| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * AerithAndBob: Their naming conventions are all over the place. Regular names such as Poppy, Maddy and Harper are mixed in with names such as Branch, Guy Diamond and Fuzzbert. |
| 12 | * AllTakeAndNoGive: In their past when all the Troll Tribes were united, they took the Strings and played only their music without giving any of the others a chance to play. |
| 13 | * AllTrollsAreDifferent: They are colourful, cheerful beings that love Pop music and are the happiest beings in the world. |
| 14 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The majority of their population come in all different vibrant colours. |
| 15 | * CrazySurvivalist: Though they aren't crazy, the Putt-Putt Trolls have been training themselves in case of the Bergens attacking once more. Clay refers to them as 'survivors' at one point. |
| 16 | * DoomedHometown: Their village suffers attacks by both the Bergens and Rock Trolls which leaves it in ruins both times. |
| 17 | * PlanetOfHats: Their tribe is revealed to be centered around Pop music. |

| 24 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/AnnaKendrick (movies and ''WesternAnimation/TrollsHoliday''), Iris Dohrn (baby Poppy, movie), Creator/AmandaLeighton (''[[WesternAnimation/TrollsTheBeatGoesOn TBGO]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/TrollsTrollstopia TrollsTopia]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TrollsRemixRescue Remix Rescue]]'') |
| 25 | [[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twt_poppy.png]] |
| 26 | |
| 27 | The princess and later queen of the Pop Trolls, and the overall protagonist of the movies. |
| 28 | ---- |
| 29 | * AllLovingHeroine: Poppy believes that everyone deserves happiness from the cynical Branch to [[spoiler:the ever-gloomy Bergens]]. |
| 30 | * AlternateSelf: In the 2D series, Poppy had met a few counterparts of her from alternate dimensions whenever it came to wormholes. The only one who had a notable role in an episode, though, is Pushy Poppy from the ''[=TrollsTopia=]'' episode "Wormhole Scavenger Hunt", serving as a {{Jerkass}} and AlphaBitch contrast to the original Poppy. |
| 31 | * BadassAdorable: She's a cute, friendly, and excitable Troll who anyone would want to hug. She's also an effective leader. |
| 32 | * BadassPacifist: [[spoiler:Poppy manages to stop the Bergens from eating Trolls by showing that they can attain happiness just by looking inside themselves and finding it with each other, using Gristle Jr. and Bridget's natural happiness when around each other despite neither one having ever ate a Troll.]] |
| 33 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She's nice, optimistic and friendly to all... but [[spoiler:when Creek blatantly admits to selling out the others to save himself, she attempts to ''strangle'' him with her hair, and the her friends had to drag her away]]. |
| 34 | * BigNo: She screams one as she pulls a DivingSave to save Branch. |
| 35 | * BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The peppy and ever optimistic Gentle Girl to Branch's cynical and anti-social Brooding Boy. [[spoiler:They switch roles after Creek betrays the Trolls to Chef to save himself, leaving Poppy with a major HeroicBSOD and Branch trying to reignite her former optimism.]] |
| 36 | * TheChiefsDaughter: Her father is the king of a tribe of trolls for most of the first film, and she becomes said tribe's queen when Peppy steps down at the end. |
| 37 | * CostumeEvolution: |
| 38 | ** In the first film, Poppy wears a cyan dress with a light blue, wavy spade-like pattern across the hemline, and a green thin headband surrounded by blue flowers. In ''World Tour'', the hemline changes to a flower-esque pattern and a darker color than the rest of her dress, and her headband gets a major overhaul with a thicker front and a larger number of flowers that alternate between blue and green. She gets an even more drastic change for ''Band Together'', wherein her dress and headband are given a knitted texture (as well as another entire redesign for the latter, now blue and green with the flowers replaced by a leaves and a couple sprigs), and she starts wearing striped leg warmers. |
| 39 | ** Poppy also goes through a different evolution in the spin-off TV shows. Within the first four seasons of ''The Beat Goes On!'', her outfit is almost identical to the one she had in the first movie, albeit with a thicker, less detailed hemline. In the series' second half, the color scheme of her dress is inverted with the addition of a pink heart button. She returns to the original outfit in ''[=TrollsTopia=]'', but with the dress' hemline turning thinner and the headband's flowers becoming tulip-like. |
| 40 | * CuddleBug: While most Trolls love to hug, Poppy loves it so much that she created "Hug Time". |
| 41 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Pink hair and pink eyes. |
| 42 | * CuteClumsyGirl: Most of the time in both TV series, at times she often trips, loses balance and drops stuff. |
| 43 | * {{Determinator}}: Absolutely ''refuses'' to give up hope until her friends are saved. |
| 44 | * DivingSave: Pulls one in the climax of the first movie to save Branch from being force-fed to Gristle. |
| 45 | * EveryoneHasStandards: As much she is a fan of Branch's family boyband, Poppy is disturbed that Branch's three older brothers treat him like a baby and finds their intentions to separate again after rescuing Floyd selfish, as she realizes that they weren't thinking about how Floyd and Branch would feel about it. |
| 46 | * ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: Poppy quickly figures out some parts of John Dory's personality, even though he points out that she has made a lot assumptions about someone she just met. |
| 47 | * FatalFlaw: Noticeable in the first movie but brought up front in ''Trolls Holiday'' and ''World Tour'' is how she's enthusiastic to a fault. Her belief that things will work out combined with her default response to obstacles being a harder push combines into a tendency to innocently steamroll her friends. She ends up not listening to them as she overbears to resolve what she sees as a problem. In the first movie this causes her to unintentionally pressure Branch's trauma, while in the sequel she unknowingly repeats the actions [[spoiler:that divided the Troll tribes in the first place]]. |
| 48 | * FlowersOfFemininity: She's a PrettyPrincessPowerhouse who is [[PinkMeansFeminine entirely pink]], and wears a flower crown in her hair. |
| 49 | * ForHappiness: Her ''mondus operandi''. She wants all the Trolls [[spoiler:and even the Bergens]] to be as happy as possible. |
| 50 | * FriendToAllChildren: Poppy is friends with the young Trolls at her home and Tiny Diamond. Also, Poppy quickly befriends Bruce's children, even having them help her motivate Bruce and Branch into singing a song. |
| 51 | * GenkiGirl: She's ridiculously hyperactive, and enthusiastic about everything she does. |
| 52 | * GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: The Gleeful to Branch's Grumpy. |
| 53 | * GoodIsNotDumb: She may be naïve, but she proves to be more resourceful and cunning when push comes to shove. And she even admits that while she knows the world isn't all "rainbows and cupcakes", she wants to go on believing ''most'' of it is. |
| 54 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Poppy may be sweet and compassionate, but she is ''scary'' when angry. |
| 55 | * HammerspaceHair: Somehow, she manages to pull a cowbell out of her hair several times throughout the movie, even when it looks like the hair is flat against her head. Branch even pulls a pair of scissors from her hair at one point. |
| 56 | * HappyHolidaysDress: |
| 57 | ** In ''Holiday'', she wears an ice blue and white fur dress with a snow motif, and a matching holly headband. |
| 58 | ** She wears a similar outfit in ''Holiday in Harmony'', only green instead blue. |
| 59 | * TheHeart: She is the one who holds the Troll village together. So when she temporarily loses all hope of escaping the Bergens, ''every'' Trolls does so. At the same time, when her optimism is reignited, so is theirs. |
| 60 | * TheHero: The main protagonist who sets off to save her friends. |
| 61 | * HiddenDepths: She's more resourceful and clever than her initially overly optimistic (bordering on naivete) personality lets on. |
| 62 | * ImpliedLoveInterest: With Branch. While Branch is heavily implied to have romantic feelings for Poppy and she seems to reciprocate in the final act, in the end nothing is outright stated. Averted in the sequel, where it's confirmed that Branch has feelings for Poppy, and he spends a fair amount of time trying to tell her how he feels. |
| 63 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Her constant plunky optimism tens to delve into this at times, either ignoring or trying to "fix" other people's feelings and opinions if they don't fit into her rose-colored worldview. |
| 64 | * ItWasWithYouAllAlong: Teaches the Bergens that happiness is not something they put in them as they had it the whole time. |
| 65 | * JerkassRealization: In ''World Tour'', Poppy realize that she has been acting like a jerk in not listening to those around her, especially her friends and family. |
| 66 | * LeeroyJenkins: She has a habit of rushing out to help others without planning and thinking that everything will just work out. |
| 67 | * MeaningfulName: The queen of the Pop Trolls is named '''Pop'''py. |
| 68 | * ModestRoyalty: Despite being a queen, she wears comfortable clothing like the rest of her people. |
| 69 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In ''World Tour'', Poppy has this reaction when she realizes that she hadn't been listening to those around her and her actions caused her to push her friends Biggie and Branch away. |
| 70 | * NoOneGetsLeftBehind: She immediately decides to dispatch on a mission to save her friends when they get kidnapped by The Chef, and refuses to go home until she saves them ''all.'' Near the end of the movie, this extends to the Bergens as a well. |
| 71 | --> '''Poppy''': "She deserves to be happy as much as we do! ''[[spoiler:They all do.]]''" |
| 72 | * NotSoAboveItAll: In the first film, Poppy reprimands Branch for using his hair to strangle Creek, insisting that violence isn't the answer and they should hear what he has to say. [[spoiler:Creek then admits that [[DirtyCoward he's selling out the whole tribe in order to save himself]], at which point an enraged Poppy then begins strangling him with her own hair exactly as Branch was previously doing.]] |
| 73 | * NiceGirl: She's an absolute sweetheart. |
| 74 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: In ''Trolls'', Poppy makes the 20th anniversary party too loud and flashy, which causes the Trolls to be discovered by Chef. |
| 75 | * OfficialCouple: With Branch, at the end of Trolls World Tour. |
| 76 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: If Poppy loses all hope or tries to strangle someone, then things are serious. |
| 77 | * ThePollyanna: She's extremely optimistic about whatever she does. She also tells Branch early on in their journey that she's perfectly aware life isn't all cupcakes and rainbows, but she likes to believe most of it is. |
| 78 | * PinkGirlBlueBoy: The Pink Girl to [[spoiler:Branch's Blue Boy]]. |
| 79 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Her entire body is pink. |
| 80 | * PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: The kind and lovely princess/queen of the trolls proves to be resourceful, brave, and ''extremely'' determined. |
| 81 | * PrincessesRule: Averted. She starts out as a princess, but only rules officially when her father the king steps down and she is crowned as queen. |
| 82 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's the Trolls' princess and later queen, and takes it upon herself to protect her people. |
| 83 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The ever optimistic and peppy Energetic Girl to Branch's ever cynical and overly cautious Savvy Guy. |
| 84 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: |
| 85 | ** Poppy is initially romantically interested with Creek, given the latter's mellow and friendly disposition. [[spoiler:And she is left furious and disappointed by his betrayal]]. |
| 86 | ** Despite their initial relationship strain and differences, Poppy develops romantic feelings for Branch - the troll who is honest with her, demonstrated feats of bravery and loyalty, and brought her back from her own moment of despair. |
| 87 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's the girly girl to DJ Suki, Smidge, and Barb's tomboys. |
| 88 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In ''World Tour'', she spends most of the movie constantly ignoring her friends and not considering the consequences of her poor decisions. Branch [[WhatTheHellHero calls her out for her demeanor]]. |
| 89 | -->'''Branch:''' ...your dad was right and Biggie was right and Queen Essence was right. And I've been backing you up even when you ignore them. But you never listen to me. |
| 90 | * UniversallyBelovedLeader: All of the Trolls of her village adore and love her, even [[TheCynic Branch]]. And it appears that all the Bergens and the entire Troll Kingdom like her as well when she helps them attain true happiness and harmony, respectively. The only ones that clearly don't like Poppy are Chef and Creek, the two antagonists from the first movie. |

