Viola (ヴィオーラ) is an Almata member introduced in Trails through Daybreak.

Profile

Appearance

Viola is a woman with long lavender hair, which reaches below her waist and hangs over her right eye. She wears a violet blouse with an open bust, black underbust corset and flared sleeves. There is a zigzag black edge to her blouse. Viola wears a long purple skirt which is open at the front and has two rings of black fur near the bottom. She wears short purple shorts and blue thigh high stockings beneath with black boots with white fur lining. Viola wears two black sword shaped earrings, a metal band with a black ribbon tied around her arm and a necklace with several blue teeth shaped gemstones.

She uses a purple needlegun in combat. It has a cylindrical barrel.

Personality

Viola is an abnormal sadist and uses a weapon called a needlegun that shoots several dozens of small needles at its target, shredding them apart.

She devotes herself to the boss' cause of moving everything with 'fear,' but also sees Melchior as a rival due to him rising in the ranks, becoming the boss' right-hand man, despite his status as a newcomer.

Background

Hello there, beautiful. May I have a moment of your time?

Please be aware spoilers for Trails through Daybreak may be present in the following section. Hit [Show] on the right if the show must go on. Adios, amigos!

Viola was born in a small noble family in the Qadas region in the Central East. Her family fell after Qadas was annexed into the coastal city-state Valis and Viola herself was sold to a wealthy merchant. Later, Viola fell into the hands of the criminal organization that attacked the merchant and she became its boss' plaything. At one point, she overthrew the boss, seized the organization and was henceforth known as a merciless and brutal leader. Two years later, Viola and her organization ventured into Calvard where they ran into Almata. Its leader, Gerard Dantès, completely destroyed her organization after which she pledged absolute loyalty to him.

Her needlegun appears to be made by Zecht Arms but is not part of their official line-up.

There we go, the end of spoilers. Thank you for your time!

Trails through Daybreak

Viola is one of the three executives of Almata. She makes her debut executing gang members in Langport alongside Alexandre, before introducing herself to Van Arkride and the Arkride Solutions Office. They withdraw to the Heilong Cheng Zhai where they have made their base and await the party and Aaron Wei. Upon arrival Viola is annoyed at the men's discussion about weapons and is eager to start a fight. Following this fight, she explains Langport's bloody history with the Tyrant and strongly implies Aaron, having lured him there to draw out his power and unleash chaos upon the city. She throws him the Genesis unit which brings about a transformation of Aaron into the Tyrant. The Tyrant attacks her so the pair withdraw again, this time from Langport altogether. Melchior mocks them for failing, to which Viola fires back, wondering about the other two, Arioch and Olympia, that he brought in.

Viola reinforces Gerard Dantès in Tharbad, flying the Almata airship to retrieve him from the hotel, whilst strafing bullets at the party... and Melchior. She is also involved in unleashing archaisms onto Basel and gets very frustrated at Renne's efforts at saving everyone.

She acts as the first manager of Almata's Carnival death game in Oración overseeing the Upper Stratum. Using a hologram, she announces that two teams: the Scorpion of Zahat and Dolor Family are eliminated promptly after the game begins. Van's party are the first to reach her. Viola's first act is to decry the injustice of wealth and equality in the world, describing her past and jealously of Scherazard Harvey who had a poor background yet became an Imperial princess. She vowed to tear everything down and came to lead her organization, until Gerard Dantès crushed it and recruited her. She realized the only true equality was under the fear that Gerard was seeking. She uses a drug-based boost and begins to fight, but is beaten. She doesn't want pity and demands to be killed, raising her needle gun. If she is stopped, she is handed over to either the Guild or Heiyue, but otherwise she will be stabbed by Van and die.

Using the power of the seventh Genesis, Melchior brings Viola back when he summons Pandemonium in Edith. She tries to take revenge on the party, fighting alongside Olympia in Genesis Tower but is beaten once again. As she vanishes or before she collapses, she asks Van to take out Gerard. The party thinks that they got through to her a little bit in the end.
