Originally born somewhere in Haiti as Tallulah Black, "Vivienne" grew up into poverty as an only child to a single mother on the streets. When she was thirteen years old, at the time of her mother's death, Vivienne was abducted by slave traders, and was transported to an unknown island in the Bahamas, where she was tasked as a maid servant to the former pirate, Albinus, within his timber industry. As the foundation regarded on slave labor, young Vivienne befriended a lumberjack slave named Charles Vane, whom she saw as a father figure while sneaking him food rations, water, and medical treatment. One night, in her early twenties, she shot Albinus in defense, after witnessing him beat Vane nearly to death, and escaped with him to the island of New Providence, joining its growing community as pirates. There, Vivienne educated herself on the ways of being "street-smart", posing as a tavern prostitute, in order to steal high valued items from its customers. After seducing a young merchant sailor named John Silver into a one-night stand, her developed charisma stole his innocence and morality, seemingly "inspiring" him into becoming a born opportunist, a conniving liar, and a charming thief. For these new talents, she recruited Silver as quartermaster.
Despite her shady background, and fluency in English and Spanish, Tallulah Black is a beautiful, cunning, strong-willed woman, who was educated into learning life's lessons on the road by her foster father, Charles Vane, after rescuing him from the servitude of the former pirate, Albinus. In between hot-headed forcefulness and cool-minded compassion, Black is not to be underestimated, after being mentored by one of the greatest pirates in the Golden Age, growing up into a highly intelligent and ruthless buccaneer, who dreams for a better life through her loyalties to Vane. She takes advantage of a situation by wielding her fierce, unpredictable brawling prowess, as well as her charming influence, in order to manipulate certain events and people to win their trust. Her talent of testing other casualties was so great, she was able to bend the minds of John Silver and Abigail Ashe into becoming part of the pirate community. Since she is a prized key member of his crew, Tallulah finds it relatively difficult to disobey Vane's orders, and sometimes, it becomes hard for her to find freedom for herself when taking them. As she shows respect and a fondness for Vane, she's his only voice of reason, not being afraid to confront, question, or correct his authority, nor to tame the beast from within. Even though she holds a very deep regard for her captain, Tallulah has the weakness of giving other people, other than Vane, the best of intentions, be either ally or enemy. Since after learning about Vane's death, Tallulah's personality changes for the worse.
