Violet Evergarden

The protagonist of this work. A girl with golden hair, blue eyes, and a delicate voice, she possesses a lovely appearance. During the great war, she served as a female child soldier in the Leidenschaftlich Army, directly under Gilbert, and alone possessed the combat power equivalent to a whole squad, feared under the nickname "The Leidenschaftlich's Doll Soldier," but lost both arms due to war injuries.

After the war, she started working at the C.H Postal Company, managed by Claudia, one of her guardians, as an Auto Memory Doll, engaging in ghostwriting. She cherishes an emerald brooch given to her by Gilbert during her soldier days as if it were her life, always wearing it. She now wears prosthetic arms and usually dons leather gloves given by the mistress of the Evergarden family. Possibly due to her upbringing as a child soldier, she often appears expressionless and lacking in emotional fluctuation. She speaks formally to everyone.

At her first appearance in the anime version, she is estimated to be 14 years old. Her place of birth and birthday are unknown. Being an orphan who knew neither words nor parents (in the original novel, she was described as a "beast" or a "monster" around this time), the name Violet was given to her by Gilbert after the goddess of flowers during her military days, and the surname Evergarden was bestowed upon her by her guardian as that of his family.

She holds Gilbert in such high regard that she would protect him at the cost of her own life.
