Background / History

Vivienne is the third young lady of House Devirak. As a child in Holy White City, she regularly escaped the family estate to share stolen food with hungry neighborhood children, confront bullies, and intervene in street disputes. Her earliest attempt to protect others was reckless and ended in her being beaten until a city patrol knight intervened. 224

Inspired by the patrol knight, Vivienne resolved to become a knight rather than accept the noblewoman’s life planned by her parents: etiquette lessons, a politically suitable marriage, and obedience to House Devirak. She secretly watched knight training, memorized their oath, and gradually learned to identify local thieves, dangerous alleys, and repeat troublemakers. 224

At age twelve, she met Grant of the White Owl Iron Guard while pursuing a thief. When Grant asked why she wanted to become a knight, Vivienne answered that knights could handle “the things no one else handles.” Grant became her first formal swordsmanship mentor and later sought permission from House Devirak to accept her as an apprentice. 224

At thirteen, Vivienne’s father finally allowed her to pursue knighthood after she insisted that even pain, failure, or death would be preferable to a life chosen entirely by others. 224

Appearance

Vivienne carries the imposing presence of a heavily armored frontline knight. She is typically seen in silver-white armor with a broad-bladed holy sword; outside battle, she wears a dark military coat or a black fur-collared cloak. 50 67 128

• Short brown hair, sometimes damp from melted snow. 67
• Cold, hard features and sharp eyes. 67
• Heavy silver-white armor and a broad-bladed holy sword. 50 222
• Her armor and physical presence are intimidating enough that nearby knights routinely clear space for her to fight. 50

Personality

Vivienne is disciplined, incisive, and intensely pragmatic. At Grey Dove Monastery, she rapidly assesses the destruction, interrogates survivors, identifies the likely escape routes, and divides her forces to pursue the fugitives. She can motivate exhausted troops with concrete rewards, but she also uses fear and authority without hesitation when questioning subordinates. 47

Her loyalty to the Royal Capital and the Holy Court’s order often outweighs individual compassion. She treats Luo Jiuge as a valuable prisoner rather than an equal, openly stating that Luo’s survival depends on her usefulness. 117 219 However, her conduct is not wholly indifferent: she personally rushed to the mine when Luo was trapped, has repeatedly trained her in sparring, and kept Kaka after the orphaned creature attached itself to her. 116 128 217

Vivienne strongly condemns reckless self-sacrifice. Luo’s willingness to rush into danger to save others reminds Vivienne of someone from her past whom she “really hate[s],” making their ideological conflict personal. 223

Abilities & Skills

Holy and Elemental Swordsmanship

Vivienne is a Holy-affinity knight with secondary elemental Fire and Lightning affinities. Her exact attributes cannot be assessed by Luo Jiuge’s inspection function, which instead rates her as “Extremely Dangerous.” 50

• Uses a broad-bladed holy sword with disciplined, forceful technique. 50 223
• Maintains steady elemental output while controlling the pace of battle, contrasting with Luo Jiuge’s burst-heavy and inefficient style. 50
• Can defeat a shackled Luo Jiuge in close combat without drawing her sword. 117
• Her month of sparring with Luo allows Luo to learn some of Vivienne’s habitual counters and sword rhythm, though Vivienne remains decisively superior. 221 223

Flame Blade

Vivienne enchants her sword with dark-red fire, creating explosive impacts on contact. 50

• Forces opponents back through heat and explosive force. 50
• Can be used in sustained sword exchanges without visibly exhausting her. 50

Thunder Verdict

Vivienne changes her sword’s enchantment from fire to lightning. 50 222

• Produces rapid lightning attacks that are difficult to react to. 223
• Can shatter magical defenses and numb an opponent through their weapon. 50 223

Flame-Thunder Resonance

Vivienne combines fire and lightning into a composite enchantment. 223

• Overwhelmed Luo Jiuge’s Holy Radiance defense and sent her flying. 223
• Demonstrates that Vivienne withheld major skills during her earlier sparring sessions with Luo. 222

Command and Investigation

Vivienne is an effective field commander and investigator.