| 93 | [[folder:Branch]] |
| 94 | -->'''Voiced by''': Music/JustinTimberlake (movies and ''Trolls Holiday''), Liam Henry (younger Branch, ''Trolls''), Creator/SkylarAstin (''The Beat Goes On!'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/TrollsTrollstopia TrollsTopia]]''), Iris Dohrn (baby Branch, ''Trolls Band Together''), Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor (''Trolls Remix Rescue'') |
| 95 | [[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trolls_branch.png]] |
| 96 | |
| 97 | The deuteragonist of the movies. A gloomy survivalist troll who accompanies Poppy on her quests. |
| 98 | ---- |
| 99 | * AffectionateNickname: While originally his stage names, his brothers, excluding Floyd, when reuniting with Branch after 2 decades, all either call him ‘Bitty B’ or ‘Baby Branch’. This is more of a way to show affection than a way to demote him as a baby compared to the rest of their actions towards him throughout the movie. |
| 100 | * AloofAlly: In the first movie, Branch is ''very'' reluctant to socialize with his peers and initially refused to help Poppy save them. |
| 101 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Branch explains in the first film that he used to live with his grandmother when he was a child[[spoiler:, and he began living as a recluse after she was tragically eaten by the Bergens]]. His actual mother or father are never seen or mentioned, not even in the third film when his four older brothers are introduced. |
| 102 | * AntiHero: He's one of the good guys but can be cynical, gloomy, and pragmatic. |
| 103 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: Literally in his past as a member of [=BroZone=] his nickname was Baby Branch because he is the youngest of five brothers. Even after 20 years had passed, when reuniting with John Dory, Bruce, and Clay, Branch is still treated like he were a baby, with John Dory attempting to carry him, Bruce tossing him like a baby would be tossed, and Clay’s comments about him being adorable, much to his displeasure and slight embarrassment. Averted with Floyd, who sees Branch for the grown-up he's become. |
| 104 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: While on their way to rescue the captured trolls, Branch cynically states that he can't wait to see the look on Poppy's face when she realizes the world isn't all "rainbows and cupcakes". [[spoiler:And in the DarkestHour, when it seems like their entire species (save the traitorous Creek) will be eaten, Poppy loses all hope which is symbolized by losing her colors; before losing her colors, she sullenly states that Branch was right about his earlier statement about their being no such thing as "rainbows and cupcakes". The look on Branch's face at Poppy's words confirms that he regrets his earlier wish.]] |
| 105 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Part of Branch's crush on Poppy is because she is the first Troll that isn't his family, his grandmother and brother Floyd, to have treated him with kindness. |
| 106 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Inverted. One of his most defining traits in ''Band Together'' is his determination to help Floyd. Despite his initial annoyance to reunite with the brothers that abandoned him, Branch quickly decides to help them when he learns Floyd has been kidnaped. He shows several times his concern for Floyd's well-being and is determined to save him even without the help of his other brothers. |
| 107 | ** When Branch finally reunites with Floyd, he refuses to abandon him when the latter asks him to [[spoiler:and is the one who catches him when he is freed from his diamond prison, in addition to being the first to hug him in joy when Floyd wakes up from his DisneyDeath.]] |
| 108 | * BigDamnHeroes: Comes to the princess' rescue after she's nearly eaten by spiders. |
| 109 | * BlueBoyPinkGirl: [[spoiler:The Blue Boy to Poppy's Pink Girl, once his colors are restored.]] |
| 110 | * BlueIsHeroic: [[spoiler:His original color is blue and he remains a grumpy, but heroic Troll.]] |
| 111 | * BrainyBrunette: The only known Troll with black hair, the OnlySaneMan among them, and a CrazyPrepared survivalist who ''built'' his own bunker. [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} after he regains his true color, turning his hair blue.]] |
| 112 | * BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The cynical and anti-social Brooding Boy to Poppy's peppy and ever optimistic Gentle Girl. [[spoiler:They switch roles after Creek betrays the Trolls to Chef to save himself, leaving Poppy with a major Heroic B.S.O.D. and Branch trying to reignite her former optimism.]] |
| 113 | * ButtMonkey: Mainly whenever Cloud Guy's involved, but he suffers a ''lot'' in ''The Beat Goes On!'', especially in earlier episodes. |
| 114 | * CannotSpitItOut: |
| 115 | ** In ''World Tour'', he can't express his feelings for Poppy, which is not helped by the fact that she doesn't give him a chance. However, Branch does confess his feelings for Poppy towards the end of the film. |
| 116 | ** In ''Band Together'', he also attempts to tell Poppy about his brothers, but loses his nerve. Also, he has a tough time saying the right words to his brothers about his feelings and life growing up. Branch has made many attempt to give his brothers a hint of his feelings and the life he had growing up, but are oblivious to his feelings and are left confused as to what he is talking about, especially when he tries to relate to Viva and help her open up to the outside world. It takes Branch snapping at them and the drawing of his bunker to get his brothers to realize his intentions, which leaves them feeling guilty for hurting Branch and not noticing his intentions sooner. |
| 117 | * CharacterDevelopment: He starts off as an ''incredibly'' cynical Troll. Come the end, there's little cynicism left in him. A recurring plotline in ''The Beat Goes On!'' is increasing his socializing with regular village events, culminating in him willingly hosting parties in his bunker. |
| 118 | ** A major focus of ''Band Together'' is getting him to open up more, not just to his brothers that have come back in his life, but to his fellow Trolls, and especially to his girlfriend Poppy. |
| 119 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Branch can be seen as this for Poppy, where she often just rushes out thinking everything will be ok, he is usually there to help her and try to rescue her when her high optimism backfires. |
| 120 | * ColorMotif: He's introduced as the only troll who's in complete grey tones instead of a vibrant hue, signifying him as a cynical misfit to contrast with Poppy. When he regains his hope at the climax he regains the colors he lost in his childhood trauma. Follow up material is inconsistent on whether he keeps this; in ''The Beat Goes On'', he's consistently in his vibrant colors while in ''World Tour'' it shifts depending on the scene. |
| 121 | * CompanionCube: His remote control he dubs "Gary" in ''The Beat Goes On!''. |
| 122 | * TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Zig-zagged. He complains of certain things that make him seem like a killjoy, but sometimes he's in the right. ''The Beat Goes On!'' showcases that his warnings aren't always out of paranoia, but that Poppy's methods aren't exactly wrong either and that both of their opinions compliment each other. |
| 123 | * CrazyPrepared: He says so himself. |
| 124 | -->'''Branch:''' ''(to Poppy)'' I really only have enough supplies down here to last me 10 years. 11 if I'm willing to store and drink my own sweat -- ''which I am''. You all said ''I'' was crazy, huh? Who’s crazy now? Me. '''''[[TitleDrop Crazy-prepared]].''''' |
| 125 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: [[spoiler: After gaining his true colors back, Branch has blue eyes and hair.]] |
| 126 | * TheCynic: The only one of the Trolls with a sour and pessimistic disposition. |
| 127 | * CynicismCatalyst: He became bitter and gloomy after [[spoiler:his singing caused a Bergen to find and eat his grandmother when he was a child]]. |
| 128 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:After his singing indirectly led Chef to finding him and his grandmother, the Bergen ate her, leaving him in a deep depression that caused him to lose his colors and refuse to sing again.]] |
| 129 | * ADayInTheLimelight: While the first two films were focused mainly on Poppy, the third film has Branch take the lead. |
| 130 | * DeadpanSnarker: Branch never misses an opportunity to make dry and sarcastic remarks, particularly towards Poppy. |
| 131 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: The second main focus after Poppy. |
