## Biography

### Emerging and Era 1 Ball

Violet emerged for Pink Diamond’s Court as one of the first of numerous gems that were made for the Diamonds to have a head start for their Courts before the Era 1 Ball.  As she emerged she was met with her Diamond, Pink Diamond.

An enthusiastic Pink welcomed her to the world and introduced herself, alongside a Morganite who had emerged as well.   Violet was pretty thrilled by her Diamond’s actions, finding her Diamond to be a friendly figure to her.   Later, Pink guided Violet and Morganite up to Homeworld.  During their stroll to Pink’s Palace,  Violet would be enthralled by the construction of the Gem City.    Later on after arriving at Pink’s Palace and meeting Pink’s Pearl, Pink told Violet and Morganite everything about The Great Diamond Authority while also telling them about their roles.

After being explained their roles in Pink’s Court, Pink told Violet that in four days the Era 1 Ball would take place and tasked her to plan it.   Violet obliged and spend the next three days making arrangements and getting everything sorted out for the ball.    After getting everything planned, she reported back to Pink, who was impressed with the results.

The following night, she alongside Morganite would attend the Era 1 Ball, while meeting the Ruby and Pearl Morganite was assigned to work with.   During the ball, they would stand by each other on the sidelines and watch the ball play out infront of them.   At one point Violet wanted to dance and proposed it to Morganite, but Morganite turned it down, and she said that they did not need to dance as they were important gems.   Disappointed, Violet just continued to watch the Ball play out.

### Receiving a Pearl, Achieving Fame for the Palanquins, and Life in Era 1

A few days after Era 1 began, Violet expressed interest in owning a Pearl because of Morganite’s Pearl, and of course seeing her Diamond’s Pearl.   She tried to tell Morganite to get a her a Pearl for herself with they both were designing something for the Diamonds, but Morganite got upset and told Violet that  she did not need a Pearl as Morganite had her Pearl.   Frustrated, but not getting mad, Violet went back to work.

However one day, she was called to see Pink.  Upon arriving at Pink’s palace, she was met by Pink who told her she heard about Violet wanting a Pearl and so she went to The Reef and got a Pearl.   Pink then showed Violet a shell and opened it, revealing her Pearl.   Amazed by this, Violet thanked Pink countless times for her Pearl who was named Westeria Pearl, and Pink told her, “You'll need someone to help you out during business.”.   Violet would show Westeria to Morganite, who “congratulated” her on being given her Pearl.    After that, Violet began to teach Westeria how to be a party planner, and other jobs.   Westeria managed to learn very quickly which impressed Violet.

Sometime later, Morganite and Violet began work together on designing Palanquins for the Diamonds, which was tasked by their Diamond to do so.   Violet and Morganite worked really hard on the palanquins and it didn’t go unnoticed as word of their hard work spread like wildfire, and after giving the palanquins which were given to Pink and Blue Diamond, leading to their success and fame as the designers of the palanquins, and additionally both them, their Pearls, and Morganite's Ruby, got to stay in two of several of the biggest rooms in the Pink Diamond Living District. However despite all this, Violet and Morganite did not get along with each other, with Morganite not fondly look on Violet's playfulness. Additionally during this time, Violet began developing wardrobes for all of Pink Diamond's Court.

However, Violet and Westeria mostly enjoyed their new life in the bigger room of the Pink Diamond Living District, where they often spending time together and enjoying themselves. Additionally during this time and over the next few thousand years, she would help her Diamond plan parties she would throw after her siblings victories in their colonizations, however it was during these parties, she would at times see her Diamond when she was not at her best, most notably during one where Pink released a bunch of Rainbow Caterpillars in the Diamond Ballroom, culminating in commotion ensuing. Despite this incident, Violet remained loyal to her Diamond and continued to assist her in any way she could.

### Later Era 1 Life and Earth Colonization Begins

One night a few years later, while Violet and Westeria were relaxing in their quarters of the Pink Diamond Living District when a loud scream was heard and one of windows shattered, followed the sounds of gems clamoring, and heard running in the halls of District with a voice yelling that it came from Pink Diamond's Palace. Immediately as nervousness ran in, she ran out of her quarters, and ran with the other Gem in her Diamond's courts, running down the corridors and stairs, rushing to their Diamond's palace to see what had happened. By the time she arrived, she saw too many gems who were looking horrified, sometime later Violet heard from gems that Pink had a horrible meltdown so bad resulting in her screaming and causing damage to her Pearl, with the damage to Pink Pearl was that her face had a massive crack on her left eye, and the eye itself was gone.    After hearing that, Violet felt both shock and sadness, and she was worried about both of them.

