Introduction
A member of the Desert Arcobaleno Gang, Viola was always one of the most daring of the group. She often supported Rosso's endeavors in her Redler, and had no fear of taking on even multiple heavily-armed Zoids by herself.

History
Youth, Episode 11
At a young age Viola left the Mt. Iselina Colony, which had been her home for her entire life, to join the Empire. She'd told her younger sister that the world would be a peaceful place one day, and that she wanted to fight to ensure that it would happen.des
Organoid Capture Attempt, Episode 2
When the gang returned with stories of a strange wild Zoid that had resurrected a Shield Liger, Rosso wanted it captured. Viola spoke to the village after the two Molgas of the group had made an impression with some warning shots and demanded that they hand over Sieg. To make their point, they took Bang's sister, Maria, hostage.
When they made the exchange, however, Verde went back on the agreement to return Maria, which sparked off a larger confrontation. Viola boarded her Redler and joined the skirmish against Bang's Shield Liger. At first she danced around the Zoid, which was sluggish after its revival. Then, however, the Organoid she'd been seeking fused to the Shield Liger. It regained the use of its missiles, which it used to shoot down the Redler, forcing the gang to retreat.
Organoid Capture Attempt 2, Episode 4
After hearing how the previous battle had gone, Rosso was even more convinced that the small wild Zoid must be an Organoid. Viola wasn't so convinced, certain that Organoids were nothing more than children's stories. Even so, she trusted Rosso's judgement. When the Shield Liger entered the battle she intercepted him, then was drawn away by Irvine's Command Wolf. While chasing the wolf through a canyon she temporarily lost line of sight. The Wolf came down from above, pouncing on her Redler, which caused it to crash.
Pteras Mission, Episode 7
Marcus, a member of the Empire, came to the Desert Arcobaleno Gang with a unique offer. If they took a Pteras and attacked the Republic side during the stand off at Red River, they'd allow them back into the Empire. This was promising, and Viola took the job of piloting the Pteras. Just as instructed she attacked the Empire side, but then she retreated towards the Imperial Army rather than the Republic, making it rather obvious that this was a false attack in the first place. When someone needed to be blamed for the whole incident, it was the Desert Arcobaleno Gang that took the fall.
Disbanding, Episode 8
After taking the fall, Rosso decided that getting Bang's Organoid was the only way to get them out of the situation. The group pursued Bang and Moonbay, cornering them outside the city as Viola and Giallo showed up in their aerial Zoids to cut off any path of escape. Though they later escaped, starting a battle, the entire group had to stop when the Empire showed up. They were looking for Rosso, and rather than let the entire gang take the fall, he disbanded the Desert Arcobaleno Gang, which devastated Viola.
Revenge, Episode 11
After the gang was disbanded Viola blamed Bang for it. However misguided that may've been, she went after him with Giallo. They tracked them to the Mt. Iselina Colony, Viola's own hometown. Her battle ended in her Redler being shot down, and when she tracked down Bang again and held a gun on him, she was caught by Rosa, her younger sister. She simply didn't understand what Viola was doing, and when Bang lied and claimed to be a bandit, trying to preserve Viola's image in her sister's mind in spite of the circumstances, Viola played along. Her grudge faded, and she fired the gun into the air, ordering Bang to leave the village.
Kidnapping of the Crowned Prince, Episode 19
While the group's Molga's blasted through a prison wall, Viola's Redler waited with a ladder to air-lift Rosso out of the area. Once free, she gave him an Iron Kong and explained that they were planning to kidnap the crowned prince. They weren't aware of the assassin unit already targeting him. After this unit tried to get rid of Viola and the others, she circled around and attacked the Command Wolves they'd been planning to use to frame the Republic for Rudolph's murder. This drew the attention of the Dark Horns guarding the palace. Moving quickly, she stashed her Redler and joined Rosso in breaking into the palace. She riddled the place with bullet holes, drawing the attention of any guards inside long enough for Rosso to crash through the window and point a gun right at the crowned prince. With no other choice, the guards stood down. Rudolph was kidnapped by Rosso and Viola as a consequence.
Exchange, Episode 20
Rosso stated that he intended to sell the prince to the highest bidder, which surprised Viola. She knew the other group likely had bad intentions, and didn't take Rosso for such a heartless person. Thankfully, Rosso had a change of heart. Metternich didn't intend to leave witnesses, and when Rosso launched the boobytrapped brief case back at them it gave him time to snatch Rudolph and flee. While they retreated, Viola provided cover fire, aiming for the group's Dark Horns to slow them down.
