Violet is a dreamy girl who is described as having long, thick hair and being small and skinny for her age.

She is always away in her own world, filled with fairies designed by her favorite author, Casper Dream.

Moving on in the story, a new girl, Jasmine Day, comes to Violet's school and she chooses her as a friend.

Even though she adores Will, Violet refuses to spend a day with him, to go to Brompton Woods, and instead chooses to go to Jasmine's house.

Later on, Violet's father says that they are to go to their Gran's house to wish her a happy birthday, but Will refuses because how she had charmlessly told him that he was adopted.

In the attic, Violet finds out that she used to have another brother named Will, but he died shortly after he was born, so her parents tried to replace him with her Will.

Will gives Violet a note to tell her to look out her window at midnight and she sees her fairies hanging from the garden tree, repaired by Will.
