**Vivian Keres** is a skeleton hybrid who was born in Lalaca. Her ties to Sadie Sciuridae eventually led her to Taraxacum. After Sadie's death, she became the third President of Taraxacum before she moved into Alrasid with Ormr Keres. Now, she resides in Koto Palace, where she works as an elementary school teacher.

## Description

Vivian's appearance can initially be a little off-putting. Half of her face appears to be rotted away, revealing her skull beneath. The other portion of her face, however, is that of an average woman in her 20s. She has bright hazel eyes that Ormr has compared to a fire, with an underlying red tinge and gold flecks scattered throughout. Her cheeks are usually a soft rosy pink. Besides the skull, she has gentle and approachable features. Her brunette hair is long and wavy.

She wears comfortable clothing that's typically pink, black, or white. During the workday she wears blouses and more professional attire. She always has a large bow in her hair, and she is usually accessorized with snake themed jewelry of some sort.

## Personality

Vivian is an extremely conflicted individual. At her core, she is a very sensitive and caring person. She is typically upbeat and cheerful, always willing to lend a hand when she can. Vivian is patient, determined, and curious. This is all to say: she always comes from a good place, but due to her upbringing in Lalaca, she is also extremely obsessive. This leads her to fixate on certain ideas, concepts, or people and skew her priorities. When she does get her mind set on something, she is endlessly loyal to it.

For the better half of her life, she was devoted to the concept of karma- the concept that what goes around comes around, and to be happy you must keep your karmic balance in check. She obsessed over doing the right thing, as well as punishing those who failed to do so. Her worldview was shaken, however, when she began growing closer to Ormr. Objectively, Ormr likely wouldn't be liked by karma. She struggled to comprehend the two truths she was presented with: that Ormr was a good person, and that karma ruled supreme.

She chose Ormr. To do so, she completely threw out all thoughts of karma. Her mentality shifted completely, along with her personality. She became quick to anger and prone to violence. Her obsessiveness also expanded into possessiveness. Ormr became the center of her mind's attention. She became nearly unrecognizable to those who used to know her and even to herself.

Her instability reached a boiling point when almost murdered several Taraxacum residents. She was forced to see the person she'd become and come to terms with her insanity. After this incident, she played a game of Viha Roulette with herself, handing herself over to karma once more. She avoided the bullet, and she took this to mean that she wasn't beyond saving. She took up her old beliefs regarding karma and decided to start anew.

Now, she has reconnected with the positive aspects of her personality. While her possessiveness over Ormr remains, she has returned to her kindhearted, selfless, and gentle self. She has grown better at self-preservation and self-awareness and makes conscious efforts to keep herself balanced.

## Biography

Vivian was raised in the Nether, Lalaca specifically. She lived there for twenty two years. At some point, she met Sadie Sciuridae whilst Sadie was on her travels. She heard from Sadie the wonders of the outside world, and it captured her interest. Vivian had always been called too softhearted for the Nether, and a place where she could be herself and live life without constant strife sounded beyond her wildest dreams. Even when Sadie moved on, Vivian made an effort to remain in communication through letters.

Eventually, she managed to save up enough money to find a guide that would help her escape the Nether. She arrived in Taraxacum and spent time trying to figure out Earth's customs. Immediately, she took to the new realm, cherishing in its beauty and serenity. When Sadie passed, she took the role as Taraxacum's president for a time. She was displayed growing gradually more power hungry over the village, a hint of her obsessive nature that would soon rule her.

She grew close with Niloago (another Nether native). When she discovered his life force imbalance, she set her mind on helping him and fixing his health troubles. In pursuit of this goal, she summoned Ormr Keres. He threatened her life. Should Josie Roka not have interrupted, it's likely Vivian would have been severely injured in her first interaction with him.

Ormr returned to Taraxacum to apologize shortly after their interaction. Despite Niloago's warnings and wariness, Vivian began growing close with the snake demon. They bonded over their unique facial features and love for baked goods. Eventually, she moved into Alrasid with Ormr when Taraxacum grew too dangerous due to demon hunter activities.
