Violet Parr

Violet "Vi" Parr is one of the two tritagonists (alongside her younger brother Dash Parr) of the 2004 Disney/Pixar film and its 2018 sequel, . 
She is the eldest child and the only daughter of Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl. She has two younger brothers, Dash and Jack-Jack. Like her siblings, she has superhuman powers herself which she can turn herself invisible and create protective force fields of varying sizes around herself and/or others. 
She is voiced by . 
==Background==
When Violet is first introduced, she is depicted as gloomy, uncertain, shy, socially withdrawn, and has a few self-esteem issues - preferring to hide behind her long hair, which seems to be reflected in her superpowers; she is able to turn invisible at will and can generate a spherical force field around herself and others. She has a crush on one of her classmates, Tony Rydinger, but she is too shy to approach him and turns herself invisible whenever he looks her way so as to avoid attention.
At home, things are tense, especially between Violet and her little brother, Dash. Bob has forced the family to move quite a few times, having trouble adjusting to superheroes being banned. Because of this, Helen has told the kids to never use their powers unless they are in danger. Along with Violet being at puberty age, this has made her shy and reserved. She is also frequently annoyed with Dash's immature, hyperactive behavior, having fought with him at dinner after he mentioned her crush. 
=== Physical Appearance ===
Violet is a 14-year-old teenage girl with a slender build, small waistline, and long legs. She stands at 160cm (5'3") and weighs 41kg (90lbs). She has a circular head, fair skin, pink lips, rosy cheeks, long, straight, black hair with purple highlights (which covers the right side of her face in the first half of the first film), and bluish-purple eyes. Following the events of the first film, she wears purple and pink headbands to keep her hair back. Her supersuit consists of a red unitard with black bottoms and an "I" insignia on the chest, along with an orange belt, black gloves, thigh-high black heeled boots, and a black eye mask. She also wears an orange headband with her red supersuit.
===Personality===
Violet's personality is literally that of a "shrinking violet". She stutters and is generally shy and withdrawing, down to her understated taste in clothing and shadowy hairstyle. Under extreme stress or uncertainty, her invisibility powers can even trigger subconsciously, causing her head and body to simply disappear.
As the oldest child, Violet often finds herself placed under stress and authority she doesn't want. But she has a curious and experimental nature to her, willing to explore her abilities and her world once she is freed from the family prohibitions about using her superpowers. She also has a sharp and observational sense of humor, and despite a strong sibling rivalry, she is strongly protective of her little brother, Dash.
In Incredibles 2, Violet has embraced her powers and displays a broader range of emotions that is typical of a girl her age: Throwing tantrums, acting awkward and at times being depressive. However, she ultimately develops a sense of maturity by forgiving her father after he apologizes to her. She was also the one who suggested she and her brothers needed to take action after their parents were in grave danger.
===Powers and Abilities===
====Powers====
*Invisibility: Violet has the ability to turn herself invisible. The exact nature of this power is not explained, nor are its limits (such as if it extends beyond the visible light spectrum). Violet's ability is limited in scope, however, and extends only to her own body. Anything she is carrying or wearing does not also become invisible, with the exception of her Incredibles uniform created by designer Edna Mode to coordinate with her powers.
*Ergokinesis: Violet is able to control energy with her hands and use it for different puproses.
**Force-Field Generation: Violet can generate a near-indestructible, purple-tinged force field around herself or other targets, which she has used defensively or, with the right help, offensively. The field does seem to deflect things like bullets; this is proven when the family battles against Syndrome's soldiers. In the sequel, Violet has learned how to use her force-fields for offensive attacks and not just in self-defense.
***Levitation: If Violet is not touching the ground when she creates a full force field bubble, she will levitate within it. Whilst levitating, she automatically moves with her force field bubbles. She can reorient her position within it, or even use her own body to propel it forward. This feature is what gives her force field its primary offensive ability, especially when it’s combined with Dash’s power to create the IncrediBall.
**Projectile Generation: Violet can create projectiles of various shapes and sizes in order to use them against serious threats.
====Abilities====
*Intellect: While not a superhuman trait, Violet has exceptional intellect for her age, showing an inquisitive and adaptable nature about herself, her powers, and the world around her. One notable example of this is when her family, trapped by Syndrome, was seemingly helpless against his electrical gauntlets, but Violet was able to determine how to use her force fields to bypass the electrical fields and escape with relative ease.
*Athleticism: Although it was not exactly seen in the movies, in Disney INFINITY, Violet was seen to be very acrobatic and maneuverable, despite her skinny frame. This was shown in the film's sequel during a brawl with a mind-controlled Voyd, in which Violet was able to keep away from Voyd's portals despite being in close-range. Violet also displayed enough strength to overpower Voyd when grabbed by the arms.
*Hand-to-Hand Combat Skills: In spite of any training, Violet has almost developed great combat abilities, shown where she manages to defeat and win against a mind-controlled Voyd in Incredibles 2.
=== Weaknesses ===
*Blunt Force: While exceedingly sturdy, if very heavy blunt force is applied to Violet's force field, it can be crushed, and she can be hurt badly. The bubble can, to an extent, be moved around her, as shown in the film when the Omnidroid drops down on her shield, causing it to drop around her and crack her on the head, rendering her unconscious.
