Hair: Waist length, black, dyed royal blue (fading)
Description: Born from a strict, well off family, it took a lot of courage to tell her parents that a financing career was not for her. Immediately after confessing to them about her dreams and aspirations of becoming an artist, they cut her funding and refused to pay her tuition for her new degree. This came with a lot of money stretching and creativity for Viv, as she almost always had the funds to meet basic needs. With the help of her close friend, Ken, she learns multiple ways of making and saving money through artistry.
Vivian is a realistic optimist, learning from her countless mistakes and making a few on the way. She has always had a creative side; her first time with crafting was her grandmother teaching her to knit a scarf for her stuffed animal. Her parents saw it as more of a hobby, but Viv’s love for it grew more. After pressuring her into a degree she didn’t want, Vivian realised her parents only cared about image. They wanted her in financing to fit into what they deemed appropriate. Because of this, and cutting her off from not only income but also contact, she feels no remorse telling them off when they attempt to chastise her. She proves them wrong on several occasions; staying in school while working multiple jobs and gaining notoriety from peers and fans alike. Viv believes this is not all because of her; her long-distance friend gave her endless support to start her off.
Works: Part-time barista at Wiccan Beans; sells clothes, cosplay items, and jewelry through online store (named Vivid Vision), relatively popular video blogger (mainly makeup tutorials or everyday life), and also takes commissions for cosplay outfits.
Pets: Dark blue remora fish named Velcro
Likes: Knitting, sculpting, baking, making clothes, drinking coffee, hiding treats for Velcro, talking to/texting Ken (they go to different universities)
Dislikes: Her parents visiting (they constantly berate about her choices), people haggling prices, pulling week-long all-nighters, debt
Miscellaneous: Known in her coffee shop for making incredibly delicious lemon bars; wants to learn how to weld; hopes to rekindle her relationship with her parents
