Minuet is a Classical Troll with an unique hairstyle and wings. Her light green hair is tied at the top with a hairband that has a feather decoration, and her wings are completely golden with a more solid coloration than other Classical Trolls. She has a blue choker with a light blue heart on it, red lipstick and a beauty mark on the right side of her upper lip, which is uncommon among Trolls in general.

Minuet is a prim and proper Classical Troll like most of her Tribe. This is because like many Trolls of her Tribe, she has a high standard of expectation, and expects others to meet it. She can't resist maintaining her high standards. Despite that, she doesn't want others to forget about their passions, their interests and hobbies, or generally stop being who they are, and is supportive of them. She just demands every Troll should respect and be decent towards other Trolls, including herself. She is very focused and is able to practice the violin for days.
Although mostly uptight, she is curious about learning new skills and boasts about her ability to learn new things very quickly, as well as brag about her existing accomplishments. Minuet is in fact quite open-minded on trying new things and likes to try new skills that challenge her. She expects her audience to not interrupt her recitals and isn't above scorning others for acting up. Despite her scorns, she's normally friendly and likes to help other Trolls. She also is assertive enough to stand up for herself and is quite tough, despite her Classical Troll mannerisms. She can be quite noble at times, standing up for others and patient with her fellow TrollsTopians and friends.
She generally behaves maturely, though she can become whiny if there is something she seems to be unable to do. Minuet's achievements are great, even among her Tribe, but hide her insecurities and worries about herself. As such, she remains confident in her abilities. When they fail her, she often folds with defeat until she receives a confidence boast. The most extreme example happened in "Funtography Day", where her inability to get a decent photo led her to not want her photo taken, and put her own life at risk when a perfect photo was finally taken. 
In "The Trolls-a-Thon", Minuet notes two of her favorite things are working hard to reach a goal and oversized pastries. When she gets angry while practicing, she shouts musical terminology, using them as pseudonyms for curse words in "Give Me A Break". She was also shown sacrificing sleep for practicing even when it came too much for her and was impacting her performance, until finally she gave up.
According to "Give Me A Break", her favorite composition is a piece called "The Cupcake Concerto"; it's an extremely difficult piece to master for a lead violinist, but it allows them to focus on their instrument.
In the series' final episode "Troll Exchange Program", she and Demo were tied second-best among the candidates to King Trollex's Troll exchange program. Both lost out to DJ Suki as the best candidate to be sent to Techno Reef for a year to experience Techno Troll culture while teaching them Classical Troll values.

=== Blaze Powerchord ===
Blaze and Minuet were not on good terms in their first episode they met and Minuet found him highly irritable. However, by the end of the episode she had resolved her matter and they two found equal terms with each other. Later, Minuet was willing to lie for his sakes out of pity when Rose and Gromper, his former band, turned up along with Poppy, Minuet managed to convince him to come to terms with his old bandmates.
=== Dante Crescendo ===
The pair have a mutual respect for one another, since Dante is a composer and a conductor and Minuet is a talented musician under him. She is also willing to go along with some of his more bizarre ideas such as seen in "My Dinner with Dante". This despite she clearly had indifferent in her feelings compared to about Dante's, who was in the episode obsessing with trying to impress Holly, she doesn't say nothing to him about it.
=== Queen Poppy ===
Poppy has been well supportive in many of Minuet's personal problems, often being there to help her through them.
=== Guy Diamond ===
Minuet and Guy Diamond also have a mutual respect for each other as Guy tried to help her get her perfect photograph in "Funtography Day". Though his efforts were in vein, she appreciated his help.
=== Synth ===
The pair were shown as good friends, to the point where they took the "Tunnel of Friendship" together in "The Tunnel of Friendship". When they rode the tunnel, it broke down and eventually it was revealed Synth has a fear of the dark. Though she understood his fears and decided they can do other things besides the ride, as the experience with him was more valuable than the ride itself.
Her nickname from Synth is "Mini-Min" as revealed in "The Trolls-a-Thon".
=== Holly Darlin' ===
The duo became friends in "Fastest Draw in the West" after they did a friendship crash course the day before which ended with the pair entering an argument. When they made up, they made a connection with each other. Holly and Minuet are part of the TrollsTopia Guess and Draw team "The Dream Team".
== ==
She has most normal Troll abilities, as well as the abilities of her Tribe.
=== Music ===
Talentedmin.png|Minuet is normally a talented musician, capable of playing the violin and double bass at the same time.