• Reconstructed Grey Dove Monastery’s collapse from survivor testimony and evidence. 47
• Organized separate pursuit squads for the Corpse Transport Road, old bridge, northern slope, and her own command route. 47
• Conducted restrained but persistent interrogations of Luo Jiuge, distinguishing unproven suspicions from confirmed evidence. 67 68
• Anticipated Luo’s prison escape and waited alone at the camp perimeter rather than immediately summoning guards. 222

Equipment / Mount

• Broad-bladed holy sword — primary weapon; channel for her fire and lightning enchantments. 50 222
• Silver-white armor — standard combat equipment. 50 222
• Hunter’s Bone Whistle — confiscated from Luo Jiuge and used as the stake in their escape-day duel. 222
• Beo — loyal Snow Monster mount used during the pursuit from Grey Dove Monastery. 47 50

Relationships

• Luo Jiuge — prisoner, ideological rival, and eventual sparring partner. Vivienne captures her after Grey Dove Monastery, interrogates and sentences her, then repeatedly trains against her in the mine camp. 50 67 117 128 222
• Kaka — a monkey-like creature Vivienne kept after it was orphaned and learned to call her “Milady.” She disciplines Kaka but allows it to remain with the camp. 67 217
• Grant — White Owl Iron Guard who became Vivienne’s first serious mentor and petitioned to take her as an apprentice. 224
• Beo — Snow Monster mount and familiar companion during the monastery pursuit. 47 50
• House Devirak — her noble family. Her parents initially opposed her becoming a knight; her father ultimately allowed her to choose the path. 224
• Hewin Hartmann — Northern Witch Hunter whose escape from Grey Dove Monastery becomes Vivienne’s initial pursuit objective. 47 50

Story Role / Major Arcs

Grey Dove Monastery Investigation

Vivienne arrives after the monastery’s collapse and discovers the presumed death of the Silver Robe Inquisitor, the theft of the Moon-Crown Lock, and the looting of a core warehouse. She concludes that the attack was organized rather than an ordinary heretic assault and leads the pursuit into the snowy forest. 47

Duel and Capture of Luo Jiuge

After intercepting Luo Jiuge, Vivienne investigates her connection to Hewin’s escape. Instead of immediately arresting her, Vivienne offers a direct duel and overwhelms Luo through superior strength, elemental techniques, and endurance before knocking her unconscious. 49 50

Interrogation and Penal Labor

Vivienne stops Kaka’s improper interrogation, inventories Luo’s belongings, and determines that Luo cannot be directly tied to the Moon-Crown Lock’s theft. She nevertheless treats Luo’s infiltration as a crime and assigns her to Froststone penal labor under Pursuit Binding shackles. 67 68

Mine-Camp Conflict and Sparring

When Luo re-enters a collapsing mine to rescue another prisoner, Vivienne rushes to the scene because the Royal Capital ordered Luo kept alive. Their confrontation exposes their opposing beliefs: Vivienne prioritizes political necessity and orders, while Luo insists that every life has value. 116 117

Vivienne later accepts Luo’s repeated provocations and spars with her after mining shifts. Though she defeats Luo with ease, she permits the training to continue after recognizing Luo’s persistence and improvement. 128 217

Escape-Day Duel

Ordered to transfer Luo to Holy White City and the Holy Court, Vivienne accepts the command despite their month of familiarity. She refuses Luo’s final training request, warning that Luo has been tolerated only while useful. 218 219

After Luo escapes her shackles, Vivienne waits alone with the Hunter’s Bone Whistle and challenges her to reclaim it by force. Luo’s improved strength lets her counter some familiar movements, but Vivienne reveals the elemental skills she had withheld and decisively defeats her with Flame-Thunder Resonance. 221 222 223
