The eldest child and only daughter of Louisa Thomas, Violetta, does her best to make life difficult for young Anne. Brazen in her attitude towards her, she does everything in her will to make her feel not accepted by her family.

Fussy and troublesome at the best of times, Violetta is determined to exclude Anne from her circle, believing that she is beneath her. Not afraid to speak her mind, she constantly reminds Anne of her father’s mistakes, without care of hurting her feelings. It’s only after certain events occur that a sisterly connection is formed between the two girls, making way for a tight bond to blossom.
