In her hair, she wears a large pink bow that seems to be made from a felt material. Smidge also wears a pink dress with a light blue pom-pom on it.
Despite being small, she has a masculine, gruff-like voice.

Personality[]
Smidge's character was mostly not fleshed out in the movies, and most things about her therefore come from Trolls: The Beat Goes On! and Trolls: TrollsTopia. In Trolls, however, does give her the catchphrase "Oh my Guh!", which she says a lot.
Smidge is a tough Troll, often resorting to the most violent methods first, as exampled in the "The Giver". She actually prefers to be adorable at times, as evidenced by her "Be Adorable Day" holiday suggestion in "Blank Day", although struggles not to be aggressive as shown in "Crushin' It". Like many Pop Trolls, she's keen to get involved in things that sound fun, and not on those that don't sound fun. She tends to overreact with anger and excitement, making her emotionally expressive and loud, though most of the time doesn't behave like this.
Smidge's easily impressed by anything that involves making friendships around Troll Village. Later in Trolls: TrollsTopia, she extends that to the new TrollsTopia project. She's keen to help others, but impatient. She likes joining in the fun of other Trolls, and has a mischievious side when paired up with others like Guy Diamond. She's also not above mocking or pointing out the flaws of others.
In "Hide & Go Hug", DJ Suki lists her as a Troll known to take charge when she's panicking over who to imitate to deal with the Rock-coons. However, it's never stated how she takes charge.
Relationships[]
Love Interests[]
Milton Moss[]
In Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, she has a crush on Milton Moss, the gentliest Troll in all of Troll Village. The first time this is shown was in "Crushin' It", where she tried to put an etiquette of "perfect lady" towards him; but she got him to love her back after saving him from a Tarantacapuffacus. Later episodes involving their relationship include "Hair Ball", "To Catch A Critter" and briefly in "What Did I Miss?".
Friends[]
Queen Poppy[]
Smidge and Poppy are close friends. In Trolls, Poppy gets sad and worried when Chef takes Smidge and her other friends away, but she stays hopeful that she will rescue them.
In Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, it's shown that Smidge is fiercely loyal to Poppy, which can get problematical for her at times, as seen in episodes like "The Helper".
Guy Diamond[]
Smidge and Guy Diamond have a fluctuating relationship in Trolls: The Beat Goes On!. In "Unhealthy Competition", Guy competed against her over Stoutberry juice making. In "Crushin' It", however, Guy and Branch both attempted to join in helping to teach Smidge how to be more refined. Meanwhile in "Hair Ball", Guy invites her to the Hair Ball as his date; when he finds out she also invited Milton Moss, he was more insulted, as she didn't tell him then that she had two dates. Although, he was able to use the situation to get pity from others, and was still prepared to act as a disco ball for the pair's final dance of the night.
There are times Smidge and Guy work together in mischief, as they tend to play off of each other's traits. For example, they enjoyed mocking Branch in the episode "The Bunker List".
Synth[]
Synth asked Smidge in the Trolls: TrollsTopia episode "Palentine's Day" to be his Palentine after receiving her card.
Family[]
Smidge had a number of ancestors and relatives named or mentioned in "Smidgician", Smidge comes from a family of illusionists. Her parents were also mentioned in the episode, though not named, as being unlike other members of their family. They raised Smidge to focus on physical strength, rather then illusions, as they also did not focus on illusions.
Skills & Abilities[]
She has most normal Troll abilities, as well as the abilities of her Tribe.
Her physicality comes into account sometimes when it comes to weight and size matters, due to her being smaller and lighter than most Trolls.
Physical Training[]
In "Follicle Fitness" and "The Trolls-a-Thon", Synth and Smidge are shown to be in charge of the Hairnasium, where they help students meet goals by giving their students 224%. Along with other help, the duo help Trolls better their physical prowess and get into shape.
