Vivian Estrella is one of the Underparty members in A Cry in the Dark and member of the Afterparty in The Psion's Night. She was an escaped slave of a traveling troupe, recruited by Him and trapped in the Underdark. After inadvertently helping in kickstarting the apocalypse, she's become a master pyromancer fighting as a part of The Arauymnauts with the hope to restore the world to what it once was.

## History

Born in the Iron Circle, Vivian was sold to a traveling band of bards at a very young age. During her time, though was taught the ways of bardic magic and a bit of wizardry she was abused by the other members, never given the same rights and often kept in chains. One night she was finally given the opportunity to escape, and took it immediately, never looking back. Currently she now explores the world and tries to better herself and others while also remaining hidden from the band of bards she used to know.

## Relationships

Vivian's youth as a slave has given her a very passive and anxious behavior, and tended to prefer staying close to those she trusts, having a difficult time getting acquainted with new people. The members of The Underparty became the closest thing to a real family she'd had in the time she'd spent with them, though unfortunately, over time she would eventually come to lose all of them. Gurk and Machi in particular seemed welcoming and sheltering to her, perhaps having the easiest time recognizing her anxieties and troubled past. Oesis also seemed to possess a protective nature of her, and tended to look out for her very frequently in combat.

Since becoming the last of the Arauymnauts, Vivian has become acquainted with Raz Rakoten Mauz, and eventually joined a new group of heroes known as The Afterparty. Compared to her peers, Vivian seems the least eccentric, though her growth in confidence has led to her being able to fight alongside them, possessing some of the most damaging and blazing magic amongst the group. While relationships are still developing, Kin Diety, seeming to share some connection to Oesis, also seems to faintly recognize Vivian in some way, leading to the two having a curious perspective of the other.

## Powers

For the events of A Cry in the Dark, Vivian possessed a basic usage of bardic magic due to her time spent in a traveling troupe. In particular, she seemed to gravitate towards fire magic, preferring to scorch attackers from a safe distance. However, Amoth's awakening and the beginning of The Psion's Night forced Vivian to improve and empower herself drastically in only a matter of years. Her pyromancy is now unrivaled, her flames capable of burning those resilient or even immune to fire as effectively as anyone else. These masterful flames can be controlled by Vivian with graceful precision, surround her and her allies for protection, and be blasted into foes like meteors. She also utilizes light based magic interwoven with her flames, capable of blinding and disorienting on top of burning those who get caught by her spells. Thanks to Vivian's ties to The Dream and Araumycos, she seems to possess a strange connection to fate, though what this could mean remains to be unseen.

## Trivia

* Vivian is the only character to be both a member of the Underparty and the Afterparty
* Vivian has the largest level boost of a player character between campaign appearances thus far. Interestingly, her boost in power had a much shorter timeframe than other characters, likely as a result of the dire requirement to grow stronger in the ever developing apocalypse.
