Violet and Lucy are friends, although they are sometimes seen fighting each other, verbally in the strip. In later years, when Patty had already disappeared decades earlier, Violet was almost exclusively seen with Lucy only. They seem to enjoy making fun of Charlie Brown, but not as much as when Violet was with Patty. They have mocked Charlie Brown many times in TV specials, most notably in Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Back in the earlier days of the strip, Violet acted like sort-of a motherhen to Lucy, and treated her as her surrogate younger sister, similar to Patty.
