Vyvian Addington is a law student who dreams of being an artist. To the detriment of their grades, they frequently turn in artworks rather than essays for their assignments. The Jolly Good Person is their old college friend. A member of the Noble Gases Club in London, they have been granted The Order of The Exemplars of Relatively Blameless Behavior.

## Physical appearance

### Male Vyv

He is a young man with romantically tousled dark brown hair and cinnamon eyes with longish lashes. He wears rimless eyeglasses.

In Chapter 6, he is wearing a pinstriped, wine-colored, double-breasted suit, festooned with mother-of-pearl buttons, sporting peaked lapels. He wears a scarlet and canary yellow paisley tie.

### Female Vyv

She is a young woman with dramatically cut dark brown hair and cinnamon eyes with long lashes. She wears slightly cat-eyed silver eyeglasses.

In Chapter 6, she is wearing a light, swishy, wine-colored dress with a deep V-neckline, with mother-of-pearl buttons on the front, and ribbon bows tied on the short cuffs. Much of Vyv's upper arms are fashionably visible through the keyhole embellishments on the sleeve.

## Education

### Law School

Vyv attends law school, which they greatly dislike and avoided for as long as possible by taking a grand tour around Europe, visiting museums and galleries. They do so because the terms of his inheritance from their grandfather state quite clearly that they can only inherit after passing the bar exam. In the meantime, they get an allowance from their father, who Vyv says is very stingy.

## Cakes And Ale

If the Jolly Good Person ducks into the lecture hall to escape their creditors, they will encounter Vyv there. Failing that, the two will find each other at the Noble Gases club house.

## Relationships

### Fitzie

Fitzie will mention that they like Vyv, noting that they bring a certain daily beauty into the clubhouse, as well as a sort of cleanliness that others do not tend towards. For instance, Vyv often uses coasters to avoid rings on the wooden tables, or refraining from throwing mashed potatoes.

They will note that they don't think Vyv understands how far away to stand from people as Vyv tends to stay very close. Once Fitzie tried to explain, and Vyv wanted them to name a number of inches, which Fitzie found charming.

### Jolly Good Person

The Jolly Good Person met Vyv at university, but the player can decide how the details of their relationship.

#### Defeated Vyv's team on the cricket field

Vyv had decided to play and join the match, which had surprised everyone at the time. During the game, Vyv clutched at their lower back and cried out "My back, my back!" before being hauled off in a stretcher. Vyv says it was one of the most embarrassing moments of their life. On the bright-side, it convinced their parents that the sporting life was not for them.

#### Helped Vyv cheat on the Classics examination

The Jolly Good Person managed to steal the questions beforehand for the essay on *The Odyssey* and, together with Vyv, attempted to look for the correct answers in their notes. Vyv says that they would have failed Classics had it not been for this and that it has helped get where there are today.

#### Had a passionate love affair

This took place after the Festive Ball in the last month of university. Vyv notes that the Jolly Good Person never came to say goodbye.

#### Nearly fell in love at the Festive Ball

The Jolly Good Person and Vyv danced together under the stars on the balcony. Although they didn't manage to confess their love, they kissed. What followed is up to the player. The Jolly Good Person was either mocked for being seen with Vyv and so they sent a letter explaining it had been a mistake; or they realised they would never work as a couple; or the Jolly Good Person was kicked out of university after being wrongfully accused of stealing the marmalade and so was unable to see Vyv again.
