A long-healed scar beginning at her throat and trailing down her chest—an echo of childhood violence. A fresher wound, still tinged pink, carved beneath her hairline and dragged across her left eye—a final signature left by her murder.[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Attire:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Violet favors tightly laced corsets that sculpt her waist and hold her posture with disciplined precision.[/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Her dresses lean toward modest silhouettes, chosen less for virtue and more for vulnerability. Black lace dominates her wardrobe, pierced occasionally by muted color when courage allows. Many garments are embroidered with ravens—her chosen heralds of death, memory, and silent watchfulness.[/i][/color][/hider] [center][img]https://i.ibb.co/Tx4Rrwhb/b57fcdb4-bcde-49a9-8bfa-e4709642f8c8.png[/img][/center][indent][COLOR=firebrick][sub][sup][h3][b][COLOR=Black] P S Y C H O L O G Y:[/COLOR] P S Y C H O L O G Y:[/b][/h3][/sup][/sub][/COLOR][/indent][hr] [hider=Psychology] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Likes:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i] ☾ Quiet nights and the stillness before dawn. ☾ Ravens ☾ Singing, though she doesn’t sing much anymore ☾ Blood and hunting ☾ Reading and Writing ☾ Strolls at night ☾ Painting ☾ Watching the moon[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Dislikes:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]☾ Loud, chaotic crowds. ☾ Being reminded of her mortality or vulnerability. ☾ Her scars[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Fears:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]☾ Her curse ☾ Lonliness ☾ Being alone ☾ Disappointing people[ ☾ Not being able to have children ☾ Loosing herself to the curse [/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Sexuality:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]☾ Hetrosexual[/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]☾ Prefers subtle, intimate connections; drawn to those who understand her darkness[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Life Goals / Dreams:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]☾ Before her death, marriage and kids were her dream. ☾ Find herself in her new life. ☾ Discover the truth of her past and embrace her identity in undeath. ☾ Being her own woman ☾ Find her purpose ☾ Fall in love and be loved in return [/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Personality Summary:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Calm, measured, and observant, Violet exudes quiet authority. She is slow to trust but fiercely loyal once she does, to her own fault. Though she masks her hunger and emotion behind composure, her presence carries subtle menace, elegance, and intelligence like a predator patiently waiting in the shadows. She is emotional and caring but naive to the world and its manipulations. She struggles to compose her hunger and darkness, sometimes breaking herself into a darker version of Scarlet.[/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Violet returned changed: broken, haunted, and constantly aware of her body as a trap. She explicitly frames her survival as punishment: she had died and come back wrong, her memories fragmented, her body altered. Forever doomed. She sees herself as a monster, though a part of her holds hope she sees it as naive and childlike. She is a monster.[/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]This created Scarlett, her survival-self: hard, strategic, and predatory, born from trauma. Scarlett speaks as protector and usurper, calling Violet gullible, romantic, and overlooked, often attempting to take control for her own survival. Violet constantly battles Scarlett, especially in her interactions with Alexander, trying to maintain her morality and humanity despite the hunger and violent instincts threatening to define her.[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Early Life[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Violet was born into the influential Damien family, the eldest daughter of Calbert and Liliane Damien. From birth, she lived in an atmosphere of love carefully interwoven with control. Her parents were devoted but overprotective, particularly attentive to her safety and often at the cost of personal freedom. Social outings were monitored, suitors evaluated, and every minor injury or accident became a lesson in vigilance.[/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]At a young age, Violet received a deep, claw-like scar across her chest, framed publicly as an “animal attack.” The truth was far darker: a man had sought revenge against her father, Calbert, attempting to harm Crystal, but Violet became the replacement target. The attack left her physically marked and emotionally burdened. From then on, she developed a deep insecurity about her body, hiding herself beneath layers of fabric, veils, shadow, and gowns.[/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]This scar created a duality in Violet’s personality: publicly, she presented herself as polite, quiet, and flawless. She was, by all accounts, the perfect lady; privately, she craved authenticity and connection but found herself trapped between social expectation and her own will. Her mind is mixing with reality, truths, and lies.[/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Her younger brother, Cassius, was away for much of her early life, but his presence later became uncomfortable. Protective by nature, Violet’s attachment to him grew quietly. Cassius’s return coincided with her post-attack chaos, and she often found herself alternately protective of herself from him and frustrated by his efforts to shield her. His unwavering loyalty became both a silent comfort and pressure, reinforcing her desire to carve her own path yet struggling with Cassius’s conflicting opinion.