Violine is an orphan. This fact doesn’t involve any dramatic incident that would make of Violine an extremely tormented and depressed little girl, even though she could be happier. Moreover, it must be specified that this sentence isn’t entirely true.

Her father disappeared quite a long time ago during a research trip on magic in nomads’ culture, in Australia. This happened just after Violine’s magic first surfaced, just before her world started to fall apart.

She remembers it as an incredible event, which it was, but it truly wasn’t as impressive as she remembers it. She was four and a half, and she already knew how to read just fine. She was not, however, tall enough to reach a certain shelf, on which happened to be very shiny books. Violine’s face turned red and she started whining (or uttering some smart spells, as she likes to say, although it’s far from true) and every book in the bookshop started to fly above her head. Or at least that’s what Violine tells. Her mother, who arrived at this very moment, would qualify the story, saying the shelf magically ejected a few books which levitated for a moment before falling on the ground. But Violine’s mother had just read the terrible letter that announced her husband’s disappearance, and she was already quite different.

Violine’s mother is, therefore, alive and well… Or let’s just say she’s alive. Having developed monomania since the disappearance of her beloved, she lives only through and for her books – those may give her an answer one day – in her small and messy neighbourhood bookshop in London. When she forgets to eat for a few days, she generally earns a short stay in St Mungo’s Hospital.

Since she was six, Violine has been staying by different foster families, most of them she drove mad as she kept trying to escape to go back to her mother’s, who wouldn’t bare losing her little girl too.
All those not so common experiences made of Violine a strong and independent girl. She has big dreams and a thirst for learning and travelling, to find her father and to put an end to her mother’s misery. Even if she has learnt not to get too attached to people, as they tend to come and go, Violine deeply cares about others.

Violine has long messy red hair, even when she tries to do something with it. It’s just as wild as her imagination. Her rather pale complexion doesn’t do justice to the countless times she spent trying to escape or playing outside with her host brothers and sisters.
