Violet Evergarden: Another Perspective FanDub
Project Overview
Violet Evergarden!
We have absolutely no ill-will to the original English Dub, in fact, we loved it! What we are aiming to do with this FanDub is something a little different. The world of Violet Evergarden has a very European style to it so we would like to take this FanDub up a notch with a full cast from anywhere within Europe. Now, this doesn't mean others who aren't from Europe can't audition and we will encourage it! What we're looking for is the European accents, accents to sell a early-mid 1900s Europe. If you can pull off any accent from within Europe, go for it! Give us whatever you like whether it be a voice similar to the Japanese Dub, the English Dub, French, or your own! We will be picking based on who can sell the character to us, who IS the character they're trying to portray. If you can't pull off any European accent, still audition here anyway! Give us everything you have! Don't be shy, let us know that YOU are here! Let us know that your voice is the perfect pick for whoever you audition for! And audition for anyone you can! Read up on the character, study the character, watch the series! It's a beautiful series after all!
Also, please state which accent you will be using for your audition! This will help with casting characters that are directly related to one another.
We're still in editing phase with an editor who has done work for TV, but the series will be script ready for you to hop into our Discord server, read the scripts, and perform those lines! Don't worry about lip flaps, or time constraints, we'll make sure that the character you're bringing to life receives the visual edits and video length for you to give it your all! Something we wish we did before starting our first project! Everything's a learning curve, and we hope that this experience will improve you as a voice actor with other voice actors and a voice acting help section!
The Discord is open to the public with separate sections for cast members to hang out in, see snippets and other stuff from the project before the general public, and another that all can access! https://discord.gg/DkZHt7x

Villains Role Closed
We officially have enough villains casted so that role has been closed. We'll continue to keep the male and female extra roles open for a little while longer! We'll also treat uncasted villain auditions as male extra roles from this point forward.
Growing up as an orphaned child soldier in the army who was treated as a mere tool, Violet was not socialized like a regular human being and did not understand human feelings well. She was raised and grew up as a person who had feelings but couldn't perceive or express them. For this reason, she could be mistaken as emotionless. Even before she was found and taken into the army, she couldn't speak or understand speech, only understanding orders to kill. She did not possess any sense of right or wrong from the start; she didn't understand what could be considered righteous or erroneous. She merely chased after the adults who gave her orders. She did anything that was asked of her and always followed orders, which was a trait from her life as a soldier. Even after the war ended and she was discharged from the military, Violet had a habit of using words back from her life as a soldier; saluting, disliking being defenceless, and doing tasks without taking any breaks. She also continued to think of herself as a "tool" and believed that it would be appropriate to discard her if she can no longer be used as a weapon.
Violet is seen to be a persistent, dedicated, and dignified girl, and she is described as someone who is likely to not back away no matter how much others urge her. She has also always been very selfless and determined, which is shown when she refused to leave an injured Gilbert behind, even when she had lost both of her arms.
Violet is also aloof, expressionless and is said to have the attitude and the presence of a doll. Her expressions are mostly deadpan, so it is hard to tell her mood changes. This is why she sometimes has trouble expressing her own feelings and comes off as expressionless, which makes it difficult to get through her, but she will give a smile from time to time. Through her work as a Doll where she helps people write heartfelt letters, she slowly learns about human emotions, leading her to become more skilled at writing letters and conveying her clients' feelings, as well as becoming understanding of others. She is proven to be a good listener and someone who always thinks about other people's happiness.
She also came to value the human life a lot, and she made a pledge to never kill anyone else again since she knows that anyone she kills will never be able to convey their feelings to their families and loved ones again. She never wants to go back to being a tool and deems that she doesn't need anyone's orders to live her life anymore, which was a wish that Gilbert had deeply wished for.
It is a pleasure to meet you. I will travel anywhere to meet your request. Auto Memory Doll, Violet Evergarden, at your service.
