About Agent Violet Valentine - Poison Ivy
Violet Valentine
In the world of espionage fiction, Violet Valentine is the ultimate spy, shrouded in mystery and intrigue. She operates in the shadows, navigating dangerous missions, uncovering secrets, charming and outwitting her adversaries. Her skills include deception, a sense of humour, grit, disguise, combat, and seduction. Whether she’s infiltrating enemy organisations or preventing global catastrophes, Violet is a force to be reckoned with.
Her Story
In 1946, Captain Arthur Valentine RAN - finds an abandoned child on a train in London. All he knows is that she has a noble and Baltic background.
He raises her as his perfect Athenian Spartan daughter, naming her Violet for her unique eye colour. She enjoys an ideal life at Clifftops until she is sent to Boarding School aged 14; where she retreats into isolation. She is tempered in fire, bullied and alone. The perfect clay for a spy in the world of Cold war espionage.
At 16, her father dies under mysterious circumstances, almost certainly murdered, leaving Vee - as she now calls herself - to become a resilient, multilingual athlete and fighter. She also learns the art of charm and compassion.
On her 21st birthday, she survives a brutal beating at the hands of the KGB, seeking the information her Father left her. Urged on by her estranged and scandalous Aunt Diana and the even more mysterious Lord Balmoral, she joins the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS).
Vee, a charismatic and solitary loner, is the ideal asset with no emotional attachments. She trains at Swan Island and, upon completion of her training she is code-named Poison Ivy.

Violet Valentine vs "The Home Front"
Violet Valentine deals with prejudice and entrenched attitudes of the 1960s within her own spy organisation as well as enemies offshore. No matter how many espionage-related battle scars she bears. Her superiors see her as either a precious object or a cheeky daughter. Her peers either see her as an "Experimental token spy girl" or want to sleep with her. Welcome to mid-1960's Australia!
