==In the anime==

[[File:Viola anime.png|thumb|250px|Viola in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

Viola was first mentioned in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', albeit not by name, when [[Alexa]] revealed to {{Ash}} that her sister was a Gym Leader from the Kalos region. When Ash arrived in Kalos in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', he learned that Viola was absent from her Gym at Santalune City. However, Ash decided to head to [[Santalune Gym]] anyway after his challenge at [[Lumiose Gym]] was declined.

She appeared again in flashbacks in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

Like her sister, Viola is very cheerful and friendly but has an unwavering focus in battle. According to Alexa, her trips away from Santalune Gym are often long. She helps Alexa with her work at times and she shares a friendship with Grant, though she is shown to get easily annoyed whenever Grant falls from the walls he is climbing on.

==Trivia==

* Viola's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|笑顔を見逃さないカメラガール|The camera girl who never misses a smile}}.

* In the Battle Chateau initial battle, Viola's Masquerain knows {{m|Air Slash}} at level 40 even though it can only learn it at level 47 in {{g|X and Y}}. Its pre-evolution, {{p|Surskit}}, cannot learn this move.

* In her {{pkmn|anime}} debut, Viola is shown to be just as tall as her sister Alexa. However, in later episodes, Viola's height only reaches to her sister's shoulders.

* Viola was originally meant to have a ponytail, as evidenced in her concept art.