These letters are to be delivered to Anne Magnolia for the next fifty years. *gradually begin to let your tears out* But... by the time they arrive... her mother will... She's still so little. She gets so lonely. And Anne's mother has to leave her precious daughter behind. She'll be left all alone... in that mansion. I... I... I had to hold back my tears the whole time I was at that mansion. *crying*
*determined and stubborn* I won't... *shaky inhale* I will NOT let you die here! *attempting to drag Gilbert with your teeth - shocked gasp* Love? What is love? *torn apart - heartbroken* What is... love? I don't understand! Major!
Gilbert is a reserved, stoic and stern man who is stated to be unable to love anyone or be loved by someone else. Being a soldier, Gilbert was required to suppress his sentiments and pleasures, so he feels like he isn't allowed to show his genuine emotions. He feels like he cannot say what he wants to; he didn't have the right to nor does he think that he deserves to. Because of that, he thinks that his heart would be relieved if he earnestly put his thoughts into words. When he doesn't, however, feelings of guilt, regret, bitterness, frustration, anger, and sorrow would mix in his head. Gilbert is a stressed individual, and the frustration of things not going as he wanted would seethe within his head and burst out. He also has a bad habit of ignoring the pain of his conscience and pushing it to the back of his mind. However, when he says something he genuinely wants to say, it gives him a peculiar feeling likely caused by finally being able to muster out his most honest sentiments. He somehow feels that everything has been forgiven by confessing his feelings towards Violet.
Gilbert had an aptitude for the military, and he never felt any anxiety or fear when receiving promotions in the army. He thinks that God had bestowed him with a destiny that matched him perfectly. Gilbert has always felt like there was nothing he wanted to do nor a place he thought he could go to. He had come as far as he had by acting as expected of a child born into the noble Bougainvillea military family, hence he is rather envious of his friends who energetically speak about their dreams. Gilbert has very few things that he likes, and there’s a much bigger number of things that he detests. He simply doesn't say it, but he is not fond of his lifestyle. He states that although he does protect his country, he dislikes the world. He claims that the things he likes are his best friend Hodgins, his inevitably twisted family, and Violet.
Despite being a "pampered rich kid," he has a calm and warm personality with a real character to him. Sometimes, he does have a chilly and blunt personality though, especially when people question the obvious. Gilbert is also acquiescent, but that does not apply to everyone. However, he is also wise and has a strong sense of right and wrong and possesses real empathy. He is not merciless like his brother and is a compassionate and caring man who cherishes the ones he cares for, as he puts their safety above his own. Gilbert is deeply kind and carries strong morals with him, as he believes that his brother's actions in turning Violet into a weapon were sickening. This is why he offered Violet warmth and kindness, something that she had never experienced before.
You'll be staying here. Don't move until I get back. Understand, Violet? You're not a tool. You should become someone who matches their name.
*middle of battle - under heavy fire* Tch! Follow her! *heavy breathing* Okay, Squads One and Two will secure the perimeter and draw the enemy reinforcements in! Everyone left in Squads Three and Four will take control of the cathedral with me! Let's go!
*dying - in severe pain - calmly* Stop it... *Violet isn't listening* Violet stop it already! *calm down - speaking calmly - in pain - sad* You have to live. Violet. You have to live. Be free. *speaking with tears - struggling to form your thoughts to words* From the bottom of my heart. I love you.
Benedict is shown as as slightly short-tempered, uncouth, and stubborn young man, to which his attitude and speech come off as blunt and rude. He isn't very good with words or being respectful, especially when it comes to Hodgins. He has a tendency to face people head-on and has no problem telling people what to do. He also has no problems voicing his own thoughts, but since he is insensitive and oblivious to his surroundings, his words can sometimes offend people and come off as a little too straightforward. Despite that, he is kind and gentle at heart and is considerate of those he cares about. He can even be considered a bit chivalrous, as he stated that he would not let a woman like Violet do a job alone despite her having great strength. However, Benedict said this since he knew that he would be scolded by Hodgins if he made Violet do something exhausting. He can be seen as slightly flirty and charming, as he invited the receptionists Nerine and Lilian to eat the lunch that he had bought for them with him. But when they declined, Benedict was seen to be very upset by the fact that they had turned him down without even appreciating what he had done for them. This is why he thinks women are very calculating these days. However, he is a diligent hard-worker, as the occupation of a postman requires great patience and hard work.
