Description Edit

"They're the number two in the Syndicate [...] If they weren't around, everything would descend into chaos."

— Steve Jaros, lead writer of Saints Row: The Third describing Viola and her sister Kiki

Viola is the twin sister of Kiki DeWynter, they are the lieutenants of the Morningstar gang led by Phillipe Loren.^[1] Viola is well endowed and is very pretty, having a buxom figure, wearing tight, black, form fitting clothing to accentuate her curves, much like her twin sister.

She can be identified by the color of her sunglasses; Viola wears white sunglasses, purple when she joins the Saints^[3][4], whilst Kiki wears pink. However after the death of Kiki, Viola begins to wear her sister's pink shades, along with purple nail polish to signify her respect for her sister and her association with the Saints respectively.

Biography Edit

Viola and her sister run finances for the Syndicate^[reference?], having increased the Syndicate profits tenfold in Steelport^[reference?]. Also, it has been stated in several sources such as Xbox Magazine^[link?] and a brief interview with Sasha Grey^[source?], that the twins are Philippe's heiresses to the leadership of the Syndicate and Morningstar.^[reference?]

According to Viola's voice actress Sasha Grey, the DeWynters are also Philippe's Personal Assistants, managing his personal life and day-to-day business affairs.^[reference?]

Saints Row: The Third Edit

It is known^[how?] that Viola and her sister are sent by Phillipe Loren to bail The Protagonist, Shaundi and Johnny Gat out of jail and bring them to him.^[reference?]

The DeWynter sisters also became acquainted with Zimos, the oldest pimp in Steelport. The relationship goes south, and Zimos finds himself locked away in the basement of one of the Syndicate's human trafficking hubs.^[5] When you complete all City Takeover activities in the New Colvin district of the city, and completing various activities with Zimos, Zimos reveals that the reason for the DeWynter's hostility is that Zimos slept with one of the sisters, without being able to remember which one he slept with.

During the Gang Bang mission Viola joins the 3rd Street Saints^[6]. The reason being that Killbane killed her sister after the assassination attempt orchestrated by them in Trojan Whores failed^[7], Killbane then lost his temper when Kiki called him Eddie, causing him to snap her neck. ^[8][9]

Viola meets with the player when STAG first invade the city and helps the player escape with an elevator, during Gang Bang. The Ho Boat mission before Gang Bang she calls the player about The Syndicate cargo carrying a bunch of hos.

After she joins the crew the next mission Viola and the player will disguise as actors to kidnap Josh Birk. She is dressed up as the Bloody Canoness while the player dresses as the Cardinal, which she does not like one bit. She also helps in the mission STAG Party defending an attack from STAG who want to have Josh Birk returned to them.

When The Protagonist goes to rescue Shaundi from STAG in My Name is Cyrus Temple, Viola and Pierce acts as prisoners so The Protagonist can find Shaundi and escape. All four of the Saints escape the Thermopylae and destroy's the aircraft carrier in the process.

After the Zombie outbreak on Arapice Island, she calls The Protagonist during Zombie Attack about how the Mayor wants the Saints to deal with the Zombies. The pair of them head over to Arapice Island to deal with the outbreak, and disposes of the containers that contained the virus.

Viola also reveals during A Remote Chance the best way of ruining Killbane, is by removing his mask so that only Eddie Pryor remains.

EndingsEdit

Afterwards the Saints throw a party to remember Shaundi, though leaving out Viola and Burt Reynolds. Though when, planting bombs on the Daedalus, The Protagonist's Female Voice 3 will say "One for Shaundi, one for Viola, one for my crew and one just for me".

Save Shaundi and Viola

If the player chooses to save the two Saints and Mayor Reynolds, they must fight through an ongoing war between S.T.A.G and the Luchadores. After this the player must disarm the bombs while traveling up the statue. After the player reached the top, they must fight Kia, who is holding Shaundi as a human shield, while Viola and Mayor Reynolds are tied up.

