Top 10 Trolls Characters Ranked by Glitter and Groove

Top 10 Trolls Characters Ranked by Glitter and Groove

There’s no party quite like a Trolls party.  Between the color explosions, candy-colored hair, and dance numbers that come with their own confetti, Trolls is a franchise where music, personality, and glitter aren’t just themes—they’re lifestyles.  And among all that happiness and harmony are characters that bring the most when it comes to glitter and groove.  We’re talking about the ones who light up the screen with every twirl, turn a power ballad into a fashion statement, and leave trails of sparkle wherever they step. 

Whether they’re the embodiment of bubblegum pop or the edgy heart of rock ‘n’ roll, these Trolls don’t just move to the beat—they are the beat.  So, grab your shades, shake out that hair, and get ready to rank the most fabulously funky residents of the Troll Kingdom.  Here are the Top 10 Trolls Characters Ranked by Glitter and Groove. 

#10: Guy Diamond

Guy Diamond is the literal definition of glitter and groove—his body sparkles like a disco ball, and he walks around like every day is a Saturday night fever dream.  Covered head-to-toe in silver sparkles and lacking anything resembling pants, Guy is the ultimate party, Troll.  He doesn’t just dance—he radiates dance energy.  Whether he’s busting moves during a village celebration or launching into impromptu vocal riffs that shake the trees, this guy is always serving drama, diva, and dazzle.

Voiced by the high-octane Kunal Nayyar, Guy Diamond is unapologetically fabulous.  He sparkles with confidence—sometimes literally shooting glitter from his pores—and owns every second of his screen time with full-on commitment to joy.  And let’s not forget the moment he gives birth to Tiny Diamond while singing a high note in slow motion.  That sequence alone is one of the funniest, most out-there, and unexpectedly iconic moments in Trolls history.

Despite being a bit self-absorbed, Guy is a loyal friend and one of the most enthusiastic members of the group.  He’s the Troll equivalent of a hype man, ready to break into song at a moment’s notice and toss glitter like its confetti.  In a world of joyful beings, he still manages to stand out as the one who extra glitters.  Whether he’s harmonizing in a group number or turning up the volume solo, Guy Diamond never dims his sparkle—and we love him for it.

#9: DJ Suki

When the beat drops in Troll Village, DJ Suki is the one behind the turntables.  Armed with headphones made of insects (yes, really) and a vibe that screams laid-back confidence, DJ Suki spins track like it’s second nature.  She’s all about flow, harmony, and keeping the rhythm smooth.  Her bright orange skin and wild pink hair may make her look electric, but it’s her sense of timing and impeccable taste in beats that gives her true groove status. 

Voiced by Gwen Stefani in the first film, DJ Suki has a voice that’s as cool as her mixes.  She doesn’t talk much, but when she does, it’s always something chill, wise, or witty.  She’s the Troll you want at your party—not in the spotlight but always making sure the dance floor stays hot.  Whether she’s remixing classic Troll anthems or dropping a beat to soothe tension, her musical instincts are on point.

What’s so endearing about DJ Suki is how calm she is compared to the other characters.  In a world where excitement often comes in neon, DJ Suki is the chill glowstick in the corner, creating rhythm so everyone else can shine.  She’s got groove in her bones and knows exactly how to harness it.  And that makes her one of the most important—and quietly coolest—members of the Trolls crew. 

#8: Satin & Chenille

Double the style, double the sparkle.  Satin and Chenille are the fashion-forward twins who quite literally walk the runway together—because they’re joined by their hair.  These conjoined hair fashionistas are the queens of flair, with one specializing in edgy streetwear and the other in dreamy elegance.  They complement each other like glitter and glue, bringing style and sass in equal parts.

Voiced by Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt of Icona Pop, Satin and Chenille serve every line with a pop-star punch.  They walk like models, judge like critics, and dance like they’re always auditioning for Trolls: The Musical.  And don’t let their couture style fool you—they can move.  Whether they’re twirling together in unison or turning a group number into a fashion editorial, their synchronized steps and expressive hair choreography are mesmerizing.

Their true strength is in teamwork.  It’s not just that they look fabulous—it’s that they perform as one.  Every pose, spin, and flick of hair is perfectly timed.  They’re like the fashion industry’s answer to a girl group, and every appearance feels like a Vogue spread come to life.  They may not get as much solo attention as Poppy or Branch, but when it comes to groove and glam?  The twins are serving it in style.  

#7: Prince D

Prince D is funk royalty—and he knows it.  With a name that practically screams smooth vibes, Prince D hails from the land of Funk, where the bass is heavy, the colors are bold, and the dance moves are straight out of a Soul Train fantasy.  Voiced by none other than Anderson. Paak, Prince D doesn’t just speak rhythm—he is rhythm.  Everything about him oozes confidence, from his perfectly timed slides to his rich, buttery voice that melts into the music like gold vinyl.

