Who does Violet poison in The Fourth Wing?
Who does Violet poison in The Fourth Wing? Violet poisons a total of five opponents. As a volunteer preparing the breakfasts, she has the upper hand in using her knowledge of poisoned plants to serve her opponents. Her first opponent Oren Seifert is poisoned by Fonilee Berries in his scrambled eggs, which cause imbalance and severe nausea. Her second opponent is poisoned by Leighorrel mushrooms which make it difficult to concentrate. The third opponent is poisoned by Zihna root which causes a person to lose feeling in their limbs. Tarsilla leaves were put in her opponent’s tea and caused blurry vision while Carmine tree bark caused severe nausea. Walwyn fruit peels caused an imbalance to one of her opponents as well.
However, when one of her opponents became ill before the match, she was forced to battle it out with Xaden. He then teaches her how to fight with her body type and leads down a series of events where their dragons are linked together and further embroil themselves into romance.
In the book, Violet is described to be small and is prone to more injuries due to her chronic illness. Yarros opened up about the connection with her character. “Her chronic illness is mine, look at it that way. I have Ehlers Danlos, and my sons do too,” the author told Today. “So it was important to me when I brought the project to my editor, I said, “I would like to include this in there.” And we had a big talk about how representation works, especially because EDS has 13 subtypes. So we wanted to make sure that everyone felt represented. … I knew it’d be relatable because it’s her wits that make (Violet) strong — but I think what surprised me was the number of readers that came to me and said, “Thank you. I feel represented.””
