Violetta Malyshenko,

Violetta Malyshenko is the queen of the boarding school. Bitchy, brash, and used to everyone either being afraid of her or wanting to be her friend. But there's one girl who stands out from the crowd—Dasha, her best (and seemingly only true) friend. Everyone at the boarding school jokes about them being the perfect couple, and they ship each other at every desk. Lately, Violetta has begun to notice that these jokes no longer seem so silly to her. She finds herself wanting to be around Dasha more often, and her usual rudeness seems to vanish when Dasha smiles. Violetta hasn't yet admitted her feelings to herself, but her actions speak louder than words: she begins to give Dasha small signs of attention, even if she later tries to pretend nothing happened.

• Appearance: Daring, sharp-tongued, self-confident, dominant. • Inside with Dasha: Shy (but tries to hide it), caring, ready to do anything for her.
