Personality[]
Violet Beauregarde has been described in the novel as a "beastly girl." She has a tendency to disrespect her parents, occasionally snapping at them with phrases like, "Alright, Mother! Keep your hair up!". Her disrespect of authority leads her to flat-out ignore Mr. Wonka's warnings about the Magic Chewing Gum as well as other things, which led to her being taken to the Juicing Room and exiting the factory shortly after.
The most notable aspect of her personality is her tendency to chew gum all day, rarely ever taking it out. She takes great pride in her record-winning gum, along with her many trophies she won. This was likely fueled by her mother, who was determined to make her a champion.
History[]
Early Life[]
Violet Beauregarde was born on January 22, 1953, to Sam and Scarlett Beauregarde. She was a bratty little girl who chews gum to “be a champion” as she put it. She would chew the same piece of chewing gum, saying she “would be a loser, like [Charlie]”. She even broke her best friend's record for longest time chewing one single stick of gum. Violet Beauregarde was the third of five children around the world to receive a Golden Ticket.
Violet's Accident[]
Violet Beauregarde was in the Inventing Room with the rest of the tourists (except Augustus Gloop, and his parents, the former of which was sucked through a giant pipe). Willy Wonka was showing the tour the many inventions in the room, including the Magic Chewing Gum, which was a filling three-course dinner in the form of a stick of gum. Containing roast beef, baked potato, tomato soup, and blueberry pie. Violet snatched the piece of gum from Wonka, ignoring his warning that there were problems with it. While she continued to chew the gum. Her parents cheered her on while Mr. Wonka and Grandpa Joe urged her to heed Wonka's warning.
The gum started the third course, which was blueberry pie which caused Violet to inflate. Violet began to turn blue as she inflated (or as her father put it, Violet was turning Violet), and she swelled up like a balloon (or as Wonka put it, a blueberry) while she was inflating after eating the blueberry pie gum. Violet eventually became a large round mass of blueberry juice encased in her skin, and Mr. Wonka had the Oompa-Loompas send her to The Juicing Room where the Oompa-Loompas would squeeze the blueberry juice out of her.
Fate[]
Later, she is seen doing cartwheels outside the factory, going with her parents to a truckload of Wonka candy; Violet was back to her old self, except completely purple. She also gained extra flexibility via this.
