Basic Info

At first glance, Vivienne seems perfectly pampered. She lives in a nice house with her genius dad, and is far more talented than most people her age. But in reality, her life is quite stressful. For the most part, she's locked up in her house—as her father rarely goes out—and he insists on homeschooling her for a grueling amount of hours. Initially, the only extracirricular activities she did with outside forces were learning violin, cello, and piano, but once more, it was only out of her father's insistence she should play. Having her dad be her teacher is a constant burden, given how judgmental and socially awkward he is, and she's slowly growing to resent him. The fact that he keeps mentioning her weight certainly isn't helping. He tends to catch himself and play it off as a joke, but she knows deep down, he's judging her.

In a world where he had Vivienne out of love, his heart is in the right place; he's just a bad father.

In a world where he birthed her only to steal her body, he's far less kind, and more blunt with his insistence that she must do what he orders her to do. Either the body-hopping failed and he resents her, or he's first 'training her up' for himself, before he makes the leap.

• She's rather lonely, given she never had the chance to make any friends.
• Whenever her dad goes out, she insists on joining, as she hates being cooped up in the house and wants to explore.
• Despite how stressed he makes her, Vivienne does still like cuddling with her dad when he asks. She also likes it because it's one of the only times she can be with her dad that isn't a teaching lesson.
• Eventually, she probably convinces her dad to let her do some activities she wants to do. He'll let her play one sport, and she chooses softball.
• Until she was 8, she never ate sweets, due to Zane insinuating that if they killed other animals, they could kill her too.

Trivia

• Her name (Vivienne Gilda) means "Lively Sacrifice," based off of my original reason Zane would have a child.
• Despite her dad forcing the topic upon her, Vivienne truly does enjoy Biology as a subject, given she loves animals. She doesn't enjoy hands on dissection, but she does like looking at diagrams of animal skeletons/muscles.
• Zane lets her have as many pets as she'd like, so she has tons of them, and she loves them all very much. Her and her dad often bond over them, as Zane likes spouting off all sorts of animal facts while she plays with them.
• Lizards, snakes, hamsters, cats, dogs, an iguana... She'd like to get chickens and a horse someday. Zane's thinking about getting a goat.
• Her love of rhythm games is also due to her father, as it's one of the few things actually "fun" he does, and she'll latch onto anything "fun" in her otherwise closed off life.
• She was able to convince Zane to buy Dance, Dance Revolution, and she loves playing that too, but is sad that Zane rarely plays along with her. Too tiring.
• Vivienne absolutely loathes having meals with Zane, because it's usually incredibly awkward (it's either too quiet, or the conversations are forced). Thankfully, he often ends up going into another room to eat, leaving her alone and at ease.
• Zane tends to offer family dinnertime out of guilt for not spending enough time with her outside of lessons, so it's a shame his daughter secretly hates it.
• She may help Zane out of a depressed rut at some point, and if she does, he'll likely be more lenient with her for a bit, asking for more input on what she wants to do. This may have been how she was able to play softball.
  • If she does play softball, Zane will attend every game, albeit, potentially begrudgingly.
