In the Bad Beginning, Snicket describes Violet as having pleasant facial features like her siblings. Prior to the demise of her parents, she liked to visit the Verne Invention Museum and enjoyed many of its exhibits, including one of the mechanical demonstrations that had inspired her to be an inventor when she was just two years old.
