In the book Catch Me if You Can (which was presented as truth but has since been challenged; I’m not sure where the alleged truthiness stands now) the author, who in the story is a scam artist who regularly claims different names, says that he always kept at least one initial to maintain a connection to his real self.
I’ve read several stories of shapeshifters (these I suspect to have less truthiness) in which the character always maintains some aspect of themselves (usually eye color, I think) for similar reasons. I recently watched a YouTube video about Impossible Man which says that he (almost) always maintains his color scheme, but voluntarily.
So I wonder whether violet will always have “violet” in her name. A while ago she made a post saying that she originally chose it because it was, IIRC, her favorite flower.

Hey man violet is a delight and quite amusing. I for one enjoy her contributions. More people should be more sex positive. Being uptight about that shit is fucking lame.

I’m not uptight about it, my client doesnt show me the username of the post before I click it, so I get to guess whether the hornyposting is violet or not.

On voyager at least, that’s simply a conf setting in the app that you can select

Didn’t it turn out that the character was supposed to be like 16 or 17 though?
