Meet Violette, 1834
Violette Metoyer belongs to @getintothesun. LIke Héloise, she lives in New Orleans, but their lives are very different! Here are the references for VIolette's looks and her meet outfit.
And here's a taste of Violette's story:
Violette is a free person of color growing up in 1830s New Orleans. She loves to read and play piano. She has a highly developed sense of right and wrong, and wants to fight injustice as much as she can. She doesn't understand why some black people are enslaved and some aren't. Or why she lives in a big house and others don't. She goes to a small girls school in the city, where she learns subjects like science, math, and latin. Her parents want the best for her, even if they don't understand why Violette wants to learn "heavy" subjects. She also enjoys dressing well, and going shopping with her mother. She has a pet cat. She has two best friends - Eloise, who she goes to school with, and Celine, who's parents are friends with her parents. Her friends don't get along with each other, as they are very different, and this is hard for Violette. She is Catholic and attends Mass regularly. One of her favorite people, an elderly woman at her church who is always kind to her, dies in a yellow fever pandemic.
