Violet Parr
Violet Parr is a fictional character who appears in Pixar's animated superhero film "The Incredibles" (2004) and its sequel "Incredibles 2" (2018). The eldest child of Bob and Helen Parr (Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl), Violet is born with the superhuman ability to render herself invisible, as well as generate force fields. Voiced by Sarah Vowell, Violet is a shy junior high school student who longs to fit in among her peers, a task she believes is hindered by her superpowers. Throughout the course of the films, Violet gradually matures and becomes more confident in herself as both a young woman and superhero.

IndieWire contributor Oliver Lyttelton observed that none of the film's casting decisions were "as unexpected" as Bird's decision to cast Vowell. Vowell has said that, like Violet, she herself "is a little smart-alecky and also has a weird dad with a strange hobby", and found the unique dynamic between Violet and Bob to be similar to her relationship with her own father, particularly the affection that both her and her character feel towards their respective parents that is concealed beneath a combination of sarcasm and confusion. Vowell expounded that she tends to resemble "a wise guy" in conversation with her father and believes that her tone of voice possibly influenced Bird's decision to cast her as a "teenage wise guy." Vowell admitted that she shares Violet's "inability to stop pushing people's buttons", citing their tendency to voice their opinions about any given topic and gift for making various situations awkward as similarities.
