Violet is characterized as a snob. She often teases the other characters because she thinks she is superior to them. This has caused them to be irritated at her. However, she sometimes stops from bragging. In the early strips, Violet often acted like a preschool-age Suzy Homemaker: making mud pies, playing "house," and being linked to romantic scenarios involving Charlie Brown. She also collects stamps as a hobby. On some occasions, Violet was shown walking and keeping company with Shermy. Her surname (Gray) was mentioned only once, on April 4, 1953.