Benedict is generally an easy-going person who is responsible and knows what to do, to which he is good at giving instructions and has strong leadership skills. However, and he can come off as unclear sometimes. Like Violet, he always strives for the right answer and is not above correcting people when something is considered wrong. He is a strong fighter and has somewhat of a rivalry with Cattleya as they constantly argue. He is also shown to be somewhat innocent, as he began to blush furiously when Violet obliviously attempted to change clothes in front of him, and when he overlooked Hodgins and Cattleya share an intimate moment.
*showing Violet the workplace* Put your stuff here. Your uniform. Change. *Violet proceeds to change in front of you - shocked and blushing* Ah! Hey, you! H... Hold on! W... Wait a moment!
*scolding Violet* Yes, it is a problem! *sarcastic* Looks like there was a problem after a... *get kicked by Hodgins* How was I supposed to know?
*sees Violet* Oh, you're back? *spots Cattleya - crosses arms and scowls* Hmph! *arguing* You're the one with the problem!
Cattleya is a woman with intense and passionate emotions. Although she possesses great strength, she is very feminine and can be quite sensitive, and is constantly worrying about her appeal towards Hodgins. She is a very talented Doll who is experienced in love, which is why she is usually put in charge of lovesick clients. She treasures the concept of love, be it romantic, fraternal, platonic, sibling, or companion. She believes that love is necessary for living as it is like a symbol of happy things. However, she states that she doesn't fully understand romantic love and thinks love is uncertain, but can tell when it happens. Cattleya is shown to be a very warm, kind, and welcoming person, which is shown when she instantly warmed up to Violet and helped her with her work as a Doll. She is someone who has realistic a view on life, as she knows that words have different meanings depending on who hears them and that words don't simply tell people everything. She is understanding of people and can easily empathize with others.
Cattleya also has a cheerful, sassy and teasing side to her and is someone who expects favors to be repaid. She is rather straightforward and vehement with Hodgins and enjoys teasing him about his given name, but she doesn't have any bad intentions in whatever she does. She also has a rivalry with Benedict and argues with him constantly. She is a prideful woman who dislikes being casually touched by others, and she also dislikes being alone since it makes her feel as if she has no charm. Although she is self-confident and is considered pompous, she doesn't believe herself to be one of those charismatic individuals who people are naturally gathered around.
Cattleya is a very mature woman who is able to take things seriously and calmly. She is very polite and soft-spoken, rarely seen raising her voice or being provoked by others. However, she is not afraid to voice her opinions or properly scold people when they make a mistake. She is also very physically strong, which gives her the habit of trying to solve everything with force because she has confidence in her physical strength. Despite being a beautiful adult with a mature appeal, Cattleya can actually display a very childish and naïve personality, especially around Hodgins. She is noted to act like a child when things don't go the way she wants, and comes off as honest and blunt. She also likes being praised whenever she does something good. Despite that, she is a reliable person who loves supporting other people as well as when people come to her for advice or help. Cattleya claims that she has an older-sister kind of vibe to her and feels comfortable taking on that role.
Um, first off... How much do you know about what Auto Memory Dolls do? *suddenly realizing* Oh! That reminds me, I haven't introduced the other Dolls to you yet. "Doll" refers to... *Violet tells you she already knows what Dolls is abbreviated for* That's right.
*upset with Hodgins since he told Violet the truth - scold* Why did you tell her? *Hodgins tries to explain himself* Idiot! You always have the worst timing! To top it off, you have no idea how women feel! Hurry up and go find her already!
*Benedict enters the room - scowl - angry sudden noise* Will you get over it already? *arguing* Huh? I'm the one with a problem?
Say something you think would fit
Dietfried is stated to have a flirtatious air about him. Although he has a self-centered and bossy personality, he is social and charismatic, having some sort of quality that draws others to him. He is confident, never claiming to be afraid of anything and always being surrounded and respected by many people, never bashful of it. Since Gilbert could not love anyone due to being too stern, his elder brother had everything he lacked, to the point of making him infinitely envious as a fellow person. Dietfried is also easy-going, preferring to be playful and talk about fun matters rather than being confrontational. But he can also be very frank, and although he tries to come off as lighthearted, his words can be rude at times. Despite that, he can be compassionate; he loves his family deeply and values his underling's lives. He is also hardworking and influential, being the first Bougainvillea to join the navy. Not only had he joined it, but also steadily carved a career path for himself in it. It was all due to his confidence in scoring achievements with his own efforts and talents, even without making use of his parents’ glory.
