VIOLET

Vi, born as Violet, is a Zaun Crest icon Zaunite vigilante and Jinx's Jinx's older sister. A hotheaded and fearless woman who excels at fighting and likes to solve her problems with her fists, she wields a pair of powerful hextech gauntlets that can punch through buildings - and people - with little trouble.

Early Life

Violet "Vi" Violet "Vi" was born in the Underground city of Zaun where she was raised by her parents and grew up alongside her younger sister Powder Powder. As children, they shared a bed together and played a game where they pretended to be scary monsters, Vi often got carried away causing Powder to get scared. Vi comforted her little sister by saying that no monster would ever take her as long as she was around.

One day, Vi and Powder walked along a bridge and witnessed the devastation of a failed uprising against Piltover. Tragically they discovered their parents were killed by Piltover Police Crest Enforcers, leaving them heartbroken. The orphans were both discovered and adopted by Vander Vander. This traumatic event caused Vi to develop a hatred against the Enforcers and Piltover as a whole.

Vi is extremely protective of Powder, often defending her clumsiness against fellow adopted sibling Mylo. A natural brute, she often settles matters with her fists than her head.

Hexgem Incident

Discontent with the state of the undercity, Vi believes the topsiders are selfish and evil. Vi could not understand why Vander prohibited the Undercity from burglarizing Piltover; especially since Piltover was a city of abundance and would send Enforcers to intrude in the Undercity's affairs. Meanwhile, Vi was made to feel less than the topsiders and wanted more for Powder as well. One day, Vi, Powder, Mylo Mylo, and Claggor Claggor burglarize a man man's lavish workshop in Piltover, which ultimately caused an explosion that forced them to abscond from the scene.

Piltover wanted to see the culprits brought to justice—and so the Piltover Council sent the Enforcers to conduct an aggressive manhunt in the Undercity and also implemented punishing commercial sanctions on Zaun districts. Vander taught Vi that she has a responsibility to those that follow her and that she has to be considerate of how her leadership affects them. Furthermore, he warns Vi that vengeance and violence won't solve their problems, and would even create more problems. Later on, Vi learns from Ekko Ekko that Vander and Sheriff Grayson Grayson had a deal to keep the peace between their cities. As the heist leader, Vi was prepared to surrender herself, but Vander locked her in a room and took the blame instead. From a window, she could see Silco Silco appearing abruptly, slaying enforcers and kidnapping Vander.

Vi prepares to go rescue Vander, and tells Powder to stay behind. Conflict arose during the rescue, leading to Powder setting off a monkey bomb that killed their adopted family. After Vi learns of Powder's actions, she yells at her—calling her a 'Jinx' before walking away.

Vi took a rest at a far wall, but later saw Powder approached by Silco. Before she could return to Powder, Vi was suddenly drugged unconscious and arrested by soon-to-be Sheriff Marcus Marcus. For years, Vi was imprisoned in Stillwater Hold Prison without a trial or details of her crimes. Vi spent her days attempting escapes and defending against assassination attempts on her life from murderous prisoners. Prison guards viewed Vi as a troublemaker as she was unruly and was violent against other prisoners that were presumably dangerous Undercity criminals.[2] Nevertheless, the thought of reuniting with her sister gave Vi the determination to persevere in the face of harsh prison life.

Violet prefers to be called Vi.

Vi is a tough, cocky, and hot-headed woman with a very loose respect for authority figures. As an adolescent, Vi had always been protective of her little sister, Powder, as she was always defending her whenever her adoptive brother, Mylo would tease her. This love extended into their adult years, despite Vi's harsh words to Powder following the deaths of their adopted family, and the conflict that would come about as the result of their divergent paths in life.

As an adult, Vi is no longer as hot-headed as she was during her years as an adolescent.

The guilt she feels for abandoning her sister has pursued her and keeps intact even after those many years she spent imprisoned, in fact, this fueled her determination to reunite with Powder and endure the harsh prison life.