| 132 | * FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:The reason behind his dislike of singing is that when he sang as a child, it indirectly led Chef to him and his grandmother, leading to the latter's death. Which is what made him lose his color and become obsessed with protecting himself from the Bergens. The third film reveals his trust issues stemmed from his older brothers abandoning him when he was a baby, which is what made it so difficult for him to open to other people, including Poppy.]] |
| 133 | * GadgeteerGenius: He was able to make ''an entire bunker'' on his own. |
| 134 | * GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: The Grumpy to Poppy's Gleeful, though he progressively became less grumpy over the franchise's timeline. |
| 135 | * GloomyGray: Branch is the only troll who isn't brightly colored, instead having bluish-grey skin to emphasize his grumpy and cynical nature. It is implied that his state of mind in fact causes him to look like that, as he had teal skin and blue hair when he was a baby. |
| 136 | * GoodIsNotDumb: Branch is a highly intelligent Troll, capable of building his own safe bunker. |
| 137 | * GoodIsNotNice: Branch is on the heroes' side but is also a pragmatic Grumpybear |
| 138 | * GoofyPrintUnderwear Branch suffers this embarrassingly twice in the series In "Meet The Peppy" and "Bringing Up Birdie". |
| 139 | * GrewASpine: Branch stands up to his three older brothers by telling them how he feels as he calls them out for how they treated him and for their selfish actions. |
| 140 | * HiddenDepths: He's shown to be an excellent poet. |
| 141 | * HopeBringer: [[spoiler:Becomes this to Poppy and, by extent, the rest of the Trolls by restoring Poppy's colors with his rendition of "True Colors".]] |
| 142 | * IcyBlueEyes: His piercing, blue eyes represent his aloof nature. |
| 143 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: Despite his insistence on not needing anyone, he nonetheless expresses a desire for friendship when he gazes at Poppy's invitations in his bunker. |
| 144 | * IHaveNoSon: Branch initially refuses to call John Dory his brother. This is because he is still wounded by his and the other brothers abandonment. |
| 145 | * ImpliedLoveInterest: With Poppy. While Branch is heavily implied to have romantic feelings for Poppy and she seems to reciprocate in the final act, in the end nothing is outright stated. Averted in the sequel, where it's confirmed that Branch does indeed have a crush on Poppy and he spends a fair amount of time trying to screw up the courage to tell her how he feels. |
| 146 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Makes an offhanded remark about disco being dead in front of the Funk Troll royal family, who take offense but decide not to make a big fuss over it. |
| 147 | * {{Irony}}: [[spoiler: He's the most cynical Troll of the village, and later in the climax, out of all the Trolls to be the HopeBringer, it's him]]. |
| 148 | * ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Blames himself for the death of his grandmother because Chef followed his singing straight to them. This can also double up as a case of {{Survivor Guilt}} as well.]] |
| 149 | * JerkassHasAPoint: A killjoy he may be, but he makes good points throughout the film, most notably about how the Trolls making loud music will attract a Bergen. |
| 150 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is not Jerk, but he does acts apathetic and is a bit of a killjoy, but in the end he will do the right thing. |
| 151 | * {{Keet}}: Implied when he was Bitty B, at least. Being the youngest, Branch was seemingly the most excitable, animated, and fun loving of his brothers. |
| 152 | ** At the end of the movie, where he is finally reunited with his brothers, Branch is once again a lot more animated in comparison to the rest of the brothers, making him a fit for this trope. |
| 153 | * TheLancer: The secondary protagonist and {{Foil}} to Poppy. |
| 154 | * LivingADoubleLife: PlayedForLaughs. While he was only a baby when [=BroZone=] split up, the ending of the third film reveals that Branch [[spoiler:has also been performing with [[Music/{{NSync}} another successful boy band]] in his adult years, and he somehow managed to keep it a secret from everyone, including Poppy.]] |
| 155 | * LonersAreFreaks: Branch takes survival to the point of storing his own sweat in jars to shore up water supplies in case he needs to hole up by himself in his bunker for years. Being mostly alone for so long clearly has gotten to him, and (particularly at the beginning of the film), the rest of the trolls treat him with various levels of derision due to it. |
| 156 | * LonerTurnedFriend: While he wasn't a full-on IneffectualLoner, Branch definitely was only barely social with the rest of Troll Village at the start of the film. By the end of the film and continuing onto the series, he's much more integrated with the village as a whole, even if he's gruff, pessimistic, and more than a little paranoid about it. |
| 157 | * MetaGuy: Particularly in ''The Beat Goes On'', Branch tends to comment on some of the various things that others take for granted, such as Poppy's rant about The Giver dodging a thank-you card in "The Giver" or the FireballEyeballs everyone gets when talking about Smidge in "Prank Day." |
| 158 | * NiceGuy: When he is not being a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, he's a very friendly troll. |
| 159 | * OfficialCouple: With Poppy, at the end of Trolls World Tour. |
| 160 | * PoorCommunicationKills: In ''Band Together'', Branch could have prevented his three brothers from making the same mistake in separating again sooner if he had immediately told them about his feelings and life growing up. To be fair, his brothers didn't give him much of chance to do so, due to being focus on rescuing Floyd. |
| 161 | * ProperlyParanoid: He wasn't wrong about the trolls' loud singing leading the Bergens right to them. |
| 162 | * RageBreakingPoint: Branch has been holding back his anger and hurt with his brothers for leaving him to grow up alone. However, after hearing that his three older brothers intend to go their separate ways again and hurt his feelings for wanting to be a family, Branch snaps at them for their selfish behavior and leaves them. |
| 163 | * RaisedByGrandparents: [[spoiler:Given the fact that Branch doesn't mention his parents during his story, it's safe to assume he was raised by his grandmother before her death.]] |
| 164 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The ever cynical and overly cautious Savvy Guy to Poppy's ever optimistic and peppy Energetic Girl. |
| 165 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Before CharacterDevelopment, Branch served as the grumpy and sour manly man to the male Pop Trolls' energetic and sunny sensitive guys. |
| 166 | * SourOutsideSadInside: Boy is he ever. On the outside he's cynical and a killjoy. On the inside, he has a ''deep'' pain over [[spoiler:accidentally leading Chef to him and his grandmother, leading to her death]]. |
| 167 | * TookALevelInCheerfulness: Case in point he goes from hating Hug Times to [[spoiler:asking one from Poppy at the end]]. |
| 168 | * TookALevelInIdealism: Branch starts off as an incredibly cynical and gloomy pessimist who believes that there is no good in the world. But his adventure with Poppy reignited his once-gone optimism to the point that he managed to [[spoiler:pull Poppy out of a HeroicBSOD]]. |
| 169 | * TookALevelInKindness: While he was never outright heartless, his gloomy nature made him quite mean and cold at times. CharacterDevelopment has him become more soft and sensitive. |
| 170 | * TragicKeepsake: All the objects he keeps from his time as a member of his brothers' boyband can count after they broke up, but the most important is his iconic leafy vest which was a gift from Floyd so that Branch wouldn't feel sad when he misses him. |
| 171 | * WasTooHardOnHer: In ''World Tour'', after getting upset with Poppy for not listening to him and their friends and leaving her, Branch wonders if he was too hard on her and regrets leaving her. |
| 172 | * WhatTheHellHero: In ''Band Together'', Branch calls out his three older brothers for their selfish behavior and for treating him like a baby. |
| 173 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Branch was once [=BroZone=]'s baby, but at present he does not look like the youngest of his brothers and could be pass for Clay and Floyd's older brother. |
| 174 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In ''The Beat Goes On!'', he's given a fear of birds, as seen in the episode ''Bringing Up Birdy''. |

