Violet Evergarden

Edit

Violet Evergarden is the titular protagonist of Kana Akatsuki's light novel of the same name and its TV adaptation by Kyoto Animation. She is a former child soldier who was treated as a "weapon" by her officers, except Major Gilbert Bougainvillea, who treated her like a human. Due to her military upbringing, she is extremely deadly in combat, but has trouble expressing and understanding emotions. She lost both of her arms during battle, and her missing limbs were replaced by mechanical prostheses after the war ended.

At the start of the series, Violet enlists in the CH postal company to become an "Auto Memory Doll" with the goal of understanding the meaning of Gilbert's last words spoken to her during the war's last stages. Her primary responsibilities as a Doll involve traveling to different places where she fulfills her clients' requests by ghostwriting letters. Through these letters, Violet interprets their thoughts, emotions, and intended messages through her own words. Her mechanical hands proved to be extremely useful because of her job's heavy focus on typing.

First appearing in the Winter 2018 anime season, Violet's most notable achievement in the context of this wiki happened in 2019 where she won the International Saimoe League on her first eligible appearance, becoming the fourth female champion to do so following Nanoha's Fate (2008) K-On's Mio (2010), and DAL's Kotori (2014).

Both the show and the title character garnered positive reception from critics and audiences alike. The KyoAni anime adaptation is responsible for much of Violet's strengths, as it was praised for its signature highly detailed visuals, anime-original scenes, and the emotional impact of several episodes. [note 1] As a result, Violet came to be known as an well-rounded and successful player in character popularity contests, garnering many supporters from all around the world due to its wide-reaching appeal. She also bears strong resemblances to the Fate heroine Saber, such as blonde hair, blue and white dress, and emotionless demeanour; this has led her to be given nicknames such as "Sabergarden" and "Fullmetal Saber" [note 2] in the online anime fandom.

Violet's first major tournament happened in China, where she was pegged as one of the most likely contestants to win Bilibili Moe 2018. Her tournament run ended after losing to Fate/Extra's Saber in the semi-finals by two thousand votes despite significantly leading in true-love tickets, which are worth 2 votes each and can only be used once. She was defeated by top seed Rin Tohsaka in the following round, finishing the tournament in fourth place.

ISML Profile Flavor Text
("written by Guoba")


“I want to know what love is.” with this line, Violet’s journey as an auto-memories doll has started.

Her written history as a soldier was legendary. After the war ends, she ignored her broken, scarred memories behind it. She is now an auto-memories doll who doesn't talk much, but she has potential power to restore clients.

Of course, Violet's lack of emotions can be a turn off for clients. She is somewhat difficult to empathize with at the start. But no worries. Violet learns by listening to the client's problem. She began to understand a feeling precisely after knowing what problems hers client was experiencing. 

Violet faces the fact that the world is filled with bitter words. Not only happy ones but that doesn’t discourage her despite bringing back sorrow memories. So after knowing the meaning of losing someone, she cried out loud because of the major's last words.

Overcoming that heavy nirvana, Violet comes to accept those words as part of her and grows stronger. Now she has changed from a heartless weapon into a human who understands the sense of farewell.

Road to Tiara[]

It wouldn't take long for Violet to win a major title howver, as she had shown signs of promise to win the International Saimoe League by winning the 2018 winter seasonal contest and blowing out Fall champion Mai Sakurajima in the final inter-seasonal match. In the 2019 main tournament, news of the KyoAni arson attack and the ISML website putting a donation page for the victims on its front page may have played an important part on her status as a tournament favourite, as Violet immediately won the first necklace round and finished 20-1 in the regular season, only losing to Emilia in the Ruby period.

In the playoffs, the #3 seeded Doll dispatched Shouko in the last 16 before undertaking perhaps the most dangerous championship run in ISML history, as her matches from quarter-finals and beyond were decided by increasingly tighter margins. She defeated Kurumi by 426 votes, Mai-san by 168 votes, and finally Tohsaka by 173 votes, to claim this year's heavenly tiara and becoming the fourth female debutante to win the award. Furthermore, Violet becomes the third Kyoto Animation girl to win ISML after Mio Akiyama (2010) and Eru Chitanda (2015), putting the studio on par with J.C. Staff in terms of Tiaras won. [note 3]

Tournament of Champions[]

Evergarden competed in the following year's hall of fame tournament as a favourite to win (as is tradition for newly introduced champions). However, she stumbled to a 3-way tie for second with Katou and Angel (in her last ToC), sending all of them into the final round. Violet ended up placing second behind group-topper Eru Chitanda.

Violet remained as a contender in the 2021 ToC, finishing 2nd with 6 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, including a crucial win against Chitanda in round 6 which essentially eliminated her opponent. She then overcame the undefeated newcomer Yukino Yukinoshita in the final round to claim her first ToC title in just her second appearance.

in r/anime[]

During her Seasonal Salt days, the Auto Memory Doll dwelt under the shadow of Franxx's Zero Two, losing to the horned girl in the semi-finals on both 2018 Winter and the yearly contest. Despite these losses, the former soldier matured into a fairly strong and better-seeded contestant in the subreddit's major brackets. Violet was the most successful newcomer on Best Girl 6, securing the highest seed (#15) and best finish (a last-16 loss to Aqua). The following year, she was eliminated by Yui Yuigahama in the fifth round of Best Girl 7. Violet returned to the round of 16 as an #11 seed in Best Girl 8, managing to give #6 Megumin a scare, but she ultimately fell with a 143* votes difference.

In Best Character 5, Violet notably defeated Guts in round 4 before barely losing to Subaru in the next match.
