Overview
Vivian is Vianna and Julian's mother and an adult level eight mage from Brighthaven. She lives with Marcus, Julian, and Vianna in Radiance Prime, questions Isaac's harsh training of Vianna at Radiance Prime Magic School, and pushes Marcus to speak with him.
History
When Vianna struggles at Radiance Prime Magic School, Vivian argues that Isaac is pushing too hard, proposes an easier theory-focused school, and scolds Julian when his comments hurt Vianna. During training, Isaac breaks and heals Vianna's arm; Vivian demands answers from Marcus and comforts Vianna afterward.
When Alistair's pressure starts the Brighthaven Civil War, Isaac gets Vivian, Marcus, Julian, and Vianna onto a construct boat out of Brighthaven. Vivian leaves with a prepared pack and survives Brighthaven's defenses during the escape from Alistair, who wants to use Vianna as proof that Pyrathalor is returning.
The family settles in Hengzhou, the capital of Hengvaris, for two years, and Vivian still misses Brighthaven. During the Battle of Hengzhou, she orders Vianna to hide. Vivian, Marcus, and Julian go out to fight the Shroudvale shapers. Vivian dies in the Battle of Hengzhou, leaving Vianna to grieve the loss of her mother, father, and brother.
