Violet Heaslip

Violet Heaslip is a supporting character on the series WordGirl, voiced by Maria Bamford. She is Becky's best friend and is likewise ten years old. She shares her friend's love for unicorns, pegasi, and animals, and unlike Becky she has notable artistic skill. She conducts herself with a very shy, soft-spoken, poetic and day-dreamy demeanor; she did not even display fear when a meteor was coming right at her, even creating a poem on the spur of the moment about the occasion. She often seems to have a tenuous grasp of reality.Despite her closeness to Becky, she is unaware of her friend's secret identity of WordGirl.

She becomes bolder when any of her friends are treated poorly or endangered and stands up for them as best she can. Violet also has a white, presumably Persian cat named Fluffy, which accompanied Bob on the class' field trip to Zachary Zany's Candy Factory and also joined her for trick or treating as Captain Huggyface to her WordGirl costume in the episode "Tobey's Tricks and Treats."

As well as her best friend, Violet appears to be Becky's artistic mentor, deduced by the two of them painting together in several episodes. This implies that Violet cares a lot for Becky, enough to try to improve her skills in something she's atrocious at. In staying with her kind and compassionate nature, she also is more friendly to Tobey than other characters, even making an attempt to comfort him in "Tobey's Tricks and Treats". When they were very young, Violet beat Tobey in a game of checkers, thus causing the boy to avoid the game, yet still desire to become a checkers champion, which led to the events in the episode "Monkey-Robot Showdown."

In the episode "Violet Superhero", Violet becomes "The Framer" and imagines she has superpowers, but she gets defeated by The Butcher.

In 'Tobey Goes Good,' she enters the Young Inventors Challenge and Friendly Competition with a dual Egg-and-Apple slicer she made with Becky (who used a little super-strength to hold the pieces together), and won the competition thanks to the judge's love of free food. Later, WordGirl used the slicer to defeat Tobey's robot, earning Violet yet another trophy (as her invention saved the day). This trophy was later stolen by Victoria Best, and eventually returned by WordGirl.

In " Birthday Girl" Violet found a way to shrink the birthday girl down to Eileen. By tricking her into doing something generous, instead of something greedy. Violet and Eileen actually have the same birthday (Eileen's real birthday).

Trivia

 * It is known that Violet and Bob are really good friends. But in Too Loud Crew, when Bob talks, Violet seems to understand him. It is possible that Violet knows what Bob is saying, just like Becky.

"One day I look up to see, a meteor headed straight toward me! If I weren't tied, I'd run and hide... Oh! Okay! Monkey ride!"
