[/li][li] Knowing the song of your heart & singing it back when the words are forgotten...
* tell us a little about yourself.Well, okay, as long as it's just a little… My name's Violet Adler, but you can just call me Violet. Maybe it's just sheer coincidence, but there's this saying about "shrinking violet" meaning 'shy person' which totally applies to me. I was born on November 10, 1987… and yes, I'm 22 years old. I'm the eldest child of the Addler family, even though I don't think I should be called as such any more. Anyway, I've got two brothers, the last one having just recently been brought to life. My dad, well… he works in an insurance company, but I don't think he's really happy with his job. My mum used to be a wonderful ballerina -or so my dad says- but it's been quite a while since she'd retired, and now she takes care of the house, and looks after me and my two brothers whenever she can. What can I say about my eldest brother? Um, I like to call him Dash, since he's a brilliantly awesome runner. He's totally into athletics, and has won a fair amount of medals and trophies over the years. As for me, even though I'm still living with my family, I'm currently studying in Walten City's University, in the hope of becoming a well-formed journalist once day. So far, I've been in this place for over 6 years by now, and If I have a choice, I wouldn't leave Walten, I'm too comfortable here to think of moving, and I get the feeling that the rest of my family thinks likewise.
Oh and about my appearance… I don't consider myself ugly, though I'm not one to praise my looks either. People have complimented me by my general appearance, but I'm not sure if I can believe that or not, since it seems to me like the sort of thing anyone would say just for the sake of protocol… One thing's for sure: I do not have the silhouette of those skeletal models you see every time you turn on the TV. My skin tone is rather pale, with rosy cheeks that can be easily blushed. I've got long dark hair, almost always straight, though I've lately grown a habit out of having it fall down my shoulders in slight graceful curves. My eyes are bright blue; some people even tell me they've got some shades of silvery grey -Which I think is quite poetic, but I do have my doubts. What more can I say? Fairly average and defined lips, ordinary straight teeth and a slightly long neck. There, I think I haven't left anything behind… although you can still resort to looking at me if there's something I've forgotten to say…
* what are some of your positive traits?
Positive traits? Oh, dear! I have to admit I'm not sure whether I have any traits that could be described as good… But, well I can give it a try.
I have to admit, it gets quite hard for me to start up a friendship -or something more- but the few times I do make friends, I never give them up. It takes while for me to feel secure enough as to trust in that person, mainly because I am so shy I can't bring myself up to share some things too easily with people I know little of. Anyhow, in the possibility of friendship, the first step on my side would be a slight but clear allowance into my feelings, sharing with them my happiness and my sorrow, my dreams, and my nightmares. In other words, I'd let them know what I truly feel or think, then further on doing things within my reach for them while expecting nothing in return. I can be quite sweet, when you take a deeper look inside and really get to know me.
[/li][li] Choosing between what's right and what's easy...
Okay, on with the next one… which would be the fact that I'm a really bad when it comes to lying. Apart from getting too nervous and not being able to feign, it really isn't something I feel like doing, even if I knew that the truth might possibly hurt someone. If there is something I do not want to say, or I think might do more harm than good, I'd simply resort to keep my mouth shut, refusing to answer even if they'd ask me about it… But if I feel that saying the truth is, on the whole, the right thing to do, my conscience would always be listened, and I'll end up spilling the beans.
[/li][li] No time for speeches while you're running like hell...
Well, having been brought up in this peculiar family, what do you expect? Yeah, I'm a brave person, and a quick thinker when it comes to facing trouble, or any problem of the sort. I really don't mind taking risks, or getting involved in any type of adventures… Far from that, I rather enjoy them! These sort of things save me from the oh-so-dull monotony this life has blessed us all with, and I'd accept the offer anytime. Well, this has some exceptions, of course: only as long as I am certain that I wouldn't draw too much attention.
[/size][/blockquote]
* what are some things that you can improve on?
[/li][li] Hiding away...
Let's start off with the basics, shall we? If there is a remote possibility for me to appear unnoticed amid the crowd, rest assured: I would definitely not waste that opportunity. To be completely honest, I have always been more of a silent, discreet type of person, blushing and getting increasingly nervous whenever I notice too many eyes looking right back at me. I don't like to be the centre of attention. Really, no joke -even if by saying this I'm automatically sending myself onto the 0.1% of the population my age who'd be catalogued as "odd/different/rare/unique… or whatever you may wish to call it.
[/li][li] Living in a mystery...