The Geno Saurer, Episode 21
Viola was looking for Rudolph, who'd wandered off into the woods and gotten lost when she was shot down by a strange Zoid. Rosso picked her up in his Iron Kong. They rushed to the battlefield where they found the Geno Saurer attacking Bang's group, who Rudolph had run into. Knowing the Geno Saurer would kill them all if they didn't intervene, Rosso and Viola decided to sacrifice themselves to hold it back in the Iron Kong.
Heroes of the Sky, Episode 29
When Viola next appeared it was as the masked hero, the Sword of Storms. Following the events against Raven's Geno Saurer, Rosso and Viola were rescued by Dr. D and the Republic. Now that they'd recovered, both vouched for them to test pilot the Republic's new state-of-the-art aircraft, the Storm Sworder. The test went fairly well, but once a communication came in about the crowned prince having been spotted, they faked a communication drop and flew into imperial territory. There they confronted Ralph and Mueller's Black Redler force, foiling Ralph's intentions to have Rudolph killed. They would continue to appear periodically to resolve just about any and all aerial complications for the main group.
Return of the Prince, Episode 33 ~ 34
When Rudolph was under siege by Prozen's henchmen, Rosso and Viola descended from the skies and shot down the enemy Rev Raptors. While Rosso held off their aerial opponents, Viola picked up Rudolph and rushed him to Guygalos just in time to interrupt Prozen's coronation. When he responded by launching his Death Saurer, they entered the battle, Viola in her Storm Sworder and Rudolph in his Royal Saber. The Death Saurer quickly revealed its most powerful weapon, the charged particle cannon, and began burning away anyone who opposed it. Rosso and Viola joined a plan to jam its particle intake fan and thereby, hopefully, jam up its particle cannon by firing Triple Sword Missiles into the fan itself. When Viola tried to fire on the intake fan the Death Saurer used its energized tail to knock not just the missiles but her Storm Sworder out of the air. Rosso succeeded with the second round of fire, and the Death Saurer was eventually defeated by Bang's Blade Liger.
Guardian Force
Storm Sworder Stealth Battle, Episode 45
While claiming to be on guard duty in Guygalos, Rosso, Viola, and Rudolph responded to the theft of two Storm Sworder Stealth units at Dragonhead Base. Viola's Storm Sworder was taken out almost immediately by the fast stealth unit.
The Grand Prix, Episode 53
When the Empire received word that Prozen loyalists had hired an assassin to take out Emperor Rudolph, it was generally agreed that the most likely place for this to transpire was the Guylos Grand Prix. Every year the emperor opened the ceremonies, giving their enemies a perfect opportunity. Rosso and Viola both showed up to guard his booth. Towards the end of the event there were explosions nearby, prompting them both to move into the hall where they were targeted by smoke canisters. The Phantom made his way into the room and fired at what he thought was Rudolph, only to learn it was a hologram. Rosso, Viola, Bang, and Thoma flooded into the room after him. Trapped, he had no choice but to surrender.
The Gravity Cannon, Episode 61
While Rudolph and Homalev were visiting a secret base, where Dr. D was carrying out the development of the Gravity Cannon, the largest weapon ever built, Hiltz sent forces to destroy the facility. It was overrun by Black Redlers and Stealth Vipers, and they would've been forced to abandon the facility had Rosso and Viola not shown up in their Storm Sworders to destroy the attacking Zoids.
Defense of Mt. Iselina, Episode 63
For a time, Rosso, Rudolph, and Viola were helping to keep track of the Death Stinger. It eventually disappeared from their radar, and they reported this back to the Ultra Saurus. During field tests the Ultra Saurus received emergency transmissions from the Sand Colony that the Death Stinger had surfaced there, then headed northwest towards Mt. Iselina, Viola's home. The tests were too important to cancel, so Rosso and Viola insisted that they continue them as-is while they themselves went to defend the colony. While Rosso distracted the Death Stinger Viola landed near Rosa, insisting that her sister get into the Storm Sworder. She had two young children with her as well as the village elder, but there wasn't room for everyone. The village elder chose to stay behind, giving Rosa and the kids a chance to survive. Viola had to keep going, even as Rosa begged her to turn back and save him. The entirety of their home village was destroyed by the particle cannon only seconds later, but thankfully emergency response crews had arrived in time to evacuate most of the inhabitants.