Competitions[]
Smidge enjoys winning as much as the next Troll, though usually not at the cost of friendship. She and Biggie have been holding a longtime record together in the musical thrones tournament, as seen in the Trolls: The Beat Goes On! episode "Musical Thrones". She's not disappointed in losing, but at least likes to feel she stood a chance as exampled in "Snow Day", where she's distraught that she failed to get a 1st place medal. Though she forgot about friendship in Musical Thrones, nearly costing her partnership with Biggie, in "The Party Games", she was shown to not be bothered as much as being a winner as she was on friendship and teamwork. She joins in with most sports and games shown in the 2D series.
Music[]
Smidge can be considered to have a bass or baritone singing voice.
In "Big Poppy", Smidge is also good in rapping and even competed against Master Controll in the compliment rap battle.
As mentioned in her Trolls bio, Smidge likes Heavy Metal and works out to this.
Crochet[]
In her Trolls bio, it's mentioned that she likes to crochet.
Illusions[]
In Trolls: The Beat Goes On! episode "Smidgician", Smidge tries her hand at illusions to mimick her ancestors. She was unable to pull off the basic of tricks, and was unable to become the magician her ancestors were. She noted that this appears to steem from her parents, who focused on physical strength instead.
Psyche[]
As typical of Pop Trolls, Smidge is reluctant towards the mundane and prefers things that sound fun and engaging in 2D animation. In the Trolls: TrollsTopia episode "Smidge in the Saddle", Smidge tried to avoid learning how to be Gust Tumbleweed's deputy, believing that she could do his job without study and years of experience. Despite her disdain of the mundane and avoidance of complex metaphors and explanations, Smidge is actually quite intelligent. In "Peril Patch" and "Keep It Up", she breaks the fourth wall to question the plot of the episode while talking to other characters, and has a running gag about her repeating things in a more complex re-phrasing. When with other Trolls such as Guy Diamond, she's the most likely to protest over unfun activites, and due to her rashness can act without thinking.
Medical Status and Issues[]
Smidge is best known for being one of the strongest Trolls alive, and is the physically strongest member of the Pop Trolls. She's the only one capable of squeezing Stoutberry into juice, as seen in "Unhealthy Competition". In "Smidgician", she notes her tendency to go from physical strength is a result of her parents, as they were "the physical strength type". It's mentioned in some media that Smidge also has the strongest hair among the Pop Trolls.
Smidge has a violent streak and is most willing to deal with problems physically with aggression. She has issues with being effeminate, despite showing many times like "Blank Day" that she enjoys being cute, because she's used to being brash and aggressive.

Etymology[]
"Smidge" is a different spelling for "smidgen", which in turn means "small amount".
Most of Smidge's ancestors were also named after words referring to small sizes.
When translated into other langauges, her name usually continues to carry the meaning of "small".
Trivia[]
General
- Smidge and Biggie have contrasting designs and somewhat visual jokes; Biggie is a large Troll with short hair and Smidge is a small Troll with long hair, as confirmed in The Art of DreamWorks Trolls. Their designs are a play on the normal proportions of the Troll design, which stands 6 inches tall with their height being equal length in both body and hair at 3 inches.
- This also extends to their personalities in the 2D animations. Biggie is quiet, shy, soft-spoken, and gentle, with a reluctant outlook to life; while Smidge is loud, aggressive and bolder with her approach in contrast.
- Smidge's deep voice is also a subversion joke.
- Smidge is the member of The Snack Pack with the most known ancestors, while DJ Suki is the one with the most known living relatives.
- She was also the first Troll to mention having "parents", rather than appearing to have either 1 parent or simply not mentioning any parents at all.
- In her official bio for Trolls, it's noted that she listened to heavy metal music during work outs with The Art of DreamWorks Trolls stating specifically that it's Swedish Death Metal. This is technically impossible and as of Trolls World Tour and this part of her bio has since been retcon out.
- Merchandise from Mattel seems to indicate she was going to be in Trolls Band Together but was cut from the final version of the movie. A similar issues happened with DJ Suki who had a doll in the Hasbro Fashion Troll Dolls range. Smidge's doll appears in the promotions for the Mattel Small Dolls range. She is one of the two Trolls that were cut from the aforementioned movie, alongside Fuzzbert.
- She does not appear in Trolls: Holiday in Harmony or Trolls Band Together.
