[edit] Background

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Violet was the wife of a respected doctor prior to the events of UltraViolet. She was just announcing to her husband that she was pregnant when a hemophage broke into the clinic in search of transplant blood. Police forces stormed the building and shot the hemophage, contaminating her with infected blood. She was immediately quarantined. While in quarantine, government doctors aborted her child for use in medical experiments, and later falsely informed her husband of her death. Several years later, she escaped and attempted to make contact with her husband, only to find that he had remarried. She then joined the hemophage resistance, her anger and obsession enabling her to easily master their specialized martial techniques and become their most deadly fighter.

[edit] Name

Violet's surname, Shariff, is probably a variation on the Arabic word Sharif. In the Islamic tradition a Sharif is a direct blood-descendant of the prophet Muhammad. Her middle name Jat is an sikh/hindu surname/caste. Her middle name song is a chinese surname.

[edit] Violet's clothing

According to the novelization, the clothes Violet wears is a 21st century fad known as mood clothing, so each change in color reflects Violet's emotional state at the given moment. The cloth itself is an OLED material capable of reflecting virtually any image or color. Every strand of her hair is covered in a microsheen of optical polyurethane, allowing her hair to have the same effect.
