## Physical description

### First Mentioned

Chapter 3: Rest One - Numbers

Seven (better known as **Violet**) is a prisoner in Ten's group at the facility.

## Appearance

Violet has dark wavy hair and dark eyes framed by round, thin glasses (often depicted with a violet tint for aesthetics in art). She tends to wear her hair up most time, but may wear it down now and then too. After the addition of Pickle to the group, Violet had asked him to cut her hair short after being fed up of the doctors grabbing it during visits. Though this change was displeasing do her doctor, she didn't regret her decision and has found herself happier with the change.

Like all the prisoners, she dons a colored gown— Violet (dark purple), in this case.

## Story

### Past

When she is first interviewed by Gale, Violet demands to be returned home, only to struggle placing where that is because she doesn't remember. She remarks on remembering "a place" she is familiar with, but there is no elaboration, and she realizes her memory has been wiped. Lucius then approaches Violet to inject her, likely with anesthetic.
Violet has an affinity for liking food and swimming, so perhaps she had some connection to these things, particularly the latter since she already seems adept at it despite denying she's any good. She even remarks upon having dreams of swimming. Violet also has an incredibly high metabolism, able to eat a lot of food without gaining much weight.
### The Facility

Violet is overseen by Micah Galin, who is one of the facility's rougher doctors, among others. Violet had a difficult reaction to the abuse and to realizing her position as a prisoner to the facility, and she had a tendency to drown in her misery and shut others out (with an exception to Cyrus, whom she fell in love with).
By the time Ten emerged in the facility, Violet was already clinging to Cyrus to an unhealthy degree. Ten observes their interactions and tries to push Cyrus to be honest with his feelings towards Violet, so that she can stop drowning in a fruitless, one sided relationship. During the early days of Ten's imprisonment, interactions with Violet tended to be tense, occasionally resulting in arguments with the other Numbers, namely Blue.
In Chapter 41, Cyrus finally admits to her that he couldn't return her feelings in the same way but still liked her as a friend. Violet in turn confesses she knew deep inside that Cyrus didn't feel the same level of affection towards her, but says she'd convinced herself that if she tried hard enough, she could change his mind. After time apart and with the support of the rest of the Numbers, Violet starts working towards forgiving herself for her past attitude and actively work towards improving herself.
## Personality

When Violet initially showed up at the facility, she was already stubborn and withdrawn, refusing everyone's help and remaining miserable alone. Cyrus was someone she grew attached to early on, and perhaps in her mind he was the only one who really understood her when, in reality, she had pushed everyone away. Her attachment turned ugly when she started being intensely jealous of any female prisoners that would arrive after her, reportedly having been nasty to Lav before she turned out to not be a "threat".

When Cyrus isn't in the rec rooms at the same time as Violet, she shows a civil side and sometimes indulges in her interests like swimming and enjoying food. Most of the Numbers have a hard time connecting with Violet at first but realize that she's hurting as much as everyone else.

After Cyrus and Violet's falling out, a shift is seen in Violet's overall attitude. Despite Violet's previous transgressions, the persistence of the group's willingness to forgive and still accept her pushes Violet to want to better herself.

Violet suffers from low self esteem and often compares herself to other Numbers. At one point, she attempted to channel Lav's confident energy by swimming in the pool completely nude - mirroring how Lav would play basketball in the gym naked. While going through her "moods," she would tend to be despondent and act like a dead fish according to her doctor, Micah.

## Sexuality

Violet has only shown an interest towards Cyrus but it can be assumed that she places an emphasis on romance over sex. She hardly seems to enjoy sex and is intensely interested in companionship more than anything. Violet is possibly Asexual, but not Aromantic.

## Relationships

### **Ten**

By the time Ten emerged at the Facility, Violet was already clinging to Cyrus. Ten observes their interactions and tries to push Cyrus to be honest with his feelings towards Violet so that she can stop drowning in a fruitless, one sided relationship. During the early days of Ten's stay, interactions with Violet tended to be tense. Despite Violet's initial bitterness towards the girl, Ten still insisted on being passive and understanding towards Violet, knowing that she was hurting from the abuse at the facility (though any annoyed reflections that Ten had remained in her head). On days when Violet was more civil, she would make casual remarks, divulge on her love of food, and sometimes ask Ten to race in the pool.
Violet notices how Cyrus looks at Ten (comparing the look to the way he used to look at Jade) and saw her as a rival, often getting frustrated whenever Cyrus would extend an invite to hangout with Ten. She tended to become more irritable whenever Cyrus was in the picture.
After Violet and Cyrus' falling out, Ten still tries to be sympathetic and understanding towards Violet's situation. Violet guiltily admits later to Ten that she was secretly glad that Jade disappeared so that she might have Cyrus to herself, all while acknowledging the thought as terrible and wrong.
After they spend some time apart (partially due to Ten receiving her injection), Violet appears to be more civil, but mopey. When Ten comes back from her confinement, Violet is the first to see Ten being carried to her room, showing genuine surprise and telling the Numbers about it when she was able. Violet has shown a more improved side of her and the relationship between Ten and her had been a budding friendship since.
### **Micah Galin**

