History

Violet was born in Butzbach, Germany, on May 1st, 2013. Her full name is technically Violetta, but everyone in her life calls her Violet or Via. She has 3 much older brothers. Her mother, a high school (Oberschule) teacher, died due to complications during childbirth. Her family moved to Liverpool when she was 4 because her father got offered a job as a lead surgeon at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. In Liverpool, she started school and learned English as a second language fairly quickly, still speaking mostly German at home. Violet is incredibly intelligent and good in school, especially when it comes to science and maths, but is ahead of her class in writing too. She also started taking ballet lessons in England, and after about 2 weeks she decided she would never stop dancing again. Most of her closest friends are from dance class, although she has some looser friends at school too. She has a decent relationship with her father, although with the amount of time he spends working and her brothers spend out of the house, she often feels left out and alone in her family. Being raised in a house with only her older brothers and a full-time working dad, she had to learn how to do a lot of things herself (as to not risk having her dad try to do her hair with a vacuum again). Violet also has an intense need to constantly prove herself even though most people in her life don't really care, and is willing to go as far as lying about her past experiences to seem more like she knows what's going on. This is especially true when it comes to areas where she feels insecure about her lack of knowledge or experience, coming from the fact that the other kids in her family seemed to be so far ahead of her in every possible way. Violet's first instance of magic happened when she was 9. Her dad had just told her to go and clean her room, and she was so annoyed that as she was throwing clothes across her room into the hamper, harder and harder each time, the clothes on the floor started to move themselves and collect in the hamper.
