== Charactah Account ==
Triela has a sarcastic wit and prefers to wear masculine clothing. She serves as a sort of mentor/Mother to the other girls of the SWA and she retains the most realistic outlook on their situation.
Triela's preferred weapons are the SIG-Sauer P230 SL pistol (after losing her P230 to Pinocchio, she is given a 232-SL as a replacement) and the M1897 Trench Shotgun with bayonet attachment. She has also been shown using a selection of Heckler & Koch weaponry, including the H&K G3A3 battle rifle, the H&K P7M8 pistol, H&K UMP submachine gun and H&K MP7 PDW.
Triela was former victim of a Mafia child smuggling group based in Amsterdam, Triela was one among many who regularly suffered abuse in the form of drugs, torture, rape and mutilation for the making of "snuff" films. She was rescued by a pair of Europol detectives, one of whom was her future handler, Hilshire. After being mortally wounded in a gunfight, Hilshire's partner bravely used the last of her strength to perform CPR on Triela, enabling Hilshire to save the child's life.

== Trivia ==
* Triela is named after the city of Trier in the German wine-making region of the Mosel Valley, where her handler Hilshire originates from. Hilshire is from a winemaking family.
* Triela's first seven bears are named after Snow White's dwarves. The 8th bear is named Augustus (reference to 8th month and the Roman emperor). The other bears are Caligula and Claudius. This is a chronological series of Roman emperors with the omission of Tiberius, the emperor with father issues.
* Triela's character song is named "Dark Snow White" and she calls herself a fighting princess. Some panes in the manga depicting Triela sleeping are a reference to the fairy tale.
* In Chapter 51, Triela lights a large candle (Hilshire's) and passes the flame to a small one (hers). The small candle is completely snuffed midway through her conversation with Hilshire. See the lyrics for "Tatta Hitotsu no Omoi".
* There are multiple gags about Triela's hair being too long in the manga. She never did cut her hair and she does cut something else though.
