Violet Evergarden I: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll

Violet Evergarden is given a new assignment by the Drossel royal family. She is tasked to assist Isabella York at a distinguished girls' boarding school, focusing on her debutante training.

As Violet spends time with Isabella, it becomes clear that Isabella feels out of place at the boarding school. She struggles with the expectations of high society and shows little interest in the traditional skills being taught.

Isabella faces additional challenges as she suffers from frequent coughing fits due to her illness. These episodes often hinder her ability to participate in her daily activities and training.

Initially skeptical of Violet, Isabella's opinion changes when she realizes Violet does not idolize her aristocratic background. This breakthrough leads Isabella to confide in Violet about her true identity and past.

Isabella shares her past as Amy Bartlett, born an illegitimate child. She recounts her experiences of poverty and her decision to adopt a young orphan named Taylor as her sister.

Faced with an offer from the York family for a new life, Isabella must reluctantly accept their terms, knowing it means sacrificing her ability to care for Taylor alone. This decision signifies a turning point in her life.

Before departing the boarding school, Isabella requests Violet to write a heartfelt letter for Taylor. This act of love marks the completion of her initial mission and shows the bond they have formed.

Three years later, Taylor embarks on a journey to find the CH Postal Company in Leiden. Eager to meet Violet, she wishes to become a postman herself, reflecting her determination and growth.

Despite her young age, Claudia Hodgins allows Taylor to work temporarily at the postal company. Violet advocates for Taylor, highlighting her potential and aspirations.

During delivery runs with Benedict, it is discovered that Taylor cannot read, which poses a significant challenge for her new role. Violet recognizes the importance of literacy and steps in to help Taylor.

On their delivery route, Taylor shares her dream of becoming a postman to deliver happiness, inspired by Benedict's previous actions. Together, they draft a letter to Isabella, signifying Taylor's connection to her past.

Benedict, with a new motorcycle provided by Hodgins, vows to reunite Taylor with Isabella. This journey becomes a significant moment of growing independence for Taylor.

Despite her eagerness to meet Isabella, Taylor decides to delay their reunion until she earns her place as a genuine postman. This decision reflects her ambition and self-reliance.

In a heartwarming conclusion, Taylor is adopted by the Evergarden family, establishing her place within a new home. This signifies the culmination of her journey and the formation of lasting bonds.

As Taylor embarks on a new chapter, Violet and Benedict continue their work at the postal company. Their dedication to delivering letters symbolizes their ongoing journey of connection and hope for the future.