Viola: "It was business, Angel. You lost."
Angel: "I was cheated!"
Viola: "Just because something's not fair doesn't mean it didn't happen. If you couldn't live with the consequences, you shouldn't have agreed to the match."

Trivia Edit

• During the cutscene of Gang Bang she is wearing white glasses but as soon as the gameplay begins she is wearing purple glasses.
• During a cutscene in the mission My Name is Cyrus Temple on the Thermopylae Viola can briefly be seen wearing white glasses again. During gameplay she is wearing purple glasses.
• While she and her sister were identified as expert assassins in previous press releases, it was confirmed by Volition, Inc. that this was a misunderstanding and that they aren't expert assassins but instead only hire expert assassins, like all the assassin hos they hired for the mission Trojan Whores.^[10]
• Originally, Viola and her sister Kiki were Japanese twins called Natsuko and Yukako, nicknamed Suki and Yuki for short. They led their own all-female gang - "Oiran" - to contrast with the original Morningstar concept of an all-male gang. The two gangs were merged to streamline the story, and the DeWynters were made Caucasian to avoid the stereotype of "badass Asian chicks that are subservient to an older man".^[11]
  • Steve Jaros, lead writer for Saints Row: The Third, explained he "named Viola and Kiki DeWynter after RPG characters" that he and his friend played.^[11]
  • The game data files internally reference Viola as "Suko", proving it was changed after the early concept stages.
  • Safeword was originally an Oiran Stronghold, while Powder was the Morningstar Stronghold.
• Viola has a master's in economics.^[12]
• She and Kiki also appear to be extremely exceptional artists, based on Zimos's original Dewynter painting, based on Andy Warhol's 'pop art'.
• Though identical, Viola seems to be the nicer and more self-controlled of the two, as she says "yes sir" and commonly doesn't fuss at all to her bosses.
• Female Voice 3 accuses Viola of having implants.
• Like Tera Patrick and Nyte Blayde, Viola drives a Temptress.
• Viola and Kiki share many similarities with Vice King lieutenant, Tanya Winters, including a similar surname, hairstyle, and talents in running prostitution given that they both run well-funded and luxurious brothels. Given the need for a hasty name-change from Suki and Yuki, they may have been named in memory of Tanya by the writers.
• Despite many articles showing her and Kiki with short black hair and black leather pants, in game and later trailers they both wear their hair in very high-ponytail and black skirts with black stockings.
• Viola is the only character to be an initial antagonist to later join the Saints, though Benjamin King assisted the Saints before disappearing.
• "Viola" is Italian for the color purple, the 3rd Street Saints color.
• Viola has a few similarities with fellow Saint Tera Patrick. Both of them are voiced by former porn stars, both drive a Temptress and both worked for the opposing factions.
• After joining the Saints, Viola still wears her Morningstar chain on her hip.
• The F-69 VTOL computer voice which says 'Flight mode engaged' and 'hover mode engaged' sounds similar to Viola's voice, and may have also been voiced by Sasha Grey.
• The fact that Viola runs a prostitution ring might be a reference to the fact that her voice actor, Sasha Grey, is a former porn star.
• Viola and Kiki may be a reference to Amber and Crystal Bailey, another pair of twins from Dead Rising 2 and in the fact that they were the main bosses right hand.
• According to the official Prima guide, originally both Kiki and Viola were to join the Saints.^[scan?]
• During Three Way, it is possible to go to the top floor before getting rid of the bombs, the only person at the top will be Viola, who is standing upright, not tied up.
• Although Viola cannot be called up as a Homie when Three Way becomes available, completing both endings will allow her, Shaundi and Burt Reynolds to be recruited again.
• Neither Viola nor Burt appear in the end cutscene of Three Way after they have been saved.
• Promotional images of Viola often shows her to wield an AK-74M Assault Rfile.
• Like Angel, Viola might complain that you're not doing anything useful if you're not doing any major combat on the ground when you recruit her as a Homie.