Well, after knowing about my first trait, it seems a bit obvious to mention the fact that I find it so difficult to open up to people. Well, let's face it, it's not like my self-esteem is all over the clouds! Also, I'm a very sensible person and things that people usually forget easily might not get that easily away from my head in my case. Every thing, every action holds a great meaning to me, and therefore, it makes me quite a vulnerable person on the whole. As you may see, I am quite sceptical when it comes to believing that one could actually care for me, knowing me for who I truly am. That's precisely my reason for finding it abominably hard to exteriorize my feelings. To almost every pair of eyes, I'd always be the quiet, hermetic young woman… And maybe it's best that way… Maybe it's how it's supposed to be, after all. That's why my instant reaction would be to shield myself away from everyone who attempts to approach me; the less people know about me, the better. That way I don't have to suffer anyone's rejection. However, deep inside… I secretly miss that bit of happiness: having friends, being part of a group, having a formal boyfriend… well you know, that sort of stuff… And you definitely cannot blame for that, can you?
[/li][li] Wrong place, wrong time… Again.
Yep, that's basically it. I have a huge, unyielding knack for getting myself into trouble. Or making a fool of myself, for all that matters. I honestly don't know how I manage it, but somehow trouble keeps following me everywhere I go. The bit of irony? It almost always never happens when I'm out doing something I shouldn't do. It mostly happens when I'm surrounded by a large crowd of people, out in the corridors of my college as it had been back on those old High School days. My family often tells me it's just a result of my being so shy a person with a hugely low self-esteem. They keep telling how my nervousness keeps beating me every time I have something important to do. Well, I think they might be right.
[/size][/blockquote]
* what's your biggest secret? we won't tell.
Why should I have to tell you my secrets? I mean, how can I trust and know that you won't go spilling the beans behind my back as soon as I'm out of view? Oh well… let's see, -drum roll, please: I come from a family of spies.
There, I said it.
Both my parents have been spies in their early years, but their Institution was officially shut down: lawsuits from injured bystanders led to a political backlash that forced all of the team to abandon their jobs. So there you go, my biggest secret revealed, which is something I honestly don't want anyone to know. Got it? No one. I'll be watching… I'll know it was you!
* what does your heart want?
Uh, do I honestly have to answer that? It's not as if Prince Charming would ever even notice me, not even a huge and sparkly banner in front of his very own eyes would do the trick… Even though I have to confess that I have a strong longing for love and affection, I have already assumed it's way beyond my reach: probably a curse I would have to endure unless I'd learn how to express my emotions. Anyway, my prince would have to be of the outgoing, funny and pretty self-confident kind to receive my fullest attention. But, above all, he has to be kind, slightly romantic, and above all, the friend who'd be there for both good and bad times, accepting me for who I really am. He has to be aware that I need things to be slow, so he has to be a bit patient. I deeply hate being toyed with, and if a guy can't simply assume that a kiss to me means something more than just a kiss, then he's more than wasting his time with me. Oh I'd give anything for someone like that to exist, someone who wouldn't turn his back on me too easily. Rest assured: if ever I should come across with such a person, I'd tightly hold on to him, not letting go, and loving him forever and until my end of time.
* what do you do in your spare time?
Music. I absolutely adore music! I could listen to it for almost hours and hours… Music is said to be the voice of our souls, and I couldn't agree more. Do you want to know what I love most about music? The fact that you can be related to it in such a strong way! There's always a song for any mood you might be in. For sad days, there are always songs of hope. For seething moods, there's always a soothing lyric… And for a person like me, who is used to live in her own inner world, not talking to anyone about my problems, I could not imagine a life without music.
Um… Another thing I love doing is reading; and writing. When I read, I forget about my worries, immersing myself between the pages of the book seems as if, for a moment, I'm living in a different life: sometimes packed with adventures, sometimes with thrilling mysteries, or fascinating worlds where magic is the sparkle of life itself.
Writing helps me to express my feelings, in a way. It's not that I keep a diary of anything of the sort -I could never leave my life amid the pages of a book, since there is always the possibility that one might incidentally come across it, and my feelings are too personal to simply leave them out in the open for everyone to see. Anyhow, I'm slipping away from the main point; sorry. Back again, I tend to canalize my feelings into stories. The great thing about stories is how you can write about anything: the plot, the scene, the chaos and harmony that develop and intertwine with one another throughout the story… endless possibilities to explore! Sometimes I make the characters share my emotions, some might go through what I am going, some might even have a couple of my personally traits, while others may simply be all those I things I'd have wanted myself to have been. Like I said, the possibilities are endless, and the rules, for once, in this virtual world of mine, rest in my hands, and mine alone.
* so what does your family life look like?