Eventually she saw Pink get a new Pearl, and additionally a new gem that was funny and loved by many in Pink Diamond's Court named Spinel. Despite Violet and Westeria loving Spinel, Morganite found her to be out of line and annoying. However later one day two thousand years later, she saw Morganite's Ruby and Pearl form a fusion, which Morganite got furious upon seeing the fusion and had them rejuvenated, with Morganite later told her that this was the eighteenth time her Ruby and Pearl were rejuvenated and told them they would be replaced by a new Ruby and Pearl, and the older two would be shattered. Violet was shocked when the new Ruby and Pearl came. She would later watch in astonishment as Morganite's old Ruby and Pearl fused again and ran away. She later told Westeria about the fusion, and they both wondered what happened to the two gems.

However their wonder was cut short when Pink Diamond informed her court that she would finally be ready to be do some work, that work being the Earth Colonization. Violet was overjoyed at the news and felt amazed that her Diamond would get to do such a job but she couldn't help but feel a little nervous as well. The Earth was such a huge place, and the task of bringing it under the Diamond's rule seemed daunting. She knew that they would need all the help they could get, and she was determined to see the success. She did visit Earth in the early days of its colonization, and the sight of the vast blue planet filled her with awe and wonder. But little did she know that soon, things were going to change.

### The Rebellion and Becoming a Crystal Gem

A thousand years into the colonization, Pink Diamond reported that a group of Rebels led by a Rose Quartz, called the “Crystal Gems” were forming and were threatening The Great Diamond Authority. Violet was disbelief upon hearing the report, which was resulting in a panic on Homeworld and other Gem Colonies across the galaxy. She did not know what to think, and the news filled her with confusion and fear. She found it hard to comprehend. She tried to talk to Morganite on the situation but she refused to listen. She would talk to Westeria on the matter, and she was scared on the situation. She was horrified to hear that the rebellion had snowballed into a full-out war. Violet was filled with conflicting emotions as she heard reports of battles raging across the Earth. The rebellion had made her incredibly concerned to the point where she could barely get any work done, much to the frustration of Morganite, who then told that she had nothing to be concerned with the rebellion and to get back to work.

Over the next several years, Violet became increasingly stressed with the war raging on. However one night, things would change forever for her. It was when that very night, Pink Diamond came into her room and spoke to her. In that talk, she told Violet she heard she was concerned with the Rebellion and asked her if she wanted to come and possibly help with it. Violet turned it down initially, but it would later change into a yes. The following day, after Violet said goodbye to Westeria, Pink would take Violet to Earth and took her to a base and told her someone will meet her before she left. It was then a Pearl, who resembled Pink's new Pearl, would greet her and tell her about the Crystal Gems, how she could help them, and why the Diamonds' colonizing the planet was wrong. Violet was hesitant at first, but the Pearl told her about what they were doing was the right thing to do. Feeling a connection with them, Violet decided to join their cause. After being taken into the base, Violet made friends with fellow Crystal Gems, Crazy Lace Agate, Larimar, and Tangerine Quartz. Shorty after befriending those three and meeting the other Crystal Gems, she would meet the leader of the Crystal Gems, Rose Quartz. After talking to Rose, Rose approved her to be a Crystal Gem.

After becoming a Crystal Gem that day, Violet would receive war fans from the Crystal Gems' Bismuth, and would be trained by several of the other Crystal Gems before they sent out to the battlefield after a few weeks with everyone else, but while she managed to poof a handful of Quartzes, she would be poofed six times, which led to Crazy Lace or Larimar holding her gem for most of the battles she got poofed, and surprisingly each time she reformed, her from were more elegant. She would continue to fight alongside the Crystal Gems for a few more years until Rose shattered Pink Diamond, which struck her deeply. However later in the night after the tragic shattering, Rose came in and revealed herself to be Pink. Shocked, Violet tried to run tell everyone else, but Pink turned back to Rose, stopped her and told her to keep thus secret, and told that things would become very bad if she told them. Violet, feeling betrayed and hurt, agreed. Rose would apologize and vow that she, Violet, and Pearl would never discuss this. Afterwards, she heard from fellow Crystal Gem, Garnet, that the Diamonds would unleash a power to annihilate the Crystal Gems.

Panicked, Violet ran to a warp pad and warped to Jewel Beach and went into hiding as she later heard about The Light being unleashed, leaving her in fear, deviated, saddened, and confused.

### Years of Hiding , Era 3, Return to Earth, Reunions, and Present Day

Over the next five millennia, Violet stayed hidden somewhere in Jewel Beach, and during this time, she continued to train and hone her skills with her fans, hoping that one day she could come out of hiding and if the Crystal Gems were alive.
