- General knowledge

Card Deck:
- Her Digi-Battle TCG circuit deck consists of cards revolving around the twin digimon Victorygreymon and Zeed Garururmon, with a strategy of shooting for a fast victory while preparing for a drawn out battle if her initial onslaught fails. This earned her the nickname of "Gemini" among her local TCG players, who quickly shortened it to simply "Gem," which later on inspired her online username.
- In contrast, her Digimon CCG circuit deck is built around using several Demon Lord and Royal Knight digimon, with support mostly consisting of debuffs for her opponents and digivolving as fast as possible to have an overwhelming and lightning-fast offense.
- However, the deck she uses for D-scanner battles is built around the idea of "no surprises," and has cards that hold no general theme as a result but allow for her to react to nearly any strategy temporarily. Despite the lack of cohesion, this approach combined with her perfect memory has allowed her to keep a loss ratio of under 3%, though her win ratio is in large part made up of connection failures from annoying her opponents into quitting.
Personality:
Due to her love of digimon and her respect for the accomplishments it's made, she dreams of one day working for D-Connect. While she'd prefer to do so in an official capacity, she'd be equally content working with them freelance. She considers her current work as a stepping stone toward that goal.
While she knows it isn't the case, and has been able to replicate the code from scratch in several languages, she pretends that her personal D-Scanner (and her previous generation V-pets) holds an actual living digimon in it and cares for it deeply. Even the replica digimon she makes she can't bring herself to do much experimenting on, as if she were confronted with the prospect of dissecting her own pet hamster.
Background:
Born to a father who works for a large electronics company and a college-professor mother, Violet has never wanted for anything. Being home-schooled by her high-expectation mother, she spent her days sleeping and finding entertainment in cartoons and anime while her nights were spent cramming an entire public school education in semester sized chunks at a time. Having a nearly perfect memory made the process quick and relatively painless, leading her to develop a detached personality, as if life were just something to do for the sake of doing. Her father got her interested in anime at a young age, and digimon quickly became one of her regular interests.
Coming from a family with money, she was able to experience nearly everything digimon as soon as it came out, and went so far as to teach herself several languages just to be able to enjoy the more obscure (often fan-made) material and the original versions of the shows and manga. It was this fascination with digimon that first sparked her desire to learn programming. Her dream of making real digimon became so all-encompassing that she began ignoring her studies entirely despite her mother's insistence.
At age 12, her mother made her a deal that she couldn't help but accept; if she could finish the rest of the schooling that her mother wanted from her in one year, her mother would use her position as a college professor to request an early taking of a GED test, allowing Violet to spend the entirety of her teenage years doing whatever she wanted. And so she consumed everything that she came across, getting not only the equivalent of a high school education, but quite a bit of a college education as well. The day after her thirteenth birthday, she completed the testing for a GED with a perfect score in four of the five categories. (Ironically, it was mathematics that wasn't up to snuff.) She's spent the months since then working under the alias "Metapsychical" as a "white hat hacker," working with companies to find weaknesses in their security for a fee in the hopes that she'll somehow find the inspiration and knowledge she needs to finally create an AI that could be considered truly "alive." All the while she's been alternating between very active and completely off the radar in the card game circuits and the D-Scanner game circuit, usually with an inverse relationship to her inspiration for her attempts at making digital life.
