Roger Antrim and his sister, Violet, are childhood neighbors of Stephen's whom she was often forced to play with. Violet is a very feminine woman who likes to prove her femininity over Stephen's masculinity. This causes a great deal of pain for Stephen throughout her childhood. As she grows older, Violet learns of Stephen's affection for Angela Crossby and she often visits her to rub into Stephen's nose the growing relationship between her brother Roger and Angela.