| 181 | |
| 182 | A large Troll who regularly carries around a pet worm named Mr. Dinkles. |
| 183 | ---- |
| 184 | * BigFun: The biggest of his friends and just as fun-loving as them. |
| 185 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: When paired up with Smidge. |
| 186 | * DemotedToExtra: In ''Trolls Band Together'' he only has a singular line in the beginning while his pet worm Mr. Dinkles appears without him in two scenes. |
| 187 | * GentleGiant: His sweetness also matches his huge height. |
| 188 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Biggie is quiet, shy, soft-spoken, and gentle, with a reluctant outlook to life; while Smidge is loud, aggressive and bolder with her approach in contrast. |
| 189 | * MeaningfulName: ''Biggie'' is the biggest of his friends. |
| 190 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In ''World Tour'', Biggie has a guilty look on his face when he realizes that he should't have left Poppy, especially when he sees the damage the Rock Troll has done to Pop village. |
| 191 | * NiceGuy: A very nice troll. |

| 198 | Biggie's pet worm whom he's rarely seen without. |
| 199 | ---- |
| 200 | * NonHumanSidekick: Well non-humanoid sidekick, he's one to Biggie. |
| 201 | * PokemonSpeak: Just "Meeps" a good chuck of the time. Though apparently, most get a full sentence out of him by just that alone. |
| 202 | * SignatureHeadgear: He wears a top hat. |
| 203 | * SuddenlyVoiced: On occasion, usually as a one-off joke. Most of the time it's in a dream or something and he'll go right back to his usual "Meep" speech. |

| 209 | |
| 210 | A giraffe-like Troll. |
| 211 | ---- |
| 212 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: ''World Tour'' reveals that Cooper [[spoiler:was found by the Pop Trolls when he was a baby, and he later meets his biological family when he finds the Funk Trolls. His adopted parents in the Pop Village, if he had any, are never seen or mentioned.]] |
| 213 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Downplayed. Even though he's not powerful or easily enraged, he clearly knows when he or his friends and loved ones can be endangered, and is willing to fight whenever that happens, which has been shown in both movies. [[spoiler:In the first movie, he does the final act against Chef by tossing a lit match at the cooking pot she was on. In ''World Tour'', he tries to help the other Funk Trolls fight against the Rock Trolls.]] |
| 214 | * TheFool: Ventures forth out of the village in ''World Tour'' to see if there are more trolls like him without much of a plan, wandering around aimlessly enough that he ultimately succeeds, and all but accidentally [[spoiler:rediscovers music after the strings are destroyed.]] |
| 215 | * HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:Even after learning that he's really a Funk Troll, Cooper still loves the Pop Trolls that have cared for him for all his life, and chooses to embrace both Funk and Pop as part of his identity.]] |
| 216 | * HollywoodGenetics: He has pink fur, which [[spoiler:neither King Quincy and Queen Essence have]]. |
| 217 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: He looks completely different to all the other trolls, to the point it's easy to assume he is just a weird animal from the movie's setting and not a troll. Lampshaded with Poppy talking about how special he is when looking at pictures of all her friends. [[spoiler:Turns out, it's because he's actually a Funk Troll.]] |
| 218 | * PerpetualSmiler: He almost always has a goofy grin on his face. |
| 219 | * PoopingFood: He poops cupcakes [[BowelBreakingBricks after Chef crashes the party]]. This is made a running gag in ''The Beat Goes On'', with him even having a stand giving them away at one point. In ''World Tour'' he poops an [[SequelEscalation entire three-layer birthday cake]], complete with lit candles. |
| 220 | * ReallyRoyaltyReveal: [[spoiler:After reuniting with his parents, he learns he's one of the twin princes of the Funk Trolls.]] |
| 221 | * {{Retcon}}: |
| 222 | ** Cooper casually mentions having an uncle in the first movie, which seems to contradict the revelation in ''World Tour'' [[spoiler:he isn't actually from the Pop Tribe and his real family are the Funk Trolls, though he may have been referring to an uncle figure in his unseen adopted family.]] |
| 223 | ** An episode of ''The Beat Goes On'' has Cooper recalling that his earliest memory was "emerging from the womb", implying that he was given birth to. A flashback in ''World Tour'' would later reveal that Cooper actually hatched from an egg. |
| 224 | * SignatureHeadgear: He wears a green hat. |
| 225 | * ThoseTwoGuys: With Biggie. |

| 233 | A small Troll with a deep voice. |

| 235 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: When paired up with Biggie. |
| 236 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Oh my Guh!" |
| 237 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Has noticeably not appeared in 3D media since ''World Tour'', being absent from ''Holiday in Harmony'' and does not appear in ''Trolls Band Together''. |
| 238 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Her eyes are the same color as her hair. |
| 239 | * DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: If she's not careful, she can shatter ''every'' bone in a Troll's body (except their skull), with a mere ''high-five''. |
| 240 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Smidge is loud, aggressive and bold with her approach to life; while Biggie is quiet, shy, soft-spoken, and gentle, with a reluctant outlook in contrast. |
| 241 | * MeaningfulName: ''Smidge'' is the smallest of her friends. |
| 242 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: Despite being the smallest of her peers, she can lift some pretty heavy things with her hair. Indeed, she is supposed to be the only troll capable of making stoutberry juice because she is the only troll strong enough to juice them. |
| 243 | * SheCleansUpNicely: Often dons a few dresses in ''The Beat Goes On'', and she looks quite cute in them. |
| 244 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: What her relationship with Poppy is usually displayed as in the movies, ''The Beat Goes On!'' and ''[=TrollsTopia=]''. She's the Tomboy while Poppy's the Girly Girl. |
| 245 | * VocalDissonance: She is the smallest and most feminine-looking Troll, but has a gravelly, deep voice [[CrossDressingVoices provided by a man]]. |

| 250 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/satin_chenille.png]] |
| 251 | |
| 252 | A pair of conjoined Pop Troll twins who are also fashionistas. |
| 253 | ---- |
| 254 | * ADayInTheLimelight: They got their own short, ''Together'', by the time ''Trolls Holiday'' aired for the first time. |
| 255 | * TheDividual: Of the Syndividual type. Yet this is pretty much downplayed, as both have their own personalities and can be independent from each other. |
| 256 | * ChainedHeat: The main premise of their starring short ''Together''. |
| 257 | * ConjoinedTwins: Parodied; they're connected at the hair. |
| 258 | * CoordinatedClothes: They both wear the same design on their top but Satin wears it as a leotard while Chenille wears it as a dress, with the pattern in the opposite direction. This is justified in ''The Beat Goes On!'', as due to the fact that for one to wear something, the other has to put it on upside down and push it along their hair first. |
| 259 | * TheFashionista: “The Fashion Twins,” are the most fashion-forward members of the Snack Pack, and their fashion knowledge is extensive, covering everything from haute couture runways to the latest street fashions. |
| 260 | * HandWave: In ''The Beat Goes On!'', Branch asks why, if they want to spend time apart, they don't just cut the connection in their hair. But they, as well Poppy, are ''aghast'' at the idea and he's just dismissed as not understanding. |
| 261 | * SharePhrase: "LET'S DO IT!" |
| 262 | * SiblingRivalry: On occasion, ''The Beat Goes On!'' shows that, like any siblings, they have their disagreements and fights, especially when it comes to fashion and how to do clothes. But they do love each other and will eventually make up. |
| 263 | * ThoseTwoGirls: Justified: They physically cant't be apart as they're conjoined at the hair. |

| 269 | |
| 270 | A glittery Troll who is always naked. |
| 271 | ---- |
| 272 | * AttentionWhore: Out of all the Snack Pack, his main trait is a desire for attention. In the series he [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall calls himself]] ''the'' glitter troll and has egotistical motivations. This doesn't usually detract from his positive qualities, but it can lead to strife if he feels like attention is being drawn away from himself. |
| 273 | * AutoTune: He speaks in auto-tune throughout the first movie. [[CharacterizationMarchesOn It's still present in later installments from time to time, but less prominent]]. |
| 274 | * BadassAdorable: Of all of the trolls, he is one of the most proactive. |
| 275 | * EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: His body is covered in glitter. |
| 276 | * MisterSeahorse: Gives birth to a Hip Hop Troll named Tiny Diamond in World Tour. |
| 277 | * NakedPeopleAreFunny: He wears no clothing. It's highlighted in ''The Beat Goes On!'' when he tried out to be a fashion model for Satin and Chenille, only to have the wearing of clothes drive him crazy. By contrast, the other Pop Trolls react to Glitter Trolls ''wearing'' pants like it's streaking. |
| 278 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: He has a "unique" sense of personal space. |
| 279 | * ToiletHumor: He farts glitter, and both the films and the series have fun with this. |
| 280 | * UnmovingPlaid: In the series, his glitter pattern does not move. |

| 286 | |
| 287 | The resident DJ Troll of Pop Village. |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * BilingualBonus: "Suki" is a Japanese word meaning roughly "liking" or "loving". |
| 290 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: DJ Suki has noticeably not appeared in 3D animation since ''Trolls'', likely due to scheduling issues with her voice actress for 3D media. She does return for ''The Beat Goes On!'' and ''[=TrollsTopia=]'', though the latter ends with her moving away to Techno Reef as part of a cultural exchange program. |
| 291 | * TheDitz: She is not as smart as the rest of the trolls, but she is not stupid. |
| 292 | * FieryRedhead: She has orange hair, though she's more "fun" than "fiery". |
| 293 | * MellowFellow: She rarely loses her cool. |
| 294 | * NiceGirl: A friendly and laid-back troll. |
| 295 | * PutOnABus: After suffering notable absences due to Gwen Stefani being unavailable, Trollstopia ends with her being properly written out of the series by moving to Techno Reef. |
| 296 | * {{Sleepyhead}}: ''The Beat Goes On!'' gives her the trait of dozing off very easily. |
| 297 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's the tomboy to Poppy's girly girl. |
| 298 | * TomboyishVoice: More noticeable in the shows, where she has more spoken lines. |

