Trivia

• Her name appears to be an anagram of "Voila!", which is usually said after completing an impressive task.
  • In her case, it would pertain to her photography.
• Her name could also possibly be a reference to the violin beetle, a type of bug, which is the type of Pokémon that she uses.
• It may also allude to Viola, a genus of skippers (butterfly-like insects)
• According to the Gym Freaks TV show, the camera that she always has with her was a birthday gift from her sister Alexa.
• Unlike the first gym in earlier games, Pokémon up to Level 30 obey you rather than 20.
• So far, Viola is the first and only female bug-type trainer.
