#Headcanon - Hero Complex
violet is a lot like her father. which can be good. he's brave, loyal ( to causes and people ), genuinely cares about other people but bob has got some bad traits. he's human, those things are what make him interesting. and you can't help but get some traits from your parents. but the biggest one violet got, unfortunately, is the one that almost brought down the whole family. the hero complex.but beyond that, the almost addiction to being a hero.
now, bob's wanting to be a hero comes from a good place. he does what he does to save people. but there's a point where he also does it to make himself feel good. he likes the feeling of being a hero, he loves it. violet is no different. she gets the exact same thing out of being a hero that bob does. confidence, a rush, being something greater than you are without the mask.
though the character development of when she changes as a person from pulled inward to projecting herself outward (like a hero should) is a little subtle the instant she puts on her mask she stands up straighter, taller, prouder. being a hero means being brave, being yourself, being a better you, the best version. even though her confidence improves after she feels she doesn't have to hide and accepts that she's different she feels strong when she puts on a mask. violet is at her best when people need her to be. aka, when she's a super.
sure she'll always be needed in other ways, as a daughter, a big sister, a friend, a girlfriend, etc, but no one will ever need her as much as they need invisigirl. she knows that. she believes that. though she's confident she's insecure in a whole OTHER way now. she walks like a hero, talks like one, but if she was ever put in a situation where she couldn't be a super i don't think she'd adjust like helen did. i think she'd start falling apart like her father.
