Violet Evergarden Plot

Violet Evergarden is the main protagonist of the Violet Evergarden series. Violet is a former soldier who was enlisted in the Leidenschaftlich Army and fought in the war where she was treated as nothing more than a weapon. She lost both of her arms in the war and is now adjusting to life after the fighting has ended.

After the great war finally came to an end, the continent of Telesis slowly began to flourish again. Recovering from her wounds, Violet was brought up by Claudia Hodgins, the president of the CH Postal Company. He was a good friend of Gilbert Bougainvillea, a major in the Leidenschaftlich Army, as well as Violet’s former guardian who fought alongside her on the battlefield.

Claudia attempts to help Violet take the first steps in her new life by bringing her to his Postal Company, where Violet learns to become an Auto Memory Doll – a ghostwriter for people who cannot write or need help expressing their emotions in letters. With the war over, her arms were replaced with advanced metallic prosthetics and she decided to become an Auto Memory Doll to understand the meaning of Gilbert’s last words to her ‘I love you’ before they both collapsed on the battlefield.

Violet makes her own choices and follows her own path for the first time in her life. Becoming a ghostwriter leads Violet on many adventures and also guides her towards self-discovery about human emotions.

It focuses on a side character, Isabella York, and takes place at some point during the timeline of the main anime series.

It picks up after the events of the series and focuses entirely on Violet as the main character. This movie provides closure for Violet’s emotional character arc that was built up across the anime.

While Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll provides an interesting backstory, the Violet Evergarden Movie is meant to be the definitive ending for Violet’s journey. The movies have different purposes within the franchise – one is a side story, while the other wraps up the main narrative. They are separate films that should not be confused as the same thing.
