Meet Violet: The Golden State Valkyries’ new mascot star

Say hello to Violet, the Golden State Valkyries mascot!

Driving the news: The charming, fluffy raven made her debut last night during the Valkyries' game against the Connecticut Sun.

• She immediately hit the floor dancing to wild cheers, our tech reporter and No. 1 Bay Area sports fan Ina Fried reports from Chase Center.
• She didn't fare very well shooting, though. Even with guidance from the Warriors' Quinten Post, Violet missed her first few shots.

Yes, but: She ultimately made a basket and stole everyone's heart.

• See the footage on Ina's X account!

Zoom in: Ravens are known as Valkyries' counterparts in Norse mythology and are considered guardians of good fortune.

• Violet herself sports gold glasses (she's near-sighted) and wears socks featuring the team's iconic V pattern.

🥳 We look forward to seeing Violet in her full glory.
