Character Name: Violet (Vi)
Character Canon: Arcane (League of Legends)
Canon Point: post season one
Age: 20ish
Crime: accomplice to murder
Background: here
Personality: When you first meet Vi, you see a cocky, confident and incredibly sarcastic woman with absolutely no respect for authority. It stems from the fact that she grew up on the streets of the undercity, and her parents being killed by Piltover soldiers. She'd then been raised by Vander to be confident and a leader to the small group of kids that were their "family" -- Powder, Mylo, and Clagger. She kind of takes it too far though, since she has a constant need to prove herself.
Seeing so much trauma growing up has forced her to be closed off to what other people would believe to be trauma. When Jayce killed the child in their bust on one of Silco's factories, Vi is visibly upset by it but pushes past it. She points out to Jayce that there are many more children -- and adults -- that die in the Undercity every day because of decisions made by Piltover. In a case like this, her sense of justice for wanting to get back at Silco and destroy him outweighed her own personal feelings of an innocent dying. To her, what some people would call "trauma" is an every day dealing with her, as she still considers the Undercity her home.
Following that, she does have a strong sense of justice and wants to protect others. Though she detaches herself from the losses to a certain extent, it fuels her need to get back at the wrongdoer in the situation -- for most of the series, it's Silco. Every death that he's even remotely related to is another tally in her ledger to repay to him. It doesn't take her long to decide who she does and doesn't want to protect -- it was relatively quickly that she got protective over Caitlyn, as Vi deemed her a "good person" and an accessory to bring down Silco.
Vi also carries incredible grudges. Not only to the crime lord that I've already mentioned 100 times, but also to Sevika, who had betrayed Vander. When Vi is released from prison, one of the first things she does is pick a fight with the woman. On being beaten, she comes back later on in the episodes to face her again. It's not just for the grudge at that point, but a personal score to settle so that she won't feel beaten by her.
Ultimately, though, she has one worst weak spot: Powder. The little sister she'd taken care of since her parents died, she feels guilt for leaving her when the accident killed Vander. She also blames herself for Powder becoming Jinx, even though she had also been manipulated by Silco. She hides Jinx's identity from Caitlyn in an effort to protect her, and tries to protect and give her little sister second and third chances to change and to leave with her to be a family again. Despite everyone telling her that Powder had become Jinx, she had tried to protect her as she had done as a child over and over again until the end of the first season.
She's also got a quick temper. It's shown when she yells at Powder after the accident that killed Vander, and she's also easily provoked and ready for a fight by just a few words from someone. In one of the first episodes she even picks a fight with a kid on the street after they had brought their haul from Piltover -- to protect her little family but also because he'd just plain pissed her off. When Vi's temper is high, she tends to say things without thinking too hard about them, and that's something that's never changed over the years.
Underneath her hard shell, however, is a woman who does care about other people (or people she would consider "her people") deeply. Her first instinct is to hug Ekko when they meet again, and she does show doubt in situations where things don't go her way. She still even doubts, as mentioned before, her handling of Powder when they were children. There are only a few people she'd show a more sensitive side to, preferring instead to punch or fight through her feelings instead of actually reflecting on them.
Abilities: She's an accomplished fighter -- being taught to fight in a brawl from the earliest days since her parents' deaths gave her a lot of training. Other than that, that's her most special ability, is to fight.
Inventory: nothing but the clothes on her back.
