Official Bios
Trolls
“ |
DJ Suki can always be counted on to lay down some beats for an impromptu musical moment — of which there are many in Troll Village. Her DJ equipment is all natural, consisting of crickets, beetles and other little bugs that she scratches and mixes with to create a totally unique sound. She commonly falls asleep in the daytime.

Trolls: The Beat Goes On!

DJ Suki creates the soundtrack of Troll Village and is the chillest personality in the whole forest. She has a big, empathetic heart and when her core principles are challenged, she'll stand up for what she believes in - like keeping a party going or making sure you don't harsh someone's mellow. |

Personality
Suki tries so hard to please other Trolls, and she doesn't like letting others down. She 's encouraging to her niece CJ, because she doesn't want to see her disappointed or sad. She wants to be a good DJ and please her fellow Trolls, and a good aunt to her niece. These simple desires to please others are her best traits. She often joins in parties offering her DJ skills, as well as a lot of the fun things her friends attempt to do.
While not as extreme as Branch's paranoia or as anxious as Biggie, she worries about failure at times, since disappointment is something she doesn't handle well. When issues arise, she often turns to her friends for help, especially Poppy, in order to receive support and encouragement.
DJ is laid-back and a bit lazy at times, being able to fall asleep with very little effort. In "The Giver", she states that she learnt to sleep with her eyes open due to Poppy's annual "Giver" search driving her crazy. She's also subject in a Ask Poppy episode "Nail Your Morning Routine" where it's shown she had a bad morning routine, and for her birthday in "Two Party System", was given a chair to sleep on.
In the Trolls: TrollsTopia episode "Palentine's Day", it was shown that DJ appreciates kind gestures towards her, but she has her limits on what she can reciprocate, as shown by Demo's Pal-posal going horribly wrong. DJ isn't a complicated Troll, and preferred a simple Pal-posal over an elaborate and disastrous one.
In the series' final episode "Troll Exchange Program", DJ Suki was the best candidate for King Trollex's Troll exchange program. The result is that for one year she'd get to experience Techno Troll culture by herself, in exchange of teaching the Techno Trolls about Pop Troll culture. DJ was excited when it was announced, but when she had to leave, she was clearly saddened as she was saying goodbye to her friends; she departed on the adventure nonetheless.
Relationships
Queen Poppy
DJ Suki is shown to be close friends with Poppy in Trolls and Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, and thus is a member of The Snack Pack.
As one of Poppy's dearest friends, she was reluctant for DJ to leave TrollsTopia, but to Poppy, the thought of losing any of her friends for 1 year was too much for her. When DJ leaves, the two exchange talk briefly and Poppy tells her that as a friend to know that she loves her and always remember that.
CJ Suki
CJ Suki looks up to DJ as her favorite aunt. DJ is basically her idol, and DJ likes to meet CJ's expectations and hates to disappoint her niece, even though CJ still thinks DJ is awesome even when the latter happens. The two have a great relationship.
Gertrude
Gertrude is DJ's favorite aunt, whom she mentioned, but was never seen. From what DJ had told about her, the pair seem to have a similar relationship to the one DJ and CJ have. It was Gertrude who took DJ to Wooferbug Valley when she completed her Troll Ranger badges.
Demo
In the Trolls: TrollsTopia episode "Palentine's Day", Demo went to great lengths to get DJ Suki's attention so that he could ask her if she would be his Palentine on Palentine's Day when he's tasked with proposing to her for the event. She later told Demo that she preferred him to do simple gestures rather than making a big show with his proposal, but still became his friend afterwards.
Skills & Abilities
She has most normal Troll abilities.
Music
DJ has unmatched skills in mixing and DJing in Troll Village, and is capable of DJing like no other Troll. She rides on her Wooferbug and performs most of her DJing from it. According to DJ, her Wooferbug is less stubborn than her niece's one, which she got for her birthday. In "Big Poppy", DJ mentioned that the compliment rap battle was her first show that she ever DJ'ed. In "New Anthem", it was noted that the issue with her music is that it can be repetitive with little in the way of lyrics.
In "Daylight Ravings Time", while teaching Laguna Tidepool on how to be a DJ, DJ Suki almost reveals that being a DJ is actually easy and is a skill learnt quickly in a short amount of time with little effort. To not undermine her own talent, she corrects herself and rephrases her wording to hide how easy it is to catch it up.
Psyche
DJ isn't the smartest Troll of The Snack Pack; in fact, her and Cooper are the two least likely to come up with complex solutions to life's problems. But she's not stupid, and knows her stuff on subjects she's best at; it's everything else that she doesn't necessarily understand. She simply lacks the resourcefulness or ability to resolve the problem like other Trolls such as Branch, Guy Diamond or Poppy can be and has a habit of falling asleep when she looses interest.
In "Hide & Go Hug", DJ, Synth and Demo are depicted as being just as clueless as each other. With Cooper, the only other Troll in the franchise depicted as being less intelligent, having found Poppy in her hiding spot, the trio didn't even remember that they were playing a game by the end of the episode.
Vehicle Maneuver
In "Flyer's Ed", DJ Suki attended Lownote Jones's flying lessons. She passed the class, but like most of the students came nowhere near Poppy and Val Thundershock's grade. It's unknown if she progressed in her vehicle maneuver skills beyond this.
Swimming
In "Troll Exchange Program", it was shown that she is an adapt swimmer, she beat several Trolls during the swimming round and although Poppy tried to get her result disqualified it was pointed out by Branch even with a false start, she still won by a significant time.
Other Talents
DJ was shown in the Trolls: The Beat Goes On! episode "DJ's Got Talent" to have issues with talents outside of DJing, as DJ has virtually no additional skills beyond it. She learns in the episode how to ride a Saddle Spider, but soon discovers despite that her hopes she still didn't have an "unique talent" of her own when another Troll turns up with the same talent as her. In an earlier episode, "Party Crash Course", she struggled with partymaking after her previous party failed miserably, needing a crash course on how to run a party.
Medical Status and Issues
Many media either show or mention that DJ Suki is prone to falling asleep randomly, but no explanation is ever given as to what the reason for this is. In "The Giver", DJ was shown sleeping with her eyes open.

Trivia
General
- DJ is the only member of The Snack Pack who has a quite large known family. She has 3 aunts and a niece, though her aunts are never shown and were just noted in passing reference. Due to her having a niece, she presumably has a sibling as well. Even though her aunt Gertrude doesn't follow the "Suki" naming scheme, she's also a DJ herself.

- Jim Mortensen, who worked on Trolls: The Beat Goes On! and Trolls: TrollsTopia, made a joke headcanon on her absence in Trolls World Tour. He's the only person working in the DreamWorks Trolls franchise who talked about it so far.[6]
- She appeared briefly in the Just Sing Sing-A-Thon video.
- Eventually, she was formally written out of TrollsTopia in the final episode, "Troll Exchange Program", where she's selected by the council to accept King Trollex's invitation to have one Pop Troll live in the Techno Trolls' home of Techno Reef after she had proved to be an ideal candidate.
