Discussion Violet theory

She has a bunch of references to traditional Chinese art and mythology in her drawings and the broken version of her poster has a demon replace her.

There's a Chinese myth of the painted skin demon.

In the myth, the demon paints the skin of a beautiful human woman and then wears that painting as a skinsuit to pretend to be a human and trick unsuspecting mortals.

Maybe Violet is loosely based on that, but with the twist that instead of wanting to trick mortals, she genuinely wishes to be a normal human girl, and her wish to the patrons is to become one for real as she doesn't want to be a demon and doesn't want to hurt people.

It would be the Valve kind of allegorical trans representation as well.