*Energy Draining: Both her powers can also sap her physical energy if she tries to maintain them under sustained heavy assault (as seen in A Magic Kingdom Adventure).
*Clothes: Violet cannot turn her clothes invisible like herself, so she is forced to wear a super suit that will turn invisible when she does. This limits the usefulness of her invisibility to a great extent unless she wants to run in her suit all the time.
*Corrosive Substances: It was seen that extremely corrosive matter, such as Reflux's lava spew, can melt through Violet's force-fields.
==Appearances==
===The Incredibles===
When Violet is first introduced, she is depicted as gloomy, uncertain, shy, socially withdrawn, and has a few self-esteem issues - preferring to hide behind her long hair, which seemed to be reflected in her superpowers; she is able to turn invisible at will and can generate a spherical force field around herself and others. She has a crush on one of her classmates, Tony Rydinger, but she is too shy to approach him, and she turns herself invisible whenever he looks her way so as to avoid attention.
At home, things are tense, especially between Violet and her little brother, Dash. Because of Bob being in his "not-allowed-to-Super" rut for the past few years, the family has moved around quite a few times. Also, Violet's mother, Helen, has told the kids to never use their powers (unless they are in danger) because the world is not ready to accept them yet. Because of these factors (along with Violet being at puberty age), Violet has become rather shy, and she has few friends. And with Dash dealing with the family issues by constantly teasing Violet, she also has somewhat of a temper on her.
When Bob goes away on a "business trip", things start to greatly improve at the Parr household, with Bob being a better father to his kids (shown by hanging out with Dash, taking care of Jack-Jack, and kissing Violet on the nose).
After two months of the new Bob, Violet and Dash discover Helen getting ready to go out for the night while packing what appear to be Super suits. After the two of them discover the extraordinary properties of the super suits designed for them by Edna Mode (in Violet's case, her suit can turn invisible along with her, rendering her totally unseen, without disrupting her force fields; the force field part is discussed in A Magic Kingdom Adventure), they stow away on their mother's jet (after calling on her friend Kari McKeen to watch Jack-Jack for the night) when she leaves to find their father, who has been doing secret hero work behind his family's back. Shortly after they are discovered by Helen, the plane is attacked by Syndrome's missiles, and Helen orders Violet to put a force field around them for protection.
However, Violet is not sure she can even generate such a large force field; the stress of the situation and her low confidence prevent her from successfully carrying out the order. Helen is forced to use her powers to turn herself into a ball around her children, shielding them just as the missiles destroy the plane. When Violet later apologizes to her mother for failing to live up to expectations, Helen apologizes for putting her under such pressure and reassures her by saying that she has more power than she herself realizes, but also explains that in their situation, doubt is a luxury they can no longer afford.
Violet's confidence bolstered, she practices her power on the fire in the camp, but she and Dash are nearly burnt to a crisp when Syndrome launches a rocket carrying a highly capable battle robot—the Omnidroid v.10—to the City of Metroville; the cave that the two were in is also the exhaust tube for the rocket.
After some time, Syndrome's henchmen discover the children after their curiosity triggers an alarm—subsequently pursuing them across his island base. She attacks one of the men with a large stick, while invisible. Displaying a high level of ingenuity, the aforementioned grunt uses dirt to find Violet once she has submerged herself in a shallow pond. He aims the gun at her, preparing to shoot her, but Dash stops the soldier from killing Violet, who in return saves him from yet another henchman. After dispatching security, she and Dash combine their powers to create the IncrediBall (named in the video game): Violet generates a force-field and Dash runs along its inner surface, propelling the sphere at considerable speeds and mowing down everything in their path.
After Violet and Dash are reunited with their parents, both of whom are briefly flattened by the IncrediBall, another wave of henchmen finds and attacks them. Violet once again displays her increasing confidence, raising a large shield which protects her family from a hail of automatic weapon fire. Though the guards are quickly overpowered, Syndrome captures the entire family. Once imprisoned, it is Violet who manages to free everyone by creating a force field that severs her magnetic bonds. She manages to roll towards a nearby computer terminal where she easily deactivates everyone's restraints.
The family eventually races back to the town with help from Mirage, who turned against Syndrome and helped them. While her parents are sharing some moments together, Violet realizes that the Omnidroid's claw is pointing at their van and crushes it, but Violet and Dash managed to run away in time. When they're running, the robot's claw nearly hits them, separating Violet and Dash from their parents. The Omnidroid attacks again, but this time Violet defends herself and Dash with her shield. The Omnidroid goes mad and punches Violet's shield several times until it drops its body entirely to Violet's shield, crushing it and hitting her straight on her head, knocking her unconscious. She managed to recuperate very quickly although she has been hit by the thing's gigantic metallic body. After Helen tripwires the robot, Violet acquires the remote used by Syndrome to control it. She and Dash childishly fight over the remote until Elastigirl takes it. After a drawn-out fight, the family waits as the Omnidroid approaches. Violet refuses Helen's order to hide and remains by her side when Bob finally pierces the Omnidroid's shell.
