[b]Personal Artifacts[/b] [i]Spiral Hairpin[/i] A hairpin with a metal clip and a small stone carving mounted to it. The carving is made of carefully selected and shaped black and white rock, forming a spiral pattern akin to a Poliwag's. Because of the care that went into it's creation, it is somewhat valuable despite it's common materials. It was comissioned for her by her family as a present on her twenty-first birthday, the year after she had befriended Poliwag. Vivian considers this one of her most treasured possessions. Due to it's light weight and nature as a hair pin, it could have easily been lost throughout the day. It was last seen several days after her recruitment and departure from Floaroma Town, when she put it on before breaking camp in the morning. When they later set camp again for the night after the days events and travel, it had gone missing. [i]Patchwork Pair of Fluffy Socks[/i] Vivian's favorite pair of particularly fluffy wool socks, which have been patched up countless times. Too sentimental to get rid of her favorite socks, Vivian instead continued to patch them over the years. As a result, they have so many patches it's impossible to tell what parts are the original sock. It's possible none of it remains at this point. Because they wore out unevenly, the socks don't match any longer. She only wears these when it is particularly cold, otherwise keeping them safely tucked away in her pack. They were most likely taken by a thieving animal or pokemon in the night as nest materials, and have yet to be noticed as missing. [b]Fears[/b] Death or harm coming to her family and friends, demons, spiders, and demon spiders. [b]Dreams[/b] Becoming a famous and beloved bard, traveling far and wide. [b]History[/b] Born and raised in Floaroma Town in Olivine Kingdom, Vivian was the third and youngest child in her family. Her parents were themselves Bards, a longstanding family profession. Thus she grew up among music and minor arts of magic, along with her older sisters. Her instrument of choice would be the tambourine, and she became quite skilled with it. When she was deemed old enough she was trained in the subtle ways of magic that bards make use of, taught to dance, and even learned how to make use of knives. Naturally growing up she heard many tales, and learned to be quite the story teller herself. Of these stories she found her favorites to be ones of travel, discovery, and adventure. She had those she liked less as well, often dealing with demons and other such horrors. These her older sisters would occasionally tease her with, even to the present day. Otherwise, her upbringing was a fairly safe one that involved doing as she wished when she wasn't practicing or performing. That is, barring the odd accident during practice every now and then. One such accident resulted in the scar across her lip, as a result of a foolish attempt at catching a knife with her teeth. During her twentieth year, she began to notice a Poliwag watching her perform. Any time she tried to approach it, however, it would quickly hop away and seemingly disappear. After some time of this it eventually let her approach, and Vivian discerned that the Poliwag was interested in the bardic performances. She offered to let it join her, and they became fast friends as it performed alongside her using it's ability to create water and hop. It was while practicing an act with knives that they both received their distinguishing scars, and determined that water and knife-juggling didn't belong in the same act. Two years later, a visiting Warden would see one of Vivian's performances and be impressed with their talent. They revealed they were well aware of her family, and it came out that her parents used to work in a much more dangerous form of the bardic profession in their youth. While the Warden had intended to recruit one of her parents, she objected due to their age. Her older sisters would also be valid recruits, but she objected again due to them already having children of their own. She instead volunteered herself, both to keep her family out of danger and because it served as good a reason as any to begin traveling. Her family had objections in turn, mostly regarding her naive nature, but she ended such arguments by pointing out there were fewer held as more trustworthy and reliable than the Wardens.

Thanks to her long arms and legs, she appears lanky despite her short height. As a lean woman she isn't particularly voluptuous, but an attractive young woman all the same. Naturally fair skinned, many a day spent performing out in the sun has given her a light tan. She keeps her chestnut brown hair in a fluffy, wild bob cut. Her eyebrows are thick and softly curved, hanging over her round hazel eyes. She has a round face thanks to prominent cheeks, slender jawline, slight chin, and button nose. There is a small vertical scar across her lower lip, the result of a training accident. Her right earlobe is missing a triangular wedge from it, also from a training accident.

It has two large, round black eyes. Below it's tiny pink mouth is a white circle across it's stomach, with a black spiral pattern. The wide, tear-drop shaped fin of it's tail is white, and the rest of it's body is blue. It's stubby, narrow feet are poor for walking on land, so it mostly hops. During acts, it often has small bells secured to it's tail. Poliwag is missing a small wedge from the side of it's tail fin as a result of the same accident that injured Vivian's ear. [/hider]
