She constantly tries to destroy Charlotte, but her schemes are always foiled by Charlotte's kind obliviousness. She only eats clams, beef jerky, grape punch, and onions.''Making Fiends'' episode "Vegetables" She hates several things that are mentioned throughout the show. More often than not, she would use the word "stupid" to describe something she detests, such as Charlotte, Charlotte's grandmother, or a fiend who disobeys her. The only people she truly cares about are her parents, Viktor and Violetta, as shown in "Parentnapped" when she warned them to not hangout with Charlotte and when she rescued them from Charlotte's house after spending the day with her.
