Vivian is a cruel, sadistic warden who likes to toy with her prisoners and put them out on display as circus acts. The Dark Woods Circus is structured where the surface has the circus fully running while the prison itself runs deep underground connected to a long set of stairs and an elevator. The roster for who is sent up to perform changes up every week usually depending on Vivian's whims.She runs a tight ship, always keeping a close eye over every aspect of her facilities, usually through her subordinates.

The prision, while offically registered as one with fully working facilities, is just an convenient place for all the local mobsters, politicians, and other powerful figures to send away people they couldn't finish themselves for a whatever reason. Vivian will take in the future prisoner along with a 'generous donation'.