My family? Best described as the most insane, weird, and superultramegahiper coolest family any person might ever have -okay so they're MY family after all, what do you expect?
Let's start with my dad, shall we? One of the things I love most about him is his knack for getting himself into trouble; who knows? Maybe I got his genes in what concerns that trait after all. Okay, so maybe he can give my mum a fair amount of headaches every now and then, but in the end it's always a laugh with him. Curiously enough, he makes up for his magnetic attraction towards trouble by his incredibly neat ways of walking away from it. Most people think it's sheer luck. Personally? I think it's all about experience: you get yourself into trouble, you've no other choice but to get out of its reach. Fair enough, don't you think?
When it comes to talking about my mum… I'm so glad to be her daughter! She's always so full of love, and always trying to protect us from any danger that might arouse… Okay so she may be a bit scary when she gets annoyed and yells at me, but I know it's all because she cares about us… about me. She's always there to help me overcome my lack of self-esteem, and I seriously do not know what I'd do without her!
As for Dash, well, we do argue most of the time, and somehow we keep on being pulled into trouble's hands. Uh, actually, no. That'd be him getting into trouble, and me being pulled into it thanks to him. But, oh well, brothers are brothers aren't they? And I do love him more than he may know. And finally… my beloved Jack-Jack, who has recently come to this world. He's still a baby, after all, so I can't say much about him, except that he's the cutest thing I've ever laid eyes on!
* what are the memorable moments in your life?
Well, I have to admit that for the invisible, un-average kind of girl I am, I've had some pretty memorable moments throughout life. Some are nice… some not so nice, but anyway; best to start things from the very beginning.
It wasn't until I turned 15 that I discovered the truth about my family. It all happened quite accidentally, to be honest. By then my parents had been on that typical phase when parents almost always cannot see things through the same perspective, obviously leading into tough rows that had not leaving either me nor Dash with indifference. Turns out that one day, dad left home… and did not arrive. I was quite disturbed; I hated seeing my family so torn, when we used to be so happy and supportive with one another -of course, back then I had thought it had been because of their disputes… little did I know!
Things did not end there: two days later, my mum started to act weird. Almost as if she was keeping things from us, as if she were hiding secrets. That was why when she told us she was leaving home for a while, leaving me on command in the house, I could not resist the temptation, and, well… I followed her, along with my brother Dash. We tried to pass unnoticed as much as we could, knowing that the longer it took mum to realise that we were in the same train as her, the less probable it was for her to send us back home.
Okay, so it took mum a big shock and a surprisingly large list of curses before accepting -not without reluctance- that we had no intention of leaving her unless she informed us of what was going on. Eventually, she spilled the beans and told us all about their past; how they had known each other while working as spies for an Institution which was now closed. As it turned out, this institution, by the name of NY5, had had a ferocious enemy across the lands that had spent all those past years since NY5's closure searching for every agent who had worked there, trying to put an end to their lives. At the time my mum told me that, I realised for the first time that life is not as safe and peaceful as most humans believed it to be. Furthermore, this news came as a complete, unexpected shock to me, and it took some time, courage and inner will to finally assume the fact that I hadn't really known my parents until that very moment. I was a bit shocked, and somewhat angry at them for having been brought up amid a large pool of lies. However, with time and patience, I finally got round to accepting it -as if I'd even ever had the choice after all.
After a narrow escape -father included in the pack as well- we decided to move on to a faraway place, starting off, fresh and new, with a brand new life ahead of us. Wow, I did pictured that as if it was some sort of relief, didn't I? Curious, because I wasn't that much thrilled about it right then. But anyhow, that was how we ended up in Walten, calling ourselves the 'Addler' family but keeping our real names, nevertheless.
I remember those very first days in Walten City. It was a nice change, I had admitted it even back then. The weather here is pretty much better than that of Razalas, our previous hometown. The people seemed to be nice and warm with us, but by then, something had already changed deep inside me. Lies; I was living amongst an ocean of lies. How could my parents ask me to be normal, when I knew I could not? Pretend as much as they did, I couldn't let go the rippling sensation of not being able to be normal again… Then again, even when I had thought I was normal, I still had not. The only difference it had made was the fact that in Razalas, I had lived in complete ignorance -Ah! The price of truth can come at such a high cost sometimes…
Years passed, years during which I had neither friends nor good fortune in my life. If I had already been of a shy nature before coming here, in Walten, my introvert ways came to a rather extreme behaviour. Not that there was much I could do, or much that I had hoped for anyway… With music and books to evade me from life, I felt as if I had all the essentials to get by. I tried making friends, I really tried… It was just the fact that I was not capable of retaining them. I was (and still am) too afraid of people knowing too much about me, too afraid of being rejected that I completely shut myself away from people, even if that had been far from being my intention. All I wanted, all I had really wanted, was to feel normal: to feel normal, and not to stand out. But things did not quite turn out according to plan.
