|Name|
Vivienne Leah Zimmerman
That's quite a mouthful haha.

|Age|
14-18
Those are pretty good ages.

|Plot|
Vivienne lives in an alternate version of Earth called Orenda— a modernized world where magical species live. It has a lot of similarities to earth (i.e. same names of states/countries, similar social issues, etc.), whereas some changes (an airway— a highway for beings who can fly, minor changes in what company names are, etc.). Vivi becomes a close friend to Adette at Wi. Ambrose. She comes from a family of clairvoyants, and is attending the school to control her visions more. Before meeting Addette, a few years ago she predicted meeting the other girl and the human boy— hence when she met Adette she knew whatever her foretelling, it was coming true soon.

There may be a love triangle between the three characters, but I feel it will be short passing. Anyways, Vivienne will be a useful help and support in the story with her own complicated character.
I'm completely down for love triangles, but most people can find them quite annoying, so I'm glad it might be a fleeting sort of love triangle. Interesting fantasy world by the way! Most people change the entire world so I'm excited to see you haven't.

|Race|
American, Clairvoyant

|Background|
Vivienne grew up in a slightly more stressful way than her friend, Adette. As a child and being able to see the future put a lot of strain on her growing up— especially not being able to control what she saw. Her visions often ranged from small (someone dropping a coffee mug on the floor, what mail was coming that day, etc.) or significant (An unknown person committing suicide, a magical tragedy, etc.). Her parents struggled to help her through what was going on because they were uncertain in regards to what was happening

Her mother, a clairomance — someone who had the gift of extrasensory perception where users could sense events from the past, present, or future, without them being relative to them, married her father, who has the ability to enhance other people's powers. This lead to them not being able to assist their daughter through anything, really. Thankfully, she was chosen to attend the Academy and her parents, though loving her unconditionally, hope she can get the help she couldn't get at home at the school.
Interesting powers! Not really the common stuff!

|Sexuality|
Bisexual

|S/O|
Leaving it up to the plot as well ;)
;)))

|Appearance|
Vivi has a triangular-shaped face with hooded, muddy hazel eyes— shielded by thick glasses. Her eyebrows, a neutral brown hue, are thicker with slight arch, giving her a more brooding appearance. People are often times frightened off by her intimidating appearance alone. Her classically large roman nose adds to her sharper features as well. Her lips are a beige-ish rose color with the bottom lip slightly more large and protruding than her top lip. Her hair is a mousy brown, and extremely curly to the point where it looks permed. To manage it better, she often has it in a shorter above-the-shoulder style.

Vivi has broad shoulders, despite being twiggy. This gives her an inverted triangle body shape. And unlike Adette, she has little sense of fashion and tends to wear a lot of overalls, and less attractive clothing. On top of that, she is taller than 60% of the people in her age group growing up and will eventually end up being decently average height at 5'5"
I LOVE BIG NOSES FRIIIICKKK. Also, I think it's quite humorous that she has little sense of style.

|Distinguishing Features|
•Thick glasses - without them she wouldn't be able to see anything. Though there are other treatments and prescriptions for her eyes, Vivi is set on keeping her glasses. She finds all the other ways 'unnatural'.
ME.
•Height - normally she is taller, almost towering, over the people in the school.
•Large nose - It is a minor insecurity of hers, and when she has time to worry about her appearance it always comes down the her big nose.

|Habits/quirks|
•Squinting - because of her horrid eyesight, Vivi developed the habit of squinting— and she still does it when she has her glasses on.
I actually have a friend exactly like this and she is the most hilarious person ever.
•Snorts when laughing - it isn't an unattractive snort, though. It's unusually cute.
I snort when I laugh sometimes and oh my goodness it's so embarrassing.
•Afraid of pigeons - when she was little she witnessed children her age getting food, and then an unbelievable amount of pigeons 'attacking' them for their food. Ever since that happened she was terrified of them.
This would be me. I hope it can connect to the story somehow though.

|Self-confidence level|
75%

With her minor insecurities, and issues with her powers Vivi's confidence is lowered, however she tends to be rather confident in herself. However, she also tends to be extremely humble about everything, too.

|Logic or Emotion|
55% logic, 45% emotion

|Introvert, Extrovert, Ambivert|
Introvert

Vivi is a little more closed off than Adette, and the two of them get along fairly well because of how their introversion varies. Vivi is more stereotypical and is a shyer type of introvert than Adette.
Ah ok.

|Strengths|
•Intelligent - Vivi tends to be level-headed and down to earth when it comes to everything. She is extremely smart and tends to carry a lot of potential within herself.
•Authentic - Everything Vivi does tends to be truest to herself and her own beliefs. You can never expect this girl to be anything but real.
I LOVE THIS.
•Conscious - Following her intelligence is her ability to think everything through, and be aware of everything around her before doing anything.
•Supportive - The clairvoyant tends to know how to support everyone and their needs extremely well. She would never doubt someone or underestimate the people around her.

|Weaknesses|
•Messy - Vivi is awful at keeping spaces organized and neat. It is hard for her to be motivated to clean things and stay tidy— no matter how hard she tries.
•Thin skin - She struggles with taking criticism, and takes anything harsher than usual to heart, despite hiding it most of the time.
•Moody - Her negative temperaments shift easily, and that may have been what drew Adette in so quickly. 
•Submissive - At times it is challenging for Vivi to take a stand. Since she is on the shyer side she finds it challenging to assert herself at times.

Constructive Criticism: I actually really like her character and I don't have a lot to complain about. I think my only concern would be her 'stereotypical shyness' and how there a few quirks I have a hard time seeing connect to the plot. Adds to the character, yeah, but I just hope you can make it flow into the book naturally.

Intrigue: 88%
