Vi

Violet "Vi" is one of the three protagonists in Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling. She is the second member to join Team Snakemouth. She has a close sister named Jaune.
==Appearance==
Like most bees, her body is primarily yellow with black stripes. Around her neck is a fluffy cream-colored collar and on the end of her abdomen is a black stinger. She also has a pair of translucent wings on her back for limited flight capabilities. What sets her apart from other honeybees is her rather short stature, which often causes others to mistake her for a child.
In the non-canonical Version 0.4.1 April Fools demo, Vi has a radically different design from her normal appearance. She is shown to have a light skin complexion with golden hair and dark gray eyes. She wears a beige sailor fuku with a dark blue skirt and ribbon, with the former having a square pattern. She also wears black bracelets and headband, and cyan beads, creating a downwards pigtail.
== History ==
===Background===
Vi was born in the Hive and raised there, having an attachment/sibling relationship with Jaune. At some point, Vi begins to work in the Honey Factory but very much doesn’t enjoy the job and wishes to instead be an explorer. Vi’s desire to break off from the norm that the society of the Hive had caused her to get a bit alienated by her peers, especially from Jaune. She was often teased a bit by others in the Hive, but Jaune, having a lack of faith, seemed to bother her more than anything.
After hearing Jaune’s doubts, having her own sister tell her that exploring was a dangerous job for other insects, and that she didn’t think Vi could be an explorer, it caused a fight to break out between the siblings where she says "some rather mean things". Vi leaves, but not before telling off several members of the Hive, including her boss in the Factory and even Queen Bianca.
After leaving the hive, Vi spends some time in the Ant Kingdom, and establishes herself within the Underground Tavern, wherein she buys her Beemerang from Shades. Before the events of the game, she gets kicked out of the tavern for a currently unspecified reason, and eventually it leads up to her going to the Explorers’ Association in an attempt to talk someone into letting her explore.
==Personality==
Vi is loud, sarcastic, arrogant and selfish, and is often the comedic relief and/or the butt of jokes. She, however does have some form of heart.
An example of her selfishness (at least at the beginning of the game) is having wanted to enter Snakemouth Den for her own personal gain. She is also shown to be somewhat cowardly, abandoning Kabbu when the Spider ambushes them. She does however care for her friends and is perfectly capable of tolerating them, even when they end up annoying her. She is also very greedy as shown during many quests, where she often asks for a reward after completion.
Unlike most bees, she isn't snobbish and uptight. She dislikes bees who act as such. She is also shown to be a poor actor, as she is shown breaking character without any attempt to improvise as shown in Theater Help Wanted!
==Abilities==
On the field, Vi is able to hit switches, grab items and attack enemies that are far away using her trusty Beemerang and eventually even carry party members while flying to cross large gaps. This makes her arguably the most useful and flexible party member.
In battle, she acts as the party's long-range support. She is able to hit any enemy from any position using her Beemerang, and is also able to generate a minor healing item at the cost of TP. Using her Beemerang, she can knock down flying enemies so that Kabbu and Leif may hit them with their basic attacks.
