Violet is the younger sister of Claire Devereux and a good friend of Stefan Salvatore's. Both girls were born in Dublin, Ireland, and lived there until Claire was 21 and Violet was 18 and they decided to move to London to pursue their dreams since Claire wanted to become an actress and Violet wanted to become a singer. The history from Claire's app involving the two of them is as follows:
Claire Devereux was born on 25 June 1867 to Zacariah and Marie Devereux, a working class couple who lived in the heart of Dublin. Originally born a twin, Claire’s brother was stillborn and as such she grew up an only child until three years later when her parents were blessed with another child, her younger sister Violet. Her father had always wanted a son to carry on the family name but from the first moment he held first Claire and then Violet in his arms he loved them both and throughout their childhood he did everything he could in order to make them happy. Claire and her father were very close while she was growing up, even closer than Claire and her mother were in fact, and he quickly became the one person she could always depend on no matter what. She was happy living with her parents and her younger sister Violet became her best friend. As the older sister, however, Claire also served as Violet’s protector given that her sister was never very good at looking after herself. The two of them managed to get into quite a bit of trouble over the years but they always managed to find their way out of it.
When Claire was only nine years old, her mother died leaving the three of them to learn how to look after themselves. Even at such a young age Claire was expected to be the lady of the house although thankfully she had plenty of help and instead of putting a lot of pressure on her to make everything perfect like she had seen happen to some of her friends who were in the same position, her dad made sure that she was still able to have a normal childhood and the two along with Violet spent more days than Claire could count just playing, having fun and being a normal family.
Five years later, Claire’s father fell in love and remarried although Claire and her step-mother never really got along. Even though it was obvious that Claire’s father loved his new wife, it was clear to everyone that his daughters still came first and that was enough to make her step-mother a little jealous. She tried and failed to drive a wedge between the three of them but if anything she just brought them closer together. Eventually she found a way to accept that nothing could come between them and was content to just be a part of their lives but it wasn’t easy getting to that point. As time went on, however, her father and step-mother were blessed with more children and the family began to grow.
In 1888, Claire and Violet moved to London. To begin with Claire didn’t like the idea of leaving her family behind at all but at the end of the day she dreamed of becoming a famous actress and Violet dreamed of becoming a singer so both of them felt like London was where they had to be in order to make that happen. Their parents had some money saved and gave everything they had to the two girls to give them at least a start in their new lives so the two of them travelled to London and never really looked back.
After a few months there, Claire met a young man named Henry Mortimer but it wasn’t until much later that she would learn that he was a vampire. He compelled her into doing whatever he wanted, including letting both Henry and his brother Samuel drink her blood. For all intents and purposes Claire completely disappeared from the public eye leaving Violet on her own, only showing her face on occasion when she was needed to escort Henry to various different social events. It was only when Violet teamed up with two brothers named Stefan and Damon to find Claire and save her from Henry’s influence that she was finally freed from the life she had been subjected to and the two brothers were able to kill Henry. Those actions came with consequences though, Violet was turned into a vampire and became sired to Henry’s brother Samuel, forced to do his bidding through the presence of the sire bond, and Samuel was more determined to have his revenge than ever.
1888 was an unforgettable time in London. Claire, Stefan and Damon soon found out that Samuel was the one behind the Jack The Ripper murders however he captured and framed Damon for them as he wanted revenge with the help of a man by the name of Lord Ainsley, a nobleman of high standing within the community who was able to help Henry and Samuel move up the social ladder with ease in exchange for the two of them promising that they would eventually turn him into a vampire. As the Salvatores and Claire eventually found out, Henry and Samuel were both turned by the same woman, Elizabeth, and both loved her but the last they heard of her was in 1864 when she told them that she was heading to Mystic Falls having heard rumours about a town in which a few other vampires were trying to live normal lives. Soon after the vampires were rounded up by the Founder’s Council and word spread from those who were lucky enough to escape that the Salvatore brothers were responsible for bringing the town’s vampires down.
Having heard that the Salvatores had died honourably when the vampires were rounded up it was a surprise for Henry and Samuel to learn that they had in fact become vampires themselves, having been turned by Katherine, and upon learning that the two were in London they saw it as the ultimate revenge to toy with the two of them before killing them and Claire and Violet were nothing more than pawns in their game.
A cunning plan led to Stefan and Claire saving Damon but once again Samuel had a backup plan. After fleeing with Violet and Damon, Samuel used the sire bond to make Violet turn off her humanity switch and forced her to commit countless horrible murders, so many that it chipped away at her soul and turned her into a Ripper. Once Damon was free a fight ensued and Samuel told Claire to kill Stefan, something which she almost succeeded in doing until Claire stepped in and saved him, in the process taking the life of her own sister. With Violet and Henry both dead Samuel was left on his own and the brothers were able to make short work of him although the murders remained unsolved. Killing Violet broke Claire’s heart but even she had to accept that the vampire she had killed had stopped being her sister when she was compelled to turn her humanity off and became a Ripper and with the help of Stefan and Damon she was able to make it through.
Violet died as a Ripper but now she is back it would be great for her humanity to be back on and for her to be learning to control her bloodthirst now that she is no longer under Samuel's control. How she is brought back, whether she makes a deal with a witch or warlock or whether she wakes up with no recollection of what happened is up to whoever takes her but I would love to have Violet around.
