**Vivian** is a member of the **Mikaelson Family**, **Gilbert Family**, **Cortes Family**, and **Garcia Family**. Through her marriage she is a member of the **Moonlight Family**. She has ties to the **Salvatore Family**, **Petrova Family**, **Claire Family**, **Lescheres Family**, and **Labonair Family**. She is also a member of a powerful **unnamed family of witches** and by birthright a member of the **Eclipse Coven** and **Eternity Coven**. By marriage she is apart of the **Moonlight Coven**. She is one of the few children fathered by an Original Vampire.

## Powers and Abilities

As the world's second naturally born vampire-witch hybrid; the full extent and limits of Vivian's powers are currently unknown.

* Witch Nature
* Vampire Nature

Viv is a witch-hybrid, having inherited her witch gene from her mother, daughter of Helena Garcia, and father, the son of Esther Mikaelson. According to Dahlia, as a firstborn of their bloodline, Viv has inherited great, but devastating power.

Years later, Viv has improved control over her magic as a teenager; however, such control is lost during bursts of anger. Conversely, she's headstrong and strong-willed. Viv is also shown skill in creating her own spells.

Two years later, her magic seems to have become more stabilized and in her own control. Viv has seemingly mastered a vast array of spells and rituals that allow her to overpower and destroy all different kinds of supernatural creatures.

Before becoming an activated heretic, Viv possessed a few vampiric traits, specifically her blood. Her blood was able heal herself, such as when she sliced open her hand. Her blood can be used to sire new vampires. After completing her transition, Viv was still able to practice magic.

Viv now is truly immortal and can only be killed by a scarlet oak stake from the Scarlet Oak Tree. She showed great proficiency in utilizing her vampire powers. She showed the ability to compel fellow vampires. Previously, this has only been possible by an Original vampire.
## Weaknesses

According to Dahlia, firstborns of her family's bloodline inherit great power; however, it is unstable and will damage and, ultimately, kill the witch if they are not taught to contain it.

As the world's second naturally born vampire-witch hybrid, the full extent and limits of Viv's weaknesses are currently unknown.

Emmett claimed that Marcel's advanced werewolf venom can take down a hybrid, an Original, and *even* Hope Mikaelson and her family. However, he gave no evidence as to why it would or could be lethal to her, nor has this been proven to be true.
