She has long blonde hair, blue eyes and is right handed. She is lightly built but carries her five foot height with poise and grace, becoming of an upper class girl. She seems to have stopped growing at five feet and now assumes she has her grown form, she is satisfied and likes what she sees in the mirror but would like an extra inch or two.
July 14th 1886: Attending Bastille Day in Paris, her first magical event was triggered when she and another mischievous child strayed a little too close to the guns moments before an all gun salute. The guns went off and the little girl panicked, pushing everything not properly secured to a distance from her, including a three ton gun. Poor metallurgy of the cannon was blamed for the incident, but her parents, both furious and excited, knew better. Her young friend for his trouble received a broken arm.
July-August 1890: Family forced to relocate from Marseille (France) to London (England) due to father's work status. Violetta was devastated, having her bags all packed and ready to attend Beauxbatons like her mother before her.
September 1890: Place found at Hogwarts and Violetta begins wizarding school, thankfully she is sorted into Slytherin. Her first year is tough because of her weaker English but luckily her parents had years before had the foresight to teach her the langauge.
July 1891: Begins private Summer education with a governess from Beauxbatons at her mother's request to ensure she does not forget what it is to be a French wizard. Violetta spends 6 weeks each summer there from 1891 through 1893 and loves it.
February 1893: While she was away for third year, her only real friend in England, an upper class muggle girl moved away to India
September 1894: Fifth year begins with her being made a prefect, much to the annoyance of her friend Anne Moony. It is a bumpy start to the year as people like Anne turn on her and it becomes apparent her appointment was more to do with class than any personal leadership talents.
Mid-Late 1894: Meets a gentleman called Victor Frey and is quite smitten by this older acquaintance. A discreet romance with Frey leads to minor scandal that she has to endure before meeting her betrothed.
1895: As planned she finishes Hogwarts at the end of her fifth year. She moves to Switzerland to spend her June in an exclusive finishing school before she is ready for her formal engagement to be announced.
Upper class is the best class, but other classes are OK, I guess. Ambitious, easily irritated, annoyed to have been forced to relocate. Can be quite abrupt when angry.
Used to have a bit of a reputation for keeping other students at a distance. But confidence has grown over 4th year a lot, she is now more sociable but is leaning into her older self.
Likes to talk a lot, fluttering back and forth between English and French.
Suffers from vanity, often checking herself in a discrete pocket mirror. Is quite vulnerable to flattery.
Favourite colours are blues and purples
