Violet Evergarden

In the light novel, Violet Evergarden, by Kana Akatsuki, takes place around the 19th century and one of the characters I find unique would be the main protagonist, Violet, who at first was presented as a very young soldier with the lack of human emotions. She first appeared writing a letter to her commanding officer, Gilbert, on a hospital bed in a nearby village after she was drastically injured during a the final battle of a war, which more details will come later in the story. Few moments later, she was visited by Gilbert's friend, Claudia, who was tasked by Gilbert to take care of Violet for the time being and takes her to his postal company to let her work there. While Violet was exploring her job choices in the postal company, she had an interest in the, "Auto Memory Doll" Service, which consists of ghostwriters typewriting their customers feelings into words on paper. She had an interest of the job, but not only to learn more human emotions, but also learn the meaning of, "I Love You", last spoken from Gilbert during the end of the war. As the story progresses, Violet has been learning about her customers emotions through their own stories and have empathy towards them, while developing her own emotions as well. Not only did she learned more emotions, but she learned about Gilbert's relationship between her. Not only as her commanding officer, but as a true friend, taking care of her and being alongside with her for those 4 years of war.

The reason I find Violet interesting is because of her amazing transformation throughout the story. To learning about her origin story of being an orphan with no education of the world and living in the military to now having a purpose in life of being a ghostwriter, alongside with her new companions that she met along her journey. Violet is the type of character to be straight forward with anything and is determined to seek out knowledge to any task she interests in, as seen in the novel. I admire any protagonist who had been troubled in their life to making the best of themselves later on in their story. Violet can be liked by so many people, not only they could relate to her, but liking her because of her development, throughout the story, of becoming who she really wants to be with a new purpose in life.
