Vivian, once known simply as Vivian, now bears the moniker "The Mute" as a testament to the silence that envelops her voiceless existence. Born in the bustling heart of the Vache Kingdom, she harbored dreams of innovation and invention from a tender age. Her youthful zeal and boundless curiosity caught the attention of the esteemed inventor and vampire count Viktor Nightly, who plucked her from the mainland and brought her to the desolate shores of the Iron Isles to serve as his apprentice.
In the shadow of Viktor's imposing presence, Vivian's talents blossomed, her nimble fingers crafting marvels of machinery and ingenuity under his watchful eye. Her beauty, with its striking blue eyes, became a whispered tale among those who dwelled within the dark embrace of the Iron Isles, a beacon of light amid the gloom. But fate, in its capriciousness, dealt Vivian a cruel hand during one fateful showcase of their inventions. A flaw in their creation exposed itself, and in a moment of misplaced candor, Vivian spoke out of turn, drawing the wrath of Lucian Everron. In a fit of vampire rage, he grievously injured her, ripping off her arm and jawline. The confrontation escalated until Viktor Nightly intervened, facing off against Lucian, and later, Lucian's father, Jonathan Everron.
Viktor, driven by both guilt and genuine care for his talented apprentice, managed to save Vivian's life through his artifice and cunning. The cost, however, was high. Vivian emerged from the ordeal forever changed, her once-beautiful face half covered by a steel mask that concealed her lower features. To replace her lost arm, Viktor crafted a remarkable mechanical appendage, blending artifice with the remnants of her mortal form.
Silenced by the cruel actions of Lucian, Vivian was left with a new form of communication. Expressions and gestures became her voice, a silent testimony to her enduring spirit. In the aftermath of the incident, she met Jonathan Everron, the master of Viktor and Lucian. When questioned about her continued existence, Vivian, with a note written in elegant script, expressed her thirst for knowledge and the unfinished work she had yet to accomplish. Vivian's mysterious survival intrigued Jonathan Everron, raising questions about Viktor's motivations. While she remains the only mortal in Viktor's close circle, the reasons behind this peculiar alliance remain shrouded in secrecy. Vivian, the Mute Artificer, presses on with her work, a living testament to resilience and the indomitable spirit that refuses to be silenced, even in the face of the undead.
