Character Description
Violet Baudelaire is the eldest Baudelaire, being fourteen for most of the series, and turning fifteen in the book The Grim Grotto (but turns sixteen in "The Fourteenth Chapter".) Brett Helquist's drawings suggest that she has wavy, dark brown hair. When thinking and concentrating on new inventions, she ties her hair in a ribbon, in order to keep it out of her face.
Violet is an amazing inventor, inventing various items such as: a grappling hook that gets her up Count Olaf's tower in The Bad Beginning, a lock pick that enables her to open up Count Olaf's suitcase in The Reptile Room,a signaling device in "The Wide Window", a climbing device made from ties,curtains,and old socks in "The Ersatz Elevator"a invention that frees her and her siblings from the jail in the Village of Fowl Devotees in The Vile Village, some fork-assisted climbing shoes that help her and Quigley Quagmire get up the frozen waterfall of Mount Fraught in The Slippery Slope and many more.
Violet and Quigley Quagmire have slight romantic interest of each other and they both kissed in the book 'The Slippery Slope'.
In The Grim Grotto, it is revealed that Violet's least favorite song is Row, Row, Row Your Boat. She says this is because she hates the line, "Life is but a dream".

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or description:
“Innocence is lovely in the child, because in harmony with its nature; but our path in life is not backward but onward, and virtue can never be the offspring of mere innocence. If we are to progress in the knowledge of good, we must also progress in the knowledge of evil. Every experience of evil brings its own temptation and according to the degree in which the evil is recognized and the temptations resisted, will be the value of the character into which the individual will develop.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
