☆ BIOGRAPHY ☆

Born and raised in Whiskey Flats, she is the other half of the wright twins and it has been a huge part of her identity since birth. Through her childhood colt was her best friend and her constant. she could always depend on him to be there. Once they started getting older though things changed. They both were fighting against the matching twins, the twins that were a package deal, the conjoined twins, however anyone in town wanted to describe it.

Vivi found herself wanting to separate as much as possible from her family and salt flats. separation though just meant that colt would only receive worse than what he was already bringing on himself. So her own rebellion took a back seat to keep colt from falling off the deep end. Art and dance became her form of separation and escape for most of her adolescence. She picked up whatever form of expression she could, whether it be dance, painting, photography, sewing, clothes alteration. Anyway to express herself without action was her goal. It was where she could fully let loose and be free.

After graduation Vivi was a bit lost on what to do, but it was finally her chance. She had applied to universities and professional dance schools across Texas. Only to find out her that her serious struggle with stage fright would hold her back from a true professional career. That and a jealous boyfriend who caused her to hold back and hide more than she ever had before. Showing up with bruises to a show wasn’t exactly a dream anyway. So she settled for college life and getting her degree to become a dance teacher.

After a stretch of jumping around from school to school, Vivi returned home to Salt Flats to start her own dance school. She still holds herself back but finds so much joy in seeing the budding dancers grow.

"It's ok, I think it was good for me to get it all settled on my own." Frankie said with a shrug of her shoulders. "But you can help me decorate, you were always better at that then me." She laughed. "Oh trust me, Colt and I already have plans to meet up and stuff. We do have our own phone calls you know, not just taking over yours." She said and laughed. "I'm excited to see him in person though."

[viviann-art]

Viv nodded not wanting to press the matter anymore. She smiled and shook her head, "I'm good at decorating for me. I don't know about what you would like. So we'll have to make it a group project." Her brows rose and she smirked at the mention of Frankie already having plans to meet up with Colt. "He's going to steal you away isn't he?" She teased knowing they would more than likely be three inseparable friends. "I'm sure he's just as excited to see you, honestly. If you weren't in the room when he called he always sounded so depressed, like he deflated on the phone if you weren't there with me."

[liv-lees-deactivated20230628]

Liv didn't give her mother credit for most of her behaviors. However, she did have to give Gwen the credit for instilling personally delivered 'thank you' cards into her core values. She was pretty excited to give Viv this card as it had a cute little tiger and bear on it wearing sunglasses. It was that excitement that led Liv to Viv's dance studio a few hours before her nightshift began. "It's just me," Liv called back at the sound of Viv's voice. She hadn't really considered that Viv might be a little nervous with an unannounced visit, but that didn't deter her as they both wound up facing each other. "I got you a card -- thank you for driving me home the other day. I was probably being a little dramatic, but it was nice to not have to drive anyways -- for you."

[viviann-art]

Viv let out a deep sigh, "Okay, okay." She wiped her brow stepping into the lobby and smiled at the card, "you didn't have to do this." She smiled but opened the card, grinning at it knowing it would saved like all her other cards she had through her life. "Anytime you need a ride all you have to do is call, honestly. I don't mind. I know when I feel terrible the last thing I want to do is drive or go anywhere, honestly." She smiled, looking back at the studio, "do you wanna... you wanna join me? I'm normally nervous having people watch but I think I can handle one person watching me." She laughed after all now her nerves were shot and she wouldn't want to stay in the studio alone. "Just let me lock the door first."

who: anyone @whiskeyflatsstarters where: coffee & concerts @ the office

"It takes a lot of courage to get up on that stage," she commented, watching as another took the stage after the last had shown off their ability to sing. "It couldn't be me, but kudos to those that make it up there. Are you thinking of taking the stage? Maybe showcase some kind of hidden talent you haven't shared with others yet?" she smiled at the other nearby, careful not to speak too loudly to disturb too many others around them as the person on stage started to perform.

[viviann-art]

Viv nodded, knowing that stage fright was a big competitor for anyone but to jump that hurdle and get up there was ten times more terrifying to her. "Same, it could not be me. No way would I take the stage, especially to sing." She smiled but shook her head, "definitely not." She giggled keeping it down so not to through the performer or anyone else off. "I just came to watch."

[liv-lees-deactivated20230628]

Liv massaged her temples for a moment. While the motion didn't really help it was the only thing she could do in that moment. As Viv reassured her, she looked up with a faint smile. "You better finish all of that, young lady," Liv teased with a squint and a nod towards the remaining bites on her friend's plate. She briefly sent a message to Rhett letting him know that they would need to get the Bronco later. Just as she clicked 'send,' Viv's plate emptied. Liv daintily put her sunglasses on. "Thank you, truly. I don't usually mind driving with headaches," she shrugged as if that would explain the rest. "Y'know, now I'm curious. What music are you blaring in there? Are you a covert heavy metal fan?"

