Viva was described as "being more like Poppy than Poppy" 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 overcome her past traumas.

=== Family ===
==== Queen Poppy ====
Poppy is Viva's long lost younger sister. Viva actually knew Poppy, who was a baby, when she was a toddler herself. Although she didn't recognized Poppy when she reunites with her after twenty plus years of being apart, Viva quickly takes a liking to her because of their similar positivity and felt a connection to her. However, seeing that she has her hug time bracelet, hearing her name, noticing that they look alike except the hair color and her father is King Peppy, Viva realizes as to why she felt a connection to Poppy and is her little sister but all grown up. Upon catching up with Poppy's life, Viva becomes afraid of losing her sister again, as she decides to trap her, along with Branch, Spruce, and John Dory, so she won't have to suffer from her emotional pain again. Similar to Branch's brothers, except Floyd, Viva treated Poppy like a baby, except she doesn't say or do baby things with her sister.
Nevertheless, Viva would eventually accept the fact that Poppy has grown up and matured, as she also comes to terms that her sister can make her own choices. Viva then realized that Poppy was right about the Bergens as she ended up feeling guilty for not listening to her and regretted in not coming with her to help the group save Floyd. In the end, both Viva and Poppy repair their bond after Viva returned to Poppy to help her out with rescuing BroZone.
==== King Peppy ====
Viva has always loved her father Peppy deeply, and is saddened due to being separated from him. She would later get to reconnect with him after the events of Trolls Band Together. Like Poppy, she hates her father's tendency to keep secrets.
She mentioned that she and Peppy would make candy necklaces they would never finish as the pair of them would eat the candy beads before they finished.
=== Friends ===
==== Clay ====
Clay is close friends with Viva, and one of the very few Trolls who knows her sufferings. Viva and Clay co-lead the Putt Putt Trolls, as she takes care of the fun part while the latter took care of the boring stuff of the golf course and, in this way, keep them safe.
Viva has a great deal of respect for Clay as she shows understanding of what is like to have younger siblings, due to having a sister while he has two younger brothers. At first, she was upset to know that he would be temporarily leaving her to find his brother, but reluctantly accepted his decision as she gets that he doesn't want to lose one of his siblings. However, Viva is quick to forgive Clay as she realized that he wouldn't have hesitated to help her save Poppy if she was the one in trouble and regretted in not coming with him alongside her sister to save Floyd. Through Bridget and King Gristle Jr.'s help, she is able to arrive to help Clay rescue Floyd, but had to save the latter first as he ended up getting captured as well. After rescuing Clay, Viva remain close friends with him.
==== Branch ====
Branch is Poppy's boyfriend. Being her little sister's boyfriend, Viva has come to show her approval of their relationship by how she braided his hair during his kiss with Poppy, which, according to Poppy, was Viva's way of saying she liked him.
When Poppy was trying to convince Viva to let them go, when the latter refused to let them leave the golf course, Branch was able to relate with her. He told her how he spent twenty years of his life living in a bunker, isolated from others and afraid, saying that, even if it kept him alive, it prevented him from truly living.
==== Bridget ====
At first, Viva was afraid of Bridget, believing that the Bergen queen had deceived her sister. However, after watching Bridget and King Gristle Jr. make out affectionately and seeing how Bridget would not try to eat her, Viva realized that the Bergen queen meant no harm at all. They became friends, teaming up to help Poppy and Branch to rescue the latter's brothers.
==== King Gristle Jr. ====
Similar to how she originally approached Bridget, Viva regarded Gristle Jr. to be a threat to her and her subjects. But Gristle Jr. forgave her as soon as she stopped their execution upon seeing him and Bridget make out. He told her that he understood her concerns and therefore wouldn't press any charges against her. They became friends afterwards.
== ==
She has the most normal Troll abilities, as well as the abilities of her Tribe. In addition, she is also part of the Putt Putt Troll Tribe.
=== Music ===
Like most Trolls, Viva is very musical. Viva also joins in with Queen Poppy and the BroZone members in singing at the end of the movie.
=== Socialization ===
Just like her sister, Viva is very charismatic and enthusiastic about meeting new Trolls. In fact, Viva is shown to take her social skills to an all new level, even more than her younger sister, as seen how Poppy herself got to feel what other trolls feel when they get to meet her.
=== Hair-styling ===
She braids the hair of those she likes and can braid hair in the blink of an eye.
=== Leadership ===
Viva is the leader of the Putt Putt Trolls who got separated from their fellow Pop Trolls over twenty years ago. Despite being very young, she bravely guided the Trolls and proved to be a more cautious leader than Poppy. However, similar to her sister until she realized the error of her ways, Viva usually won't listen to those around her and only tries to have them see her point of view.
Despite her capabilities in leading an entire tribe, Viva is too afraid of exploring new ways for herself and to a bigger extent, her fellow Putt Putt Trolls. All the Putt Putt Trolls blindly followed Viva, living in fear of the Bergens and unwilling to ever leave the golf course, except for Clay, who decided to leave their home in order to help his brothers rescue Floyd. After going through the experience of saving Floyd, Viva has become a better and more open-minded leader.
=== Survival Skills ===
Even at a tender age, Viva is highly adaptable and, due to her innate abilities, quickly found a safe location. She developed a new organized and resourceful society for the Putt Putt Trolls.

"Viva" means "to express approval" or "live long". It is also part of the adjective "vivacious", correspondent to her extremely hyperactive and high-spirited personality.
"Viva" can also be interpreted as a celebration of life. In Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, "viva" is a conjugated form of the verb "vivir"/"vivere"/"viver" (respectivelly), both meaning "to live" or "to be alive" (referring to how the Pop Trolls' princess didn't die as King Peppy believed).

*Viva was the first new character introduced for Trolls Band Together, she was first sighted in May 2022 at the Licensing Expo 2022. Her name "Viva" was leaked in Q4 of 2022 as well, though it was not confirmed as being the same character until further leaks in early 2023.
*Although she is older than Poppy, Viva's voice actress, Camila Cabello, is actually twelve years younger than Anna Kendrick, Poppy's actress.
*Since Viva is Peppy's firstborn child, it's presumed that she was originally in line to become Queen of the Pop Trolls, but since she was separated from her family and her father thought she was gone, Peppy made Poppy his successor to rule the Pop Troll Kingdom.
*According to Poppy, Viva only braids the hair of the Trolls she loves. This is seen how she immediately braided Poppy's hair upon meeting her, even before knowing she was her sister, showing how much of a connection she felt for her. Later on, she braided Branch's hair, possibly because of seeing how much her sister loves him and, in this way, expressing her approval.
*Clay and Viva have been hinted as being a canon couple. The Trolls' official Twitter account confirmed their ship name on the aforementioned platform, which is Cliva.https://twitter.com/Trolls/status/1789047953862390174

*Viva's child appearance, which was fully designed, was going to be featured in the movie. However, it was eventually excluded due to time constraints.
