Viviane

Viviane was only one when she was given up for adoption, she has no memories of her real parents or even their names... only that her name is Viviane and that her parents were very beautiful. The orphanage took her in happily and cared for her like their own child, much like the others. It was a small orphanage but a family all the same. She always mentioned seeing colours and shapes around people but they just thought she had a bright imagination... other then those pointy elven ears of hers which were always a mystery. But in fact those shapes and colours were auras. Every person had a different and unique aura that nobody other then her could see.

Viviane grew to enjoy these auras very much, talking to people more who had colours and shapes she liked the most... but she always wondered why she did see these things and nobody else could. They showed emotion and what she felt was goodness in peoples souls; it even showed evil intentions to the bright young girl. Her gut feelings were trusted by everyone and she always managed to keep her brothers and sisters safe from harmful people and animals. She didn't learn till much later that she was actually half pixie... being magically inclined for spells and magic she did not understand, therefore she was able to see these auras but unable to do anything about them.

There was a dark mysterious man with an aura of pure black who came to visit one day. He was sweet and nice but Viviane never saw the black aura change, even when she was adopted by him. He didn't seem like the type of man to have children but she liked him and his odd aura and was excited to have a new home, dispite leaving the family she had loved; traveling was something she had always wanted to do at the age of eleven. His home was in the deep woods, somewhere where danger lurked and she was not allowed to go but his home was surrounded in beautiful flowers and made it welcoming to her.

Accepting this new fate, Viviane learned his true intentions... he wanted her to be his apprentice. She was elated, happy to feel loved by her new father and now master. They got very close in a very small amount of time, the two living happily in the woods as she cared for all these strange rare animals she had never seen before. The man was patient with her and he wrote down all future magics that she would be taught, just encase he went on a trip. The black aura slowly changed to a deep red over time, a colour that she would have originally thought to be bad, but for him it was soft and adoring.

By the time she was 24, her dad told her he had to leave. It was urgent but... not urgent enough. This was the day she learned that her master and father was a dark criminal... of what? She never knew. He protected the house in invisiblity as she watched him die to save her and the animals from harm. The soliders and bounty hunters searched for his house for years... but after his magic started to fade, she knew how to replicate it. The grief of losing him didn't hit her immediately but the animals crying for his love made her realise she never took advantage of her time with the only family she had; there was a part of her that knew he was still protecting Viviane... his magic. It came to her easier now that he had passed, but maybe it was just a fluke.

From here on Viviane spends her days deep in alchemy, making potions for weak travelers and collecting rare, valuable items like her father had. This became her home.
