Lowkey obsessed with your version of Violet, do you have any other fun Fallout character headcanons, particularly for the Fiends?
I have so many and they're all so connected I'm struggling to write them out without it turning into an essay soooo here's more stuff about Violet :D
Her title as a Fiend leader is reflects her importance in the community more than an actual leadership position (her circle of people just 2-3 folks, she's not big on hanging out with humans unless they're also very autistic about dogs). Violet's dogs are absolutely indispensable: they're guards for weaker Fiends, sniffer dogs for salvagers, they're service and therapy animals for everyone, and a rare stable and Fiend-owned source of food. Violet dreads the last one the most, but sees it as a necessary part of life.
The dogs are selectively bred and trained, some drug-enhanced, and are well-know in the area. Occasionally non-Fiend members buy dogs from her, especially service dogs and sniffers.
Violet never sells to any Westsider though. Partially because they're the closest hostile force to the Fiends, partially because she sees The Thorn's "creatures bleed FOR humans" worldview as abominable and doesn't want her pack anywhere near it or its kennels. Any unfortunate Westsider gets turned into dog chow.
Cannibal, eats the same stuff as her dogs.
During colder months and/or nights wears a big dog hair shawl. One guy in her small circle of human friends spins dog wool yarn for the Vault's craft club to use.
