ohhh i guess her blood is in fact slightly poisonous then. not enough to be mortal or anything ofc but enough to make you experience a few side effects like staggering or blurred vision or more severe ones like tachycardia based on how much blood you came in contact with. so a few drops are safe (maybe a bit recreational if you want to feel a little tingly and silly for the night) but if you try to drink it (looking at astarion rn) it's going to be one hell of a ride for the next few hours

violante fact of the day that no one asked for: her signature scent is a mixture of iris, heliotrope, juniper berries and belladonna which makes for a quite sophisticated earthy aroma with light notes of smth floral and smth sweet like almond. the belladonna is not easily recognizable in the mix since it's more subtle but it gives a dark edge to the scent, plus if you have an attentive eye it's easy to catch the signs of belladonna poisoning (dilated pupils, sensitivity to light, flushing just to name a few). as result of a nearly daily ingestion she did develop a moderate resistance to basic poisons, plus a kiss from violante feels quite bittersweet and pungent, especially if it's right after she drinks the perfume, and it's not exactly the most enjoyable unless you like the unusual taste. i guess she doesn't have to worry about bad breath problems at least