| 304 | |
| 305 | A troll who is mostly hair. |
| 306 | ---- |
| 307 | * AllThereInTheManual: Since he doesn't speak in any of his media appearances, a lot of information about him is from the [=DreamWorks=] website and other material. |
| 308 | * DemotedToExtra: After ''Trolls Holiday'' he was never fully referred to as a member again, rarely appearing in ''WesternAnimation/TrollsTheBeatGoesOn'' and not a member of the group in ''Trolls World Tour'' or ''Trollstopia''. It becomes full-on ChuckCunninghamSyndrome in ''Trolls Band Together''. |
| 309 | * TheFaceless: His face is never shown under his hair, though in ''The Beat Goes On'' he is shown with a mouth. |
| 310 | * TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Despite being a member of the group, Fuzzbert is rarely seen with his friends or even interacting with them. |
| 311 | * IntelligibleUnintelligible: Official info says that he communicates using guttural noises, which the other trolls have no problem understanding. |
| 312 | * TheQuietOne: [[AllInTheManual Information from DreamWorks' website]] notes that he is "really hard to hear under all that hair". |
| 313 | * VocalDissonance: At least when it comes to singing. If one hears closely in the "I'm Comin' Out" song, Fuzzbert is heard with a deep voice when the other Trolls begin singing. |

| 321 | ---- |
| 322 | * AllTrollsAreDifferent: Notable that she stretches her legs like other trolls stretch their hair and has a chubbier physique than the others. |
| 323 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Not only does she not appear in the follow-up series ''Trollstopia'' (with DJ Suki making an unexpected return in her absence), but is completely absent from ''Trolls Band Together''. |
| 324 | * MeaningfulName: '''Leg'''sly. |
| 325 | * RememberTheNewGuy: World Tour is the first time she appears in the franchise, yet acts like she has been best friends with Poppy for years. |
| 326 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Appears to replace DJ Suki. As mentioned above, Suki replaces her in ''Trollstopia''. |
| 327 | * WithCatlikeTread: She normally wears an anklet with bells on it, which she still keeps on when sneaking into the Rock Troll concert. This almost gets her and the rest of the Snack Pack exposed immediately. |

| 333 | |
| 334 | Guy Diamond's newborn son, Tiny Diamond is a small, hip-hop Glitter Troll who was born in ''Trolls World Tour''. |
| 335 | ---- |
| 336 | * AscendedExtra: After only getting a few scenes in the beginning and end of World Tour, he gets a lot more screentime in Band Together, though mainly as the TagalongKid and PluckyComicRelief. |
| 337 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: ''Literally''. Tiny is a literal baby who is taken on adventures because he acts like an adult despite being the youngest in Poppy's group of friends. |
| 338 | * BrainyBaby: Born cognizant enough to make a quick rap number about himself. |
| 339 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He's the protagonist of the ''Tiny Diamond Goes Back To School'' short. |
| 340 | * InnocentSwearing: Tiny Diamond says a swear word when he is disgusted by one of Bruce's kids getting pink eye, but doesn't get scolded by the adults for saying it. |
| 341 | * ParentalSubstitute: During their time together, Tiny Diamond comes to consider Bruce another father. |
| 342 | * RaisedByTheCommunity: He lives with his dad but dialogue when he's born treats all of Pop Village like his extended family. He calls Poppy his aunt and Smidge talks like she's gonna have to be his big sister. |
| 343 | * SpotlightStealingSquad: In terms of both media and merchandise, Tiny is showing multiple signs of this. He has been getting many storylines focused on him, from ''Tiny Diamond Goes Back To School'' to ''[=TrollsTopia=]'' to ''Holiday in Harmony''. In terms of merchandise, he's on the same level of relevance as commonly featured characters like Poppy, Branch, Barb and Trollex, mostly taking Guy's place from his merchandise for the movies. And he has an even larger role in ''Band Together'', in which his father has a minor role in. |
| 344 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He's physically identical to his father, though he's small enough to fit in his hands. |

| 351 | [[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/john_dory.png]] |
| 352 | |
| 353 | The oldest of the five brothers and leader of [=BroZone=]. |
| 354 | ---- |
| 355 | * AttentionWhore: Even though he urges everyone else in [=BroZone=] to give a perfect performance, he himself goes off choreography to showboat and is the main reason their first attempt at a perfect family harmony failed. Even when reuniting with Branch in the present day, John Dory goes out of his way to interrupt Bridget and Gristle's wedding to introduce himself, during which Gristle points out that he could have simply waited until after the ceremony to do so. |
| 356 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Part of the reason that John Dory is fond of Poppy is that she acknowledges him from [=BroZone=]. |
| 357 | * BigBrotherBully: John Dory seems to act like a bully to his younger brothers by forcing them to maintain their boyband images and perfection. |
| 358 | * BigBrotherInstinct: |
| 359 | ** When he receives a distress letter from "Floyd", John Dory immediately goes to Mount Rageous to check if his younger brother is really in danger. When his attempts to free him from his Diamond prison are in vain, he jumps straight into action to find the rest of his brothers so they can sing the perfect family harmony that will save Floyd from Velvet and Veneer. |
| 360 | ** Upon reuniting with Branch after two decades, John Dory comments about how big his youngest brother has gotten and playfully teases him. |
| 361 | ** John Dory happily watches Bruce tease and mess with Branch. |
| 362 | ** He and Bruce attempt to cheer Branch up and make him smile after seeing his sour expression during a performances. They also attempted to calm Branch down when he gets upset with them. |
| 363 | ** He tries to protect Branch when they first meet Viva and her Clown Mouth, thinking it is real, as he tries to hold onto Branch’s hand when he goes to confront the Clown Mouth, and when Viva jumps out disguised as a ball, moving towards Branch’s direction with his fist up. |
| 364 | ** After being rescue by Viva, John Dory and Bruce spring into action in order to save Clay and Floyd from Velvet even though they were trap in diamond prisons. |
| 365 | * ButtMonkey: He gets snubbed by all his brothers after their reunion in favor of doting over Branch from lingering resentment of his overbearing attitude being the main cause of their estrangement. Also Tiny Diamond refers to him as "some random guy" after referring to Branch and Poppy by name. |
| 366 | * CannotSpitItOut: John Dory couldn't say how much he misses his brothers and his desire to be a family again to his younger siblings, as he not only fears that they won't feel the same way, but is scared they won't forgive him for his past actions. |
| 367 | * CharacterDevelopment: He starts off being insensitive to his brothers' feelings and is oblivious to how upset they are at him for his obsession with perfection, but does care about them. He also believes that his brothers are better off without him, thinking he can't fix the damage he caused. However, during his adventure with his brothers, he learns that it isn't too late to fix your mistakes and realizes that he is wrong about his brothers not needing him, especially when he finds out how lonely Branch was growing up. Also, John Dory learns to consider his brothers' feelings and realize they are perfect just the way they are. |
| 368 | ** He was a bit uptight and arrogant with a big ego, but his friendship with Poppy has him loosening up and becoming more humble to those around him. |
| 369 | * ControlFreak: He pressured his brothers to give their best efforts possible while also boxing them into their roles. This pressure, seemingly for his own glory eventually drove them all to go their separate ways. |
| 370 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: An inverted example, in that John Dory is the only one of the [=BroZone=] siblings who ''hasn't'' changed his hairstyle from their boyband days, serving as a visual cue that [[GloryDays he's still trying to live in the past]] and hasn't moved on with his life. |
| 371 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Although headstrong and sometimes a control freak, John Dory is disgusted by what Velvet and Veneer were doing to Floyd, as he described as worse than lip syncing. John Dory also respectfully lets Branch talk things over with Poppy before coming with him to save Floyd. |
| 372 | * FlatWhat: His response to being snubbed is usually a disheartened "''what?''" |
| 373 | * HalfTruth: John Dory tells Floyd half the truth about his stress during their show preparation for their concert. |
| 374 | * HiddenDepths: John Dory may be arrogant and controlling, but he can be respectful, as shown when he lets Branch talk things over with Poppy about coming with him to save Floyd. |
| 375 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Although his words hurt Branch's feelings, John Dory does make a valid point about not staying together because he knows that Bruce and Clay have lives to get back to and doesn't want to jeopardize what they worked so hard for. |
| 376 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: John Dory can sometimes act like a jerk and has made many mistakes, but does have a good heart, as he does care about his brothers and shows his nicer side around his friends Rhonda, Poppy and Tiny Diamond. |
| 377 | * TheLeader: Being the oldest of the brothers, he was the leader of his family's boy band. Subverted in the present where every time he tries to direct his brothers they ignore him for being too demanding. |
| 378 | * NeverMyFault: John Dory blames the first attempt at perfect family harmony on his brothers, which he wasn't entirely wrong about, as they were also to blame for what happens. Upon getting caught by Velvet and Veneer, John Dory blames his two younger brothers for getting themselves caught, even though he was the one who fell for their trick in the first place. |
| 379 | * NoSocialSkills: Similar to Branch in the first movie, his lack of picking up on social cues is very noticeable. When he reunited with his youngest brother, John Dory does not notice the clear discomfort that his presence causes Branch, nor does he seem to care that he's interrupting Gristle and Bridget's wedding. |
| 380 | * ThePerfectionist: In the introductory scene he pressures his brothers to make the first show of the [=BroZone=] tour perfect, insisting that if they are not perfect and cannot achieve perfect family harmony they are nothing. |
| 381 | * PoorCommunicationKills: John Dory could have had an easier time getting Branch and Bruce to hear him out quicker if he mentioned Floyd first. |
| 382 | * SoProudOfYou: |
| 383 | ** John Dory and Bruce smile with pride in Clay for prioritizing Floyd's safety first. They also briefly look at Clay with delight when he tells Velvet and Veneer that he has to repossess their yacht for tax evasion. |
| 384 | ** Hearing Branch's words of wisdom and opening their eyes to see that he has grown up, John Dory, Bruce and Clay look happily at their youngest brother. |
| 385 | ** John Dory express pride in Branch for writing a song for their band. |
| 386 | * TiredOfRunning: Realizing his mistake in ignoring his responsibility of being an older brother to his siblings, John Dory decides to stop running and improve his relationship with his remaining family. |
| 387 | * TookALevelInIdealism: John Dory starts off believing that his method to achieve the perfect family harmony is right. However, through Poppy's influence and listening to Branch's wise advice, he realizes they are other ways to achieve harmony and decides to follow their example. |
| 388 | * TooDumbToLive: An offscreen example. Despite already knowing that Velvet and Veneer are holding Floyd prisoner and want to capture the rest of his family, [[spoiler:John Dory apparently didn't see anything suspicious about a parking spot that was reserved for [=BroZone=], which Clay chastises him for after they've been captured]]. |
| 389 | * TheUnfavorite: A sibling variety, as the rest of the brothers - sans Floyd - all resent John Dory for how his controlling perfectionist tendencies drove them all apart. Branch outright refers to John Dory as his "former brother" when they reunite, and when tracking down the rest of the group, Spruce and Clay are much more excited to see Branch again and barely acknowledge John Dory. |
| 390 | * WillNotTellALie: Despite his flaws, John Dory is usually honest and doesn't lie to anyone, even to his own brothers. |
| 391 | * WhatHaveIBecome: After witnessing Velvet discard her own brother Veneer, John Dory realizes what he is becoming and decides to be a better older sibling for his family. |

