violet is approachable and friendly. though she doesn't say much, she isn't shy. she's just a bit more on the observant side and only says when she needs to. she has a laid-back presence, and she talks rather in a lazy sense and dragging her words a lot. but, sometimes she might chimed a little one-liners, and commenting others based on her knowledge, which, could be rude if you think about it. thanks to her observant side, she knows how to pick up social cues and get along with everyone.

she is incredibly creative and has wide range of knowledge that helped her a lot in thinking new ideas and ways. but you can't really guarantee that every ideas she came up with are all intelligent, nor clever. her ideas could be very genius or either very... weird. she is a very curious person who seeks knowledge in every little things. you can say it bothers her so much when she doesn't know something. due to this curious side of her, she can be very immediately passionate in things she's interested in. she can be very quiet, but just talk about a topic she likes, and she would talk nonstop. her curious side might be seen as being ambitious, but it's not. she's just a big nerd, really.

though she is adaptable in social interactions, in a lot of times where she needs to use her brain in a situation like brainstorming, she could be seperated from the world. as she is a curious mind with creativity who always seek for innovation, knowledge or any abstract ideas, she might stay long in her head before she gets pulled to the reality. this might cause her to suddenly blank out as she's thinking of ideas, plans or thoughts. this might also cause her in difficulty to articulate what she's thinking, which might effects communication. this might also cause her to move individually by herself, which can cause some differences in teamwork. violet can also indulge herself for a long time, just absorbing knowledge and persevering her energy.

contrasting to her observing nature, Violet does have some issues putting her mind to action. as she is more action than words, she could take ways that aren't really clever nor clean and might get herself into trouble. with her creativity, she could be a very big risk-taker. she isn't exactly someone with a temper, but it is her ideas and thoughts that get her ahead of herself. she also could be be very impulsive. S.H.I.E.L.D was the one who taught her to control it, and it made her able to trust them very well. after the HYDRA Uprising/Fall of S.H.I.E.L.D, she has committal issues in working as a team, due to her difficulty in trusting other to work with. and now she has no one to work with, her reckless side is slowly creeping in again.

background:

since she was a child, Violet has always been craving freedom. growing up, Violet's family was very secretive towards her. her family is a family that is similiar to mafia. they call themself the Zen Group. her family were wealthy because all of the illegal deeds they do. of course, Violet was not aware of this when she was raised there. she had her parents who were genuinely care about her. but behind the walls, Violet had overheard them fighting over and over again, hearing her mother wanting to get out of the family because of the dirty works the Zen Group did. she also had her younger brother, Aron, who was the only person she could talk about everything with. 

she was home-schooled, and her family doesn't let her go to the outside world that much, because the rivals to Zen Groups would hunt her down. when she does go outside, she used to be companied with  body guards. naturally, she became curious to everything. she has nothing to entertain her, so books were all she had. therefore, she started feeding knowledge by herself in the age of 7, with her family's extensive reading collection. she picked up many interests in various fields of knowledge, such as engineering, arts, geology and many more. this newly equiped knowledge of her only motivates her to seek more and more. Violet had so many questions when she was still a child, such as why she's home-schooled, why she can't go outside and so much more. 

she adapted creative mindsets through the books she read, which she quickly applied. she started out training her creativity in her attempts to escape from her house with tactical plans, which large amount of them failed. she also used to brought alone Aron, though at the end Aron refused to go because he didn't want to break rules. after then, she found way to transfer her creative mindset to arts. she is particularly very fond of drawing maps and sceneries of places, because when she was trapped in Zen family's house, she couldn't go anywhere and maps and potraits of sceneries was how she can see the outside world. she also puts her creativity in combat, which enhanced her learning in martial arts. after seeing her developing combat skills, her grandfather encouraged her to learn martial arts, starting with Indonesian martial arts, which she would master later on. 

when she turned 9, Zen Family's house were raided by Zen Group's rivals. she was knocked off and when she woke up, she was already in The Battle Ground. The Battle Ground is training grounds for martial skills in advance, located in Komodo Island, Indonesia. beside her, there were a lot of kids around her age, majority of them were also taken away from their families as well. as she was (forcedly) following the program, Violet found that this group is training young talents to be sold to HYDRA. Violet who discovered this fact tried to run away, only to get caught and was thrown in isolation. she was trained even more harder then. this group also has ceremony to give the training students Super Serum when they turned of age, but Violet did not get one because at age 17, The Battle Ground was discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. the innocent trainees were saved. S.H.I.E.L.D was supposed to send back the children to their respective families, turned out Violet's family disappeared from the records. the only records they have is that her father and mother were brutally murdered by HYDRA after leaking an information about them to S.H.I.E.L.D. they visited the Zen family house where she used to live in. she also picked up a pearl knife from her mother's nightstand, a knife which Violet holds dearly to her heart now. 

knowing Violet has nowhere to go, Agent Melinda May from S.H.I.E.L.D recommended her to go to S.H.I.E.L.D Acadamy of Operations, so later on she can join S.H.I.E.L.D as an agent. after graduating, she immediately joined S.H.I.E.L.D, one of of the youngest recruits. she also made friends with Ray Angelino, a newly recruited S.H.I.E.L.D lab engineer. she officially served under S.H.I.E.L.D, running on missions starting in 2010. in 2012, she was ordered to join the Helicarrier mission in New York, under the orders of Agent Maria Hill and Director Fury. after that, she continued doing other missions, such as infiltrating secretive and questionable groups, undercover missions in another intellegent agencies, and many others. along the way, she gained many friends who finally she can trust on. later on, after new intels and information updated to the S.H.I.E.L.D system, she finally discover her family history and learned about Zen Group, and how they have indirectly supporting HYDRA. there was time where she wanted to go by herself and search for any alive Zen Group, but she was hold back by other missions. eventually, she decided to forget them.

