Violet Evergarden

Violet Evergarden is the unforgettable heroine of her titular series — a former child soldier who lays down her weapons to learn the meaning of the last words she was given: "I love you."

Background

Raised only to fight, Violet knew nothing but the battlefield until the war ended and left her adrift. Taking work as an Auto Memory Doll — writing letters that put others' feelings into words — she slowly begins to understand the emotions she never learned to feel.