He appears to have good leadership skills and responsibility, in which he can handle everything quite nicely. Although he possesses a sense of right and wrong and, he can also be cruel and merciless which is demonstrated by his actions towards Violet. He was aggressive towards her and saw her nothing more than a weapon, which is the reason he took her home. He had no problem with ordering Violet to murder people like a weapon and appeared to find enjoyment within this, though this stems from his hatred towards Violet for killing his men. Towards the end of the series however, Dietfried appears much calmer and less cold towards Violet.
Dietfried knows he has been doing horrible things, much worse than Violet had done for a living. But he doesn't care, he knows it will all be over when he dies either way. He has had his own have laments and hardships, and there were also times when he thought dying would be much better. At those moments, he even considered doing so. He feels really guilty for letting his companions die and blames himself for not being able to protect them. He also continues to visit the families of his companions that Violet had killed to give them money. He thinks that rather than dying, it’s harder to stay alive. Despite that, he is confident that he will live on, and expects Violet to do the same despite her mistakes.
*scold and talking to Violet in disgust and contempt* You can't even protect yourself, so, how did you expect to do this without killing? My brother Gil gave his life to protect someone like you? What use is a battle doll who will no longer kill? *yelling in anger and anguish* That's why you weren't able to protect Gilbert! You killed Gil! That's why you should die, too! Hurry up and die!
Violet! *pause* You must live to honour his memory. Live. Live a long life. And then die. This is my final order.
*monologue* Gilbert didn't treat her like a tool as I did. That's why even though she lost both her arms and her master, she will never lose all the important things he has given her.
Erica is a quiet girl who is usually seen in the backgrounds. She isn't confident in her own work as an Auto Memories Doll and is easily swayed by other opinions and takes criticism on her work seriously and to the heart. She also always worries inwardly over her exchanges with her clients and has no confidence in her job. This has led to her timid personality and low self-confidence. However, it is evident that Erica is a strong-willed, very thoughtful and kind girl who will firmly stand to her own opinions.
Erica was motivated into becoming an Auto-Memories Doll due to a certain novelist’s influence, which made her wish she could write texts that resonated with people’s hearts.
*curious and slighty mean to Violet* I was also... You're not suited for it. Why do you want to do this job in the first place? *Violet tells you why* Is that all?
I don't... I don't think we should make quit. She... Violet... is very accurate and fast when she types, and she can do tasks like making membership lists and writing addresses. Once she learns more... I think she'll be able to write letters. So please. Don't make her quit.
*monologue* I'm the one who isn't suited to be an Auto Memory Doll. That's why I got so serious about defending her. Meeting her made me remember my dream, that I had almost forgotten. My feelings which were buried away. Just like my heart was moved by the novels written by Orlando's wife. Someday... I want to write beautiful letters that can move peoples' hearts, too.
Iris is rarely afraid to speak her mind, as shown by her boredom with her job and open expression of disinterest toward ”boring” tasks as a Doll. She wishes to be given more interesting tasks, such as writing love letters to celebrities, which is what she thought she would do when she became a Doll. She comes off as blunt, short-tempered and dishonest, concealing her true feelings towards others. She is also self-confident as she notes that she is amazing and has what it takes to become Leiden's most talented Doll. She doesn't like making mistakes, which is why she isn't quick to admit them. She can get easily carried away and overly excited when she gets requests to write letters.
She sometimes acts and talks very impulsively and without thinking about the consequences, in which she lets her emotions get the better of her when she is upset. However, after realizing what she caused, she will apologize and genuinely admit her mistakes. She is also kind and caring for her close friends and family despite her fierce, sassy, and cold attitude.
