Viola

Tall, slim, and curvaceous, Viola has light skin, full lips, and amber-orange eyes that appear brown in the manga. Her long, faintly wavy dark brown hair is gathered back and pinned with a rose, with a single strand left loose beside her face. That rose hides a concealed dagger. Her looks are renowned even beyond the borders of her homeland.

For her introduction she wears round earrings, purple stilettos, and a sleeveless white flamenco gown dotted with violet and trimmed in maroon ruffles. At nineteen, a decade before the Donquixote Pirates entered her life, she kept her hair in a chin-length bob held by a pink band and dressed in a white-and-purple top over a pink skirt. After Doflamingo's defeat she tied her hair into a ponytail and wore a fuchsia gown with white frills, and during the Levely she appeared in a red-violet dress, twin necklaces, and a cream cardigan draped over her shoulders.

Playing Violet, she leans into the romantic, emotional image of a Dressrosa dancer while feeling no scruples about manipulation. Her charm coaxed Sanji into agreeing to kill for her and lured him into a trap, and she resorts to violence without hesitation, once kicking him hard enough to leave him bloodied and barely awake. The real Viola, however, is far nobler than her cover identity. She surrendered her own freedom to keep her father alive, never truly served any ruler but him, and quietly tracked the Tontatta's resistance without betraying them to Doflamingo. Before her family lost its throne she was warmer and more trusting, even urging her sister to give Kyros a chance.

Viola is a graceful flamenco dancer and an accomplished fighter, defending herself with kicks and serving as a respected officer of the Trebol Army who once commanded two thousand soldiers. As the princess of Dressrosa her authority over the nation is sweeping, a rank that Doflamingo stripped from her and that returned only once he fell. She also carries a pistol, which she has used with precision, and the dagger hidden in her hair ornament.

Her power comes from a Paramecia-type fruit, the Giro Giro no Mi, which lets her peer through solid matter and across enormous distances; she activates it by joining her thumb and index finger into a ring and gazing through that opening like a lens. She can survey everything within a four-thousand-kilometer radius in fine detail and in every direction at once, inspect opponents beneath their clothing and skin, and read minds and memories, which makes deceiving her nearly impossible. She can also enlarge her tears, detach them, and hurl them at foes as blunt projectiles.
