- I'm sick, perfectly sick
- You've deprived me of all my songs
- You've drained me of all my words
- Yet I believe I had talent before your skin
- This love is killing me
- And if it goes on I'll die alone with myself
— Lara Fabian - Je Suis Malade

Well Known Face: Violette is a well-known musician who has been on national television on many occasions, played large concerts around the world, and been in the news any number of times. If you think there's any reason you might recognize her, you probably do. (Fame  )
That Voice: Launched into the national spotlight by her appearance on The Voice at the age of 17, where her blind audition included a demonstration of her six octave range, Violette went on to win her season. That victory lead to a music career that saw her producing albums and touring worldwide.
Mental Illness Advocacy: From the very beginning of her appearances in the public eye, Violette was open and honest about her experiences with mental illness, in particular with schizoaffective disorder. She spoke about it candidly, lead awareness campaigns, and generally worked to increase understanding of the reality of what her life was like. She's spoken about it in interviews on talk shows in addition to during her time on The Voice, and even done a TED talk.
Vanishing Act: For about four months just a couple of years ago Violette simply vanished. She didn't show up for a large concert, didn't answer her phone, and as far as anyone could find, she was simply gone. There was a police investigation, news reports, many theories about what might have happened to her, and a lot of assumptions that she'd been killed for one reason or another. Then she just showed back up, and since then has been unwilling to talk about what happened or to perform. In fact, rumor has it she often refuses to talk at all.
Changeling: Among the Lost who know her, the fact that Violette's brief disappearance was due to time spent in Arcadia is a pretty obvious guess, even if she never told them that outright. She doesn't really keep it a secret with the Lost, though.
Viridian Song: Violette's Keeper was the Queen of Mirrors, and given the nature of her appearance very few of those who were also captives there wouldn't immediately recognize that fact; the green neon glow she gives off is unmistakable. The soft, strange musical hum she emits probably is too, like the quiet sound of a high-powered neon sign, but with musical intention.

Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out
- And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
- So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
- And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
- It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
- 'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
- Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
- Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

Eliza Rickman - Cinnamon Bone
- Crawling flat on broken glass
- To you, to you, to you
- Scratch it up and turn
- Catch a fire and burn

- To you to you to you

K.Flay - It's Just A Lot
- I saw a film and cried
- Cause beauty has a way of crushing me
- I took a pill and sighed
- Cause I've done things against which I believe
- Oh, I think of you at night when my mind won't stay quiet
- And I've got someone sleeping peacefully at home
- But peace don't reach my bones
- The sadness still remains and though I sing the same refrain
- It all amounts to no one knows

- And I will give up this fight

Asking Alexandria - Alone in a Room
- I've been away a little while,
- Sometimes I just can't help myself
- When my mind's running wild
- I seem to lose grip on reality
- And I try to disregard
- The crazy things the voices tell me to do
- But it's no use
- I tried to own it, write songs about it
- Believe me, I've tried; in the end, I needed to breathe
- Find inspiration, some kind of purpose
- To take a second to face the shit that makes me me
|
Corey Taylor - Snuff
- Angels lie to keep control
- Ooh my love was punished long ago
- If you still care, don't ever let me know
- If you still care, don't ever let me know

| Mask:
A woman slightly on the taller side, with short blonde hair and blue eyes.
Mien:
Violette's mien looks like someone formed delicately blown glass into the form of a woman, and then suspended bright green neon gas within that vessel. The distinction of her edges comes largely from the width of the glass, which stops her from being an indistinct glowing figure and outlines her. She also emits a constant soft sound, a bit like the soft buzzing of a high power neon sign but more musical, which shifts in its tone from time to time in accordance with her moods.
Mantle:
The scent of post-rain petrichor, the sweet floral scent of gladiolus, and a damp bed of moss that surrounds places where she touches the ground, leaving rapidly fading patches in the wake of her footsteps.
