* POWER !

violet adley was born in england in 1470. she was raised in an upper class family that had everything going for them. they were close to the monarchy at the time and so had anything they wanted. she was raised to be the perfect daughter, a prime example of femininity and all things lovely. she fell into this quite easily with her good looks and pleasant persona, however, it wasn’t really what she wanted.

violet was married off to a duke and she, in turn, became a duchess. she had a child ( emelia ) with her husband but there was no love in their marriage. she knew at the time that she was lucky to have material wealth and such high class but she didn’t want her daughter to grow up to live the same life that she was enduring. it all felt false and violet couldn’t help but detest it.

she crossed paths with a vampire named lena who had a similar background to her and out of solidarity, turned violet. she minded her daughter for the three days that violet was transitioning and upon awakening, the three of them fled and made a little life for themselves. however, it wasn’t to be, as lena was killed alongside emelia by her past enemies. violet managed to escape but was scarred for the rest of her life to come.

losing her daughter traumatized her to no end and she spend the next few centuries in a frenzied existence. she joined the volturi for a while and then left. she was aggressive and distant. violet was terrified to get close to anyone because of what she’d lost — the pain couldn’t be repeated.

violet now struggles a lot with how the past few centuries have been for her. she’s run into trouble here and there, gotten into a lot of things, but for the most part just settled into a nomadic life. she holds no attachments, mostly out of fear. everything she has with other people can never last.