Iris is a very hardworking and dedicated woman who doesn't stop trying until she reaches her goal; although she wasn't cut out to be a Doll, she worked non-stop to learn how to write in order to become a successful Doll. Iris also always admired the image of a working woman and has aspired to become Leiden's most popular Doll. She is very passionate about her job as a Doll, and she doesn't want people to underestimate the struggles of becoming one. She is strongly against giving up her work as a Doll in order to get married and settle down at home.
*chuckle smugly - bragging* I'm the only one in my village who became a Doll. I wonder if she heard about me from someone. I'm just happy to be able to go home and show off this uniform. I know all my friends and family are going to want to come and see me. *Erica tells you it's a business trip and not to do anything that would ruin the company name* I know that! *Violet responds saying it was an disingenuous answer* Huh?! What? What did you just... *lose your footing and fall down the stairs*
*get angry towards Violet* You sent him one!? *run off trying to not cry - speak to VIolet calmly* Why did you do that? I didn't want to see him. *Violet asks why not - tears and yelling at Violet* Because he already rejected me! *Violet asks if it was romantic expression of your feelings - crying and yelling* Yeah! That's exactly what that means! *fall to knees crying*
*yell at your mother who came to see if you were alright* You're still talking about that? This is all because of that party! I wish I never came back! You really don't understand people's feelings, do you!?
Aidan had always been kind, confident and considerate since childhood. However, as he grew older and got exposed to the true nature of civil war, Aidan became very scared of dying, he favored exterminating others rather than being exterminated. He only lived with the thought of surviving and returning back to his family and childhood friend as well as lover Maria. Although horrified by it, Aidan was able to accept the fact that all his comrades were being annihilated in the war, which made him traumatized and scarred with everything that happened around him. He didn't want to hurt or kill anyone, not being able to understand the reason why people had to fight and kill each other. As a human being, Aidan felt completely lost about who decided that things should end the way it did. He wished to have never taken part in the war and dreamed of returning back home since he wanted to meet everyone in his hometown again.
It is also seen that Aidan was a very helpful young man with a strong sense of justice, as he would rather see Yale, someone younger than him, survive rather than himself. He would always put people before himself and cherished his comrades deeply. He also wanted everyone, including himself, to live a happy life, free from the conflicts of the war. His parents and his girlfriend Maria meant everything to him, and he is sorrowful to have left them behind before thanking and apologizing to them properly, which he regretted more than anything. However, he was able to rest peacefully as Violet gave him the warmth he required in his last moments and since she promised that she would convey his feelings to his loved ones.
*Leader gets shot* Master Sergeant! Yale! *freaking out* Get down! *one survivor calls out to you not wanting to be left alone* I'm not leaving you behind! *Yale is shot* Yale!! Yale! *gunfire - freaking out* No!! No! I don't wanna die! I'm going to make it home! Maria! *get shot in the side - in pain* I'm going... to make it... home...
*dying - coughing blood* Maria... To Maria. *Violet asks if that's who you'd like to send another letter to* Yes, she's a girl I grew up with. We've known each other since we were kids. She was like a sister to me. She told me she liked me. I think I liked her, too. But I shipped out before we started acting like a true couple. We didn't even kiss. Maria. How are you doing?
*dying - close to death* I can't open my eyes anymore. Are you getting everything down? Violet. Send off the letters... for me. Thank you for helping me. I... I don't feel alone. Please. I need your touch. Oh, I'm getting cold. Father. Mother. Maria. I love you.
Alberta is a very serious, mature, and realistic woman who takes her job seriously. She doesn't let her emotions get the better of her and manages her job effectively, to which she can come off as very frank and is not above scolding Charlotte when needed. Despite that, she is very caring and loves Charlotte deeply, and appears to be emotional as she witnesses Charlotte's growth to a woman as she marries and moves to a new country.
Miss Violet Evergarden from CH Postal Company... is here to request you presence, Princess Charlotte Abelfreyja Drossel, Your Highness.
*elegantly scolding* Princess. I thought I told you about this meeting the other day. Your elegant speech is completely ruined with that appearance.
Princess. I wish you happiness.
Anne is a cheerful and gentle young girl. Like any other child, she is very curious in her surroundings but would be scolded by her mother for doing things she is not supposed to. She treasures her mother more than anyone in the world – even more than her own existence. This is why she is rather jealous when Violet comes along and starts spending a lot of time with her mother, but she grows close to Violet later on as well.
