Meet Violet Fielding, my original historical character from 1918 Boston!

I've been doing some workshopping with my custom historical characters because I've been a little bored with AG's historical offerings of late, and because it's a fun excuse to dig into moments in time that interest me personally, but AG probably wouldn't produce a similar character themselves. (I say that, but my 1940's Hawaii character predates Nanea, so who knows! Maybe I'm manifesting some future stuff I can borrow for my gals.)

Violet is the youngest of three siblings. Her older sister Alice is in her early 20's and either a nurse or a Hello Girl, leaning towards nursing because I'm not sure I want her to go overseas and she could work at a hospital in Boston during the war. Her older brother James is 19 and enlists in the Marines once the US enters World War I. I think by Violet Saves the Day, he's returned home dealing with quite a bit of "shellshock" and that becomes a somewhat major theme.

Her parents are pretty wealthy, and the family lives in a brownstone on Beacon Hill in Boston. Her dad is a doctor and mom is a suffragist who also gets involved in causes supporting the war effort. Both parents are very supportive of their kids following their passions and getting themselves out there in this still relatively new century, which is why Alice has been allowed to go to school instead of immediately marrying some wealthy guy.

Vi herself is a precocious and creative kid. I think she likes to draw and paint and generally be crafty and creative, which comes in handy when brainstorming ways she can support her brother overseas and the war effort more broadly. While she's not afraid to get her hands dirty, she does like typically girly things like having teatime and looking at catalogs filled with new dresses. Her book series would theoretically cover 1917 through 1919 or so, and touch on the war, Women's Suffrage, the Spanish Flu, shellshock, and possibly the Boston Molasses Disaster.

Currently I'm trying to come up with a best friend character for her, as she really needs a Nellie or Ruthie in her life with the age difference and both siblings being off doing exciting and scary things without her. There are a lot of different directions I could go in with said friend - fellow wealthy-ish kid feels boring, Boston had a lot of new immigrant communities in the 1910's, some of whom did live in a specific part of Beacon Hill, Boston historically struggles with insidious covert racism but was still a city with a number of prominent Black and Jewish communities - and nothing's quite clicked as perfect just yet.

Violet is a Marie-Grace doll with a Nanea wig. Someone was selling her on a Facebook group a few years ago and I immediately felt like she was a Violet and needed to join my crew. Her last name was inspired by Lady Dorothie Fielding, a British woman who drove an ambulance during WWI and received several awards for bravery and service. Fielding's letters home were published after her death and are a really fascinating look at what it was like on the front lines doing this incredibly dangerous and important work. I used it as a major primary source for an educational interactive I helped develop in one of my previous jobs.

I couldn’t help noticing something when I was looking at the official art for Juliana. She’s smiling in pretty much all of the art of her.

Except for one of them.

In the Indigo Disk art of her she isn’t smiling anymore. She looks more serious/worried. And what was happening during Indigo Disk? That’s when we got to see the major change in Kieran. She’s worried about him because she clearly sees Kieran isn’t acting like himself. He seems like a completely different person from the guy she remembers in Kitakami.

hammerposting again because guys. we need to talk about this scene more

like. not just because it’s the girlfailure duo and i love them, but also because it makes no sense for them to win that fight

vi is a skilled boxer and could beat the shit out of multiple adults on a bridge even when she was like 15 and didn’t have superpower gloves, however. she’s within a 50 yard radius of jayce so now she has an iq debuff of 50%

and jayce?

JAYCE HAS ZERO FUCKING TRAINING. HE’S A SCIENTIST. THE BIGGEST FIGHT HE’S BEEN IN IS HIS FIGHT WITH BISEXUALITY AND HE LOST THAT ONE TOO

THAT MAN HAS NO EXPERIENCE WITH ANYTHING AT ALL AND THEN HE WALKED INTO A HEROIN FACTORY WITH A LESBIAN AND A 7 FOOT TALL HAMMER THAT SHOOTS LASERS, OF FUCKING COURSE HE SHOT A KID. WHO TOLD HIM ANY OF THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA

merlin told arthur his favorite color was the color of the sky during sunset when it shifted into a deep violet. arthur gets a tunic made in that exact shade. its the best thing merlin owns. arthur was hoping that would mean he’d wear it almost everyday but merlin almost never wears it. the only time he does wear it is when royals come to visit (which isn’t all that often). arthur “subtly” asks about it and merlin is like “it’s the best thing i own. i’m not gonna dirty it mucking out the stables or serving rowdy knights wine while they splatter food on it” and arthur is like “why not wear it when nobles come to visit? look at least a little presentable for them” (cough nice save). merlin doesn’t see the point in it bc nobles don’t care about him at best, view him as less than human at worst.

arthur really just wants to see his boyfriend servant in the tunic he had made for him (bonus points for sending a message that merlin is his. not that merlin seems to notice. man is too much of an idiot). merlin wants to preserve his favorite tunic and gift from his boyfriend king.

If there isn't at least one scene in the next book where Xaden is being absolutely cornered with no escape and Violet just comes through and absolutely loses it because they've just found each other again and whether she knows everything or not she'll still take any chance to be with him but if he stays with her everything will just get worse so Xaden is trying his hardest to stay and Violet doing her absolutely damnedest to protect him by forcing him to leave and yeah

or vice versa

but if this doesnt happen im not reading it
