Case history

Violet lore

Violet immigrated to The Cursed Apple when she was 12, and while there was a certain amount of culture shock to adapting to New York, she quickly fell in love with the vibrance of the city. Dedicating herself to the pursuit of the arts, Violet's passion lead her to successes far beyond most of her peers.

First, a full ride to art school.

Then in her junior year, inclusion in MOMA'S prestigious celebration of student artists: "The Upstart Gallery".

By any measure she's doing phenomenal for her age, however Violet has not been able shake her existential dread of dying a failure. She knows that commercial success as a fine artist isn't about being good enough. It's not even about being great. It's about being seen by the right person at the right time. And so she has set her sights on The Ritual... not to embellish on her own talent, but just to have a chance to show the world what she can do.
