 Violet (Peanuts) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Violet Gray is a character in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz.
Violet never really developed a strong personality, especially compared to the next three characters who would be introduced after her (Schroeder, Lucy, and Linus).
Violet's most consistent personality trait is that she tends to be a bit of a snob, very conscious of appearances and status.

Patty and Violet were not named when they appeared but I don't think there is any doubt that it was them (except for 4/27/00 when we only saw the back of Patty's head!).
Usually we think of Charlie Brown as being the big loser in Peanuts, and of course he is, but Peppermint Patty's struggles with her looks in this story were as true-to-life as any of Charlie Brown's miseries.
I think Peppermint Patty's contribution to the texture of Peanuts is often underestimated, lost in the midst of silly arguments about whether she's gay.

Lucy, Violet, and Patty are all on the verge of wetting themselves with glee when Charlie Brown comes on the scene, says “Well hello there Charlie Brown…You Blockhead!” and leaves, his dignity somehow intact.

(It was Violet, in fact, who first pulled away the football before Charlie Brown could kick it, in 1951).
While many comic strips tend to date fairly quickly, PEANUTS stands out, not only as an accurate mirror of its times, but as a cartoon classic with ongoing appeal.

"Peanuts" was unique at the time for portraying kids who seemed like real kids, but they also had a wisdom beyond their years, embodied especially by the lovable loser, Charlie Brown, who even in these early years has lost 4000 checker games in a row.
At a time when comics were just entertainment full of adventures and super-heroes, Peanuts gave a new insight into the human soul with its brilliant mixture of philosophy and plain fun.

Patty is the Alpha Female, and the other characters seem to be younger than her…but age is something flexible in the Peanuts universe.
Violet starts out being full-on obsessed with mud-pies, for example…and it’s a trait that’s gone by the late 1950’s…but there’s not a lot to replace it, so by the time the 1970’s roll around, Peppermint Patty and Marcie crowd out Violet and (original) Patty.
It’s a great way to see the evolution of a comic strip in progress, and even though there are probably fewer fans of this period of “Peanuts” than later periods, I genuinely enjoy them.

 You Must Have The Complete Peanuts in Your Comix Collection
However, during my trek through the first volume of The Complete Peanuts, I’ve come to understand that part of what Schulz did in creating Peanuts was create a world where, at least, his fictional self could feel safe.
Early in the strip’s run (the first 27 months of Peanuts’ existence — the strips contained in The Complete Peanuts: 1950-1952), grownups didn’t appear “on panel.” Schulz indicated their presence with a word balloon indicating that they were speaking, but the adults were essentially offstage.
When he calls Violet to inform her that he’ll be late, she tells him that no one even noticed that he wasn’t at the shindig.
