She loves gum, although more to see how long she can chew it than to enjoy its flavor or to freshen breath. She is depicted from illustrator to illustrator wearing jeans and a T-shirt, as a reflection of her tomboyish ways. However, she does show off the ticket, described as 'waving it around as if she was attempting to flag down a taxicab', and says that when she learned of the Golden Ticket contest, she put a moratorium on her gum-chewing, buying Wonka bars instead as a means to test herself. During her press interview, she talks more about her gum-chewing habit than the ticket. Both her parents accompany her to the factory. Violet is described in the original novel as having a 'great big mop of curly hair' and as someone who talks 'very fast and very loudly.' Like Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, and Mike Teavee her nationality is not mentioned (although she hails from America in the films). When receiving the Golden Ticket, she wears a light brilliant cerise tracksuit jacket with ‘Pineapple’ written in silver and silver lining over a white shirt with brilliant amaranth stitching on the collar and matching stars, vivid cerise tracksuit pants with ‘Pineapple’ written in silver and lighter cerise and white tennis shoes. For most of the movie, she wears a light brilliant arctic blue tracksuit with white stripes going down the sides of it and a blue zipper heart, a blue watch on her right wrist, and white trainers with blue designs. In the 2005 remake ‘Charlie and The Chocolate Factory’ portrayed by AnnaSophia Robb, she has slightly tanned fair skin, light honey blonde hair done in a short bob and pale, light grayish cerulean eyes. In the book, she is called Miss Violet Beauregarde and is considered a lady in spite of her bad manners.

Most versions have Violet calling her mother simply 'Mother,' out of arrogance, but in some adaptations, she just calls her mother 'Mom' instead.

Violet is also a notoriously relentless and competitive gum chewer (holding the record for chewing gum), although she temporarily curbed her habit in order to focus on Wonka Bars and search for the ticket. She exhibits a more competitive personality than the five other ticket winners, particularly in the 2005 movie, in which her ambitious behavior is greatly expanded to include her participation in sports and martial arts. In the original book, Violet Beauregarde is the third of the five children to find one of the Golden Tickets, and is the second child to be expelled from the tour.
