EXPOSITION
Vivian is the granddaughter of Torquil Travers, former head of the DMLE, and younger sister to Marceaux (born 11 months after).
Her father, Troilus, was an abusive POS (what’s new with the Travers family).
Her mother, Angelique Tremblay (very French, not the Veela kind though), sought companionship elsewhere and discovered she was pregnant by someone else (identity still a mystery). That child was Marceaux, who she passed off as the son of Troilus, and quickly got pregnant after his birth with Margeaux (she would eventually go by her middle name, Vivian).
When Viv and Marceaux were 7/8, Troilus learned the truth and attacked Angelique, who managed to push him down the staircase and he died. She attempted to flee the country with the kiddos, but the dickbag that is Torquil Travers apprehended her, threw her in Azkaban, and raised the kids. Important to note that Viv didn’t learn about the affair and Marceaux’s paternity until April 1980.
Viv grew up in the shadow of Marceaux, who was set to become an auror. She found herself talented with Arithmancy, and frequently likes to use her formulas to learn key events about others and manipulate them.
RECAP
In summer 1979, Torquil and Marceaux fought which left Marceaux comatose. Viv retaliated and did some nasty shit to Torquil.
Believing that Marceaux would recover, Viv began taking Polyjuice to masquerade as her brother to ensure he went to the Academy and furthered his allegiance to Moldy Voldy.
The excessive use of the potion has, for a lack of better words, chipped away at Viv’s already minimal amount of sanity. She murdered Leigh Flint without remorse, and this was only the beginning. She also tried to mess around with Emma, but was ultimately caught the second time.
Since learning of Marceaux’s parentage, she’s felt distant from him. When she pinned the blame on him, which resulted in his expulsion from Hoggy and rejection from the Academy, it sort of cemented that while she loves her brother and wants to discover his true father to murder the dude, he’s not a Travers.
She also married Jennifer Burke (as Marceaux) and proceeded to sleep with her too (as Marceaux), which resulted in Jen getting knocked up with twins (that are Viv’s, not Marceaux). Viv is indifferent to having children, feeling strongly that they’re more Jen’s than hers, but will provide and protect them as they are part of her fucked up family of Traverses.
UPDATES
Vivian herself graduated from Hoggy in 1980, and since then has been traveling across Europe and training—studying various fighting techniques, physical and magical, and testing them out through killing randos. She won’t stay for too long as she wants to be around when the twins are born.
She doesn’t often present as Marceaux anymore, wanting to establish herself as the true head of the Travers family. She has been using Polyjuice to present as randos, though, during her killing sprees across Europe.
