Livia Victus

Livia Victus Aventina is the daughter of Keirix Victus by his ex-wife wife, Leila Aventen. While she primarily lives with her mother and step-father, Jeiran Darikun, she spends several months of the year living with her father and step-father, Callian Vecturis, when her mother is away on a tour of duty. Livia idolises both Callian and Jeiran, whom she considers to be safe neutral parties whenever her parents are at each other's throats. She prefers to go to them for advice over her parents, which was initially a major point of contention for Leila.

Livia is the granddaughter of two primarchs through both her paternal and maternal bloodlines; *Primarch* Fidellion Victus of Palaven and *Primarch* Nasira Aventen of Parthia. She is also the paternal great-great-granddaughter of *Primarch* Adrien Victus of Palaven. As the granddaughter of both Fidellion and Nasira, she was entitled to wear purple from birth. Rather than being named after an ancestor or famous historical figure, as is turian custom, Livia's father named her after a derivative of the word for the colour blue, as a nod to the blue crossed swords which adorn House Victus' sigil. He often affectionately shortens her name to "Livi".

After both of her parents divorced and married their soulmates, Livia became the centre of a large family. She likes to say that she grew up with four parents instead of just two: three dads - Keirix, Callian and Jeiran - and one mum - Leila. As she is the only child of both couples, all four of them share parenting duties and are utterly devoted to her. They often do things together as a family, especially when celebrating important milestones in Livia's life, albeit Livia does make sure to spend time with both sets of parents separately.

#### Colour genetics

At a glance, Livia appears to take more after her mother than her father; genes passed down through her paternal line have still influenced her appearance albeit in far more subtle ways. Her plate colour is a cross between her mother's signature Aventen terracotta and her paternal grandfather's light brown, which he in turn inherited from his own mother, Iacoba Parvus.

Livia's eye colour is a beautiful sea green. While green eyes run in the Aventen bloodline, Livia's are unique as they contain myriad flecks of blue, making them appear more teal or turquoise in colouration. The presence of blue in her irises is attributed to her father, who himself has blue eyes that were passed down the line to him through his father, great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother (Fidellion Victus, Tarquin Victus and Saira Caesonia, respectively.)

Due to her genetic expression of strong maternal genes, there are rumours that Livia is not Keirix's child and that she was fathered by her mother's lover, Jeiran Darikun. This rumour can easily be debunked, however, as Leila did not start having a physical relationship with Jeiran until Livia was already eight years old. Livia has always been Keirix Victus' true-born daughter.
