Violet Evergarden
Violet Evergarden is the main character of the series. Violet is an ex-soldier who, during the war, was regarded as a weapon due to her spectacular martial arts skills.

Violet was an orphan, adopted by the military, and trained as a soldier. She had no emotion and extraordinary fighting strength. In combat, she was under Major Gilbert Bougainvillea, who handled her very delicately.