| 402 | ** When he finally recognizes his brothers, he immediately rushes towards Branch, and affectionately tosses him in the air. He also teases Branch with a Wet Willy. |
| 403 | ** He is visibly nervous when he finds out that Floyd was captured and wants to quickly call the authorities, agreeing to accompany his brothers on the mission to sing the perfect family harmony when he realizes that it is the only way to save his brother, being in several moments showing his concern for Floyd's well-being. |
| 404 | ** He and John Dory attempt to cheer Branch up and make him smile after seeing his sour expression during a performances. They also attempted to calm Branch down when he gets upset with them. |
| 405 | ** Bruce smiles with delight when he sees Clay playing with Branch's face. |
| 406 | ** After being rescue by Viva, Bruce and John Dory spring into action in order to save Clay and Floyd from Velvet even though they were trap in diamond prisons. |
| 407 | ** Bruce provides Branch comfort when he thought Floyd was gone. |
| 408 | * BigWhat: Bruce says this after hearing about Floyd's capture. |
| 409 | * ChickMagnet: Fitting for someone known as the "heartthrob" of [=BroZone=], with many fangirls getting excited to see him. |
| 410 | * DoNotCallMePaul: He makes it clear to the others that he prefers to be called Bruce now instead of Spruce, having wanted to put all of his days of being in [=BroZone=] behind him. |
| 411 | * EvenTheGuysWantHim: A male troll fainted at the sight of his "rock hard abs" during their last concert. |
| 412 | * FamilyMan: In the span of time between the present day and [=BroZone's=] breakup, he ended up moving to a place called Vacay Island, where he met and fell in love with a local woman, got married to her, and had many children with her. |
| 413 | * FemaleGaze: [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F9GSnoRXcAAN22u?format=jpg&name=small One shot]] emphasizes his very big muscles when he and other members of [=BroZone=] preparing for the concert at the beginning of the movie. |
| 414 | * FormerlyFit: He used to have a well-developed physique in his youth, but is plumper in the present day. |
| 415 | * FriendToAllChildren: Due to being a father, Bruce gets along well with children, especially Tiny Diamond. |
| 416 | * HotSkittyOnWailordAction: He had multiple children with Brandi, a huge, puppet-like creature. |
| 417 | * HugeGirlTinyGuy: His wife, Brandi, is shown to be at least fifty times his own height and he and the other trolls can easily fit inside of the palm of her hand. Heck, even their own children are shown to be taller than the Trolls are! |
| 418 | * {{Hunk}}: He was the "heartthrob" member of [=BroZone=], because of his MrFanservice appeal. |
| 419 | * InterspeciesRomance: The locals of Vacay Island are clearly shown to be a very different species from Trolls in terms of both height and physiology, but Bruce and his wife were still able to not only make it work but managed to have an entire brood of children of their own. |
| 420 | * LadykillerInLove: Despite being seen as and playing the part of the group's official charming "heartthrob", Bruce had always had a secret longing of wanting to settle down with someone. Eventually, after the band's breakup, he moved to Vacay Island and eventually met his future wife, Brandi, with whom he is now currently HappilyMarried too with a whole brood of children. |
| 421 | * MeaningfulName: "Spruce" is a type of evergreen tree, but it also refers to making something neat and tidy. However, because of the first meaning, he, like his brothers, has a name connected to nature. |
| 422 | * MrFanservice: As a teenager, he had "rock hard abs" and was proud of his lusciously well-developed physique. He was considered attractive to the rest of the Pop Trolls and a {{Hunk}}. |
| 423 | * ParentalSubstitute: Bruce plays this role with Tiny Diamond during their time together. |
| 424 | * PleaseWakeUp: Bruce asks Floyd this when he sees that his brother is out of essences. |
| 425 | * RageBreakingPoint: Bruce has been holding back his anger towards John Dory until he gets upset with him for trying to get him and their brothers to be like their boy band images once more, which leads to them revealing the true reasons why they left the band and their younger brothers. |
| 426 | * SecretHandshake: Bruce and Clay seem to have a handshake when they reunite with each other after years of being apart. They also do a short version of their handshake when they witness Branch and Poppy share their first kiss. |
| 427 | * SoProudOfYou: |
| 428 | ** Bruce and Clay briefly smile with pride in Branch for coming up with a plan to save Floyd. |
| 429 | ** Bruce and John Dory smile with pride in Clay for prioritizing Floyd's safety first. They also briefly look at Clay with delight when he tells Velvet and Veneer that he has to repossess their yacht for tax evasion. |
| 430 | ** Hearing Branch's words of wisdom and opening their eyes to see that he has grown up, Bruce, Clay and John Dory look happily at their youngest brother. |
| 431 | * SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: John Dory's only lead on finding Spruce is a postcard that he sent to him some time ago. Despite having no name or address attached, John Dory insists that it must be from Spruce because the message on it, "wish you were here", is something he would say. Branch [[LampshadeHanging points out how ridiculously implausible this is]], only to them be InstantlyProvenWrong when the postcard actually ''does'' lead to Spruce. |

| 436 | [[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clay_869.png]] |
| 437 | |
| 438 | The middle brother and a former member of [=BroZone=]. |
| 439 | ---- |
| 440 | * BigBrotherInstinct: |
| 441 | ** When he meets Branch again after decades, he immediately takes to him during their reunion and touches his face affectionately. |
| 442 | ** Inverted. Clay happily accepts Spruce's new name "Bruce" and was upset with John Dory when he mispronounces it. |
| 443 | ** He unhesitatingly agrees to join the mission to save Floyd, betraying Viva and telling her that he doesn't want to lose his brother. In the climax after being saved from Velvet and Veneer, Clay cries out Floyd's name in alarm when he realizes that the latter is still in danger. |
| 444 | * BigLittleBrother: Clay seems to be taller than his two older brothers. |
| 445 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: He takes on this role and dynamic towards Viva, in a similar way that Branch took on this role for Poppy. In Clay's own words, Viva added the heart and soul to the Putt-Putt Trolls home, and he added the fire exits. |
| 446 | * CutenessOverload: When Clay sees Branch for the first time in 20 years, he finds him adorable, and can’t contain himself. He gives Branch a tight hug, and squishes his cheeks, while commenting about his endearing looks in a babyish voice. |
| 447 | * DeadpanSnarker: Clay gives one to John Dory when he tells him to stop being so bossy. |
| 448 | * FigureItOutYourself: Clay is quick to figure out that Floyd is being held in a diamond prison and Poppy is Viva's younger sister. |
| 449 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: ZigZagged. Clay had yellow hair during his younger years, though it turned into a lime green color as he got older, but has a heart of gold, as he cares for his brothers greatly despite disagreeing with his oldest sibling and his friends. Also, despite making a couple of selfish choices, Clay would always put others, especially his friends and family, before himself, do the right thing and own up to his mistakes, as he took responsibility for apologizing to Branch on behalf of himself and their brothers for leaving him and missing out on seeing him grow up. |
| 450 | * IntimidatingRevenueService: Makes up tax evasion as an excuse for one of Velvet and Veneer’s crimes near the end when Crimp arrests them both publicly. |
| 451 | * NotSoAboveItAll: He's tried his best to move on from his past days as a prankster by trying to overcompensate with as many serious things as he can think of: he wears a sweater-vest romper, he's a certified CPA, and he's a member of a local group of Trolls' "Sad Book Club". That said, he's still got the remnants of his "fun boy" days buried deep inside of him. Clay also can’t help but talk in a baby voice when reuniting with Branch, his baby brother as he sees him. |
| 452 | * NumberTwo: He’s stated to be one towards Viva when it comes to the Putt-Putt Trolls, mirroring Branch's own role towards Poppy. |
| 453 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Downplayed. Clay is the third born of his brothers, but he doesn't look much older than Branch despite being rather tall thanks to his slimmer build. |
| 454 | * PluckyComicRelief: Deconstructed. Though he was often billed as the "Fun One" of his and his brother's group and was a natural fun person, he actually resented those days quite a bit because he felt like his title and reputation meant that no one, not even his own brothers, were willing to take him seriously. |
| 455 | * SecretHandshake: Clay and Bruce seem to have a handshake when they reunite with each other after years of being apart. They also do a short version of their handshake when they witness Branch and Poppy share their first kiss. |
| 456 | * SoProudOfYou: |
| 457 | ** Clay and Bruce briefly smile with pride in Branch for coming up with a plan to save Floyd. |
| 458 | ** Hearing Branch's words of wisdom and opening their eyes to see that he has grown up, Clay, John Dory and Bruce look happily at their youngest brother. |
| 459 | * YouFool: Clay said this to John Dory during an argument. |