Finally, after stopping Syndrome from abducting Jack-Jack (where Violet also saves her family by creating a force field to deflect the falling plane wreckage), the evildoer is apparently dispatched by his own cape, which is caught in a turbine jet engine.
Three months later, Violet is seen wearing a pink shirt and khaki pants, along with a pink headband to keep her hair out of her face, which displays her attractiveness. With her recent change in personality, Violet has made more friends and is courageous enough to talk to Tony (he approaches her and attempts to ask her out, but HE is now the shy one rather than Violet), and they plan to go to the movies on Friday; Violet tells Tony that she will buy the popcorn if he buys the tickets.
Violet is then shown to be ready to battle a new villain, The Underminer, when he arrives to threaten the town.
===Incredibles 2===
At the start of the film, Violet wants to help her parents battle The Underminer, but Helen and Bob insist she, Dash, and Jack-Jack stay behind and remain safe. When Dash runs off to help, Violet tries to stop him with her force fields to no avail. Frustrated at being left to care for Jack-Jack on her own, Violet throws her mask on the ground, inadvertently revealing her identity to Tony, who runs off in disbelief.
Violet eventually catches up with Dash and sees The Underminer's giant drill rampaging through the city. She uses force field projectiles to save citizens from falling debris. With her father's help, Violet enters the drill and protects her family from an explosion caused by Bob and Helen blowing out the engine. Despite their heroic acts, she and her family are arrested by the police and reprimanded by the National Supers Agency for the collateral damage their actions caused.
After Helen receives a job from Winston Deavor at Devtech to campaign the return of Supers, the Parrs are given a new, extravagant home owned by Deavor away from a motel they have stayed at since their previous home's destruction. Violet eagerly waits to attend her date with Tony at the movies, but the latter doesn't show up, causing her to run to her room and rebuff Bob's attempts to console her.
At school, Violet confronts Tony for neglecting their date, but the latter is confused and asks if he knows her. Shocked and abashed, Violet runs away. Back home, she becomes a saddened and agitated wreck. She eventually finds out that Bob had contacted NSA agent Rick Dicker to seek out Tony and wipe his memory of Violet's identity as a Super, incidentally wiping the date he had planned with Violet. Infuriated, Violet openly denounces her life as a Super and attempts to destroy her suit in the kitchen sink's waste trap, which proves futile. Violet, like Bob, is amazed to discover Jack-Jack's powers and she calls Lucius for help when Bob is unable to tame him.
Bob brings Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack to a restaurant that Tony works part-time at. Violet is unaware of this fact and is astonished upon realizing Tony is serving them, spraying the water she was drinking out of her nose and embarrassing herself. Later, an exhausted Bob confesses to Violet that he was trying to be a good dad by fixing her problem with Tony. A sympathetic Violet hugs him, saying he is not "good", but "super". Bob then falls asleep for seventeen hours.
After Helen and Bob are captured by Evelyn Deavor (who plans to undermine Winston's campaign due to her secret hatred for Supers), Evelyn hypnotizes Voyd, Screech, Reflux, Krushauer, He-Lectrix, and Brick and sends them to capture Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack at their home. Lucius intervenes but is captured and hypnotized by Evelyn's goggles as well. The kids escape using their father's vehicle, the Incredimobile, which they also use to board the Deavors' ship to rescue their parents.
As they search for Helen and Bob, Violet faces off with a hypnotized Voyd. Despite a struggle, Violet manages to overpower her foe and escape. Once they've managed to find their parents and Lucius in the ship's cockpit, Jack-Jack is able to free Helen from Evelyn's goggles and Violet is briefly reunited with her mother, who admits that she is proud of her heroism rather than acting concerned. After the goggles are removed from the other hypnotized Supers, Violet works with Dash, Bob, and Lucius to prevent the rampaging ship from crashing into the city while Helen thwarts Evelyn's escape. On the mainland, the Supers are celebrated as heroes and Evelyn is arrested. Violet's heroism is individually praised by Winston, and Violet strikes an applauding conversation with Voyd, who apologizes for attacking her on the ship. Shortly after, Supers are made legal again.
At the end of the film, Violet confidently approaches Tony at school, and they plan another date. Much to Violet's discontent, the couple is driven to the movie theater by the Parrs, who witness two speeding cars engaged in a shoot-out. Violet hurriedly pushes Tony out the car and pleads that he saves her a seat in the theater before the family takes off to stop the threat.
==Trivia==
*Violet's powers and abilities are similar to Invisible Woman from the Marvel Universe.
*Violet is the only Incredible with black hair. Given this detail, she either dyed it, or it is a recessive genetic trait (as opposed to both her younger brothers Dash and Jack-Jack).
*Violet's eyes can sometimes be seen as purple due to certain lightings and the bluish-purple color of her eyes, but her eye color is a mixture between blue and purple making them bluish-purple.
*Violet's own name can be interpreted in several ways:
**She's known for being a shrinking violet, describing her occasional shyness throughout her appearance.
**An ultraviolet (UV) light is very hard to be seen, which befits her power of invisibility.
**Her own ergokinetic powers are primarily (and literally) purple-themed.
