## Backstory

### Early Life

Born as an illegitimate child of Nagahiro Mirazha, to a woman named Evelyn Tsukasa, Vivien was brought up in the ancient Mirazha Clan. As their mother died shortly after labour, Vivien was raised by their father. Their relationship throughout Vivien's childhood was mixed, and although they disliked him, Vivien never really *hated* their father.

They discovered their Soul Magic abilities at a young age, and well into their teens, Vivien was considered very powerful, so much so that their father saw their as a threat to his throne. By the time they were 19, Nagahiro attempted to murder Vivien out of his own fear and greed. Vivien caught him, attracting the attention of the clan's royal guards. Nagahiro found a way to turn the tables to make it appear as if Vivien was trying to kill him. During their fight, Nagahiro burnt Vivien's palms, leaving them scarred.

The trick worked, and Vivien was taken away to be executed publicly.

### Moving to the Darkshade Clan

Just days before their execution, Vivien escaped the Mirazha Clan. After days of wandering, they came across the newly formed Darkshade Clan. Starving, and exhausted, they went to the clan's gates and surprisingly, was let in by the clan's leader, Ascelin. they were given food and a place to stay, and soon joined the clan. Unknown to Vivien, Ascelin cared more about their than he cared about anyone else, even his own wife, Acantha at the time.

A few weeks later, him and Vivien hooked up after Ascelin became drunk. Soon after this, Ascelin discovered that his wife cheated on him with Ascelin's advisor. Ascelin would get Vivien to kill Acantha, which Vivien did successfully with no mercy.

### Attack on the Collett Clan, Befriending Fury

Shortly after, Ascelin launched an attack on the rival Collett Clan, after learning that his sister, Furyama had joined them and fallen in love with their recently appointed leader, Akuno Collett. The attack came to an end when Fury was kidnapped by Ascelin, greatly angering Akuno.

In secret, Vivien visited Fury in the clan's dungeon. They released her, letting Fury return to the Collett Clan. Vivien acted none the wiser to their escape.

### Marriage to Ascelin Darkshade

A while later, Ascelin would arrange himself to be remarried with Vivien. Shocked, and overjoyed, Vivien happily went along with it, changing their surname to Darkshade. They became the stepmother of Ascelin's two kids, Luciana and Icarus. It took some time for Vivien to adjust themself with their hate for children but managed to tolerate them with some help from Ascelin.

Some thirty years later, at 56, Ascelin was assassinated. Vivien, (who was 57 by this time), heartbroken, went into hiding under under the alias of 'Fuyume Hikeru'. they remained in the Darkshade Clan, continuing to practice their magic.

### In Hiding

Still part of the Darkshade Clan, Vivien had grown bitter of what the clan had become, wanting it to be restored to it's original glory from the time they first joined the clan.

Unknown to their, Ascelin was resurrected, in c. 1936. They never attempted to resurrect him themselves, out of respect, and to not risk Ascelin being irreversibly damaged by the resurrection spell.

At some point during their time alone, Vivien came close to becoming corrupt, eventually overcoming it.

### Taking in Dakari

Many years later, in 2003, Vivien found a young 6 year old boy sitting in the street, alone. As anyone (in their opinion at least) would, Vivien went up to the boy. They found that his parents had gone missing, and after spending the rest of the day of searching for them, decided to take the boy in until his parents were found. The boy introduced himself as Dakari, and quickly became attached to Vivien.

Vivien, despising children, continued the search for Dakari's parents, ultimately coming to the conclusion that they had died. With little ottheir choice, Vivien adopted Dakari, raising him as their own child - something Vivien never thought they would ever do.

### Ascelin's Return

By around 2011, Vivien learned of his re-emergence, as well as Ascelin's offspring to various women. Extremely angered and heartbroken by this, they went looking for Ascelin, and upon finding him almost died from their anger.

After a very heated argument with Ascelin, Vivien found themselves being pushed away by Ascelin (who had shattered his soul) on several occasions, and no matter how much they fought back, it didn't help one bit.

## Personality

At a young age, Vivien was very distrusting of others, to the point they hated almost everyone in their clan. Vivien's personality changed drastically through the years, though they always had a serious demeanor and a low tolerance for the incompetence of others. They tended to be a lot quieter in their younger years, becoming louder and more willing to voice their opinions without filtering them. Vivien has a short fuse and is prone to snapping easily. Vivien is often stubborn, but with some convincing is willing to change their mind, depending on the subject. They did have a shyer side, as Vivien had not truly experienced love for anyone. While they could look seemingly composed, Vivien tended to panic internally when they was first in love with Ascelin.

Vivien always had a passion for magic, being adept at soul magic from a young age. Earning themselves the title of a child prodigy in the Mirazha Clan, it was all Vivien liked about their clan. For some time, Vivien did battle a corruption in their several years they spent alone, due to their poor mental state compared to their significant amount of power, but was able to eventually conquer it.

Vivien initially hated kids, driven by their dislike of their younger cousins, so much that they refused to bare any children of their own. This would change after adopting Dakari, as they would learn how to parent and to (eventually) love kids.

## Appearance

Vivien is of very above average height, with a slim, but well defined build. They have shoulder-length dark brown hair and piercing green eyes. their hands (mostly on their palms) are scarred after fighting their father.

As they excessively used magic over the years, they became much thinner as a result of losing a lot of weight, if not dangerously so, but did not lose an inch off their staggering height. their skin began to wrinkle and become paler, and their hair began to grey. Eventually, their hair fell out, since then, Vivien wears a dark brown wig.

In their younger years, Vivien often wore long, flowy but sleeveless kimono dresses in a variety of styles. After Ascelin's death, they wore mostly black black dresses, which gradually became simpler in style as time progressed. From the age of 19, Vivien wore long arm-length gloves, initially meant to protect their scarred hands, afterward more to hide their scars and compliment their dresses. They never take their gloves off in public.

## Trivia

* Aniaavese are known for their feistiness, and are prone to a condition that when angered, their blood will literally boil and evaporate away. Due to the dangers of high body temperature and the loss of blood, the condition can be fatal if said Aniaavese isn't calmed down and/or treated.
