Bio: Born and raised in the kingdom of Mistral, Violet comes a family of talented performers with a rich history in the theater. Her father is noted stage actor Bleu-Pierre Lupin, whose family had originally migrated from Atlas to Mistral many years earlier due to the latter kingdom's reputation for being the artistic hub of Remnant. Meanwhile, Violet's mother is the award-winning playwright Ganetto Lupin (maiden name Yamada), who first met Bleu-Pierre when he starred in a production of her play Letters from a Young Warrior, which tells the story of a young Faunus man fighting in the Great War and how he stays close to his family with the letters he writes to them from the battlefield.
Because of this artistic background, many thought that Violet was destined to follow in her family's footsteps and become an actress, so it came as no small surprise when at the young age of 4 she stood up in the middle of a family reunion and loudly declared that one day she would be a huntress. By age 17 she had graduated from the Sanctum Combat Prep School and was soon enrolled in Haven Academy. During initiation she met her partner Rusty Faraday and was almost instantly impressed by the young Gunslinger's coolness under pressure and impeccable marksmanship. After the initiation trials were complete the two were joined by Darius Gray and Nike Patroklos and became Team VRDN (Viridian), with Violet being named team leader.
During the Fall of Beacon Team VRDN was in the wilds on an extermination mission, and did not know of what had happened until after they had returned. Not long after, they began to notice peculiar changes in the behavior of Headmaster Lionheart and Violet was soon convinced that the team needed to investigate these changes and the reason that three students sent to the Vytal Festival (Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald) had gone missing. Because of the findings of this investigation they were able to learn of Cinder's deception that had gotten the three into the school in the first place, and when they caught wind of Salem's plans they were able to quickly call the Mistral Guard reinforcements that aided in the Battle for Haven. While they have yet met Team RWBY or Team JNR just yet, as Qrow announces that a trip to Atlas is in short order that is soon to change…