What makes Prince D stand out in the Trolls universe is how effortlessly cool he is.  He’s got that laid-back charm, never needing to shout for attention because he commands it the moment he steps into a room—or onto a dance floor.  While other Trolls might bounce off the walls with energy, Prince D brings a grounded groove.  He’s the kind of guy who can sway in one spot and still outshine a crowd doing cartwheels.

His presence in Trolls World Tour elevates every scene he’s in.  Whether he’s backing up Queen Essence with buttery harmonies or sliding into a groove like it’s a second skin, Prince D represents an entire musical genre with such love and authenticity, it’s impossible not to vibe with him.  And when he breaks out the bassline to save the day?  Chef’s kiss.  He proves that you don’t need glitter bombs when you’ve got soul—and Prince Ds got it in spades.

#6: Tiny Diamond

Tiny Diamond is exactly what his name promises: tiny, diamond-encrusted, and absolutely unforgettable.  Born in a glitter explosion from Guy Diamond’s belly during a slow-motion high note (yes, that really happened), Tiny Diamond entered the Trolls universe with more style in his pinky toe than most characters have in a full franchise.  He’s small, sparkly, and full of swagger—immediately announcing himself with a rap so smooth it could outshine a disco ball.

Voiced by Kenan Thompson, Tiny Diamond brings a totally different kind of energy to the table: he’s got old-school hip-hop vibes in a pint-sized, glittery body.  His confident rhymes and laid-back poses are hilarious partly because of the contrast—he’s basically a baby in sunglasses, dropping rhymes with the attitude of a full-grown superstar.  He calls everyone “mom” and “dad,” rocks tiny shades, and never once questions if he’s the main event.  Because to Tiny?  He is

What makes him such a high-ranking groove master is that he’s not just flash—he’s rhythm incarnate.  Whether he’s hyping up a crowd or dropping unexpected one-liners, Tiny Diamond always brings the funk.  And let’s be real: that baby-sized mic drop?  Iconic.  He’s proof that size doesn’t matter when it comes to star power.  With one verse, he can turn any Troll party into a concert—and that’s the kind of groove we live for.

#5: Branch

Branch may have started the franchise as the grump of Troll Village, but when it comes to hidden groove?  This guy’s got it locked deep inside.  Voiced by Justin Timberlake, Branch initially stood out as the one Troll who didn’t sing, dance, or glitter—basically the antithesis of everything Trolls stood for.  But beneath the grey skin and doom-and-gloom attitude was a powerhouse of soul just waiting for the right moment to shine.

That moment comes when he sings “True Colors” with Poppy—and when he does, it’s like the whole world changes.  Suddenly, this low-key survivalist becomes a full-blown pop prince.  His voice is rich, heartfelt, and full of emotion, and his sense of rhythm?  Impeccable.  Once he embraces his colorful side, Branch’s dance moves explode with unexpected swagger.  He’s got that pop star smoothness, the ability to lead a musical number and hit every emotional beat without missing a step.

But what really elevates Branch in the glitter-and-groove rankings is his evolution.  Watching someone go from silent brooder to full-on duet partner is one of the franchise’s most rewarding arcs—and it’s funnier, cuter, and groovier every time you rewatch it.  By the time Trolls World Tour rolls around, Branch is not only leading the charge with Poppy, but he’s also singing, dancing, and glittering like a pro.  He still has his serious side, but now it’s balanced with heart, rhythm, and some of the best harmonies in the kingdom. 

Branch is proof that groove doesn’t always start loud—it can grow.  And when it does?  It’s unstoppable.

#4: Queen Barb 

Queen Barb crashes into Trolls World Tour like a thunderous guitar riff—and she doesn’t just shake things up, she shreds them into rock ‘n’ roll chaos.  As the fierce, leather-jacket-wearing ruler of the Rock Trolls, Barb brings the edgy counterpoint to all the sweetness in the Trolls universe.  She’s mohawked, mascara-smeared, and ready to thrash—and her groove?  It’s a headbanger’s dream. 

Voiced by the powerhouse Rachel Bloom, Queen Barb is more than just attitude.  She’s got serious musical chops.  When she belts out her rock anthems or shreds on her electric guitar, it’s not just noise—it’s a sonic statement.  She believes in the unifying power of music, even if her methods are a little… intense.  She’s also wildly expressive, turning every sneer, strut, and solo into a full-blown performance.

Her glitter and groove factor comes from her unapologetic personality.  She doesn’t just perform—she commits, body and soul.  And behind that punk-rock exterior is a Troll who genuinely cares about unity, even if she hides it behind snarls and guitar picks.  She’s more than just a villain—she’s a showstopper. 

And let’s be honest—Barb’s stage presence is second to none.  Whether she’s floating in on a bone-decorated platform or drop-kicking into a power cord, she owns every beat like a headlining act.  Her outfits are fire, her vocals are fierce, and her groove is all power, no filter.  Queen Barb may march to the beat of a different drum set, but her rhythm rocks hard—and we’re absolutely here for it. 

