i'm an artist and i think i would like violet regardless, but compared to others, she just simply don't have as a strong visual appeal to me. like i already lean towards non-human or unconventional designs, and violet, as her base appearance, is just a pretty girl. again, it's not really a bad thing, but i've already seen characters like her in other games, so in the end, she ends up looking the least interesting. if it wasn't for the poster, i would probably have not much interest in her at all, even if she's an artist character.
like the nurse have the edge for having a creepy and intimidating factor, like you can tell she's not a person you want to mess with. solomon have the cool factor, like he's aura farming, like he have that chess god thing going on. like that drip too. baba, apart from having a playable actually-old-looking character, her sitting on a walking bench and being surrounded by birds is just so much fun and whimsy and creativity. and then we have rat king that is anthromorphic rat with his little rat minions or danny being a skeleton daredevil, even as simple as making them non-humans already ups their visual interest alone.
i think on her own, violet can be interesting, but compared to the rest, she just looks uninteresting and a bit plain. maybe if she could have gotten a different facial expression she'd look a bit more interesting? or if she summons using her art, maybe we could have seen some of them appear in her art? idk, she just lacks a bit of hook that makes you want to know more about them. again, without the poster that shows she seems to have a different form or some kind of armor, she just looks a bit plain.
yeah if not for design, the personality can still pull interest. in the game zenless zone zero, i did not care for the character cissia cause her design is just a mess and just not that interesting, but goodness her character in the story is actually quite enjoyable that even if her design is lackluster, i still want to see more of her simply because she's just such a fun character.
