->Voiced by: Creator/YukariTamura [Drama CD], Creator/TomoeHanba [Anime] (Japanese), Creator/ChiaraZanni (English)

A young girl who helps Cou and quickly becomes acquainted with the other members of the group. Viro is later revealed to be a spy for the opposing group who has their eyes on Ren, but she's able to travel with the party with little suspicion because of her clumsy and air-headed qualities.

* AdaptationDyeJob: The cloth of the lower part of her dress is white with green in the manga while the anime made it dark blue.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the manga, Viro betrays the group and attempts to kill Rowen despite him trying to reach out to her. She's defeated by Rowen and her boss disposes of her for her failure.

* AdaptationalLateAppearance: In the manga, she appears in the arc of the Tigres sisters, but she's introduced much later in the anime.
* AdaptationalNiceGirl: In the manga, Viro is a BitchInSheepsClothing who is cold and ruthless, not having any remorse in betraying the main group.

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the manga, Viro can only transform a single armored arm because she's an artificial Edel Raid. In the anime, however, her body can transform into a weapon when she reacts with Cou.
* ArtificialHuman: She's an artificially created Edel Raid.
* BecomingTheMask:
** {{Subverted|Trope}} in the manga. She was touched by the group's kindness towards her and did enjoy traveling with them, but she still betrays them because she doesn't want her boss to dispose of her like garbage.
** Played straight in the anime. When the time comes for her to betray the group, she can't go through with assassinating Cou and spares him despite knowing very well she will get killed for it.
* BespectacledCutie: Subverted. She seems to be a friendly and bubbly girl, but it's just an act to gain the trust of Cou's group. She doesn't even actually need glasses and only wears them to appear more harmless.
* BetaTestBaddie: She's part of a series of imperfect artificial Edel Raids that can only transform a part of their body, which is the source of one big inferiority complex for her. She thinks of herself as useless garbage just because she isn't a real Edel Raid and is terrified of being disposed as a failure by her boss.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She puts up the act of a friendly and slightly ditzy BespectacledCutie to earn the main group's trust. She's in fact a ruthless assassin and her true personality is very sour and hateful.
* BrokenBird: Whenever she drops the cheerful girl act, her expressions are very sad and she gives melancholic speeches about "defective" stuff like herself being meant to be thrown away like garbage.

* EvilCostumeSwitch: When she drops her cover, she discards her modest white dress for a dark-colored, skimpy one.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Viro hates Edel Raids because she's an inferior imitation of them and she's desperate to accomplish her missions without fail because her boss will dispose of her if she fails him. Because of this, she betrays the group, poisons Ren and nearly kills Rowen while he's honestly trying to reach out to her. While her situation is harsh, Kuea points out Viro in the end is nothing more than a selfish, envious girl playing the role of a tragic heroine out of self-pity.
* GirlishPigtails: She ties her hair into twin braids when she's undercover so she keep up her harmless cute girl facade.

* TheLostLenore: In the manga, Rowen developed a crush on her and tried his best to save her, but ultimately could do nothing but watch Viro being disposed of. Rowen's failure to save Viro becomes his main motivation for the rest of the series.
* LoveRedeems:
** Subverted in the manga. Rowen feels a bit attracted to her and tries to get her to turn around through compassion. Unfortunately, he realizes nothing he does will get through Viro and he has no choice but to fight her.
** Played straight in the anime. She's touched by Cou's kindness and falls in love with him, which is what ultimately keeps her from killing him.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: In sharp contrast to the manga, Viro is portrayed this way in the anime. She was manipulated by Chaos Choir and given the fake promise that she would be turned into a true Edel Raid if she infiltrated Cou's group. Even then, she doesn't actually do anything evil to anyone, and reacts with Cou to protect him and Ren multiple times. Sadly, Chaos Choir decide to dispose of her once they realize she isn't going to betray Cou.

* ScaryShinyGlasses: Her glasses turn opaque during the moments she breaks out of her facade and her true self as an assassin emerges.
* SixthRangerTraitor: She joins Cou's team as a cover agent with the intention of betraying them.
* SupremeChef: In the anime, she turns out to be a very good cook and the main group enjoys her meals a lot.
* TattooedCrook: She has an evil-looking tattoo in her abdomen.

* LoveRedeems:
** Subverted in the manga. Rowen feels a bit attracted to her and tries to get her to turn around through compassion. Unfortunately, he realizes nothing he does will get through Viro and he has no choice but to fight her.

** {{Subverted|Trope}} in the manga. She was touched by the group's kindness towards her and did enjoy traveling with them, but she still betrays them because she doesn't want her boss to dispose of her like garbage.
** Played straight in the anime. When the time comes for her to betray the group, she can't go through with assassinating Cou and spares him despite knowing very well she will get killed for it.
* BespectacledCutie: Subverted. She seems to be a friendly and bubbly girl, but it's just an act to gain the trust of Cou's group. She doesn't even actually need glasses and only wears them to appear more harmless.
* BetaTestBaddie: She's part of a series of imperfect artificial Edel Raids that can only transform a part of their body, which is the source of one big inferiority complex for her. She thinks of herself as useless garbage just because she isn't a real Edel Raid and is terrified of being disposed as a failure by her boss.

* EvilCostumeSwitch: When she drops her cover, she discards her modest white dress for a dark-colored, skimpy one.

Because of this, she betrays the group, poisons Ren and nearly kills Rowen while he's honestly trying to reach out to her. While her situation is harsh, Kuea points out Viro in the end is nothing more than a selfish, envious girl playing the role of a tragic heroine out of self-pity.

* LoveRedeems:
** Subverted in the manga. Rowen feels a bit attracted to her and tries to get her to turn around through compassion. Unfortunately, he realizes nothing he does will get through Viro and he has no choice but to fight her.
** Played straight in the anime. She's touched by Cou's kindness and falls in love with him, which is what ultimately keeps her from killing him.
