#* *personality.

To those she is unfamiliar with, Vivienne is a distant, guarded, and often outright cold individual. She cares little for anyone outside of her established circles, making the task of befriending her a difficult challenge for those that may try. Succeed, however, and you will find no more fiercely loyal a companion. To those she loves and trusts, Vivienne could be described like a dotting older sister. An overbearing one, even, some have claimed. She will defend you against all that seeks to cause you harm - or whatever it is she perceives might cause you harm. To varying degrees of success and annoyance.Beneath her hardened exterior rests a gentle, sensitive soul. Though she may walk with the confidence of a well seasoned warrior, the truth of the matter is that she has perfected the aesthetics of strength as a means of protecting herself. However, don't think that this means Vivienne lacks for combat prowess. Much the opposite - Vivienne is more than capable in a fight, acting as a reliable front liner in most encounters, especially in ones where those she cares about are at risk.

#* *history.

Vivienne was born and raised within an isolated cloister deep within the snow capped mountains of northern Aldenard. This cloister was home to a group of conjurers who, for centuries, all worked together in such severe conditions to achieve the same goal; to keep the land they occupied until they found someone worthy of their best kept secret.Deep beneath the cloister's brick and stone was a sacred chamber devoted to housing a soul crystal, one which contained the memories of a once supremely powerful White Mage. The brothers and sisters of this cloister hoped that, one day, they may come to find someone worthy of acting as the White Mage's successor. To their delight, that day occurred when a young Vivienne had been made to stand judgement before the crystal's glow. While other children before her had been irreparably maimed, or even killed, by the unfeeling judgement of the crystal's power, Vivienne had not only emerged from the trial unharmed, but also enlightened.From that day forward, Vivienne's life as an independent was forfeit. She was now set to be groomed into the greatest among her people, a woman worthy of being the wielder of a divine right. The heaven-sent beckon to guide her brothers and sisters into a new era of prosperity. Her people assisted her in interpreting the teachings of the soul crystal. In time, she learned much of what the crystal had to offer her, becoming an adept user of white magic by the time she entered her adulthood. Yet, emotionally, she was stifled.To Vivienne, her 'divine right' was nothing more than a burden. She was well aware of all those that had been harmed or killed in the test to see who was worthy of this power, and she waded through their blood with each step she took in the name of 'progress'. Her people cared not for the lives of those lost, or forever changed by their actions. Nor did they care for what Vivienne had to say about her own situation.It was a long time coming, the day that Vivienne had enough of the cloister's righteousness. On a day where her brother's and sister's were set to pray, Vivienne made her break, vanishing into the mouth of a fearsome blizzard.( Further details of these events are better learned IC! )
