The Violet Evergarden follows the story of a post-war child soldier Violet trying to become an Auto Memory Doll, a ghostwriter for illiterate clients. Violet attends the Auto Memory Doll Training School in order to become a true doll. However, she initially failed the test because she lost both her arms in the war, causing her to struggle using her mechanical prosthetic arms to type using a typewriter. She ultimately succeeds after support and help from her fellow doll trainee, Luculia.
