Piltover Enforcer Vi (born Violet) is a fiction character from Riot Games' League of Legends media franchise. She was introduced as a playable character, or "Champion" within the game's lore, in a December 2012 update for the 2009 multiplayer online battle arena video game of the same name, which was complemented by an official upload track to commemorate her introduction. She is presented as an impulsive and contemptuous woman who uses a massive pair of gauntlets powered with magical energy as her weapon of choice. Although she is nicknamed The Piltover Enforcer because of her association with the city's Guardians, she is a former criminal who hails from Zaun, originally the undercity region of Piltover. She is the archenemy as well as older sister of the terrorist Jinx, another League of Legends Champion.

Vi has appeared in various derivative works of the franchise, most notably as one of the lead characters of the Netflix animated series Arcane, where she is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld. Storylines explored by Arcane that involve Vi include her history with Jinx, who was originally named Powder, as well as her eventual love interest, the Piltover noblewoman Caitlyn Kiramman. Vi has received a generally positive reception, especially for Arcane iteration of the character.

Riot Games designer Josh Singh originally conceived the character as a girl named Ruby, who wears roller-skates. Singh's original concept was discarded after two years of development; she was renamed and redesigned by Paul Kwon, who gave her the code name "Piltover Enforcer". Kwon's colleague August Browning approved of his character work and decided to utilize the character as part of the team's ongoing work with introducing new playable Champions for League of Legends. Browning leaned on Kwon's illustration of Vi with oversized gloves, and as a result her gameplay mechanics are primarily based on the archetype of a punk girl with an aggressive personality.

Graham McNeill was the writer responsible for coming up with Vi's backstory as an ex-criminal who assumes the role of a "bad cop" on behalf of the prosperous city of Piltover. Vi was the first League of Legends champion to receive a login screen accompanied by an original, lyrical song track performed by Nicki Taylor and Cia Court, her English voice actress for the video game. Christian Linke and Alex Yee were involved with the lyrical song track, as well as the music and narrative storyboarding for Get Jinxed, the first character-driven cinematic released for a League of Legends champion which served to introduce Jinx, Vi's sister. Linke and Yee would later serve as showrunner of the animated television series adaptation of League of Legends, Arcane.
