**Neon Violet** is one of the Neons competing with Neon White in *Neon White*; Her preferred gift is a Tattletail™ Toy.

She has a fairly capricious personality, and keeps up an extremely coy and flirtatious persona. She grew up in the underworld, and thus also shows a dark side to her personality, taking pleasure in gore and killing.

## Role

Like other Neon characters, she is an assassin from Hell recruited to deal with a demon infestation in Heaven during the Ten Days of Judgement.

Neon Violet appears early on in the game and hangs around White, taking on a very flirtatious demeanour, flustering him often. She comes and goes during missions, occasionally returning to spend time with White. Neon Yellow also appears near the beginning in **Chapter 1** and tries to "share" White with her, though she finds this irritating, and prefers to avoid Yellow.

In **Chapter 3**, Violet tells White that Yellow is planning something, and that White should kill him once they make it to The Old City before Yellow kills him first. While Yellow does die in **Chapter 4**, it is at the hands of Neon Green rather than White; when White tells Violet of his death, she shows jubilation, though this infuriates White and he tells her she is the one he should be suspicious of, greatly upsetting Violet. This creates a rift between the two that lasts for several chapters, with intermittent attempts by Violet to kill White, and also Neon Red as she grows increasingly jealous of her spending time with White.

White makes an attempt to reach out during **Chapter 6**; while negotiations break down somewhat between the two and things remain tense, Violet stops trying to kill White, opting to watch him from afar during missions instead.

White, Violet and Red appear to patch things up properly at the start of **Chapter 9**, just before Escalation; White reminds Violet he does not want an enemy in her, and Violet tells White and Red that she knows of their "rebellion against the Believers" in their plan to retrieve the Book of Life. White convinces her to join in - which she does.

The three complete missions together until the end of Fortress, when Violet feigns distress over having trying to kill White and Red earlier; White moves in to comfort her, and when he does, Violet plunges her knife into White near his heart. As White lays bleeding, Violet tells him that is still loyal to Green and still cares only about winning his respect, and with that, she steals the page White has of the Book of Life and runs off to retrieve the full Book to bring back to Green.

Violet is encountered at the end of Holy Ground in **Chapter 10**, where she reveals herself to have been lying in wait outside the Hand of God in the Third Temple for White and Red, and detonates several explosives in an attempt to kill them once more. Red falls through the floor and out of sight, and Violet assumes she has killed Red. Violet tells White she has been unable to open the Hand of God to obtain the Book of Life no matter how many explosives she has tried - and that she had been waiting for him.

Neon Green shows up, and Violet is elated at the opportunity to show him that she has found the Book of Life, though telling her she no longer has any use to him anyway, he runs her through with his sword, mortally wounding her. This angers White, and he clashes with Green once more in The Third Temple.

After the fight is done, a wounded but barely alive Violet reveals to have rigged explosives to destroy the Book of Life if need be, and to stop Green carrying out his plan to destroy Heaven, she destroys the Book, scattering the pages and killing herself in the process.

In the Book of Life ending of the game, it is revealed her name is written into the Book of Life.

## In Life

In life, Violet was part of a small group of assassins led by Green, alongside White, Red and Yellow. She specialised in a good number of various skills useful for the profession, such as lockpicking, though she had a tendency to get carried away with killing during jobs, sometimes leaving the others to clear up after her.

She had no strong attachment to White, Red or Yellow, choosing to keep them at arm's length; she felt infantilised by them, and felt that no matter how much she improved or showed prowess, they would always see her as a child. She grew to hate this, especially being referred to as "kid" by White.

Because of this, she feared that she would outlive her use to Neon Green, and she grew desperate to win his approval. Despite her desire for his approval, Green was extremely harsh on her and even so did not offer praise or positive words, uncaring of her efforts to prove herself; this only made Violet want to prove herself more, going along with him on anything to ingratiate herself. However, Green favoured White over Violet as his student, and Violet grew jealous and resentful of White, believing him to be receiving of things that she herself had been denied.

Eventually, Green planned a heist on the mansion of his former boss, Blue, with the intention of killing his former boss and raiding his vault. Violet saw this as her chance to prove herself to Green once and for all; however, Green left her behind, and Violet died trying to raid Blue's vault, killed when she detonated her own explosives.

## Sidequests

Neon Violet's sidequests can be unlocked by reaching certain levels of Insight in White's relationship with her, either through completing her previously uncompleted sidequests (beyond the first one) or by gifting her Tattletail™ Toys.