[viviann-art]

"Yes, mom." Viv grinned cleaning her plate, "if it's bothering you that bad though you shouldn't though," She shook her head and waved her response off, "I'm not the medical one here. I shouldn't be telling you how to do things." She shook her head and laughed, "no, uh.. it just depends. Sometimes it's stuff for ballet, or Disney. Pop. A lot of different stuff really." She smiled plopping in her car and turning it on to get it started to cool off and turn off the radio. "You should be safe now. I turned the air up for you too."

[tatemedina-archived]

Tate had been driving home after a late night of parent/teacher conferences (where most of the parents just wanted to talk about next month's spring scrimmage) and noticed the studio light was still on. It wasn't like Whiskey Flats was a dangerous place by any means, but Tate still worried about Viviann. Something about him had never quite been able to let go of that. He pulled over and headed inside, laughing when she called out, calling back. "You leave the door unlocked around here, strangers are going to pop in. You're lucky it's just me and not some crazy murderer. Even though I might still be one, you know."

[viviann-art]

Viv shook her head hearing the voice before making her way into the lobby. "I swore I locked it." She lowered her head hiding her smile and shaking her head, "I would think you would have already murdered me by now but I could be wrong. What are you doing here?" Her brows pulled together of all the places to find Tate her dance studio especially late at night was not common.

[rhettcastillo]

Rhett smiled and shook his head. "Impossible. Your brother's a good dude," Rhett said with a nod. In the world Rhett, he tended to not like people, almost downright be annoyed by them, but Rhett liked Colton. Something about him reminded Rhett of, well, himself. The better part of himself, not the ugly parts, if he was serious. Glancing to her, he nodded, "Yeah, sure. How's the studio? Getting new clients?"

[viviann-art]

Viv smirked, "are you confusing my brother with me?" She teased but knew Colt was a good guy. After all he put up with her as not only a twin but a sister all these years. "Great! I hate eating lunch alone. It's going good so far and yeah, getting a lot of new students in. If we keep growing maybe I'll work up the nerve to have a recital in December. I think the kids would love that. Parents won't because I'll need to add a recital fee and stuff but I'll figure that out closer to when and if I decide on that." Her brows raised, "How have you been?"

[evemcintosh]

Nadia still didn't know her way around Whiskey Flats yet, having only been there a couple weeks now. She hadn't really been out much with working to learn everything that she needed to know about the Settler's Hotel that she didn't have time to explore. Her head was in the clouds and she was intending to go to one of the local food spots, when she opened the door. "Oh, I'm sorry. I looked online and swore that it said you guys didn't close yet," she said stepping into the building to only see that it was definitely not a food place. "I'm new and thought this was a place to get food, but it's not. I hope I didn't scare you too bad."

[viviann-art]

Viv shook her head and laughed, "I mean I keep snacks but uh... no like hot food here." She smiled stepping in to the foyer further and wiping the sweat from her brow, "What's the place you were looking for I might be able to help you, well once I get out of these things." She referenced her pointe shoes with a smile before looking up at the other again.

[liv-lees-deactivated20230628]

As Viv worried her lip, Liv couldn't help but manage a weak smile. She shook her head and slid over one of the other syrup flavors just in case. "Don't worry. It's not like you're screaming at me, so talking's fine. I need to wake up more anyways," Liv said, pausing for a moment as she considered the offer. Maybe she could come back later with Rhett to get the Bronco. "A ride would be nice, though. Probably the smart, responsible citizen thing to do. You don't have a class or anything you need to be at soon, right? I'm not too far from here, but I don't want to rush your breakfast or make your schedule tight."

[viviann-art]

Viv nodded and gave a small smile, "I will happily give you a ride. I don't have any classes for a few hours." Her brows rose and she shook her head, "No, no. No rush at all. Honestly I'm almost done." She said pointing down to her plate that had a few bites on it left but she was already feeling fool. "You're good. Honestly I'll give you a ride. Just umm let me turn down the radio before you get in and stuff." She smiled finishing off her plate with a smile.

Where: Waffle House

Liv started and ended her work shift with a headache. The intensity of which led her to parking the Bronco outside and lumbering into the Waffle House for much needed caffeine. It would only be a temporary fix, but she felt better with the crutch. As morning light streamed in through the windows, Liv bowed her head and rubbed circles on her temples. Feeling a pair of eyes drift her way, she straightened up, wincing. "I'm not hungover -- I swear. Just dealing with the migraine from the deep, deep depths of Hell," she said, then looked at the syrups and salt in front of her. "You need one of those? 'Cause I don't."

[viviann-art]

Viv kept her mouth shut as Liv sat down across from her teeth digging into her lip. "I wasn't going to say it." She smiled and shook her head, reaching for it herself, "I got it. You need a place to rest or something? You need a ride home?" Her brows pulled together as she poured her syrup on her waffle, "need me to just be quiet?" She gritted her teeth realizing she could be making things work.

