*Colonel Violet (バイオレット大たい佐さ, Baioretto Taisa) is the only confirmed female officer in the Red Ribbon Army, although her appearance is very brief.

In the anime, Colonel Violet shows little to no concern for the lives of her soldiers. She callously kicks two of them to be eaten by a giant gator as a distraction while showing no qualms when one of her men gets shot with an arrow. Violet does, however, show kindness to a hurt baby monkey, helping it escape a conflict.

The colonel has as strong a desire for money as she has little fidelity to the army. Whence upon finding a Dragon Ball, Violet asks for compensation up front for her work.

As Goku sets upon the main base, however, she opts to steal as much from the Red Ribbon's cash funds instead of helping in the fight as her own little reward (implying that when stealing the valuables, she fully expected the Red Ribbon Army to ultimately lose to Goku).

Colonel Violet was briefly seen in only two panels in the Dragon Ball manga, handing a Dragon Ball to Commander Red.

Her role is increased in the anime. Though she valued the money she received from the Red Ribbon Army for her services, she frequently demonstrated a callous disregard for the army's goals and soldiers. An example of this is when an alligator was harassing Colonel Violet and her soldiers when they were hunting for a Dragon Ball, she throws two of her soldiers overboard as bait while she escapes to shore. Another example is when her pilot is killed by some angry natives, the Peck Peck Tribe, she does not seem to care in the least and takes off though as nothing had happened. However, during the Peck Peck Tribe's attack and shortly before fleeing them herself, she shows concern for a baby monkey that got hit by an arrow and fell out of a tree into her arms. She consoles and helps the frightened baby monkey to escape the melee.

During Goku's invasion of the Red Ribbon Army Headquarters, instead of fighting Goku like the other soldiers, Colonel Violet runs to the vault, blows it open by pulling a piece of chewed up gum out of her mouth, and placing a bomb on it, which she sticks to the safe, resulting in an explosion. She proceeds to steal all of the army's valuables (except for the Dragon Balls, which were in Commander Red and Staff Officer Black's possession), citing the valuables as being her "severance package", and escapes the base in a private aircraft. She also deliberately does this in front of an active security camera, knowing full well that the Red Ribbon Army is currently incapable of stopping her due to Goku's arrival even if they saw her do so. She is later seen when Goku's friends, who had been flying a plane to see if they could help Goku fight the Red Ribbon Army, fly to the base. They nearly crash into each other, but both planes make it out relatively undamaged.*