#3: King Trollex 

Imagine a laser light show became sentient and got its own EDM festival—congrats, you’ve just met King Trollex.  As the techno-powered ruler of the Techno Trolls, King Trollex doesn’t walk—he floats.  Literally.  He zips through the air with neon trails, glitchy sound effects, and a beat that never stops.  He’s the embodiment of rave culture in one fluorescent, beat-dropping Trollfish. 

Voiced by Anthony Ramos, Trollex is instantly memorable.  His underwater kingdom is a jaw-dropping spectacle of lights, lasers, and digital design, and his entrance into the film is nothing short of iconic.  As he shouts, “Drop the beat!” and the music pulses like a living force, it becomes clear: this guy doesn’t just feel music—he is music. 

His glitter and groove are inseparable from his energy.  He doesn’t have traditional limbs or hair, but who cares?  Trollex dances with his entire being.  His body pulses with color, responding to the rhythm like a living light show.  He moves with fluid grace and explosive excitement, like a mix between a DJ, a jellyfish, and an LED speaker. 

And what makes him especially awesome?  He’s joyful.  Even when faced with danger, he dances first and worries later.  His positive energy is contagious, his beats are infectious, and his groove is intergalactic. King Trollex proves you don’t need sequins to sparkle—sometimes, all you need is the bass, the beat, and a big heart that glows. 

#2: Poppy

Poppy is the poster Troll for positivity, pep, and pop perfection.  As the Queen of the Pop Trolls, she’s bubbly, bedazzled, and bursting with color from head to toe—and yet, she’s also deeply empathetic, determined, and wise in her own glittery way.  Voiced by Anna Kendrick, Poppy’s bright pink hair, flower crown, and mile-wide smile are just the beginning of what makes her shine. 

Poppy’s glitter game is strong—she rocks bold patterns, sparkly accessories, and hair so powerful it practically has a mind of its own.  But it’s her groove that truly makes her unforgettable.  She lives for music. Every speech turns into a song.  Every plan involves choreography.  Her idea of diplomacy?  A dance-off.  And somehow, it always works. 

Her ability to rally people through music is unmatched.  Whether she’s leading a village dance party or throwing herself into saving the entire Troll kingdom with a glitter guitar strapped to her back, Poppy grooves with purpose.  She doesn’t just love pop music—she embodies it.  She harmonizes in every genre, adapts to every beat, and always puts love at the center of the song. 

What really puts Poppy near the top of this list is her heart.  Her groove is tied to emotion—she uses music to understand others, to connect, and to unite.  She believes in differences, in blending styles, and in using song to create harmony, not division.  That’s a groove that goes beyond the dance floor—it’s soul-deep. 

She may be sunshine in troll form but make no mistake: Poppy has range.  And when it comes to leading with glitter and groove?  She’s nearly unmatched. 

#1: Queen Essence

Topping our list is the queen with funk in her soul, fire in her step, and a voice so smooth it could melt a vinyl record—Queen Essence.  As the regal, radiant ruler of the Funk Trolls, she enters Trolls World Tour like a vision of pure soul.  Voiced by the incomparable Mary J. Blige, Queen Essence oozes cool, commands attention, and delivers funk wisdom with every word.  She is grooving royalty—period.

Queen Essence doesn’t need to shout or sparkle excessively—her presence is the glitter.  Her look alone is iconic: deep purple tones, cosmic patterns, a towering afro that shifts with emotion, and an aura of velvet groove.  When she speaks, the world listens.  When she sings?  The world moves.  She drops truths like basslines and backs them up with flawless vocals and choreography that flow like honey.

She brings a depth to the Trolls universe that no other character quite matches.  She knows the power of music to heal, to empower, and to unify.  And when she delivers her monologue about how the Funk Trolls didn’t conform—they inspired—it’s not just history.  It’s an anthem.  Her performance of “It’s All Love” is a show-stopping moment of groove that blends old-school rhythm with modern fire. 

But what seals her #1 spot is the fact that she’s the full package: wisdom, style, rhythm, and soul.  Queen Essence doesn’t just live the music—she is the music.  She dances with meaning, sings with heart, and commands with grace.  In a kingdom filled with stars, she shines the brightest—because her groove comes from within. 

She’s not just a character.  She’s a mood

The Trolls universe is a kaleidoscope of rhythm, radiance, and ridiculous levels of glitter—but beneath all that shine are characters who groove with heart.  Whether it’s Branch’s journey from brooding to beat-dropping, Guy Diamond’s unapologetic sparkle, or Queen Essence’s regal rhythm, each Troll brings their own style to the dance floor.  Together, they show us that groove isn’t just about dancing—it’s about connection, emotion, and owning your sparkle in a world that sings.

So go ahead—blast the soundtrack, shake your hair loose, and remember in Troll Village, everyone’s got glitter.  But these ten?  They’ve got the groove to match.