| 462 | [[folder:Floyd]] |
| 463 | -> '''Voiced by''': Music/TroyeSivan (third movie), Tyler Shamy (''Trolls Remix Rescue'') |
| 464 | [[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/floyd_8.png]] |
| 465 | |
| 466 | The second youngest brother and a member of [=BroZone=]. |
| 467 | ---- |
| 468 | * AmbiguouslyGay: While Floyd's sexuality is not confirmed outright, there are several hints. He wears an earring on his right ear, which is typically used by gay men to signify their sexuality, he is known as the "sensitive" member of the group, which is sometimes used as a euphemism for homosexuality, and his voice actor, Music/TroyeSivan, is openly gay in real life. |
| 469 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Played straight and inverted since he is the second youngest. Floyd is the one who is most concerned with Branch in the opening flashback and makes sure to reassure him both before and after the show. When he discovers that Velvet and Veneer have tricked [=BroZone=] into coming to save him, he demands they leave his brothers alone. And when John Dory and later Branch come to rescue him, each time he begs them to leave for their own safety. |
| 470 | * ChickMagnet: A trio of young ladies are shown swooning over Floyd during the [=BroZone=] concert. |
| 471 | * CoolBigBro: In the third movie's opening, Floyd was shown to be a caring and thoughtful big brother to Branch, going to reassure the former about his nervousness. And when they reunite as adults, Floyd is the ''only'' one of their older brothers to treat Branch like the man that he is. |
| 472 | * DistressedDude: When Floyd is captured by Velvet and Veneer due to his musical talents, his brothers will have to come together to save him before it is too late. |
| 473 | * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:He seemingly dies in the climax just when finally broken free, but revives in short order]]. |
| 474 | * EasilyForgiven: Floyd quickly forgives his three older brothers and Veneer for their selfish actions, as their efforts in correcting their mistakes are enough for him to realize that they're truly sorry for everything they have done. |
| 475 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Despite being held prisoner by Velvet and Veneer, Floyd can't help but be disgusted by what their parents do for a living, which is being dentists. Floyd is also disgusted with Velvet's treatment of Crimp and Veneer. |
| 476 | * FadingAway: The effects of his talent being stolen causes his body to turn translucent from the limbs up. [[spoiler:Subverted once it spreads to his entire body, as he's then rendered an opaque color]]. |
| 477 | * HairFlip: Mind if you expect [[https://twitter.com/de_mirem/status/1717381258911555946 this]]? |
| 478 | * TheHeart: His voice actor refers to him as the glue that holds all his brothers together. In the prologue he tries to help John with his stress about the band's first tour concert and approaches Branch to calm him down from his nervousness from his first live show. When his older brothers separate on bad terms after the failed concert, Floyd is the one who tries to prevent them from leaving, he worries about Grandma's well-being and bids a proper farewell to Branch. Currently the whole reason that the brother's are willing to go a mission to reform the band and put aside their differences is because he's the one in danger of having his talent stolen. Additionally, he even manages to appeal to Veneer's better nature by speaking to his abuse under Velvet. |
| 479 | * HeroicSacrifice: Floyd sacrificed himself to help his brothers achieve the perfect family harmony and free his older siblings from their prisons. |
| 480 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He was the only one in the boyband who was empathetic to Branch's feelings when he was a baby and was the only one who said goodbye to him before leaving. When he is in danger, Branch points out that the only one of his brothers who would be willing to help if he were in trouble is Floyd. |
| 481 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Floyd has no idea about what happened to his grandmother. He also has no idea about Branch's rough life and that he grew up alone with no family to take care of him. |
| 482 | * LovedByAll: Despite the past resentments that some of his brothers have towards each other, none of them have anything negative to say about Floyd to the point that the only thing they can agree on is saving him. |
| 483 | * LockedIntoStrangeness: The after effects of his imprisonment caused his hair to be bleached white from the roots up. [[spoiler:The color is shown to very slowly be returning as he recovers]]. |
| 484 | * NiceGuy: Being the shyest and most sensitive of his brothers, he is possibly the most kind and supportive of them all. Both outside and inside the universe he is recognized as TheHeart of his family. |
| 485 | * OlderThanTheyLook: A flashback shows that Floyd was already a young adult when Branch was only a baby, putting the former at least in his late thirties in the present day. Despite this, unlike the rest of his siblings he looks no older than the now adult Branch, and could even be mistaken as ''younger'' than him at face value. It doesn't help that his voice actor is the youngest in the cast. |
| 486 | * ShrinkingViolet: He is described as the most shy and sensitive of his brothers. |
| 487 | * SoProudOfYou: Floyd expresses how proud he is of Branch for becoming a man. He also smiles with pride upon seeing Branch working together with their older brothers. |
| 488 | * YouLeaveHimAlone: Upon finding out that Velvet sent a fake letter to John Dory to lure him and their brothers into a trap, Floyd warns her to leave his family alone. |
| 489 | --> '''Floyd:''' No. You leave my brothers alone. |

| 495 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peppy.png]] |
| 496 | |
| 497 | Poppy's father and the former King of the Pop Trolls. |
| 498 | ---- |
| 499 | * {{Acrofatic}}: King Peppy always had a round build since his daughter was a baby, but was able to pull off impressive stunts. However, when Chef kidnaps Poppy's friends, he admits he can't go after them because he's not as young as he used to be. |
| 500 | * BadassAndBaby: The prologue showed him carrying a baby Poppy while leading the other Trolls away from the Bergens. |
| 501 | * BigFun: Has a round build and is quite fun-loving and nice. |
| 502 | * DemotedToExtra: Although Peppy had plenty of major roles in ''Trolls: The Beat Goes On!'', he was reduced to a minor character in most ''Trolls: Trollstopia'' episodes he appeared in, and became a full on background character in later seasons of the series. |
| 503 | * TheGoodKing: King Peppy always takes the welfare of his people his number one priority. |
| 504 | * GoodParents: While their interactions are brief, it's shown that he is a loving and supportive father to Poppy. |
| 505 | * HandicappedBadass: His age has made him weaker than he used to be. |
| 506 | * ModestRoyalty: Like his daughter, he wears no regal attire, preferring normal clothes. |
| 507 | * NakedPeopleAreFunny: He ends up ditching all of his clothing during the escape from the Bergens at the beginning of the film, and during his triumphant [[NoManLeftBehind "No troll left behind!"]] upon their successful escape, the camera focuses on his [[VisualPun now-naked butt]]. |
| 508 | * PapaWolf: He cares about the Trolls like they were his children and will do anything to protect them. |
| 509 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: Downplayed; he was initially written to be borderline senile, not recognizing Poppy even when she's standing in front of him, but this was relegated to deleted scenes. Some moments slipped through into the final movie, like him trying to fend off Chef by scolding her, but mostly he's very lucid. This is played with in ''The Beat Goes On!'', where he's given more addled and forgetful moments. |

