Cut to book 2 and Scarlet is now wearing a tutu alongside her usual get-up.

-->''The Fuschia is Now!''

'''The Ultra Violets''' is a book series by Sophie Bell, following the adventures of superpowered middle-school student quartet, Iris, Cheri, Scarlet, and Opaline.

The four were just regular girls until a sleepover at the Fascination Lab ([=FLab=], for short) on the 42nd floor of the Highly Questionable Tower ended up triggering a chain reaction that culminated in the four best friends getting covered in a mysterious purple goo, Heliotropium.

The girls soon discovered the stuff gave them more than the need for a long shower, and permanently dye Iris’s hair purple--it had given them superpowers!

* Iris gained superheated rainbow beams and the ability to create art anywhere she chooses,
* Cheri super-math skills and the ability to talk to animals,
* Scarlet wicked dancing skills [[spoiler:(and later, when her skills evolve, super-strength)]],
* And Opaline electric and weather manipulation powers.

Together, the four form the Ultra Violets, a superhero team dedicated to protecting Sync City from the evil schemes of BeauTek, from mind-controlling perfumes to evil mutants manufactured at the Mall of No Returns!

[[AC:Books in the series:]]

* The Ultra Violets
* Power to the Purple

* EvilInc: BeauTek.
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: Opal.]]
* {{Foil}}: Agents Bristow and Baxter. One is well-trained, professional, and unyielding as a mountain, the other is unfit, incompetent, and a push-over at the slightest discomfort.
* GirlinessUpgrade: Scarlet gets a minor one in book 2, where she dons a tutu, comfortably wears ballerina slippers, and auditions for school plays.
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: Opal, again.]]
* InMediaRes: Book 2 starts with a BANG!, so much that it begins at chapter 2.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Those who pick up book 2 will learn that [[spoiler:Opal switches sides at the end of book 1, and now commands an army of BeauTek mutants.]]
** The Ultra Violets [[spoiler:destory the Vi-Shush lab.]]

* MissingMom: All four of the protagonists mothers pretty much left them to their own devices, in the care of their siblings, or in Iris’s case, sent her off to Astronaut Offspring Boarding School.
* {{Mutants:}} Beautek has an entire army of them, manufactured in the Mall Of No Returns.
* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Albert Feinstein, mathlete.
* [[spoiler:NotWhatItLooksLike: The Kiss That Changed Everything.]]
