Vi

Violet was born in Zaun to Felicia and Connol, later having a younger sister, Powder, who she was very close to. When Vander, Felicia, Silco, and Connol led a rebellion against Piltover, her parents were killed in battle and Vander took the sisters in. Vander later adopted two orphan boys as well, and Vi became the leader of their group.

Vi led her siblings (Powder, Mylo and Claggor) topside for a job. They use the roofs of Piltover to climb to the house where there are supposed to be valuables. They easily break into one of the apartments, but the workshop blows up when Powder accidentally drops an unstable crystal. Before they get underground, they are stopped by Deckard and his group, who asks them if they have good loot. Mylo answers in the affirmative, and a fight breaks out; Powder is given the bag with valuables and, when one of Deckard's goons spots her, she runs away. They emerge victorious, but Powder throws the valuables they stole into the water to protect herself.

Defeated, they return home, where Vander awaits them. Vi initially tries to deny she and the others have anything to do with the explosion on topside, but the truth comes out fast. Vander leaves to deal with the aftermath of their actions. Mylo blames Powder for losing their loot, but Vi is quick to put his words down claiming that Powder is “hers to deal with”. Powder heard the beginning of this conversation and thinks Vi blames her as well. Vi later comforts her and brings her to the top of a building to look out on Zaun. Together, she says, this city will respect them.

Later, her and her siblings play in an arcade. Vi fights the boxing machine and gains her new top-score. Suddenly, an enforcer breaks through the glass of the arcade and begins searching them. Vi looks to Powder and sees her holding the crystals, so Claggor turns off the lights to distract the Enforcers. They run but are quickly cornered by them, until Ekko lets down a ladder and they escape. Afterwards, Vi and her siblings watch Vander put down any ideas of fighting back. Angry, Powder questions why he would do this when they could easily fight back. Vi catches Ekko’s nervous expression, and she forces it out of him that Vander has a deal with the Grayson, the sheriff.

Sometime later, Vi and her siblings are in their room in the basement of The Last Drop when Vander drops the monkey alarm that enforcers are coming. They hide in the ceiling where Powder almost falls, and Vi yells at Vander about making them hide. Vander sends the other kids away, and she and him go to the Bridge of Progress. They talk about the seriousness of their situation, Vander asks Vi if she is willing to looser Claggor, Mylo, or even Powder in the fight for freedom. Vander tells her that he was the one who led the revolution in the past and is responsible for her parents’ deaths, and that nobody wins in war.

When Vi returns, she decides to give herself in to protect her siblings. She sends Grayson a message, and goes to Benzo's Shop to wait. As the door opens, it turns out to be Vander and Benzo. Vander says he would give himself in, and locks Vi in the basement of the shop. Vi screams and begs him not to do this, and later looks out the window to see blood splatter. She cries, seeing Grayson and Benzo’s death along with Vander being taken away. Sometime later Ekko enters, breaking down as Vi hugs and comforts him. Ekko tells her that Silco took him, and Vi gathers Claggor and Mylo to help them get Vander. Powder starts to gather her things too, to which Vi tells her she can’t come. Powder gets upset, but Vi, Claggor, and Mylo leave. As they get to the Cannery, they slip through an open window and find Vander. Vi tells him how easy it was to get in, when they realize that it was a trap. Silco appears at the other side of the bridge, and Vi grabs Vander’s cast iron mitts to fight his goons. She begins punching and beating them up all while Mylo and Claggor work on getting Vander out, until a shimmer enhanced Deckard comes and strangles Vi. She escapes and locks the door to the room Vander’s in, and Mylo breaks his cuffs free. Claggor breaks out some bricks in the wall, and they begin to leave when a bomb explodes. Vi is crushed by a large piece of concrete, and she turns to see her brothers dead underneath the rubble. She begins to cry, and Deckard lifts the concrete from her but Vander intercepts and begins to fight. He gets up to Silco, who stabs him and gets thrown over the bridge. Vander comes back up, this time under the influence of Shimmer, to fight again but sees that Vi is about to get crushed, so he grabs her and jumps out of the building. Vi cradles Vander, crying, and he tells her to protect Powder. Powder appears to her side, telling her that her bomb finally worked. Vi asks if she did this, and when Powder realizes what she's done, Vi slaps her, grabs her face and screams at her, saying that she is a “jinx”. She then looks at her hand and walks away, scared and sad at what she did. She looks over to where she sits in a dark tunnel, and sees Silco talking to Powder. She tries to go back and save her sister, when Marcus drugs her and she is taken away to Stillwater Hold.

