“Violet Signs are the universe's eccentrics. Forget marching to their own drummer-Violets built their own drum, and it's probably weird. A good deal of this is natural, but they also have a distinct bent toward contrariness. They are the sorts to give the popular thing a pass. Personable and outlandish, they are ready to make friends with anyone, although if they aren't careful their 'game for anything' attitude can come across as clingy or desperate. When their feelings are reciprocated, however, they are very loyal friends. Politics and humanitarian causes are often very important to Violet Signs, and they will turn their considerable inventive energy into a sort of noblesse oblige, happy to offer their nontraditional approaches to help others. At their very best Violet Signs are artistic and inspired, but they tread the fine line between genius and maniac. Too often their more esoteric interests can come across as perverse or untoward, and they can have a hard time holding their tempers, especially if they feel that they are being belittled or ignored. Intelligence is enormously attractive to Violet Signs, and often an intellectual connection is necessary for them to be attracted to a prospective partner.”

— The Extended Zodiac

The violet blood caste is one of the twelve troll blood castes. The penultimate rung on the hemospectrum, the violet caste is higher than purple and succeeded only by fuchsia.

Concept and creation

During early development of Hiveswap, sea dwellers were envisioned as being "mariner-themed", some wearing swimsuits and using weapons suited to their aquatic lusii. As development went on, however, the sea dwellers were given more individualised personalities to suit the rarity of the caste, leading them to have a much less defined theme than the other castes appearing in the series.

Names

This caste has been referred to as “PURPLIER” than purple and as “royal blood”, a distinction it shares with fuchsia. The name 'violet' first appeared on coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A, and was again used on the Extended Zodiac.

Kankri Vantas refers to members of this caste as “R9yal-Vs”, referencing their royal nature and possibly the first letter of the word violet.