Anne grew up as a rather serious and independent girl, keen to notice everything happening in her surroundings. Since her mother was so carefree, Anne began worrying and deducted that any visitors who were coming for her mother would fool her to get their hands on her money. She also learned ruthlessness, indifference, betrayal, and greed of people through her mother. That is why she believed herself the only one who could protect her mother. However, Anne does act a young girl in her age, she absolutely loves playing, whatever it may be; from playing with dolls, playing with bugs or playing house. She could also be dishonest with her own feelings at times. Anne was also noted to be tomboyish as a child with a straightforward attitude, but as a daughter of the Magnolia family, she was taught to always be polite and graceful.
*playing with your doll* What do you want to do today? *voice the doll* I don't know. Playing house got a little boring. *no longer voicing the doll* Yeah. I wonder when Mommy's visitors are going to leave. *voice the doll* They should go home already. *no longer voicing the doll* *I know. Eh? What's that? *monologue* I saw a doll walking down the path. A really big doll. She seemed like bad news for some reason.
*crying - with some anger in being unable to do* I already know! Momma... I'll be all alone once you're gone! How much longer will I be able to live with you? If I'm going to be all alone anyway, then stop writing some letter and spend time with me now! Please, Momma! Please! Momma! Momma!
*crying* But... But... I'm not... I'm not... I... I made my Mother cry! *hitting Violet* My Mother got sick because I'm a bad girl! So you're wrong! Momma... Mommy... *crying in Violet's arms* Why is she writing a letter?
At first, Charlotte is seen to be a rather naive and slovenly young girl. She is also honest and will freely speak her mind, but she acts as a proper princess when need be. She has no trouble apologizing for problems she causes.
She has a tendency to cry whenever things don't go her way; according to her maid Alberta, she has a bad habit of forgetting who she is when she gets too emotional.
Charlotte claims that she is a crybaby with a short temper, however, she is actually a strong-willed girl, as seen when she claims that she will go hunting with Damian and will not let him leave her behind. She says that she had the education to be a fine match for any man. She is also self-confident as she tells Damian that she is sure that she'll be a faster ride than him.
Charlotte is a very hardworking, tough, intelligent girl who doesn't stop until she reaches her goals. This is shown where she began studying intensively on all the benefits a marriage between members of the Flugel and Drossel royalty would bring to the Kingdom of Drossel. She also laid the groundwork with her father and the cabinet so the Drossel would more likely choose the Flugel family, which they eventually did. She is very caring and holds those she cherishes close to her heart.
*in bed - disinterested* I'm Charlotte Abelfreyja Drossel. I'm set to marry the prince of Fluegel, Damian Baldur Fluegel. You'll be penning the published love letter for me.
*speaking to Alberta - sad - yelling* You belong to me! You snatched me away from my mothers womb. You're the one who raised me! *no longer yelling* I'm the one... *crying* who belongs to you! I've had enough. The letters... and you. Everything. *yelling* Get out! Get out of my sight!
Gone? Of course not. I'm on the verge of crying right now. It was my dream to marry Prince Damian. But I hate that I have to leave my home. But what I really dread is being away from you, more than anyone! Alberta.
Anne noted that her mother was like a little girl. She was vigorous in spite of being a clumsy person, and she would be enthusiastic in every situation. She was fond of boat rides and dog races, as well as oriental flower arrangements that could be found in quilt embroidery. She was a person who loved learning, had a hobbyist side to her, and liked watching romance plays. She was keen on laces and ribbons, her dresses and one-pieces mostly similar to those of princesses from fairytales. She imposed them on her daughter, as she fancied parent-children matching outfits. Clara was also noted to value the beautiful, as Anne claims that the main reason why Violet had been chosen to write the letters was because she was beautiful.
Clara was a very kind, friendly and happy person despite her frail body and short lifespan. She was also very carefree, easy-going and fast to confide in anyone. Raised as a daughter from a wealthy household, Clara was taught to be graceful and polite, traits she teaches to her daughter. She is not above scolding her daughter for something she is not supposed to do. But she has strong parental instincts and loves Anne more than anything in the world, and is deeply saddened by the fact that she has to leave Anne all alone after her death.
