Purple is a purple-colored, short, round-bodied astronaut-like creature. They wear a navy blue cap and shirt, with a gold badge and darker blue tie. They have a purple backpack. When younger, Purple would only wear a brown cap, similar to Green's. Purple used to go by both "Violet" in middle school and "Indigo" in college, as proven by the last episode. As proven by "Insecurity In Security", Purple was an intern with Red who wanted to become a whistleblower. They worked in a poorly staffed place relying on fumes. However, one day, the two failed to stop a reactor disaster, leading to a massive explosion and Red signing a corporate non-disclosure agreement with MIRA, to Purple's betrayal. The colony they lived in was uninhabitable and the people living there had to migrate. Purple would eventually become a security guard thanks to Red pitying them. Following this, they would inhabit the Skeld, raising a fish called Heracles, so they wouldn't be lonely. Purple is often on high alert ever since an accident with Red a while ago, keeping them on their toes. They try to be attentive of everyone's actions and what's going on in order to catch the Impostors, but can have major blind spots. They can be very secretive, but aren't very good at being subtle about it. Purple can be smart and resourceful when they want to be. In fact, Purple, as proclaimed by Green, is one of the smartest and most sensible Crewmates on the ship. She can also demonstrate a good amount of empathy, as shown by when they comfort and befriend Cyan after Cyan's falling-out with Black, for example - though Purple expresses a dislike of having to deal with other people's feelings. Her past with Red affects how they interact with others. Purple holds resentment towards Red throughout the whole season and refuses to work with them, even to the point of being counterproductive. Though, at the end of the show, the two manage to reconcile and Purple begins to view Red more favorably.