At last, those tedious and endless days of high school finally came to an end. My high school graduation: something I'll definitely remember. The very same day I received the letter from Walten University, accepting me into its world. How excited I felt that day! Another fresh start, and eagerly looking forward to it.
* so we've heard that you're a lot like Violet Parr
[/font][/blockquote]
name: They both share one same name: Violet. Parr is also their equal surname, even though it is Walten's middle name while the other Violet has it as her last.
play by: Violet Parr and Lucy Griffiths are both young girls with dark long hair and somewhat big eyes, with an innocent complexion that matches quite nicely with their way of behaving and seeing the world.
positive traits: In the film, you can see Violet acting in a real brave manner when facing all those dangers she had been thrown into. She has also proven herself to be a quick and cunning thinker, as well as truly loyal to all those whom she loves most. These are some of the traits she shares with Violet Addler as well.
negative traits: In the movie, Violet desperately wants to be like everyone else, to blend in with normal people, and to not stand out. Also, her shyness and lack of confidence are two crucial things that lead her to find it so hard to mixing up with other boy and girls her age. Because of her ability to become invisible, she feels like she's never going to fit in no matter how hard she tries. Also, she is not precisely found surrounded by masses of people -if at all- which leads us to the realisation that she finds it hard to establish any form of friendship.
orientation: Got the guy, saved the day, and finally overcame her shyness and self-conscience nature in the end.
turn ons: The film does not focus too much on her love preferences, but what little that can be said of it is what is shown of the boy she fancied at High School: he seemed confident, funny, and pleased with his own self. Violet Addler has a taste for boys which is not unlike that of hers.
turn offs: From what we can see, Violet Parr has taken a strong liking to the guy, a liking that probably has been present for a long period of time. She seems to be the kind of girl who has her eyes and heart fixed on only one person, and does not give up her feelings too easily as time goes by. That's why she probably would never accept a guy who'd play with her feelings; even less, someone who'd simply have the intention of 'passing by', or try and change who she really is. Pretty much like Violet Addler in that way; both girls would rather be left alone than in wrong hands.
spare time: In the film, Violet has been seen with big headphones, sometimes placed over her head, and sometimes not, but always a clear hint of how much she depends on music in her day to day life. Since Violet Parr Addler is a bit older than her, I took the liberty of imagining how Violet Parr would have been if she were older, and also added a more detailed background concerning her hobbies, as I don't think we have been given enough details in the film. The way I see things, I can totally imagine Violet reading stories in an attempt to evade herself from the world she lives in as well as all her concerns… And since I described Violet Addler as a future journalist, what less than a journalist who resorts to ink and paper to ease her moods?
family life: Superhero Violet lives in a family of "retired" superheroes, whilst this Violet belongs to a family whose father and mother had been spies before their institution had been closed for good. Mr. Incredible, in the film, secretly keeps on secretly 'saving the day' with a friend of his; it takes a while for the rest of the family to discover his little risky pastime. Violet Addler suspects about his father's hobbies, since she is aware of the advanced and rare gadgets his father he still possessed in a rather abandoned place of the house. Violet Addler's mother is a ballerina, which reminds of Mrs. Incredible's truly impressive flexibility. His brother Dash -whose nickname is also shared by Violet's brother in the film- is a incredibly good runner, and part of an athletics team. Dash, in the film, can be seen taking part in a race competition, and obliging to his father's commands as he tells him to slow down his speed because he was being too good to compete against his rivals.
memorable moments: Okay, here the events are slightly different according to chronological order in both Violet's lives, but still, their reactions towards the events have been quite similar nonetheless.
The film shows us how Bob (AKA Mr. Incredible) is being tricked by his enemy into several tasks with the purpose of taking away his life. Helen, (Mrs. Incredible) realises that Bob has gone back to the remembrance of the good old days, and leaves home in his search, followed by her eldest son and only daughter, as it had happened with Violet Addler's family.
There have also been events for both Violets during which their lives had been at stake. Also, they had been successful in overcoming them, showing bravery and cunning above all.
Neither Violet take well the fact that they have to hide a part of who they are in an attempt to pretend to be normal and fit in with the crowd. This secret also leads them to be more self-conscious, shy and introvert when having to be with other people.this application was written by Sphy, who also plays none other character.