Yes. I'd like to get started right away. How about we do it in the sunroom where it's bright?
*collapsed from your illness - Anne comes running out of the house towards you* Anne! *sharp pain* I'm okay. So, please go play in the other room. It's an important letter, but there's nothing more important than you. *Anne doubts you* "I'm not lying.
Anne. Happy eight birthday. There might be many sad things happening, and you might be feeling really overwhelmed right now. But don't give up hope. You might be sad and feel like crying, but don't forget: Your mother loves you very much.
Charlotte notes that he is a very busy man. He is also kind and speaks plainly, though not in a bad way. He sees people for who they are, and not what their status tells what they are.
Hey! No one's looking for you? Go ahead. It's okay to cry. *chuckle at Charlotte* When I saw you at the banquet, I thought you were such a bratty kid. I'm glad to see you cry like this. That was the worst birthday party ever! Even I escaped from it! So I understand why you would want to cry. See yah!
I laughed because you were cute when you acted your age. I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sorry. Although my title is "Prince," my personality isn't exactly that. Don't expect me to be a mature man. We only met that one night. What kind of girl are you?
Leon is a cynical, grumpy, and cold young man. This is because he was treated as an outcast at the Observatory due to being an orphan. He is rather blunt and is not very good with words or respect, especially when it comes to women. He was highly misogynistic due to an event from his past, but his attitude changed after meeting Violet, the first girl he has ever fallen for. His view of women also starts to change after meeting different women who work as an Auto Memories Doll. Meeting them made him realize that they weren't girls who were only after rich men, but women who were serious about their jobs and to convey people's feelings. He knows he's bad with women and initially disliked them, but he doesn't hate all of them and believes that there are good women in the world, such as Violet. He also has a bad habit of associating his mother who abandoned him with anything.
Although Leon has a rude way of speaking, he is actually a very caring, kind and helpful, albeit awkward, boy. As he doesn't want to admit having a soft side, he comes off as dishonest and does not want to admit his true feelings.
He is very passionate when it comes to astronomy, having been interested in it since childhood. As time went on, Leon began thinking about his own future and happiness, as he decided that instead of waiting at the observatory for his parents to return, he'd travel the world like Violet.
I heard that the reason Dolls dress up is because they dream of marrying rich men. They'll go anywhere in the world... peddling around writings requests. At first, that job disgusted me. I wasn't sure why. I couldn't figure out why it infuriated me.
Let's see how you do with this manuscript written in a common classical language. It's an observation record of Ally's Comet from four-hundred years ago. It comes around once every two-hundred years. It'll be observed here at Shahar Observatory soon.
Sit here. There's Ally's Comet. It's easiest to see the tail before sunrise, when it's in the east sky.
Luculia is a very kind, considerate and caring person, which is seen as she offered Violet a bit of her lunch when they had only just met. She likes to keep everything in order and will apologize if she makes mistakes. She also defended Violet's mistakes as a Doll by saying that she was at fault. Despite her past, she is always cheerful and keeps a smile on her face, but will sometimes let her emotions out when she is alone. She is an expressive and sociable girl, but despite that, she finds it difficult to express her own feelings. She is always thinking about others and wants to help them as much as possible.
Violet Evergarden. Despite her doll-like outfit, she had the demeanour... of a military soldier.
When the war began, my brother was drafted. But there wasn't much fighting on the Western Front where he was deployed. The fighting was always taking place far away. So, the war didn't feel real to us. But... one day, my parents went to Herne for business, the Western Front was broken, and then the war ended. My brother came home alive. I wanted to be happy that at least he was alive. But... my brother was angry that he wasn't able to protect Herne. He blames himself... for our parents' deaths. I was just... I was just... *start crying* happy that he was alive. I just want to tell him "thank you." But... I can't. Whenever I think about telling him, nothing comes out.
According to her father, Olivia was a very cheerful and kind girl. Even after her mother died, she didn't show her loneliness and sadness, instead remaining positive. She was a very responsible girl who would help out so her father could focus on his work. Olivia loved her father deeply and was very attached to him. After she became sick, she grew emotionally and physically weak, but with the help of her father, Olivia was able to spend the last days of her life and peace and happiness.
