    Description:

    Violet Motacilla is a young lady of shorter-than-average height and a petite frame. She has light blue eyes and black hair. She has a pear-shaped body, with most of her body fat going to her legs, hips, buttocks, and arms. She weighs 114lbs or 51kg. She was underweight, but gained enough to be within a healthy range. Her figure is soft, but one would be able to tell she stays active by the lack of flab and vague muscle definition. The size of her hands and feet are noticeably small. She has two large front teeth and incredibly sharp canines--she whittled them down with a file when she was bored one day, much to the chagrin of her dentist. As a result, she experiences occasional sensitivity on her canines due to destroying her enamel. Her skin is ghastly pale and very well kept, with minimal blemishes due to her religious skincare routine. She has a few strange indents on her lower back and bum, and also has a half-inch indented scar on the right side of her ribcage that's square in shape. On her left and right ears are two and one (respectively) tiny scars where failed ear piercing attempts happened. There is a mole on the left side of her neck. Violet bears no tattoos, as she believes they're unbecoming of her.

    Violet is a stern, taciturn young lady with a fierce, black-and-white sense of right and wrong. She is an extremely hard worker who will not hesitate to get deep into the mud, figuratively and literally. When it comes to organized crime, she runs a tight ship, and won't dare let you forget it. Nothing gets her angrier faster than someone who drags their feet--she sees it as laziness, and has no patience for "unkempt" behavior.

    Despite this, Violet is typically quite polite to most people (as long as they aren't a cop). She believes respect is earned, but the starting point with anyone new should be a basic level of respect, no matter who they are. She frequently refers to people as "sir" and "ma'am", and shows overwhelming gratitude and thankfulness to those who have helped her. She never forgets her manners around those she respects, sits up straight, and is careful to wine and dine with poise and elegance. In addition, Violet is very unlikely to outwardly disagree or argue with someone she views as having authority over her; if the boss of her crew tells her to do something, she will do it without question, only ever speaking up if she feels it is extremely urgent. It goes without saying that Violet is quite the "yes man"; an ideal foot soldier for almost anyone who needs something done.

    When it comes to her ethics, she has a strict moral code that she abides by without lenience. She believes in the concept of order in society, but finds the ways the Government manhandles its people to be abhorrent. Despite being capable of killing someone without any remorse, Violet holds a unique stance that someone who is in a position of power should never act corrupt or undignified--these behaviors must only be presented by those who do not have authority over the people at large. For this reason, she has a vitriolic hatred of the police, the Government, and the system at large. Violet believes they have little to no honor left, and therefore are not worthy of anything but a bullet to their skulls. Nonetheless, she believes strongly in the concept of order and justice, and commits crime with the understanding that her actions are immoral. She seldom feels any remorse about it, but doesn't plan on acting under the table forever; crime is simply a means to an end for her, a way to achieve her goals the fastest way possible.

    However, Violet is far without her flaws. She has severe C-PTSD that controls much of her everyday behavior, including her perceived positive qualities. When it comes to her less desirable qualities, the influence is obvious: She will go from 0 to 100 in no time flat and is quick to paint someone as evil if she feels like they have wronged her in any capacity. She has a fiery temper that only recently has started to cool off, and of course, she commits violent crime on the regular with little to no remorse. She's capable of feeling empathy, especially when it comes to children and animals, but reserves most of that for those two categories and little for anyone suffering at the hands of her actions. She'll jump through mental hoops to justify her behavior (so she doesn't have to face the emotional consequences of her choices) and refuse to admit wrongdoing to anyone who she perceives as the enemy; she'll only admit to being wrong to an authority figure she respects. She understands that her actions are evil, but undertakes them anyway, believing herself to be inherently incapable of redemption and therefore needing a means to her unexpectedly noble end--having enough money to run an orphanage, a sanctuary for all the unloved and unwanted children of the world.

    Violet is also quite blunt at times and will say things that even she doesn't realize is hurtful. Never ask her if you look fat in a dress, because she will tell you you look extremely fat and overweight, and should probably get on a treadmill. She doesn't hold malice when she says this; on the contrary, she thinks honesty is the most respectful thing someone can practice.

    Violet also has absolutely zero sense of humor. She barely even knows what a joke is. Sarcasm? Never heard of her. She sounds like she's fat though, and should probably go to the gym more often.

    Violet Motacilla, born Roxanne "Roxie" Mangiarotti, was born in an upscale beachside condo in southern Italy on the early morning of October 14th, 2002. She spent her first 5 years primarily living in various vacation homes in Italy and Romania, all owned by her billionaire investor and 'Ndrangheta affiliated father, Angelo. When she wasn't lounging about near the Tyrrhenian or Adriatic Sea, she was being forced into making nice with her extended maternal family in eastern Russia. Her father would often be away for weeks or even several months at a time, leaving her to be raised primarily by her mother (Nina) and grandmother (Yelena). In addition, she also grew up alongside her two older siblings, Emil and Giuliana--Giuliana being her half-sister from Angelo's previous marriage. Her home life during this time was a mixed bag; her mother and grandmother had more than just a few screws loose, and her father was either chronically absent or higher than a kite, but she was able to receive a quality of day-to-day life others could only dream of having. Even as a toddler, her and her two siblings were put through rigorous self-care routines and regularly dawned outfits costing in the tens of thousands. Needless to say, she grew up with a diamond-crusted spoon full of caviar in her mouth.

    That is, of course, until her parents split up.

    Her mother had found her father's infidelity and absence too much to bear. Years of substance abuse and having at least 5 other children (that she knew of) with 5 other women had wore Nina down. Angelo had spent more time trying to keep what was actually 13 other baby mommas happy than his actual wife. So, she silently left with 4.5 million dollars worth of fine jewelry, drugs, and clothes, and took her mother and her children with her to lands far away. It took 3 weeks for Angelo to notice his family gone, and another 2 weeks to care.

    Violet spent the next four years under the oppressive thumb of her controlling and abusive mother and extended family, who had decided that Violet was their favorite child, and therefore must look and act perfect to keep up appearances. (!!!) She would regularly be beaten and screamed at upon doing something seemingly incorrect, and spent most of her time in her own imagination to keep away from the horrors of everyday life. There was some aspect of comfort she found through sewing, which one of her elderly neighbors had taught her. During this time, Violet was enrolled into school for the first two years, but was taken out one day by her mother and never re-enrolled. She wouldn't realize why until years later.

    One day, her mother rounded her and her two siblings up into her grandmother's car. Her mother was over-the-moon ecstatic--a very unusual mood for Nina to be in. She croaked about how they were going to go on a great vacation to America and visit all sorts of landmarks. Violet was extremely excited, but her older sister, Giuliana, looked nervous. After many hours on the road, the three siblings were ushered into a driveway of someone's house. A man met Nina outside, talked to her briefly, and then ordered them to get into a box truck.

    The door slammed shut. Key into lock. It was then that Violet realized: This wasn't a vacation at all.
