Other Violet Liu

Violet Liu, usually known as Other Violet Liu or Boss Violet to distinguish her from the protagonist, is a leader in the resistance movement against the IGR. She is serious, sharp, and demanding in tone and personality, but she works closely with (and has some evident sentimental feelings for) Thasia and was close with and cared strongly for Emily Craddock.

History
Other Violet Liu is a Harmony College alumna who was in the same program as Violet Liu, a year ahead of her (although she is referenced as having graduated in 2183, meaning that she possibly graduated a year early). Violet describes her as being "social" and "well-liked", while also being taller and having better grades. She was an RA during Violet's first year.

During the Events of the Show
This is the Violet Liu who was intended to receive the summons that sent the protagonist Violet on the doomed Starship Iris mission alongside Alvy Connors, but the IGR made a mistake and offered the position to the wrong Violet Liu. Other Violet, meanwhile, rescued Thasia from ADVANCE, presumably fled, and went into hiding. She is now coordinating the resistance movement, and in such capacity assisted the Rumor crew with Plan B.

After the crew of the Rumor (or, then, Iris II) escaped from New Jupiter, Other Violet gave them a new directive for a way they could help the resistance: recruitment of other dissidents or criminals such as Max Gavins and Ignatius Campbell to the cause.