Micah doesn't have much personal connection/attachment to Violet, but he doesn't like it when his "toys" are despondent or unreactive, something Violet has tended to be when she feels down or miserable. Micah appears to just barely do what is needed to take care of Violet, so she has no personal attachments to him.
Violet has a dislike for her doctor, hating the way she's treated and initially fearing him utterly to a point of having nightmares of him. Later in the story, she seems more biting toward him, but early on, she carried the mentality of letting him and other doctors have their way just so they could finish visits faster.
### **Cyrus**

When Violet first entered the facility, she was stubborn and hard to shake out of her miserable state. Not wanting Violet to fall into the same emotional turmoil that he saw in his previous group, Cyrus stuck by her side and tried to be a shoulder to lean on. However, both because she found him attractive and was grateful that he kept trying to be kind with her, Violet formed an unhealthy attachment to Cyrus to the point of feeling jealousy whenever other (mainly female) Numbers would hang around him, often barking at them to back off.
However, Cyrus slowly becomes negatively affected by Violet's interactions since he didn't feel mutually towards her. All this comes to a heed in Chapter 41, when Cyrus finally admits to her that he couldn't return her feelings in the same way but still liked her as a friend. Violet admits she knew deep inside that Cyrus didn't feel the same level of affection towards her but convinced herself that if she tried hard enough, he would change his mind. For a time they agreed to take time apart from each other.
Violet guiltily admits later to Ten that she was secretly glad that Jade disappeared so that she might have Cyrus to herself, all while acknowledging the thought as terrible and wrong. Despite these negative instances, Violet eventually reveals this to Cyrus and remained open and honest with him. While she feared he'd be upset, he forgives her, knowing that Violet was working on improving herself and pulling herself away from her codependent attachment.
Violet still has a soft spot for Cyrus, and has admitted to Ten that while they may not be able to couple together, she still and will always love him. She now tends to make light of her miserable experience being turned down by the young man, wanting only to move past the ordeal. Moreover, she is also somewhat supportive of Ten and Cyrus in their affection toward each other, but still doesn't want to hear much about it personally.
### **Eight**

Eight and Violet were seen as the most difficult to deal with amongst the Numbers due to their taking out anger and bitterness on others. Often, both Numbers tended to shut others out, with Violet only making exception for Cyrus. This, however, changed slightly with time as Ten and the others pulled both Numbers into more social activities.
During the aftermath of Cyrus' and Violet's falling out, Eight sticks up for Violet when the other Numbers discuss what just happened. Later on, Ten tells Violet that Eight stuck up for her, much to her surprise.
Eight and Violet have formed a budding friendship. Eight initially thought nothing of Violet and considered her weak like the others, but he later shows a soft spot for her as he tends to come to her defense and explain her behavior, something he has stated to understand even though he handles things differently than her. He often includes her in things he does, and works well with her on projects (e.g. building dolls of the past Numbers). Violet, in turn, enjoys spending her time with him and tends to see Eight in a light that others might not because she relates to him.
### **Jade**

Due to her own growing attachment to Cyrus since emerging at the facility, Violet initially felt intense jealously towards Jade due to Cyrus' attachment to her. Violet guiltily admits later to Ten that she was secretly glad that Jade disappeared so that she might have Cyrus to herself, all while acknowledging the thought as terrible and wrong. Despite these negative instances, Violet eventually reveals this to Cyrus and remained open and honest with him. While she feared he'd be upset, he forgives her, knowing that Violet was working on improving herself and pulling herself away from her codependent attachment.
Violet has expressed not really ever having gotten to know Jade personally, as she had kept to herself back then and didn't interact with the girl all that much. She regrets this, but mourns the girl and cherishes her memory later on as a means to make up for all the negative.
### **Blue**

Out of all the Numbers, Blue was the one who actively spoke out against Violet and was aggressively defensive in reaction to Violet's jealous tendencies and overall moods of irritation. Blue would even go as far as to outright tell Violet that no one liked her as a knee-jerk reaction to her behavior. Before Violet's shift in attitude, neither she nor Blue referred to each other by their nicknames, instead using each other's Numbers bitterly.
After Violet's willingness to grow from her transgressions, Blue eventually apologizes to Violet for her words, if while still maintaining her rather blunt attitude. Now, she teases the girl but is overall friendly with her, and while Violet embarrasses easily at some of her words, she has no issues joking back with Blue, or teasing her back. She and Blue also now both use each other's nicknames.
### **Three**

Violet occasionally hangs around Three and is sometimes seen comforting her when Five is unavailable. While Violet is not the type to make a big deal of kindnesses, she wills herself to be present for Three whenever she is struggling.

* **Fashion Aesthetic:** *Violet would change quite a lot but can be see her in grunge-esque clothing, but not so much that it’s her entire personality. She’d probably wear a lot of light alt clothing, definitely in dark colors.*
