Forget everything you thought you knew about mascots. The Golden State Valkyries just dropped their newest team member, Violet, and she’s about to revolutionize halftime entertainment.

This purple-feathered raven isn’t just another cute costume - she’s a full-blown athletic phenomenon. Decked out in a Valkyries jersey, mini-skirt, and high-top tube socks, Violet can do splits and back handsprings that would make professional gymnasts jealous.

Norse Mythology Meets Modern Mascot Magic

Violet isn’t just a random character. She’s a deliberate nod to the team’s Norse mythology roots, symbolizing knowledge and wisdom through her raven identity. Her glasses and feathery ensemble scream “I’m smart, sassy, and ready to entertain”.

Social Media Sensation

With just over 1,000 Twitter followers, Violet is quickly becoming a viral sensation. Her dance moves and playful interactions (like attempting to shoot hoops with Warriors backup center Quinten Post) are pure internet gold.

Game Day Performance

Whether Violet’s presence was a good luck charm or just pure coincidence, the Valkyries crushed their game against the Connecticut Sun, winning 74-57 and securing a potential playoff spot. Talk about making an entrance!

So Bay Area sports fans, get ready. Violet is here to prove that mascots are more than just fuzzy sideline attractions - they’re full-blown entertainment powerhouses.
