- “Viva: Poppy, it’s me, Viva.
Poppy Uh…?
Viva: I’m your sister.
Poppy: [shocked] My, my what?
Viva: Your sister, your hermana.” - ―Viva introduces herself to Poppy as her long-lost sister.
Viva is one of the two overarching protagonists (alongside Floyd) of Trolls Band Together. She is the oldest daughter of King Peppy and older sister of Poppy. She is the first daughter of King Peppy, Poppy's long-lost sister and ruler of the Putt-Putt Trolls. She is voiced by Camila Cabello.
Overview[]
Personality[]
Viva was described as highly optimistic and was shown in her first appearance to cause Poppy herself to question how others perceive her. She is presented to be someone who is more enthusiastic on making new friends than Poppy to the point of being immediately affectionate to any new people who barely know her.
Although clearly brave (as she went back to save Trolls left behind at the Troll Tree), deep down Viva suffers from severe abandonment issues and post traumatic stress disorder, owing to prolonged separation from her father and sister caused by the collapse of the tunnels during the Pop Trolls escape from the Troll Tree on the Last Trollstice. Due to her trauma, she becomes fearful of the outside world, creating her own "paradise" for all Trolls to be sheltered and protected from Bergens. However, similar to Branch, she would only create a gilded cage that, despite protecting her, it also kept her chained to her own fear.
Even with the claims that Bergens had stopped eating Trolls and the two feuding parts were now friends, Viva's attachment to her fear prevented from ever believing it, even with the claims coming from her own sister, who herself was best friends with a Bergen.
The trauma that she had endured also caused her to become obsessed in keeping her loved ones safe, even if it means trapping them, or hiding her pain through an exuberant exterior. By the end of Trolls Band Together, she had overcame her past traumas.
Physical Appearance[]
Viva looks similar to Poppy with some major differences. She has much more pointed ears, curly blond hair, and yellow eyeliner. She wears a white sleeveless sweater leotard, a green fabric cape, and red and pink leg warmers.
History[]
Background[]
During the events of the first film, when the Trolls were escaping from the Bergens from the last Trollstice, Viva stayed behind to fight off some of the Bergens attempting to follow and capture them. She was left behind when the tunnels out of Troll Tree collapsed closed. She would then run away with multiple other abandoned trolls to take shelter at an old Bergen mini-golf course. No one left for 20 years, so they didn’t learn about the truce between the Burgens and the Trolls.
Trolls Band Together[]
Poppy, Branch and his two older brothers find Clay at an abandoned Bergen miniature golf course, inhabited by a hidden colony of Pop Trolls who do not know that the Bergens are no longer their enemies, having been separated from the other Pop Trolls when they fled the final Trollstice. The hidden troll colony's leader, Viva, reveals herself to be Poppy's long-lost sister. At first, Poppy is delighted, but the visit turns sour when Viva refuses to believe the Bergens have changed, and tries to stop Poppy's group from leaving the golf course. They manage to escape thanks to Clay, and Poppy and Viva separate with broken hearts.
Later, in Mount Rageous, after Velvet and Veneer capture the entire BroZone, Branch and Poppy confront the villainous siblings, prompting the chase. While being pursued, Velvet and Veneer begin using the shoulder-pads to extract the essence from Branch’s brothers in order to put on a show. Branch and Poppy are soon helped by Viva, who joined forces with Bridget and Gristle after they stumbled onto the golf course during their honeymoon.
Seeing that Floyd is just about out of essence, Branch tells his brothers that they all simply need to put aside their egos and work as a team. They, along with Poppy and Viva, perform the Perfect Family Harmony and break free of their prisons just as Floyd loses the last of his essence, but he is quickly revived. Veneer, who had been second-guessing Velvet's machinations, publicly confesses everything, and they are sent to prison.
The Trolls return to Vacay Island and witness BroZone's comeback concert, joined by Kismet, another band Branch was once part of.
