Biography
Violet Beauregarde was a ten-year-old girl who hailed from an unidentified European country. She was one of five children to win a Golden Ticket, which afforded her the opportunity to go on a tour of the world's biggest chocolate factory, which was owned by a man named Willy Wonka. Violet was the third child to receive the Golden Ticket, and the second female contest winner.

Violet Beauregarde was bratty and competitive, and completely self indulgent, owing largely to being raised by an irresponsible mother, who only encouraged her worst qualities. Disobeying the directives of Willy Wonka, Violet snatched and consumed an experimental piece of chewing gum, the properties of which consisted of a complete three-course meal as well as desert. The gum proved to be defective, and by the time Violet got to the blueberry pie stage of chewing, she began to literally turn blue and increase in size, taking on a round contour. Wonka had his labor force, the Oompa Loompas, take Violet to the juicing room. As a result, she was expelled from the factory.