Minuet plays the violin as her main instrument and claims she learned it in just four hours. She can play multiple instruments at once, and thus can act like a "one-Troll-band". Originally, she was shown to be able to play a Double bass at the same time using her feet. Later in "My Dinner with Dante", she was seen playing the Clarinet at the same time as these instruments, using her right foot to hold the double bass bow and her left one to help her hold and play the Clarinet. In "Funtography Day", she played 2 violins, the double bass and a set of cymbals, which she played with her hair. In "Highly Amused", she states that as 1st chair of the Troll Orchestra, she has to constantly practice, and still plays the violin when stressed. In "Blaze and the Blazing Blazes", she's seen playing drums while Poppy and Blaze were on guitars, with Blaze being the vocalist.
Despite being a Classical Troll, Minuet has shown an interest in playing what is known as the "mouth guitar" when Blaze Powerchord interrupts her recital as a way to put Blaze in his place for his disruptive behavior. This is a Rock Troll vocal technique where the voice is used mimic a guitar (a reference to the real-life air guitar technique). This was shown in the episode "Mouth Guitar". During the episode, she claims that there is no technique she can't master, so long as she has a master to instruct her.
Though she was good at the technique with Val Thundershock's tutoring, it took her a while to learn passion to master it. Once done she was able to mimic Blaze's ability to smash the guitar, and also had the ability to create sound waves from her, as well as electrify her "guitar".
In "Give Me A Break", she lost her 1st chair status to Poppy's pet Grinchilla Perky who turned out to be highly talented on the violin. She also demonstrated her ability to open a doorlatch with her feet while playing her violin.
=== Baking ===
Minuet was among Holly Darlin's class in "Life of Pie" for baking pies but struggled to understand step 82, though it is understandable since the instructions were unclear.
=== Linguistics ===
Minuet claims to speak 17 languages. She speaks Italian in "Give Me A Break", using it alongside musical terms (which are also Italian) to vent her frustrations in place of curse words.
=== Photography ===
Though she's a Troll of many talents, she cannot take a good photo, which she used to be obsessed about. The only good photo she has ever taken was destroyed when it accidentally landed on the Metroll Train rails and was ran over; this was the moment when she quit with her obsession.
=== Party Games ===
Like Laguna Tidepool, Minuet is a Troll Chess master and learnt at the age of 2 on how to play at 10+ age level. In "Bubbled In", the pair taught Tiny Diamond how to play Troll Chess, only to proceed to lose against him constantly due to his quick learning.
Minuet is the best "Guess and Draw" player of the Classical Trolls, together with Holly Darlin' (the top Guess and Draw player in the Country Trolls), the duo form part of the "Dream Team".

In "Follicle Fitness", Sonata was shown to have trained under Synth and Smidge to strengthen her hair and is now able to lift heavy objects with her hair. 
Since Minuet is a Classical Troll she spends most of her time flying. "The Trolls-a-Thon" reveals she has never actually run, or walked for that matter, before. This meant that she was completely and physically out of shape. As well as running her other issue was since she is not used to holding up her head in the walking/running stance, she found her head was too heavy for her body. As she said "Why would I when I can fly?". With work she managed to reach her goal of completing the race, but Synth and Smidge took her down a short cut, thus cheating her out of a win. However Minuet looked at the bright side - she still finished the race and will be working towards her goal next year. Thus, Minuet is currently working towards building up her strength.
She ended up showing heavy signs of rumination in "Funtography Day" as a result of her fixation on her photo, until the reality of the situation hit her. Despite her getting over her photography issues in the episode, Minuet often displays fixation on tasks and obsession with perfection.
She often sacrifices sleep and was shown this in "Mouth Guitar". In "Give Me A Break", her obsession with perfection meant she gave up sleep for days to practice for an upcoming placement in Dante Crescendo's orchestral number he was setting up.

"Minuet" translates to "minute", while "Sonata" ("to sound") is the name given to a solo instrumental piece in Classical music; it's the opposite to the cantata ("to sing"), a solo vocal piece. Therefore, her name is implied to be read in simplified terms as "minute-long instrumental solo".
== ==
*Like the other Tribes "pairs", Dante and Minuet are opposites. Minuet is very open to new things and takes interest in new things as it challenges her, whereas Dante can be reluctant to open up at times, sticking often to the things he knows. Dante also asks for standards, whereas Minuet asks for respect.
**Their contrast is also seen in their reactions to Trolls like Synth. Minuet and Synth became good friends, to the point she rode the Tunnel of Friendship with him. But Dante took a while to get used to Synth due to his behavior and initally got annoyed with him. Minuet has a lot of patience for the Techno Troll but Dante had to learn it.
