despite popular belief, violet was a product of pure, unadulterated love. fleeting and heartbreaking love, but love nonetheless. violet's parents spent three whole months filled with all the love, dedication and devotion upon meeting before learning they would be parents. although the news were unexpected, they were both happy and decided to start a family together in new york. the only problem? patrick's entire life was in georgia, so he had to travel south for a couple of weeks, get things settled and come back to start his life-long dream. a week passed with no response from patrick, two weeks and later a month, grace growing more and more desperate as each hour passed with no news of the man who had promised to come back and start a family with her. grace when her sixth month of pregnancy arrived, grace was convinced patrick had backed down, that he had realized he didn't want a family and it was only her and violet against the world. unbeknownst to her, a heartbroken haas family was trying to recover from the death of patrick, who had been killed upon his arrival to georgia in a car accident.

it was a rainy night, the night violet gave her first breath of fresh air. an intense procedure involving some health complications on grace's behalf that, after a five hour long battle, made grace breathe her very last breath of air, exactly 3 minutes after violet was born. everything was so sudden, so shocking that the medics and nurses were appalled by the circumstances. cindy, the nurse who had aid grace before and during the birth however, was gracious enough to care for violet like she was her own and gave her the biggest gift the newborn could ever receive: an identity. she had previously discussed names with grace, who had mentioned wanting her daughter to carry the name of violet and thus, she was named after her mother, per her last wish.

violet spent her very first years going from the system to a new foster home and back, never quite finding a place to call her own. she made herself fit, shaped herself to be the perfect image of a child a family could want, something to love. it was innate, the kindness and loving nature in her was a birth right given by both grace and patrick and yet she tried, hard, to be wanted, to be of service to every family who took her in, only for them to turn her back in when she was not needed anymore. at age six, the atkins family appeared. once again, she bent herself over to be the best version of herself she could be, to be cordial and of service, to be entertaining and grateful and for a while, it worked. the atkins seemed like decent people; foster parents who had around six children at a time in their home and seemed to care for each of them and, for the first time in her life, violet felt like she belonged. the matriarch happened to be a plastic artist and nursed the love for the arts in violet who very graciously accepted every bit of it. she started painting, drawing and sculpting with the aid of the matriarch who would proudly take her job and sell it amongst their friends, claiming it was her own.

about two years after first arriving to the atkins household, the cracks began to show. they were volatile and their finances were starting to suffer. back then, violet didn't understand much but it became painfully obvious when a new child arrived to the home, a younger orphan with sad eyes violet immediately grew protective of. the two together began a journey that lasted a few years in the atkins household with less than formidable conditions, yet they endured it, knowing if they somehow made it out of the household there was a chance they would be separated.

four months after violet's thirteenth birthday party, a fire started in the atkins household. everything was so urgent, the family only managed to save some of the stuff they owned. it was a long night between fire flames and the e.r due to the inhalation of carbon dioxide but the minute violet had the strength to stand on her very own to feet and speak, she did. she told a nurse the whole thing had been planned, her foster parents had orchestrated the plan in order to get the insurance money for the house. violet gave her testimony about the arson and every other crime the two had committed during her time living under their roof with one condition: the minute the kids were sent to the system she and the youngest of the kids the atkins had fostered were to remain together. and so they did, for the next year or so, the two remained in the system, waiting for a family that would accept them together, as the family they now were.

and then, a glimpse of light. violet, being so close to turning eighteen both dreamed of and dreaded the day, knowing she'd be able to walk away from the system she had grown from but also knowing there was someone waiting for her, someone she still needed to prepare for the years ahead once she wasn't around to take care of them. families were looking for younger kids, babies and toddlers that could easily settle into their family lives so there was no way they would get picked, she began to grow cynic about the whole process until the day the family that would save her life appeared. they were well-off, gentle in nature and looking for older kids to bring into their family of four. they had 2 children already, but still felt like their family wasn't complete. the moment they met violet, they became infatuated and asked her if she'd accept to get adopted, finally a family to call her own and yet she declined, offering them a better deal: they could take her younger sibling instead and she'd be in debt to them, for as long as she'd lived. when the papers finalised, it was revealed that the family had not only adopted her younger sibling but violet as well, both now had a place to call their own that they would finally be at peace. the family asked violet if she'd wish to carry the family's name or maintain her own and violet opted for the later, wishing to carry her mother and her dynasty with her.

living with her new family, violet began learning stuff about herself, finally giving herself chance to explore facets of her she'd never imagine until she was free to do the imagining. her love for the plastic arts prevailed but another one bloomed; her love for acting. her adoptive parents were supporting and encouraging, nurturing her love for every art she could think of. she began taking ballet classes, voice lessons and even piano lessons, inevitably earning a spot in ithaca college in the theatre department. about half a year upon graduation, violet landed her first role: natalie goodman in a national tour of next to normal and she traveled for a few months around connecticut, massachusetts, new hampshire and maine and did some community theatre in the area for a few years, drinking up every piece of knowledge on the craft she could get from her fellow performers.

upon her return a few months before her twenty-first birthday, the actress searched for more roles, something new york bound that would keep her close to her loved ones and the place she called home until she was presented with the opportunity of a lifetime: the revival of rodgers & hammerstein's cinderella on broadway. after much consideration, she auditioned for the role and got the part, surprising even herself. her debut was well received by the public and even the critics. she led the show for almost two years until she felt it was the time for her to spread her wings and go into a new nest, crawl into a new skin to call home.

the opportunity to originate a role came on 2014 when she was offered the role of eurydice for an upcoming musical called hadestown. violet poured her being into the role for seven years, from workshop to opening night to making it one of the best selling tickets the season it premiered and beyond, until 2022 where she decided it was once again, time to seek a new adventure.

recently, she was offered the role of sally bowles in the newest revival of cabaret, starting december 13th.

whenever she’s stressed or just… inspiration strikes , she calls this person to either use them as a model or a human canvass . she has every line of their body engraved on her memory and she still finds them as every bit fascinating as that first day she met them and couldn’t stop thinking about them ; could spend hours painting them or on them .

goodbye my lover ( any gender / rom )

sweet violet is a hopeless romantic . believes - in - soulmates - ( platonic or otherwise ) -and - love - at - first - sight kind of romantic . however , developing a relationship with her is harder than she may lead to believe . growing up , she had the responsibility of carrying for herself and her younger sibling ; most of her energy was focused on that and once she was grown up , her aim to become something she and her family could be proud of monopolized her entire existence . however , and against all odds , she fell . she fell hard and deep ( perhaps more than once ) . as life goes , things ended up not working out and violet was left with a heart broken and a tad of issues when it comes to making a compromise ; realizing how much it hurt to truly open up and giving yourself over to someone who could as well walk away one day .

mutual / one-side crushes ( any gender / rom )

ah , crushes . the chasing , the yearning , the blushing and the flirting ; all stages of a crush , something violet hasn’t managed to completely understand even as an adult . even though the artist is not good at handling relationships ( fear of commitment , family issues , you name it and it’s on the list of reasons why relationships never quite work for her ) , crushes are the one thing she allows herself to have . a little flirting , some fooling around with no feelings involved can’t hurt anybody , right ?

'ladies who lunch' gc ( any gender / plat )

a group with two activities in common : drinking and lunching . over the years , violet has learn to let go and enjoy the moment instead of worrying about the future and the past , this group of people have definitely helped with that . whenever she needs a distraction from reality , they are the people she runs to .
