How old is viola eade

Viola is a shooting star that falls into the New World from a different planet. No, seriously—that analogy isn't so far off. She's a settler from the Old World, come to New World for a fresh start. Sadly her ship crashes, killing her parents and leaving her all alone. Before we dig into Viola's character, though, there's one really important thing to note.

So you know how men have the Noise germ and women don't? Since the story is told from Todd's perspective, we get a limited view of Viola. Todd can't read her thoughts—and this confuses him: "And then we don't say nothing for a minute. And for us, it keeps Viola a bit of a mystery, too. She's just not as transparent as some other characters thanks to keeping her thoughts to herself. When we first meet Viola, Todd describes that "it's looking back at us like we're gonna kill it.

It's hunched down in a little ball, trying to make itself as small as possible" 7. Poor, helpless girl. She's ended up in this weird place with Noise, and right away runs into an angry Todd who refers to her as "it" and his barking dog, Manchee.

Welcome to the planet, girl. Viola isn't just quiet, though—she straight up doesn't react to anything. Like, at all. She holds her cards extremely close. When Todd finds her, he tries to get her to speak and she just stares. Oh, and whacks him on the head: "She's dropped the stick she hit me with and her face is all collapsed in on itself with what she must be feeling from that cut" 7.

Viola refuses to talk to Todd out of fear until she uses her fire box a gift from Bradley Trench to blow up a bridge in hopes to stop the mayor from catching them.

After this she realizes she can trust Todd and they start to become closer. At the end of this book, they see each other as family, both repeatedly mentioning how much they need each other.

After that, they find Hildy and Tam , who let them stay the night and bring them to Farbranch , a different settlement, where they learn that men from Prentisstown are not easily accepted, that the Noise germ is not what killed the women of Prentisstown, and that the settlement called Haven , might have a way for Viola to contact her settler ship.

However, they leave Farbranch when the settlement is attacked by an army of Prentisstown men and they need to run. On the way to Haven, Viola is captured by Aaron. She is later rescued by Todd, but in the process, Aaron kills Manchee. When they are close to Haven, they have a final battle with Aaron, and Viola stabs him.

On the final walk to Haven, she is shot by Davy Prentiss Jr. As Todd and Viola now see each other as family, Todd wills her to stay alive, and carrying her, gets them both to Haven. When they arrive, Todd finds the settlement deserted with a dying Viola in his arms.

Viola has been separated from Todd and placed in a House of Healing where Mistress Coyle has mended her bullet wound. She discovers that Mayor Prentiss is now in power, Haven is now "New Prentisstown", and that the women have been forced to stay inside for the time being. She also meets two apprentices, Maddy , a sweet good-natured girl, and Corinne , a short-tempered, yet terrific healer.

Once she heals, Mistress Coyle trains her as an apprentice and employs her, but Viola still wants to escape, contact her ship, and reunite with Todd. She convinces Maddy to help her sneak out and go to the communications tower, but they're caught and Maddy is shot and killed by Mr. The mayor promises her she can see Todd the day after the funeral.

During the wake, Mistress Coyle tells Viola how much she misses the ocean. The next day, Mistress Coyle and the rest of the mistresses are inexplicably missing, have been bombing empty buildings and calling themselves the Answer , and the mayor says he will no longer let Viola see Todd. However, that night, Todd sneaks out to see her, and she tells him about the ocean. He convinces her to sneak away with him to find the Answer, but Todd is caught and taken back with the mayor.

The next morning, Corinne helps Viola escape on her own to join the Answer before the mayor takes her. She tries to go to the communications tower on the way, but as she approaches, she is stopped by Mistress Coyle, and the tower is blown up. She takes Viola to the base of the Answer, which is actually far away from the ocean. There she meets Lee , who becomes a good friend, and later expresses his feelings for her through his Noise, silent at the moment due to Haven's cure.

Mistress Lawson tricks her while the others go to New Prentisstown. Once they return, she helps heal the wounded. Viola learned that all the women were banded to keep track of them, and willingly brands herself with the metal band to sneak into the city and save Todd.

They are close to escaping when Haven's former mayor betrays Todd and catches them sneaking away. He starts looking through Viola's bag, and finds to everyone's shock and horror, including Viola's, that Mistress Coyle had planted a bomb inside her bag. It detonates, and Todd, Viola, and Lee, who came along, survive but are caught by the mayor and his men.
