    Appearance:
    Vivian has long, dark hair that naturally falls in waves to just below her bottom when left to nature. She usually has her hair done up proper unless she is going to bed or has just woken up. Her eyes are hazel and she is right handed. She stands taller than most woman at five feet, six inches and has a slim build. She dresses in the typical fashion of a middle class woman and tends to go for clothing that contain some sort of shade of lavender, her favorite color.
    History:
    1859: Vivian is born.
    1865: Vivian shows her first signs of magic.
    1870: Vivian goes off to Hogwarts and is promptly sorted into Gryffindor.
    1874: Vivian does her owls and gets decent marks. Over the summer, Vivians parents are killed in an accident. Unable to cope with the loss, she does not go back for her sixth year. She is sent to live with her uncle, her fathers brother and his family.
    1875: After completing her year of societal mourning for her parents, Vivian begins working as a governess for a family with twin children despite her young age and inexperience.
    1877: Vivian moves to Hogsmeade with the family that she is working for. Vivian is happy to learn that her family members have also decided to move to Hogsmeade.
    1879: Vivian is surprised when an acquintance that she had always secretly harbored feelings for requests her uncles permission to court her. This permission is granted and soon the courtship turns into an engagement.
    1880: Vivian marries her suitor. Of course, this means that she also has to say farewell to her beloved charges after five years of caring for them. She consoles herself with the fact that her time there would have ended anyway since the children were set to go to Hogwarts that year.
    1881: Alton is killed while on duty as an auror, leaving Vivian a widow. Due to infertility problems on Altons side, they never had children despite trying and wishing for it to happen.
    1884: Officially out of societal mourning for quite some time and finding herself in need of something useful to occupy her time and mind, Vivian applies for a governess post for a Mister Ferdinand Echelon-Arnost. She is pleased when she is hired, attributing this to the excellent references her previous employers provided. Currently, she is striving to bring father and daughter closer together.
