Vivien facts!

Since I'm new to Tumblr, I figured that I would ramble off some fun facts about my beloved Vivien!

• Her star-kissed skin, star-filled eyes, slowly whitening hair and concentrated aether originate from a blessing that Menphina bestowed upon her family line hundreds of years ago. It is passed from mother to first daughter. The holder of this blessing eventually came to be known as the Moonmaiden and became influential within Keeper culture before disappearing 100 years ago.

• Vivien was born Pyra Mewrilah to her parents Rhea, the previous Maiden, and Koh'zi Mewrilah within the walls of Ishgard. Once the Halonic society learned of the fringe Keeper clan hiding within their walls, House Valentine was tasked with routing the heretics. Rhea and Koh'zi perished during this raid.

• Vivien was adopted by Aubin and Adelaide, patriarch and loving wife of House Valentine. She raised alongside her adopted sisters, Lucienne and Jeanne. She was shielded from the truth of her birth and told that her star skin was the result of childhood experiments.

• A natural insomniac as a Keeper of the Moon, Vivien is usually encountered late at night. Rumors whisper amongst Ishgard of a woman who shines like the night sky periodically wandering the streets; Vivien finds it quite amusing that sneaking out of the Valentine estate has garnered so much attention.

• She is a natural astrologion and easily surpassed her mentor as a young teenager. Unbeknownst to her, her birth mother was also an adept astrologion.

• The Maiden is truly a bookworm and often has several books in her travelling bag.

• During the Dragonsong War, she became acquainted with the inventor and owner of Walkerworks, Kaian Walker, also the Warrior of Light. She was forbidden by Aubin to get to know the hyur but fate pulled them together and they formed a romantic relationship. Vivien expected this to be brief but, once the war concluded, Kaian invited Vivien to join him on his travels.

• Kaian proposed to Vivien at the Sanctum of the Twelve in front of the marking of Menphina. They were wed there months later surrounded by loved ones.

• Vivien cannot harness her aether on the First due to its power stemming from Menphina's blessing. Due to this, she was essentially powerless until a Viera named Holly taught her how to dance. She was separated from Kaian for several months (or years, working on that) during this time and cut her hair short.

• She typically wears incredibly formal clothing consisting of frills, ruffles and lace, usually dyed the royal blue that represents House Valentine. Over time, though, she begins to show more and more skin. After her second blessing from Menphina (hehe), she is much more confident about her sparkling skin and wears more revealing clothes.

• She learned that her Ancient, Selene, was soulmates with Azem, Kaian's Ancient. Their meeting was fated to happen again as their past lives had promised to find one another again after the sundering.

• While the story is still getting ironed out as it contains time travel, Vivien and Kaian are loving parents to three children: Eulalie, Julien and Rosalie.

• The Moonmaiden blessing did not transfer to Vivien's daughters as they are half Hyur and the aether does not recognize them as Keepers.

Okay, this is incredibly long so I'll probably do more Viv facts soon! I particularly would love to share more about the lore I'm forming for her following the Twelve raid's conclusion. Only hint I'm giving is that Vivien gets to keep Dalamud, hee hee.
