HISTORY
The Evans didn’t think they would have children. They had married later in life, and they were happy with the way things were. They had discussed it a few times, but it always ended the same way. They didn’t go out of their way to try for a child, and they were surprised after four years of marriage when a test they bought turned positive. Violet came along a few months later, and the little family of three started their lives together.
Violet grew up as a very spoiled only child. She was doted on by both of her parents, and she was given whatever she wanted. No was not a word that was said often in the Evans household. Her father encouraged her to push for what she wanted and to not settle for anything less than the best. That was something she carried with her throughout school, and she always pushed to be the best in her class and earn the top spot.
While Violet was away for school, her mother tragically passed away unexpectedly in her sleep. Her father told her it was something to do with her heart, but Violet was too distraught to fully understand what he was saying. She came home from her boarding school and finished out the rest of her high school experience at a private school in Manhattan to be close to her father. It was during this time she realized how much she enjoyed cooking, but her father pushed her to want more for herself than the life of a chef. The argument between them lasted almost a year before she finally agreed to attend college for a business degree, but only because he threatened to cut her off fully if she chose to go to culinary school.
Her heart wasn’t in her classes for the first year, and she struggled. But soon enough her ambitious nature won out, and she started fighting to be one of the top in her year yet again. Her father was proud of her when she graduated, and he gifted her the keys to her first restaurant after she arrived home from her graduation trip. She poured her heart into the first restaurant and did everything she could to see it succeed. It wasn’t until she stumbled upon her father’s dealings with the Pentavita that Velvet Vine really took off. She joined the ranks of the group and started to assist with cleaning the money they brought in through various means.
Over the years, Violet has opened up two other restaurants, and both also help to hide the influx of cash for the gang. She has plans for a forth restaurant, but she has yet to make any moves toward breaking ground on it yet.
