Vivica (character)

## Vivica

**Vivica** is an guitarist introduced in the third season of *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir*.

In "Desperada", after being fired by Jagged Stone for eating his breakfast, she is akumatized by Hawk Moth into **Desperada**, a musician-themed Supervillain.

## Appearance

### As Desperada

As Desperada she looks like a skeleton from the Day of the Dead festival with two musical notes that are on both sides of her cheek and has a star-shaped guitar case that she carries on her back.

## Abilities

### As Desperada

She can summon a variety of music-based weapons from her guitar case, transforming anyone who is hit by them into an imprint on the case. Her known weapons include:

* Trumpet: When she plays the trumpet it fires a blast of yellow energy that whenever it hit someone it'll transforms them into yellow dust.
* Guitar: She used a Guitar as a Medieval ax.
* Bicycle Horn: She used a pair of bicycle horns as pistols that also fired out yellow energy.
* Trombone: She used the trombone as a sniper rifle.

In addition to using these weapons, she's also able to concentrate on attacking multiple targets more than any other akumatized villains. However, she seems to concentrate more by someone strumming a stringed instrument, such as Viperion strumming his Lyre.

## Trivia

* Vivica is based on a real person of the same name. As the winner of a contest at the Miraculous Ladybug panel at Los Angeles Comic Con 2016, Vivica got to help create a future akumatized character during a visit at Zag Studios in Los Angeles.
	+ The real Vivica said she wanted to be a vet when she grew up, which is what inspired the character Vivica's job and akumatized form in early development, though it may have since changed.
* According to the whiteboard seen behind Jeremy Zag during the meeting for creating Vivica, Vivica might be a fan of Cat Noir and feels like he doesn't get enough attention.
	+ Based on the whiteboard, either Hawk Moth, who "knows Cat very well," might get jealous of Vivica or something else, or Vivica might become jealous and it leads to her akumatization.
* As of May 17, 2017, Vivica's episode has not been written; the French crew did not know about Vivica even being a character. Because Season 3 was almost completely written, it is possible that Vivica will not be seen until Season 4 at the earliest if she still appears. However, Vivica later manages to debut in Desperada.
	+ On June 3, 2018, Thomas Astruc noted that Vivica will still appear, but ideas from her development early on have changed.
* Vivica is the first character in the show to have braces.