after the HYDRA Uprising (CA:TWS), she quitted S.H.I.E.L.D and stayed with Angelino back in his hometown Guam. She was traumatic of being betrayed by her friends who turned out to be HYDRA. Because of this, she has committal issues in working as a team. as to why she left Angelino with his family back in a safe house S.H.I.E.L.D left for them in Guam. this was also the same time she found the information of her grandfather was murdered in an auction bid of items left by HYDRA. after checking the CCTV, she confirmed the man was Helmut Zemo. even though she doesn't really have much good memories with her grandfather, he was the only family she knew at the time. she greatly loathed Zemo for taking the only person she related with, the only family member she knew at the moment.

after then, she moved quite a lot, finding Zemo and her brother. but eventually, she settled in one of safe houses given by S.H.I.E.L.D in Berlin. this doesn't mean she has forgotten about Zemo, deep inside her she know that revenge is never the answer but she still has the urge to avange him every time she remembers him. she decided to stay low as she works as freelancer digital artist, whilst finding more information about her brother. when she heard emergencies of help around the world, she would help out fighting the crime, under the name Sharpearl.


current day:

after the blip, she helped her best protecting her neighborhood in Berlin. until one day, she saw her brother's name, Aron Zen, on news, as a Flag Smasher. though his face was matured, Violet can recognize him, it's her brother. Violet decided to track along The Flag Smasher. she eventually tried to infiltrate the group, but she was taken aback when she learned she has to take Super Serum. before they could get to her, Violet went for searching her brother, to convince him. but Violet's time ran out and she disappeared before she could get the Super Serum. she tried to tattle the group, and that's where she met Sam (again) and Bucky for the first time. Violet immediately remember his face, though it took a long time for Sam to recognize her. "Giggles?" he asked. they took a long time catching up, with Sam jokingly betrayed that her real name wasn't Jessica.

when she heard Sam (and Bucky) was finding Zemo, she joined them. well, at least she followed them around, before eventually getting caught by Sam. she have some plans to avenge on him, though she still have a dilemma whether it's worth it or no. she also go along with their plan to talk with Karli, so she can talk to her brother in The Flag Smashers.

ARON ZEN
violet's younger brother by 2 years. 
+ naive, obedient, diligent, humble
- gullible, insecure, timid, indecisive
 
in their childhood, Aron used to be Violet's partner-in-crime. but he's such an obedient kid who follows rules so well. even until now. when their home was raided by HYDRA, Aron had hid in their bunker, and he was the only one who made it. Violet never knew what Aron went through after the raid, all she knew that he joined The Flag Smashers meaning he wasn't snapped. So, he's now older than her.

after their house was raided, aron was sent to a foster care and was adopted by a family. he led a normal life and studied culinary. his dream was to open his own eatery place. he survived the snap, and when the blip happened, his restaurant he built in the last 5 years was reinstated by the original owners. then he met karli morgenthau, who promised him to restore back what he had.

at the end, violet was able to convince aron and she helped him building a cafe.

SAM WILSON
violet's emergency contact.

violet first meet sam through a mission for SHIELD. violet, under the name 'Jessica Bakhtiar', was under cover as a new recruit for Air Force, and Sam was her mentor. they get along very well, and with Sam's wit, Violet laughed a lot around him. and that earned her a nickname 'giggles' from him. they eventually went through missions together, as violet's order was to gather intel in the air force. after 4 months under cover, violet was asked to pull back and cancel the mission. to her, though, sam was the closest thing violet has as a trustworthy older brother, even though their time together was quite short. she saved her contact as her emergency contact, a list of people she really trust. up until now, sam still remembers her as Jessica Bakhtiar. when they meet later on, sam cant get used calling her 'violet' so he settled with calling her 'giggles'.

HELMUT ZEMO
zemo is violet's nemesis. although, she isn't really sure. he murdered her grandfather, when he was the only family member she knew. violet is sure she wants to avenge on behalf of her grandfather, but she still doesn't think if a revenge can fulfill her.

DR. ANGELINO
Ray Angelino was a physics engineer for S.H.I.E.L.D. now he teaches in a university in Guam as a professor. when Violet wasn't running a mission, she would go hang out with him and help out in the lab, just trying to learn new things. She also used to give inputs for new invention, sometimes she also would stole some of his new creations ones that arent reported to the head yet, she used it if would help a mission in a field. they were each other's place to joke around, tell each other stories, learn together, or just be around well. other agents in the same base have joked them as twins, because of how similar they think.

**later on she'll realize that revenge will do nothing for her. she'll focus on her brother more

last words: phew, that was quite lengthy, isnt it? i'm so sorry for the lame introduction of her :( i hope it doesn't confuse you that she has contradicting traits within herself. i really have so much fun creating this character, i hope you love her! i hope it's okay to add a little more sections so i can explain her a little bit better. i hope i make everything clear, please let me know if there are more stuffs that needed to be explained more. also i'm sorry if there are any language mistakes!

- scenes where violet took quite a minute of thoughts deciding whether she can trust a person or not
- violet learning a new skill from someone else (maybe other applicant's skills?)
