I am Viola is the second daughter of the Riku Family and the current crown princess of Dressrosa after her niece Rebecca abdicated her position.[7] She is the younger sister of the late Scarlett.[8][9] When the Donquixote Pirates took over Dressrosa, Viola joined them and adopted the name Violet,[1] working as an assassin and officer of the Trebol Army until betraying the crew.[2][10] Viola is a tall, slender, and well-endowed woman. She wears her long, slightly wavy dark brown hair pulled back and held in place by a rose, with a lock hanging to the left of her face.[1] This rose is actually used to conceal a hidden dagger.[11]She seems to be well known with her beauty, even by people outside of her country.[12] When playing the role of Violet, an officer of the Donquixote Family, Viola fits the stereotype of the dancing women of Dressrosa; she seems to be very emotional and romantic but would not hesitate to stab a man who betrays her. She can use her charm to manipulate people, persuading Sanji to kill a man for her and luring him into a trap. She has no qualms about using violence when necessary, as shown when she kicked Sanji full-force in the face, leaving him bleeding and barely conscious.[2]

Her ruthless behavior is actually a symptom of a profound cynicism; not a single man she has ever been involved with has been honest with her, a fact that her powers allowed her to discover. Deep down, she has a kind heart that was moved by Sanji's honesty and kindness, leading her to help him in spite of the consequences.[13]

The true Viola is nobler than her alias Violet, as she sacrificed her own freedom in order to spare her father's life. She never felt true loyalty to any king but her father. Even while working for the Donquixote Family, she kept tabs on the Tontattas' progress without revealing their plans to Doflamingo.[6] Prior to her family's dethronement, Viola showed a more amiable and trusting personality, trying to persuade her sister to trust Kyros despite his background.[9]
