Viola Cadaverini

Viola "Violetta" Cadaverini is the beloved granddaughter of the infamous mob boss Bruto Cadaverini. She was assistant to the loan shark and owner of Tender Lender, Furio Tigre, but took over the business after his arrest.

In the summer of 2018, Viola Cadaverini was involved in an accident in which her car collided with Furio Tigre on his scooter. She suffered life-threatening head trauma and was hospitalized. The operation required to save her life cost $1 million, and her grandfather Bruto demanded that Tigre pay him the cost of the bill. After Viola's surgery, Tigre took care of her; Viola, not knowing that Tigre was the man involved in her accident, or perhaps not wanting to acknowledge that Tigre might have helped her only out of fear of her grandfather, became affectionate, deeply loyal, and respectful toward Tigre. She began to work for him at Tender Lender soon afterward.

On Dec. 3, 2018, Tigre asked Viola to help him to set up a fake murder to cover up a real murder he had committed at Trés Bien. Viola posed as the waitress at the restaurant, Maggey Byrde, while Tigre disguised himself as the victim. The owner was forced to play along because of the debt he had to Tigre. An unwitting Victor Kudo soon entered the restaurant, and Tigre and Viola re-enacted the crime as Tigre wanted it to be seen; Viola sprinkled powder into the coffee she served to Tigre, and Tigre pretended he had won a lottery (as the victim had won the lottery prior to the real murder) and took a sip of the coffee. Tigre pretended to feel the effects of potassium cyanide poisoning and die. Kudo would later testify to the fake crime as a witness during Byrde's trial.

However, Phoenix Wright, Byrde's attorney, discovered the truth behind the incidents during his investigations. He broke Viola's Psyche-Locks, having worked out Tigre's motivations and that he was the real killer. Viola admitted that she had suspected all along Tigre had cared for her not out of love, but fear of her mafia boss grandfather, and gave Wright her medical records of the accident to use against Tigre in court.

Tigre's role as the one who had injured Viola was exposed, and after the trial, she implied that she had sent poisoned, or at least in some way tainted, tea to him in prison.

Viola took over the running of Tender Lender after Tigre's arrest. One of her debtors was Lance Amano, whom she would send payment bills to in the form of "love letters" with her characteristic threatening undertones.

The Cadaverini family is a criminal family known for its ties with the underworld, Viola has not shown to engage in its affairs however they can be protective over her, with the boss her grandfather caring greatly for her.

Viola Cadaverini is very soft-spoken and polite, with her style of speech having numerous pauses. However, she strikes fear into those around her by slipping quiet death threats into everyday conversation, normally while performing one of her distinctive sinister giggles ("Hee... Hee... Hee..."). This made her very effective at asking for repayment of loans when Tigre was unable to do so. Before Tigre's court appearance, Viola was very loyal to him, calling him "Don Tigre" as a sign of respect and quietly demanding that others do the same. Although she ultimately realized that Tigre was being kind to her only because of her grandfather, her affection for Tigre caused her to delude herself into believing that Tigre truly cared about her. Despite coming across as rather sinister, Viola truly was disgusted by what Tigre did to acquire Elg's money and regretted being an accomplice. Viola is a gentle woman, with some elegant movements, outside of her creepy side she is quite sensitive and fragile, having a frail body, she admits she thought Tigre might not love her but rather believe he does so or lie to herself, and crying upon learning the truth. She has a fondness for cooking, usually offering people things to eat in a sinister tone, while these food are harmless she confesses if someone were to get on her bad side the food would be dangerous. Viola also showed a vengeful side over Tigre after everything, which now she despises. It does not take a lot of affection or kindness for Viola to get a creepy liking or even obsession over someone.

Viola has the appearance of a young adult lass, being skinny and fragile with a very pale skin, Viola has brown eyes, long dark brown hair, and white bandages wrapped around her head. She wears a long dark brown dress with a white neckline and a red ribbon.
