Background / History

Early life and evolution

At age nineteen, Vivian was known in Tarot Villa as the active High Priestess. Although she appeared carefree and approachable, she had difficulty with effective communication outside discussions of magic and mana; before being transported to Karim, her parents had arranged psychological counseling for her. 94 115

Vivian created the World-class Magic Energy Fluid Fog City Magic and evolved from a human into a Phantom Mist Vampire. As the first of that race on Karim Continent, she was elevated further into a True Ancestor. 179

Brown City and the Vampire Alliance

After returning from dungeon exploration, Vivian operated from her Level 6 Gothic Castle Shelter in the mountains. She distributed Vampire Magic Energy Fluid to nearby survivors, creating a population of ten thousand vampires under her protection. Her quiet, awkward method of distribution was misread as regal aloofness, leading followers to treat her as a deity-like “Your Excellency.” 235

Sixteen victors from a contest among her followers became her household staff and administrators, including Lilith. Vivian assigned them practical posts such as butler, chef, gardener, groom, and city administrator. 236

She later used a massive auction bid—including ancient bloodline material and the commitments of seven vampire families—to secure a Regional Large-scale Protective Magic Array. This led to the formation of the Vampire Alliance, with Lester Giovanni and the Soul-Eating Vampire clan joining her at Emerald Ridge. 340 343

Captivity and return

During Vivian's prolonged absence, the Blood Red and Green-Winged Vampire clans attacked Brown Castle, causing severe losses. The weakened Vampire Alliance then fractured into internal conflict; only four major branches remained active in Emerald Ridge. 470 509

The Order eventually captured Vivian and bound her to a hexagonal altar with chains and hooks that drained her Magic Power. Alongside thirty other Long-lived Species, she was used as a living power source for a reduced Goddess Summoning Magic Array. 1048

Lan Qingyou's intervention gave Vivian an opening to regain her freedom. Once released, Vivian immediately declared that the Phantom Mist Vampires would settle their debt with The Order. 1050 1051

Afterward, she used mist-based abilities to evacuate hundreds of imprisoned Long-lived Species from laboratories and prisons during the fighting. She then returned to Emerald Ridge to restore order and prepare her people for the threat of the Star Beast. 1067 1074

Appearance

Vivian favors Gothic clothing and presents herself with a contrast between aristocratic vampire imagery and an informal, youthful demeanor. She was seen in a pristine white dress during an early dungeon return, and later changed into a black Gothic dress after regaining her freedom. 235 1067

• Can manifest fleshy wings for aerial combat. 368
• Her Gothic Castle and personal chair prominently feature a four-leaf clover motif. 234
• Her public image as an aloof “Vampire Queen” originated from her silent distribution of evolution fluid rather than deliberate performance. 235

Personality

Vivian is naturally a homebody who finds prolonged social contact tiring, yet she has grown comfortable among Tarot Villa's members and formed close friendships there. Her apparent coolness often comes from social awkwardness rather than arrogance. 234 235

She is competitive, mischievous, and easily drawn to exciting or dangerous opportunities, whether challenging Gu Xiaobei to a wrestling match, testing equipment in Mana Turbulence herself, or making an overwhelming auction bid. 279 340 667

As a leader, Vivian is pragmatic and protective. She pursues dungeon expansion, controls access to dangerous information, forms alliances for mutual defense, and seeks means to rebuild her weakened vampire population. 235 343 512

• Her imprisonment gave her years to refine this control. 1168

Mist and Illusion Magic

Phantom Mist Vampires specialize in illusion-oriented abilities.

• Can transform into mist and create dense fog. 1067
• Used fog as cover to rescue Long-lived Species from prisons and laboratories during battle. 1067

• Attempted to bait Lan Qingyou into revealing her trump card through a deceptive Magic Array feint, but was defeated when Lan Qingyou's Magic Eye saw through her plan. 369
• Fought The Order's forces after recovering her mana, matching Marshall's ceremonial weapon with her steel nails. 1051 1052

Vampire Research

Vivian has researched differences among vampire races and believes their traits depend on both the Ancient Bloodline used in their creation and the creator's “mental orientation.”

• Identified Soul-Eating Vampires as necromancy-oriented, contrasting them with illusion-focused Phantom Mist Vampires. 338
• Maintains a blood-related laboratory beneath Brown Castle. 509
• Proposed using werewolf corpses to investigate Demon Hunters' potential transformation into witches. 496

Trivia

• Vivian dislikes being called “Your Excellency,” believing the title makes her sound like a religious leader. 234
• Despite her intimidating public image, her followers' worship began largely because her social awkwardness made her silently distribute evolution fluid. 235
• She voluntarily tested the Mana Countermeasure Device by entering Mana Turbulence, despite Lilith and several Vampire Dukes opposing the risk. 667
