Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll - Characters & Cast

Violet's motivation is to fulfill her duties as an Auto Memory Doll to the best of her ability and to help people connect with one another through letters. This is an extension of her overarching goal in the main series to understand the meaning of "I love you."

While the film is not primarily focused on Violet's own arc from the main series, it showcases her growth and the impact she now has on others. She is more emotionally aware and empathetic, able to understand and guide Isabella. She acts as a gentle and supportive mentor to both Isabella and Taylor, helping them to express their feelings and pursue their goals.

Her primary motivation is the well-being and happiness of her younger sister, Taylor. She endured being separated from Taylor and entering the noble York family to ensure Taylor would be cared for.

Isabella begins the film as withdrawn, cynical, and seemingly resigned to her fate in a prestigious but stifling academy. Through her friendship with Violet, she rediscovers hope and finds the courage to acknowledge her past and reconnect with her sister through a letter. This act of reaching out signifies her emotional release and acceptance of her situation for the sake of her sister's future.

Taylor is motivated by a desire to "deliver happiness" just as a letter once brought happiness to her. She also wishes to one day personally deliver a letter to her sister, Isabella, to show her that her sacrifice was not in vain.

Taylor's arc is one of determination and growth. Inspired by the letter from her sister, she transforms from a young, orphaned girl into a determined individual with a clear goal. She actively seeks out the CH Postal Company and works hard to overcome her illiteracy to become a postman, demonstrating her resilience and unwavering optimism.

As a postman for the CH Postal Company, his primary motivation is to deliver mail. However, through his interactions with Taylor, he is also motivated to help a child in need and recognizes the importance of her personal mission.

While his arc is not central, Benedict shows a softer, more mentoring side in his interactions with Taylor. Initially reluctant to take on a child apprentice, he grows to care for her and actively helps her achieve her goal, even tracking down Isabella to deliver Taylor's letter.
