Physical Description

Although she is capable of making changes to her appearance at will using her Kitsune shifting abilities, she doesn't often find herself in situations where disguising her identity is particularly useful. As such, she mostly keeps to a recognizable base form, albeit with some minor variations depending on her mood. In general, her body could be described as having a sleek and elegant definition- there aren't too many sharp or harsh edges to be found.

Her Kitsune heritage is obvious, with fluffy fox ears and... some amount of tails. She can have a maximum of four tails out at a time, and can shift to change the number visible at any time. Of course, fewer tails is often less trouble, but four is her "default" and what she feels most comfortable with. She'll usually opt to keep as many of them out as she can without causing problems. Her fur colour is, quite fittingly, a deep violet with some subtle hints of blue. Her hair shares this colouration and she enjoys styling it into many different intricate designs (although she definitely cheats a little by using her shifting to help). One part of her body that is decidedly not Kitsune, however, are the dark claws that grow at the tips of her fingers. When required, she can also perform some minor shifting on these in order shift these into some significantly-less-scary-looking nails. She doesn't really have a particular "style" she sticks to when it comes to clothing (other than preferring clothing that can properly accommodate her tails), but whatever she chooses, you can be certain that she'll keep it neat and tidy.

Personality

Violet is, at her core, a perfectionist. She strives to do the absolute best that she can in most everything she attempts, and takes whatever mistakes she makes very seriously- in most situations (if not all), she is her own harshest critic. It's common for her to obsess over improving at something new whenever it is introduced to her, and she can get into some heated competition with anyone willing to take her up on it. She is absolutely the type of person who will put in the effort to push the limits of what is considered "possible" and has the patience to repeat the same thing an inordinate number of times as long as it means seeing some form of improvement. As a result, she has plenty of confidence in her skills (as she should), but she can't shake the feeling that there was something that she could have done better.

You'll never hear her admit it, but Violet has a deep-seated desire for approval. She feels a constant need to prove her own worth to herself and to others, but it shouldn't come too easily- there's nothing that frustrates her more than feeling like someone is going easy on her in order to spare her feelings. She has a difficult time when it comes to accepting help or even gifts from others when she feels that she hasn't "earned" it, and even if you can persuade her to accept something like that, she'll try to find some way to repay it.

Notes

- Is a total caffeine fanatic. Coffee, tea, soft drinks and energy drinks, even chocolate (especially dark chocolate)... if it's got caffeine, chances are she's a fan of it.
- Her working and living spaces are kept almost obsessively clean and organized. She really doesn't like it when people move her stuff around without her permission.
- Occasionally paints her nails as a form of stress relief- something she did with her dad when she was a kid. She paints them to match the colour of her fur and hair.

Abilities

Retrocognition- Or rather, a specialized version of it. By touching a dead body, Violet can "see" the last few minutes of that person's life. Using this ability leaves her vulnerable while she receives the vision, so she'll typically have backup with her if the situation calls for her to use this. Understandably, using this ability can take a lot out of her- while she's become more or less desensitized to the kinds of things she's seen over the years, it's not the kind of thing that should be used too much over short periods of time.

Telepathy- Fairly strong. She can pick up on surface thoughts easily, but a well-defended mind would pose a significant challenge for her to read.

Enhanced senses- A trait that seems to be linked to her non-Kitsune heritage. They're nothing too crazy, but they'll occasionally help her to pick up on a subtle clue that she might otherwise have missed.

Shape-shifting- A trait common to Kitsune. Using this ability, Violet can change her appearance, which is something that she doesn't typically get too much use out of aside from making some minor adjustments. She can also take the form of a fox, which can useful on occasion for things like getting into smaller places or quickly slipping out of someone's grasp. It also happens to be the form she likes to sleep in. Yes, it's adorable.

Lifespan- Who knows how long? Nobody, that's who.

Relationships

Rose- Violet's adoptive father. He raised her from as early as she can remember and was perhaps a bit too protective of her. It's something that she eventually grew frustrated by and certainly didn't prepare her properly for what would come next. The brutal nature of Candidacy was a massive change from what she had become familiar with from living with Rose. Any sense of entitlement she might have had going in was systematically targeted until none of it remained. In general, Candidacy was really not good for her. While this might not have been entirely Rose's fault, it's something that she ended up unconsciously associating with him. The result of this was a rift in their relationship that would remain until the end of the war, where they started making attempts to patch things up. They're once again on friendly terms now, but it's unlikely that they'll ever be as close as they once were.

Donna- Violet's "aunt". It's not too surprising that Violet visits a lot, considering how close they live to each other and Donna's friendship with Rose. She appreciates Donna's supportive attitude a great deal, but there's a part of her that can't help but feel a little guilty whenever she drops by- almost like she doesn't really deserve the effort and kindness.