7 years pass while Vi is imprisoned; she is beaten and mistreated by the enforcers at the prison where she grows strong from fights and self-training. She grows a reputation amongst the enforcers and prisoners for her tough attitude. Eventually, one of Silco's goons is imprisoned where Vi beats him up, resulting in a broken jaw. Caitlyn Kiramman, a low-ranking enforcer goes to Vi's cell to ask her more about the man. Vi learns that Caitlyn is investigating Silco, where she tells her to "give Silco a kiss". The enforcer steps closer to Vi's cell, and shows her some one of Jinx's drawings which intrigues Vi. Vi tells Caitlyn that she could help her, but not inside the jail.

Caitlyn, with Vi's prison release signed by the new Councillor, takes her to the edge of Piltover. Vi effortlessly jumps across the roofs of Zaun and onto the streets, noticing the changes Silco made to the structures she grew up with. Caitlyn hesitantly follows her, and they obtain new clothing from two street thugs. They eat at Jericho's restaurant where Caitlyn argues that its useless, but Vi shows her that Jericho gave her a napking with some information that could help. The two visit Babette's brothel and Vi suggests Caitlyn could pretend to be a prostitute to get info. Caitlyn scoffs and Vi tells her that in order to get people to talk, you have to act like you have what they want. Caitlyn asks what that is, to which Vi calls her hot. A man appears in front of them and Vi introduces Caitlyn as a prostitute, and she leaves to talk to the owner. Babette tells her that no one had been able to stop Silco after Vander's death. Vi asks about Powder, but the Yordle does not know what happened to her. She does know that Sevika is a regular at the brothel and to talk to a man called Miguel. As Vi leaves, she sees Caitlyn talking to a woman looking much more comfortable. Vi laughs surprised, and walks out.

Vi finds Sevika playing cards with others. Vi come up on her, kicking her face in with her knee. Sevika prepares for the fight by revealing her mechanical arm, which has a container that injects shimmer into her body. The two engage in a rough fight, where both struggle against each other's strength. Vi eventually pins the other woman down, asking her where Powder was. Sevika spits out that it's Jinx now, and she works for Silco out of her own choice. Vi is shocked and lets her guard down, to which Sevika uses her mechanical arm's fingers to stab Vi in the gut. About to kill her, Sevika is shot in the shoulder by Caitlyn. Sevika runs off and Caitlyn runs over to Vi to help her. The two walk off with Caitlyn holding Vi up by the shoulder, and Vi calls her "cupcake".

The two reach a cliff side in Zaun, where Vi attempts to jump around a metal structure to reach the bottom, but falls awkwardly and lands painfully on the ground. Caitlyn reaches the floor to help her, where in the distance a strange group watches. Caitlyn shoos away the Shimmer addicts who live in the valley and leaves Vi in her childhood home. Vi hallucinates visions of Powder and her mother running around the room, and Vi refuses Caitlyn's help. Caitlyn insists to help, and leaves the house. When Caitlyn comes back, she force-feeds Vi the Shimmer she obtained. Vi coughs and struggles with the feeling, but it heals her. Caitlyn discusses Powder, now Jinx, but also asks about the house. Vi tells her that it was her and Powder's home when they were younger. Caitlyn asks about her family more and Vi responds that enforcers killed them. Exiting the building, Vi sees Silco and two of his goons. He hands shimmer to some of the addicts around, and the two talk about Jinx. Vi yells at him, claiming that she will get Powder back no matter what. Three shimmer-enchanced addicts walk up to Vi, and she knocks down the water tower behind her which collapses in the area. Vi and Caitlyn escape into Zaun, and Vi spots a blue flare going off in the distance. She pauses, realizing that it's Powder, and runs up to the platform where she stands.
