Personality

Vivant is a nice, calm relaxed person. She believes in treating everybody equal until that person has done something to bring them above or below her usual standards. She sees little point in the war effort and dislikes being called or bundled up with the Alliance. She is quite joyful, and empathetic, though if you annoy her she can be very bitter and cold. She likes a good balance of being able to tell people what to do, and being told what to do. Vivant likes to drink when she is free during the evenings, yet dislikes the effects of being drunk. She hates morning wake ups and acts very moody until she has had her black coffee and two sugars. Though initially dislikes undead, she respects those who have freed them selves for their sheer will power, and she will find it hard to have to fight for the Alliance in Andorhal. Vivant believes that the Forsaken have just as much right over Lordaeron as the Alliance, yet still, will fight to see those lands return to what they once were. She has no problems with warlocks, and doesn't think that they are all evil, she believes that their intentions are still good, and that is what counts. On a bad day, she is ruthless, cold, blunt and rather bitter in her speech, but she does not shout or get aggressive. She just does what she needs to do, however she can do it.

History

Vivant was born in Andorhal, and lived there with her family. She also had family in Southshore. She grew up in a rich background, this led her to always ask why she was treated differently than the common folk who had to work hard for what they wanted. As she grew up, she made friends with a few of the local farmer children. Her friends were mainly boys and she would play fight with them in the fields. Her father did not care about Vivant acting like a little boy more than a little girl, but her mother disliked it and always dressed Vivant like a girl. Her mother spent almost every night telling Vivant off for coming home covered in mud, or scratched and bruised.

When she hit eleven years old, she told her family that she wanted to become a Paladin. Her parent's sent Vivant and her little sister, Ethela, to live with their grand parents in Southshore, where they started to learn basic close-range combat. They visited their parents quite often, once every fortnight, and would generally stay with them for a period of two to three days before going back. Vivant came into conflict several times with a boy in Southshore who was older than her. He tried to steal her items, but every single time she would fight back. All of the other children were scared of him, where as Vivant had the courage to stand up to terror at a young age.

One day, a couple of months after Vivant's twelfth birthday, a messenger spoke of the fall of Andorhal. Vivant was devastated because her grand parent's had been in Andorhal that day. At that point, Vivant took Ethela and they traveled by them selves in a feeble attempt to reach the kingdom of Stormwind. In their travels they had to steal, beg, busk, work or do odd jobs to survive. At some points Vivant helped bandits raid passing travelers for a cut of the loot. She would often play the lost starving child, while the bandits jumped the caravans and killed the owners. Sometimes they would be honest and give her what she asked for, sometimes they would leave her with nothing. She made sure Ethela never found out. They rarely had a place to sleep so they slept under the stars, Ethela and Vivant imagined what was out there, weather the stars watched over them. They often fantasied that they were being watched over by the Light, and that one day every thing will go back to normal. They spent most of their travels in Arathi and the Wetlands, until they reached Menethil Harbour.

It was not until they reached Menethil that they had a proper rest. Vivant and Ethela stayed in Menethil Harbour, working on the docks. There they heard stories from passing travelers about far off places, they dreamed of going there of seeing the Night Elf lands and the parched wastelands of Kalimdor. They heard tales of pirates and dragons, and of war. When Vivant was sixteen, they set out again and headed to Ironforge. Ethela worked in a tavern serving drinks while Vivant was an apprentice blacksmith. It was in Ironforge that Vivant started reading again. She did not get the opportunity to do so since they began their travels, she had been to busy or never had a book in hand. Vivant spent a lot of time reading the history that the dwarves had discovered, and was fascinated by the theories and different opinions she had read about the origins. They stayed there for a couple of years until final gaining enough money to move to Stormwind. There they started a fresh.

The day that Vivant and Ethela finally reached Stormwind, they made a memorial for their family and prayed to the Light. They thanked the Light for guiding them to safety, to a place where they could start a fresh and begin making a name for them selves. Vivant sought to attune for her sins, and began training as a paladin, Ethela followed but for very different reasons. They both trained for hours and hours, sometimes even until they were sick from physical strain. After two years of training, Vivant began aiding people fight back local Defias thugs, murlocs and Gnolls for small fees. She also began to perfect her art of blacksmithing and specialized in making armor. She began selling her goods and started to earn a steady stream of money, in an honest way. Ethela leeched off of Vivant's income. Eventually, Vivant refused to pay for her sister all the time and fell out with Ethela. She was so annoyed and disappointed that Ethela made no effort to support her, that Ethela showed no signs of humility and acted as if she was above all the workers.

One day in the Blue Recluse, Vivant met a high elf, who played the Cello. He was tall, fair skin, long black hair, and a fairly handsome man. He taught Vivant how to play the Cello. She was not alien to music because she had been taught to sing since she could remember. However this instrument was different from her voice box. She spent many nights out in the Mage Quater with Hallim, the high elf, and grew to enjoy elven company. She began conversing with the high elf rangers and the mages, though many would talk down to her because they considered her inferior to them selves, she made a few friends. It was through that group of friends that she met her first love, Muttaius Von Ludendorf, when she was twenty two. He worked for the Alliance military, and was often posted in Westfall or in Westbrook. They stayed together for about two years, until Vivant found out that Muttaius had been having an affair with one on Vivant's friends. Vivant swore to kill Muttaius for what he had done, but after the day she found out, both Muttaius and his new lover had disappeared. After a few years she had forgotten about them, however she saw them in Loch Modan. Vivant, who had been training with the Silver Hand, had learned to control her lust for revenge. By that time she had forgiven them. They did not speak, for they were apparently "in a hurry."

It was in Loch Modan that Vivant met the dwarven criminal, Bauldrin. Bauldrin had heard of Vivant through her deeds in Arathi and offered her to work with him on a large commercial caravan raid. Vivant naturally refused, however when Ethela caught wind of the offer, she jumped on the opportunity. Vivant tried to stop her, but with their fall out, it only resorted in violence. Vivant after that headed back to her homelands and helped the Argent Dawn against the Scourge and the Scarlet Crusade. With no one she could call family she dedicated her time in avenging her family who died in Andorhal. She helped the Argent Crusade try to lower the Scourge threat in the Western Plaguelands. Fighting Scourge, and the deranged Scarlet Crusade, Vivant began to lose her sense of mercy. Slowly but surely, killing other paladins who stood against her became second nature. She became used to death, and said that, "Death was a presence close to me since I have been a child, with out it, it would almost be as if I had lost a close friend of mine." With that mentality Vivant had no trouble working with the Forsaken who helped the Argent Dawn.

Years had passed since Vivant and Ethela had spoken, unsure of what her sister had been up to, or even if she was still alive, Vivant began looking for her. She never left the Plaguelands in her quest to find Ethela, to her, fighting the Scourge was more important. It was not until the expeditions to Northrend, which Vivant eagerly joined in, that Ethela and Vivant met. Vivant, having forgiven her sister, was pleased to see Ethela safe from harm. However Ethela was less than happy when she noticed Vivant walking up to her. Calling her, "Blinded by the false enlightenment" Ethela acted spiteful to Vivant. In the end they settled their differences, and together battled to Scourge in the frozen wastes of Northrend. After the Lich King's death Vivant and Ethela headed back to Eastern Kingdoms, to clean up the remaining Scourge.