[viviann-art]

@whiskeyflatsstarters Location: The Dance Studio

It was after closing and she thought she had locked the door when the last family left but she heard the bell above it ding from the studio and stopped what she was doing. "We're closed!" She shouted a little scared when she couldn't see who had come in. "Hello?" It was dark and kind of scary to be alone but this was her time to just be her.

[judsonbozard]

"Guess my accident paid off." Judson wasn't going to incriminate himself in anyway or to any person. Even family. But though - she was right. The other guy was somebody karma should have drop kicked. Probably pot calling the kettle black but it is what it is. "Just turn the other way. I'm sure you can pull off the whole oblivious and outstanding citizen act." He grinned. "But I will take that beer."

[viviann-art]

Viv nodded, "I would say so." Her brows rose and she shook her head, "You do realize who you're talking to right? I can barely keep Christmas presents secret. I would be sweating bullets if I was a witness to something." She gave a quick nod before going to order the beer and bring it back to him. "Beer as promised." She smiled, "I didn't plan on coming tonight but I didn't really have anything else to do."

[marenwilliams]

At the woman's apology, Maren shook her head. There was nothing that anyone could have done differently and while she often struggled to believe that herself, it was easier to admit to an old friend. "I honestly don't even know that I would have replied. That I could have. It's taken me a really long time to get to a place where I'm finally willing to accept the truth. I hardly even spoke to my dad or my sister at that time."

Swallowing hard, Maren tried to rid herself of the small lump that had formed at the back of her throat. Now wasn't the time to let her emotions run wild. Now was the time to reconnect. "That's about it? Viv, that's huge! I'm so happy for you. Is business going well? Oh, please, you're always more than welcome. So long as I get to see the finished product."

[viviann-art]

Viv's brows pulled together and she nodded, "I understand." She hadn't really experienced loss and she didn't know how to tread on the subject or if she wanted to. The thought of it alone had jumbled around in her brain so much that it was mushed in there pretty well.

Viv smiled and her cheeks flushed as she shook her head, "Yes, it is. I mean it's been a gentle start. We're still slowly building and getting things up to standard. I started an adult class and we've got a lot of interest so I may add on some more adult classes. I do enjoy the littles the best though." She chuckled, "Feel free to stop by anytime. I spend so much time there, it's always open or at least I'll be there to open it to you."

starter for @viviann-art at estelle's art walk —

Rhett knew Viviann through Colton. She'd been around enough, even if Colton and their fights were something that was pretty much top secret. As Rhett started to step back from the fights, mostly because he was busy, he was few and far between when it came to the people who weren't the fighters. He came from that world, he knew how it was, hell, he created it. What he didn't really know was the effect on the people around it. "Hey, Viv. How's it?"

[viviann-art]

"Hey, hi." She smiled slightly caught off guard, "it's going." She laughed, "how is everything going for you, Rhett? Hopefully my brother isn't getting you into trouble." She smirked knowing she had seen Rhett and Colt around each other. "I was going to grab some lunch if you want to join me? Taking a little break from the studio while I can today."

[duttonremington]

"You gotta do what you gotta do." Though he never understood those things. He would rather resort to going back to the stone age or something and involve leaves or something if he needed to wipe. "Yeah you're shit out of luck if that thing decides to have a mind of it's own. No off switch to stop." Literally and figuratively. He shook his head though upon musing at the story. Surprisingly that wasn't the craziest thing he had heard.

[viviann-art]

Viv laughed, "I'm just going to have to take it off or something. Suffer through it all." She smiled but sighed at the empty shelves. Shaking her head, "I'm a terrible plant person but this makes me want to try gardening." She shook her head though, "I'd wind up starving, honestly."

[coltonwrights]

Colt shook his head because he had a feeling that no matter what he tried to tell his sister, she was only ever going to chose the same option. Ramen was here to stay. And he figured the cat was going to end up living longer than him as he grinned. "You know there's gonna be the right price from the right person one day an' then I'm not gonna be able to keep it. Not in my right mind when it could go towards helping everything get better," he pointed out, though it would be one of the toughest decisions of his life to let go of the one thing that he not only loved but had been working on for the past year now. "You're not as funny as you think you are." Though he grinned while he said it as Colt closed the hood on both cars so that they could finish up and get him back to town where he'd be able to figure out what kept going wrong. "Yeah, I got plenty of time this week. I'll swing by and take a look. Just let me know when works best for you."

[viviann-art]

Viv raised a brow and shook her head, "no way. I won't believe that till I see it." She chuckled knowing it was going to take a lot more for him to sell that car. Her eyes narrowed at his grin and she pointed knowing her joke hit at least a little. She shrugged, "whenever really. Probably before classes so we might have meet there early." She figured it would be better than trying to get Colt in there during a class. Though it could be quite funny if the little kids were involved.
