Persona Profile: Vivvi (Inactive)

Writer: Bree

Name: Vivvi
Age: 54
Birthday: m1 d14
Rank: Hold Resident
Location: Amber Hills Hold

Physical Description of Persona:
Vivvi is of average height for a woman, with a solid build that has curves in all the right places. She could almost be described as voluptuous. Her hair is a dark black threaded with gray and it falls in waves down her back. She will normally wear it pulled back on the sides, but will occasionally tie it back at the nape of her neck if the job requires her to keep it out of the way. Her eyes are a bright blue surrounded by many laugh lines as she is seldom seen without a ready smile for those around her. Her face would be described as more handsome than pretty.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Vivvi has a very cheerful demeanor. She somehow manages to go through life as untouched by the tragedies around her as possible. This is not to say that she blithely ignores them either; she just tries to be the rock that others can lean on in times of stress and pain. She will hold herself together until she is alone before she will allow her pain and grief to show.

She can best be described as a very mothering type. Vivvi believes that she knows what is best for her family and those she cares for and isn't above using a healthy dose of guilt to get them to listen. Organized and meticulous are other words that describe her. Being very observant, it almost seems as if she has eyes in the back of her head, for not much goes on within the hold that she is not aware of.

History of Persona:
Vivvi was born the last of five children to the then Steward and Headwoman of ACH. When the plague hit the turn she was born, it wiped out all but her older sister, Siri, and her parents. However, the plague left her father severely weakened. Her father stayed on as the hold Steward until she was sixteen, when his infirmities forced him to retire and Alalir was promoted to the position.

Shortly after his retirement, her father's body finally gave out and he went to sleep one night never to wake up again. His death hit the small, closely-knit family hard, but her mother's quiet strength taught her how to deal with personal tragedy.

A few months later, Vivvi and Siri married a pair of brothers who were guardsmen. Vivvi began assisting her mother with her duties and within a turn of marrying, gave birth to a boy, Byrn. She quickly became the Assistant Headwoman while her sister happily settled in to the life of guardsman's wife and cared for young Byrn during the day while Vivvi was at work.

As the turns passed, Vivvi's husband, Byrnan, was promoted to the Captain of the guard. She had several miscarriages and one stillborn child before finally giving birth to a girl, Lissa. Her delivery was a difficult one and ended in a c-section. At the same time, the healers had to perform a hysterectomy as well.

Vivvi settled into a contented life with her job and family and many turns passed before she suffered a series of painful blows. First, her mother caught a fever and died. Vivvi was promptly promoted to the position her mother had held for so many turns. Shortly after her mother's death, her husband was killed when he was trying to round up a group of holdless thieves that had moved into the area. A turn later, her daughter took a tumble off a runner and hit her head. She remained unconscious for a couple of sevenday and it was feared she would die. However, Lissa suddenly woke and had almost no side affects other than some slight memory problems.

Both her son and daughter have married and given her six grandchildren between the two. Her sister's family and her own all remain quite close.
