I'd like to point out that there's a Lovecraft tale called Pickman's Model that may be the inspiration here. The tl;dr is, ostracized artist seems to have entered a Faustian bargain (willingly or not) with some sort of demon; has the ability to paint anomalous moving paintings, but has to occasionally literally fight his demons with a gun.
My guess is she got in contact with dark powers to get her magic abilities, and now can't escape the deal. Sort of like Geist.
The more likely inspiration for Violet might be coming from a Chinese myth about a demon who painted themselves to take on a human form of a beautiful woman. Would definitely track with her broken vote poster featuring a similar green skinned demon.

Her poster auving her turn into a monster is a hint imo, could a be tank in disguise
