Violet Gray[1] is a fictional character featured in the long-running syndicated daily and Sunday comic strip Peanuts, created by Charles M. Schulz.

Violet is best known as a bit of a snob who likes bragging and, along with her best friends Lucy and Patty, often teases and torments Charlie Brown.

After telling her about how his dad would always smile at him no matter how bad a workday he was having, a moved and humbled Violet walked away, but not before quietly wishing Charlie Brown a Happy Father's Day.

"[7] In the early strips, Violet often acted like a preschool-age Suzy Homemaker:[8] frequently making mud pies, playing "house," and being linked to romantic scenarios involving Shermy or Charlie Brown.

By the 1960s, however, Violet, too, was largely phased out with the introduction of the next wave of characters (Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Franklin and such).

Schulz admitted in a 1988 interview that Violet's pure vindictiveness had made it difficult to give her punch lines.
