Appearance
Violetta is a striking Siltori woman, with bright lavender skin complimenting the silver rune across her chest. Long limbs and broad shoulders are balanced by a subtle hourglass shape. Thick waves of light ashen hair (oft-dyed) hair cascade wildly down to the small of her back. Her almond-shaped eyes are a deep, rich violet interspersed with silver. They stare out from an oval face with a slightly squared jawline.

Violetta seems shy and reticent on first impression, though her dry humor entertains friends and acquaintances alike. Her love of history and deepening fascination with various cultures finds her seeking work as a Researcher in one of the city’s many museums. She’s thoroughly unimpressed by the pomp and circumstance of the upper classes, but willingly genuflects as needed. After all, she may need them someday. Violetta is also compassionate and caring, with a deep appreciation for the fine arts. In her leisure, she can be found at performances everywhere from the Luxium to the Umbrium.

History
Violetta was born Violetta d'Saicchhe-Grihofe in Auris to Siltori parents. Her mother was a skilled elemental mage with a deft control of the environment. Her father sold enchanted talismans, traveling from port to port for most of the year.
As Violetta grew older, her father’s sales trips grew longer. She remembers waking up to muffled arguments in the next room of her partents’ modest abode, after her father stumbled in from the pub during the wee hours of the night. Yet her family was united in insisting that the young Violetta live up to her potential. Her father’s side were respected traders throughout the smaller desert cities, and he expected her to learn Runeforging as per his family’s tradition.
Violetta’s mother disagreed. She instead taught her daughter the ways of elemental magics, inscribing a rune of elements on Violetta’s eighth birth day. The rune took the shape of a silver curlicued flourish across her chest that glows brightly when her powers are utilized.
The distance between her parents grew larger. Violetta last saw her father before he departed on a merchant trip to Solunarium when she was 9. Despite their fiery relationship, Violetta’s mother became drained after his disappearance. Her control over the elements steadily decreased, until she stopped using her powers entirely. She succumbed to a severe fever five days before Violetta turned 20.
Violetta was devastated by her mother’s death. She became determined to avenge her father’s abandonment by finding success abroad. Her first step was declaring her respect for the maternal side of her family choosing her mother’s surname: d'Saicchhe. Eschewing help from city mates and distant relations, she set off to make her mark in Solunarium.