[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Core Relationships[/i][/color][/b] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Calbert Damien (Father):[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Calbert’s love is controlling and possessive. His devotion manifests as surveillance, strategic planning, and management of both family and social optics. He treats crises like war logistics, pushing everyone around him as tools in a system to protect Violet. After her post-attack return, his behavior intensified, enforcing a rigid, fortress-like containment for her “safety.” She sees him as another game master, and Violet is simply a piece on his board. She holds resentment toward both him and her mother for their decisions about her life and for cursing her to be this monster. [/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Liliane Damien (Mother):[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Liliane’s love is expressed through containment and repair. Post-attack, she treats Violet’s room and life as a curated space, carefully managing triggers while offering solutions that are protective but limit agency. Liliane is willing to outsource control with the Black Rose and Alexander to stabilize Violet, though often unintentionally tightening the cage around her. Violet holds much resentment but masks it in an attempt to loosen the bars of her cage.[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Crystal Damien (Sister):[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Shy and skittish, Crystal becomes a focal point for Violet’s protectiveness. Violet secretly carries Crystal’s writings and often shields her from court manipulation. Post-attack, Crystal is leveraged as a reason for secrecy and increased control, though Violet quietly resents being used as a tool in her sister’s “protection.”[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Cassius Damien (Brother):[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Cassius is a stabilizing force and a source of familial loyalty. Violet oscillates between protecting him and resenting the constraints his presence brings. Post-attack, his return amplifies her struggle between dependency and autonomy as he becomes her shadow in both protection and the inevitable restrictions imposed by the Damien household. He often shares a voice of reason for the dark thoughts that spiral for Violet. She continues to hold resentment towards Cassius but not at his own fault.[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Roman Ravenwood (First Love / Past):[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Roman represents Violet’s past: the trust, steadiness, and acceptance she craved pre-attack. He treats her scars and trauma with dignity, never flinching, and becomes her anchor to humanity. Roman’s love is steady, grounding, and tied to the world she lost—her innocence, her prior identity. Yet he, too, holds his own monsters, keeping her at a distance. He holds a place in her heart, but she struggles to trust his motivations after the banquette. He separated himself to save her from being used as a pawn in his own trauma, yet she feels abandoned and used by him.[/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Alexander (Romantic interest):[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Alexander embodies the future Violet fears and desires. He is coercive and controlling, but he also presents a vision of power, survival, and intimacy unlike anything she experienced with Roman. Alexander blurs love, mentorship, and survival, forcing Violet to confront the paradox of desire: she fears him yet craves him and the certainty and meaning he provides.[/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Her romantic interest with Alexander is a dark mirror of her trauma: she “chooses” him within the cage he has built. Where Roman evokes nostalgia and emotional grounding, Alexander excites the parts of her that are capable, dangerous, and untamed, a future she may never fully control. The struggle between them frames much of Violet’s inner conflict. The draw to him is strong; she will become defensive in his protection and image when others attempt to convince her of his character. She has developed a protective nature in their relationship. [/i][/color] [b][color=firebrick][i]☾ Summary:[/i][/color][/b] [color=#9e9e9e][i]Violet is a complex figure caught between trauma, love, and survival. Her scar is a symbol of betrayal and yet her own resilience. Her family is protective yet controlling; her love life is a battleground between her past and her future. The push and pull between Roman and Alexander defines much of her emotional state. Roman represents the stability and acceptance of the self she used to be, while Alexander represents the fierce, dangerous, and uncompromising self she is becoming. She continues to struggle with her journey; the push and pull of the influences she surrounds herself with continues to confuse and cast doubt around her identity.[/i][/color] [/hider] [center][img]https://i.ibb.co/Tx4Rrwhb/b57fcdb4-bcde-49a9-8bfa-e4709642f8c8.png[/img][/center] [indent][COLOR=firebrick][sub][sup][h3][b][COLOR=Black] Q U E S T I O N N A I R E[/COLOR] Q U E S T I O N N A I R E[/b][/h3][/sup][/sub][/COLOR][/indent][hr] [hider=Questionnaire] [b][color=firebrick][i][u][b]☾History☾[/b][/u][/i][/color][/b] [color=firebrick][i][b]☾ Did you grow up nurtured or neglected?:☾[/b][/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]I grew up in a very nurturing home, but as time went on, the nurture turned into fear and overprotection. My home became my cage.[/i][/color] [color=firebrick][i][b]☾ When you were upset, where was your sanctuary?:☾[/b][/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]My sanctuary has always been my room. Being confined to my home, I made this place my safe space. I often spent hours on my balcony overlooking the gardens at night, watching the stars and lost in my thoughts and dreams. [/i][/color] [color=firebrick][i][b]☾ What were you like in your teenage years?:☾[/b][/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]My teenage years were often spent reading in the family room or my own room. Crystal was often sick and required much attention, so I stayed close in case she needed something. [/i][/color] [color=firebrick][i][b]☾ How close are you to your parents?:☾[/b][/i][/color] [color=#9e9e9e][i]I keep them at a distance.