Wow!! I'm so jealous! I want to try crossing this lake too! Do you think I could walk on those leaves?
Oscar describes himself as a normal man with many quirks, and someone who is not fit to be the protagonist in any sort of story. After the deaths of his wife and daughter, he became severely depressed and even left his name in the industry. He also became lazy, dissolute, and grief-indulged. He was rather pessimistic and believes that humans are creatures that easily become tired of being sad or happy, and cannot continuously be either forever. He despised the ugly reality of the world, which is why he started drinking. However, thanks to the assistance of a doctor, he was able to overcome the alcohol and drugs but was left with a tremor in his hand.
Oscar kept to himself and was very secluded from the rest of the world. He did not read newspapers or magazines and rarely hung out with anyone. Other than his friends, the only people he had contact with were cashiers and deliverymen. He was very self-loathing and felt extremely guilty for being the only member of his family left alive, wishing instead to die along with them. Despite that, he has shown to be a responsible, supporting, and kind man with a playful side to him. He also deeply loved his wife and daughter when they were alive, as he was seen to be very selfless and would often put their happiness above his own. His family meant everything to him.
Although he wanted to get back to the writing industry again to honor Olivia's, his daughter's memory, he simply could not progress properly. The desire to write, however, had remained in his chest. Eventually, with the help of Violet, Oscar successfully writes a play and comes to terms with his daughter's death and that he is alive. After recovering, Oscar returned to the playwright industry, now appearing as a happier man.
*hoarse voice - drunk(ish)* As long as you can type. My health hasn't been the best, but I can't write unless I drink!
*angry - upset* Stop it! Please, stop. That's enough! *calm down* That's enough. Go home. I can't write anything anymore.
*reminiscing of your daughter calling you Dad and the time you spent together - slowly start crying* How I wish I could hear you call me that a thousand times more. I wish... you didn't have to die. If only you could have lived... grown up... How I wished that for you.
Rhodanthe is a rather serious woman who is seen as strict at the Auto Memories Doll Training School. She is not afraid to call out her students on their mistakes and will be rather blunt about it. Despite that, she is serious about her job and hopes that talented woman will become Dolls worthy of the title by understanding people's feelings and expressing them on paper.
All of you, welcome to the Auto Memory Dolls' Training School. You'll be considered absent on your second tardy.
Now that the war is over, the demand for Dolls have never been higher.
Spencer is a drunkard and is constantly seen in a drunken state. He often gets kicked out of bars and is therefore seen getting involved with a lot of fights. After the war, it is also apparent that he grew more short-tempered and easily loses his cool. He isn't very productive at home as he is either sleeping or drinking, leaving Luculia responsible for the housework. He believes himself responsible for his parents' deaths, causing him to be depressed and have low self-confidence. However, later on, he eventually slowly recovers and starts to appreciate Luculia's thankfulness for him coming back home.
*drunk* Come on, don't be like that. Just one more. I haven't had a drink because he won't let... *topple over* Dammit...
*very beat up - swollen - in pain* You. You're Luculia's friend. What's this? A letter from Luculia? *reading Luculia's letter* To my Brother. *tearing up from the letter* I'm happy... I'm happy that you are alive. Thank you. *sniffling cry*

Although she is a bit surprised by Violet's eccentric behavior, she genuinely cares for her. She is also deeply saddened by her son's death and misses him dearly.
Welcome. Doesn't it take three days from Enchaine now?
This is for the villains in the last few episodes, including those in the bar scenes with Spencer that we'll categorize as "villains". Auditioning here will make sure you get a villainous extra character role! Including named villains!
*laugh* Come back when you've got more fight in yah.
Stop. I know who you are. You're the soldier maiden of Leidenshaftlich. Why are you here?
For the many of the background characters that are rarely seen, or just aren't as proactive to the story as minor characters are, and because perhaps we got lazy and didn't put more named characters here!
Hm? Can I help you?
*laugh* Don't worry! Nothing to worry about!
*in war* Fire! Cover your flank!
