===Populace Provided Information:===
====[[Shelby Wyatt]]====
I've been struggling to sit down and write this, but it's time. I can't sum up everything Violet meant to me in a single post but she's worth my trying to capture just a little of her magic.<BR><BR>
Over the last year, I had the incredible privilege of getting to know and learn from and absolutely adore Violet (Danielle). From the moment Muirenn introduced us, I was so excited to become Violet's friend. To have her taken from us so suddenly and unexpectedly is something we are still trying to wrap our heads around. <BR><BR>
Violet was vivacious and vivid and full of so very, very many opinions (many of which we shared, some of which we differed on, and some of which she graciously respected my decision to be wrong on). She taught me so much, held my hand through many projects (including my favorite "Vindheim Viking" outfit), and offered her advice on anything I asked. While neither of us had any siblings, we clicked in a way that always made me tell her, 'This must be what it's like to have a big sister,' for all the teasing and tough love and tears (and not in the 'a little sister has suddenly appeared and now it's the end of the world,' way, although we did get through that season of Buffy together, along with the rest). She would paint my nails and I would brush her hair and we'd talk about everything.<BR><BR>
A year isn't long, not nearly long enough, to have had Violet in my life. We were all robbed of precious time with her and it makes me treasure my memories of her all the more. I especially loved our first solo adventure to King's College and our girls' trip to Crown Tournament with Kelly, and the incredible week we just returned from at Gulf Wars. Getting to see Violet at War was magical (and I can't describe how I delighted in finding and gathering a bouquet of wild violets for her right before we parted). She was big and boisterous and so excited about the ways life was falling into place. <BR><BR>
I saw her a week ago. I hugged her a week ago. Her being gone is radically unfair and feels equally impossible.<BR><BR>
Seeing the way that so many people--many of whom have never met each other but who are connected through the roots she laid down along the way--step up in the aftermath of her passing just shows how wide her reach was and how many lives she touched. I've come to understand what a privilege being her friend is. For now, I'm missing my friend. Next, I'll find a way to put all she taught me into practice. <BR><BR>
Let her memory be a blessing.<BR>
<BR>
====[[Elsa von Snackenberg]]====
Outside of [[Charles the Grey of Mooneschadowe|Charles]], Violet was the person who believed in Vindheim in a way that made it real to me - well before it had an established name, identity, momentum. She and Duncan gave us essential experience-based opinions and hard truths. <BR><BR>
She's gone, and [[Duncan ap Llywellyn]] has moved away, but they are essential Vindheimers in my estimation.<BR><BR>
So say I, <BR>

I've been struggling to sit down and write this, but it's time. I can't sum up everything Violet meant to me in a single post but she's worth my trying to capture just a little of her magic.

Over the last year, I had the incredible privilege of getting to know and learn from and absolutely adore Violet (Danielle). From the moment Muirenn introduced us, I was so excited to become Violet's friend. To have her taken from us so suddenly and unexpectedly is something we are still trying to wrap our heads around.

Violet was vivacious and vivid and full of so very, very many opinions (many of which we shared, some of which we differed on, and some of which she graciously respected my decision to be wrong on). She taught me so much, held my hand through many projects (including my favorite "Vindheim Viking" outfit), and offered her advice on anything I asked. While neither of us had any siblings, we clicked in a way that always made me tell her, 'This must be what it's like to have a big sister,' for all the teasing and tough love and tears (and not in the 'a little sister has suddenly appeared and now it's the end of the world,' way, although we did get through that season of Buffy together, along with the rest). She would paint my nails and I would brush her hair and we'd talk about everything.

A year isn't long, not nearly long enough, to have had Violet in my life. We were all robbed of precious time with her and it makes me treasure my memories of her all the more. I especially loved our first solo adventure to King's College and our girls' trip to Crown Tournament with Kelly, and the incredible week we just returned from at Gulf Wars. Getting to see Violet at War was magical (and I can't describe how I delighted in finding and gathering a bouquet of wild violets for her right before we parted). She was big and boisterous and so excited about the ways life was falling into place.

I saw her a week ago. I hugged her a week ago. Her being gone is radically unfair and feels equally impossible.

Seeing the way that so many people--many of whom have never met each other but who are connected through the roots she laid down along the way--step up in the aftermath of her passing just shows how wide her reach was and how many lives she touched. I've come to understand what a privilege being her friend is. For now, I'm missing my friend. Next, I'll find a way to put all she taught me into practice.

Let her memory be a blessing.

Outside of Charles, Violet was the person who believed in Vindheim in a way that made it real to me - well before it had an established name, identity, momentum. She and Duncan gave us essential experience-based opinions and hard truths.

She's gone, and Duncan ap Llywellyn has moved away, but they are essential Vindheimers in my estimation.

So say I,
Mistress Elsa von Snackenberg, OP, LION of Ansteorra