| 512 | [[folder:Creek '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)''']] |
| 513 | -->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RussellBrand (first movie), Matt Lowe (''The Beat Goes On!'' and ''Trollstopia'') |
| 514 | [[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/creek.png]] |
| 515 | |
| 516 | A calm, positive Troll who approaches everything with Zen-like wisdom. |
| 517 | ---- |
| 518 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: After receiving a "spiritual awakening" (actually, it was just his own fear) upon almost being eaten by King Gristle Jr. , Creek leads the Chef to all the other Trolls in the village so she can capture them all. Therefore, he almost ''causes his entire village to die'' [[ItsAllAboutMe just to save himself from being eaten]]. |
| 519 | * BrutalHonesty: He outright tells Poppy to her face "I'm selling you out." |
| 520 | * CharacterCatchphrase: |
| 521 | ** "Boop!" |
| 522 | ** Not said too often, but Creek also uses "Namaste", which in real life is a respectful form of greeting according to Hindu custom. |
| 523 | * DirtyCoward: Sells out his people to save himself. |
| 524 | * TheDragon: When captured by Chef, his FaceHeelTurn consists of him offering to lead her to the Trolls' village after they hid inside Branch's bunker. |
| 525 | * EasilyForgiven: Poppy and the Snack Pack seems to have let bygones be bygones when he returns in ''The Beat Goes On!''. Only Branch isn't willing to let him off the hook for his actions in the first movie. |
| 526 | * EvilBrit: He speaks with a British accent, and turns out to be evil when he [[DirtyCoward betrays his people]] just [[ItsAllAboutMe to save his own skin]]. |
| 527 | * FaceHeelTurn: What he does as a central character compared to as an antagonist can be additionally interpreted as this. Since Poppy was reliant on Creek's supposed wisdom, she assumed that the resident altruist was lost from the group forever, and that if he returned, he'd be able to rescue the rest of the clan. When the moment for this return finally ''does'' come, Branch immediately deduces that he's going to sell out the rest to the Bergens, and by that word attempts to strangle him to death, to which his deduction really turns out to be right. |
| 528 | * {{Foil}}: To Branch, as while Branch has a sour attitude and is bluntly honest, Creek tries to reassure Poppy that she can have her parties without Branch. While Creek is more positive, he's also dishonest, as he deceives all the other Trolls into being captured to [[ItsAllAboutMe save his own life]]. |
| 529 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: While the other Trolls are only exasperated by Branch's overly cautious and cynical ways, Creek is the only one who openly mocks him for it, infiltrating his personal space while doing so. This is an early sign that he isn't as nice as he seems. |
| 530 | -->'''Creek''': Okay, first of all, mate: thanks for sharing your neat perspective on things—''again.'' Just for now, why don't ya try on some positivity, eh? A little positivity, might go with that vest! |
| 531 | * HateSink: Despite his initial appearance as a wise and serene individual and romantic interest to Poppy, Creek eventually reveals his true colors as a [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centered]] and [[DirtyCoward cowardly]] traitor. To avoid being eaten by the Bergens, Creek remorselessly sells out the rest of the trolls to be devoured in his place, willing to let all of his friends and brethren die solely to save his own skin. Also, he has the gall to tell the captured Poppy that he's doing it for her, as she will at least die with a clear conscience. |
| 532 | * {{Hypocrite}}: When the movie first starts, we see him as a peaceful Zen master-type mentor, only for him to turn cowardly and defect to Chef after being captured so he can lead her to the Trolls' village. |
| 533 | * ItsAllAboutMe: He sells out all the trolls just so he can survive. |
| 534 | * {{Irony}}: He sells out his own people to keep from being eaten himself. In the end, he ends up being eaten anyway, only by a much bigger monster with Chef. |
| 535 | * KarmicDeath: Creek sells out all the other Trolls to save himself from being eaten by a Bergen; in TheStinger, he and Chef are both eaten by a giant monster. Subverted in the canon of ''The Beat Goes On!'' and ''[=TrollsTopia=]'', where he survives getting eaten, but Chef isn't so lucky. |
| 536 | * LotusPosition: Creek sometimes assumes this pose when he's a particularly Zen state of mind. However, he also does it right after getting all the other Trolls captured, which signifies that he's still calm as long as he himself survives. |
| 537 | * NewAgeRetroHippie: He's clearly meant to evoke the 60's UsefulNotes/{{Yoga}} subculture stereotype; he wears long, ample pants and expresses himself in an exaggeratedly spiritual way. |
| 538 | * PowerFloats: He floats off the ground whenever he does his lotus position pose. In each case, it's revealed that something is actually lifting him by his hair. |
| 539 | * RomanticFalseLead: Implied, but not explicitly shown or stated. Poppy's picture of Creek in her scrapbook has hearts surrounding it, and she playfully "boops" it. He eventually sells her out and everyone else just [[ItsAllAboutMe to save his own skin]]. |
| 540 | * SitcomArchNemesis: When he comes back in ''The Beat Goes On!'', he settles into this kind of relationship with Branch, who is about the only troll still holding a grudge against him for selling them all out. |
| 541 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: ''The Beat Goes On'' and ''Trollstopia'' series have Creek somehow surviving and being EasilyForgiven for his previous betrayal, and he is once again shown living back in Pop Village. This is not the case in the official canon of the films, where he fully commits to his FaceHeelTurn and is all but stated to have been KilledOffForReal. |
| 542 | * UnexplainedRecovery: Despite being EatenAlive with Chef at the end of the movie, Creek somehow manages to survive in the canon of ''The Beat Goes On!'' and ''[=TrollsTopia=]''. |
| 543 | * WalkingSpoiler: Good luck bringing up ''anything'' about him without pulling out his FaceHeelTurn. |

She also got her own chapter book, and has the most merchandise of all the minor characters in the first movie.

| 573 | * CreepyChild: Perhaps his role in the series. |
| 574 | * SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome: Based on the fact his model is Poppy's baby model recolored, Keith was the youngest of all the children showed in the present-day Trolls plot. In the series (which takes place not too long after the movie), he's significantly larger and presumably older. |

| 581 | |
| 582 | Poppy's long-lost older sister and ruler of the Putt-Putt Trolls. |
| 583 | ---- |
| 584 | * AdvertisedExtra: You wouldn't be wrong to assume that her debut movie was more about the Poppy/Viva sisterhood rather than [=BroZone's=] reunion if you went only by the advertisement and the toys. She only really occupies the back half of ''Band Together'' and once her arc is complete, it switches back to Branch and his brothers. |
| 585 | * ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: She gives Poppy a dose of what it's like for other Trolls when she showers them with her relentless friendliness and peppy optimism. Poppy even lampshades this: |
| 586 | -->'''Poppy:''' Is this what it feels like when other trolls meet me? |
| 587 | -->'''Branch:''' [[BluntYes Yes]]. |
| 588 | * BigSisterInstinct: Upon discovering that Poppy is her little sister, Viva does everything in her power to protect her, even if it means trapping her and their friends.

| 592 | * EarlyBirdCameo: She appeared in ''VideoGame/DreamWorksAllStarKartRacing'' as one of the trolls that has a chance of appearing on a racer's kart if they collect enough musical notes. As it released on November 3rd, 2023, roughly two weeks before the American release of ''Band Together'', the game marks Viva's first official appearance. |

| 594 | * FantasticRacism: She and the rest of the Putt-Putt Trolls are understandably fearful and distrustful of the Bergens, to the point that Viva refusing to consider the idea that they've changed proves that she and Poppy aren't as completely similar as they had thought and triggers a big fight between the two. [[spoiler:She gets better after meeting Gristle and Bridget and, after seeing how genuinely loving the two are towards each other, realizes that the Bergens truly have changed their ways and goes with them to Mount Rageous to help her sister and make amends.]] |
| 595 | * GenkiGirl: Like her sister, she is very hyperactive. |
| 596 | * GreenEyedMonster: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. When Poppy is explaining how the Pop Trolls befriended the Bergens, Viva looks visibly hurt after Poppy explicitly says that she loves Bridget like a sister, and they do all kinds of fun things together that Viva missed out on due to her and Poppy being separated as children. [[spoiler:While Viva is still mainly acting on her FantasticRacism against the Bergens when she refuses to let her sister leave the theme park, her doubling down on it is implied to be partly due to jealousy of Poppy and Bridget's bond, [[SecretlySelfish and wanting Poppy all to herself]].]] |
| 597 | * ModestRoyalty: Like her sister, she wears comfortable clothes like the rest of her people. |
| 598 | * MustMakeAmends: Part of Viva's reasons for joining Poppy and Clay's mission to rescue Floyd was to make things right with them after realizing her mistakes. |
| 599 | * NiceGirl: Like her sister, she is very welcoming and friendly towards her "guests" when they arrive at her home. |
| 600 | * StepfordSmiler: Under her GenkiGirl exterior, she is actually very scared and worried for her subjects and her sister due to being separated from her family during the Bergen Town Escape and having to fight off Bergens to survive. |
| 601 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Briefly fills the role of one as Poppy's usual "one betrayal to destroy her naive beliefs per movie" notches, similar to Creek and Hickory. Though she genuinely loves her sister and her people, she's also become so traumatized by the attacked by the Bergens that she's basically turned their new golf course home into a GildedCage and refuses to let anyone leave once they've entered, with her attempts to do so with Poppy and the others despite knowing that Floyd, Clay's younger brother, is in danger resulting in a brief fight and rift between the two sisters that destroys Poppy's argument against Branch refusing to open up to his brothers that families aren't as complicated as he's making them out to be.]] |

| 605 | -> Voiced by: Music/{{NSYNC}} |
| 606 | [[quoteright:974:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f_bckw6xiaa9ux1.png]] |
| 607 | [[caption-width-right:974:''"What? You didn't think [=BroZone=] was the only band I've ever been in did you? Please!"''[[note]]From left to right: Ablaze, Hype, Branch, Trickee & Boom.[[/note]]]] |
| 608 | |
| 609 | A band of five Pop trolls that Branch was a part of in his earlier life. |
| 610 | ---- |
| 611 | * AllThereInTheManual: Though they go unnamed in the film itself, promotional material names the other four members: Trickee, Hype, Boom and Ablaze. |
| 612 | * AmbiguousSituation: It's still not established exactly ''when'' Kismet was formed or exactly how old Branch was when he joined. Whether it was a kid before he lost his colors or sometime between the events of the first three movies. |
| 613 | * {{Expy}}: To Music/{{NSYNC}}. With the entire band voicing them. In fact, Kismet was NSYNC's original name. |
| 614 | * IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: The third film ends with Branch (voiced by Music/JustinTimberlake) reuniting his second boy band for the DancePartyEnding and introducing them to his brothers and Poppy. The other members of this band are all voiced by Timberlake's real-life bandmates from [=*NSYNC=]. |
| 615 | * SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Branch invites them to perform with him and his brothers at Vacay Island by sending them a postcard. The message on it, "wish you were here", is apparently the only giveaway they needed to realize that it was from him. |
| 616 | --> '''Hype:''' Branch is the only one I know who talks like that. |
