Violet

Appearance:
Eye Colour: Green.
Skin Tone: Sepia.
Height: 156cm.

Violet is a touch on the short side. She has a lean build with little shape to her body. She dresses in a practical manner, preferring a t-shirt and shorts over anything else, and ties her hair at the back of her head to keep her long tentacles off the floor.

Violet has a genetic defect where she cannot fully change colour. The majority of her hair stays purple, with only the ends of her tentacles changing to match her ink colour. This occasionally creates issues with Turf War officials and other teams due to being "confusing and misleading".

Personality:
She may be a newcomer to battles, but Violet takes Turf Wars seriously. Her dreams of becoming the the very best is what drives and motivates her; she is willing to risk it all to reach her dream. Though she lacks experience, she makes up for it with a natural sense for the game, and coupled with her dogged determination to succeed, she has the potential to be a truly great player.

She's not the most popular squid at school, seeing as she thinks freshness is a stupid and pointless endeavour, but that suits her fine. Violet is somewhat reserved and comfortable with her own company, but she still likes to socialise too. She'd just rather hang out with a small group of close friends, than a large one of strangers.

She's often written off as a grump due to her the way she frowns all the time; she is completely oblivious to the fact that she has such a serious expression, and is surprised when people ask her what is wrong. That said, she is a rather serious person. She often gets told to lighten up but she is confused by what this means; she doesn't understand general silliness and mucking around and tends to just get irritated by it. She can also be rather haughty, stubbornly insisting that her opinion or thought is always right. This often puts her at odds with her peers, however Violet will apologise if she upsets someone, despite finding it difficult to admit she was wrong.

Violet posses a will of iron and is an aggressive battler. She is always on the front lines pushing the objective, being the sole offensive presence of her squad. She doesn't give up easily, which is sometimes a hindrance since she doesn't know when to quit. She hates losing more than anything, but she will always do her best to be gracious in defeat (with various degrees of success).

Backstory:
Growing up in Calamari, Violet was always fascinated by Turf Wars and would play make believe battles with her friend Chroma. When she was 13 she received her first weapon, that her mum had shipped out specifically for her, and she still uses it to this day (even if it was the wrong model!). Once she was old enough, she applied for a scholarship to study and train in Inkopolis, and was one of the few accepted. She moved to Inkopolis at the start of the school year and boards with Humboldt High.

Strengths:
Violet is the core offence of the team, so she runs the front lines and engages the enemy. She plays aggressively, and admittedly a little recklessly, and focuses on pushing back the enemy and stopping their advances. During ranked matches, she is always the first to reach the objective.

Weaknesses: 
Violet doesn’t always know when to stop advancing and make a tactical retreat. Pushing too far into enemy turf can leave her exposed and stranded, which gives the opponents the chance to make a counter push. She will get tunnel vision when she sees a target, so sometimes her approach is a little single-minded and predictable.

Fun Facts:

  She’s actually a fairly good singer but she’s too shy to sing by herself. Her favourite music is traditional folk music, but she is developing a taste for rock music too.
  She played a very active role in the local shrine’s festivals, and she knows the traditions, stories and customs very well. These traditions are very dear to her, and she visits a shrine often to pay her respects.
  Is most likely to get “great curse” when choosing omikuji.
