Appearance
Vivian has often been described as a beautiful girl with kind eyes and hair more golden than the light of the sun. Her smile is infectious with a full set of pearly whites and a skin tone that is tanned only slightly to give her a shade above white but not as near to tan as one might expect from a child of the sun. Her body, though it is adequately proportioned is neither too thin nor too curvy. She not only finds herself physically equipped with mostly-average weight-to-height proportions, there’s also a sense of long-forgotten sweetness when someone gazes into her blue eyes. She is, after all, the personification of a Valley Girl.
And like a Valley girl, Vivian’s fashion sense reflects that very thing. She’ll always be seen in bold, yet highly-fashionable, colors. Whether she wears skirts or shorts, a shirt or a tank, always they are boldly fashionable, but it’s highly likely for this girl to wear some shade of yellow, orange, coral, or even a slightly-darker shade of white (silver likely) when considering her outfit of the day. As a child of the sun, she just can’t help herself when it. She loves feeling beautiful and free. She adores the many shades of bold yellow, soft gold, and the grays and whites in-between.
Personality
Bubbily ☼ Energetic ☼ Overtly Positive ☼ Easy to Please ☼ Friendly ☼ Lovable ☼ Carefree ☼ Overworries ☼ Prone to opinions about her ☼ Insecure to a degree ☼ Often forgetful ☼ Easily discouraged
Vivian embodies just about everything you or anyone could possibly imagine or want from a Daughter of the Greek God of Sun, Music, and Art. She embodies a liveliness that is infectious. Her smile and her laugh, the way she carries herself and how always - always - Vivian Lucasta can both make herself the life and center of the party (or any group/crowd for that matter) and not appear to be as though she wanted is both something that speaks to her character and how she never actively seeks attention. She also will never talk negatively about anyone or anything. A good girl to her core, Vivian believes there is good in just about anyone she meets. It doesn’t matter if they have been known to do bad things to people she has known to love or if they thoguht about doing these horrible things. Through it all, VIvian has been brought up to see the good in everyone and she continues to see the good in people now.
While Vivian is certainly the kind of person who will show an overly-positive demeanor with an engaging, lovable, and often abrasive niceness, she isn’t without some easily-influenceable aspects to her overall being. Particularly, Vivian has a lot of insecurities about how she can be perceived and most importantly, this happy-go-lucky valley girl is one of the easiest people to discourage and influence. Because she is so naive and so absolutely ignorant to a lot of things, to get her to see that one person might be good even when they are not is almost comedic in how she will never see the truth coming. And even then, Vivian’s still pretty clueless and doesn’t know if so and so was actually a horrible person or not. That part of her brain has been wired to only see the light, never the darkness. It’s both a blessing and a curse.
There also seems to be a bit of an inner-airhead when it comes to the Daughter of Apollo. It’s not that she doesn’t have a brain or any sign of intelligence up in her noggin, but because she is easily influenced by anyone who would dare want to use her in such horrible ways, she is also quite forgetful. She doesn’t forget names or faces or anything like that, but some important information like tests, where she was told to meet people - or hell, even something so short term as for where the gym is can slip her mind. But she does it all in such a cute way that people just laugh it off. But if there’s one person who’ll always give her crap about this particular aspect about her.
History
Love is often hard to come by, especially in a world where it’s highly cynical of the concept of love, as well as the genuine concern that someone who shows even a little attention wants something in return.
And, usually that is the case, but it wasn’t the case for Lillian Lucasta. She was - and still is - a simple girl (well now woman) who was just twenty-one when she met the man of her dreams. For so long, she had the image of this man in her mind. Ever since she could think of the perfect man who could sweep her off her feet and make her feel truly special, the moment she met Apollo, the Greek God of the Sun and Music, proved to her that her dream guy didn’t even come close to him. The sweet smile he always gave her when she laughed and the way he made her feel every time they kissed and how he touched her - oh the way he touched her still made the now mother of three tingle and smile fondly at the memory of the guy who changed her life.
Their time together was short, but it wasn’t the first time that Apollo graced Lillian with his presence. He showed up when she was giving birth to their daughter and he came back every three years. Apollo, though he was a god, tried to be involved in his daughter’s life as often as he could. And though it was hard for Lillian because APollo ruined other guys for her and she couldn’t really love any other man. Still, there was no doubt in her mind that the fact her daughter had a relationship with him was more than enough to quell her heartbreak.
And it was for Vivian that knowing her father that shaped the girl into the kind of person she is now. Every three years, for a month, her father was around. Even when he wasn’t around physically, Apollo was there for her in other ways, too. Whenever she needed someone to talk to in her dreams, he was there. If she just needed to hear his voice, he’d talk to her in her mind. Vivian never cared that her father was a Greek God or whatever. She had grown up knowing that, but that didn’t matter. To her, he was her father - the light of her life and she was the light of his. Complicated or not, Apollo and his daughter Vivian have a relationship that is rare among the Godly Parents and their half-mortal children.
The fact that Vivian knew about her Godly parentage early on made the moments that led up to her godly abilities manifesting not all too surprising. The only thing that caught the chipper girl by surprise was around the time she turned sixteen that she was given the biggest blow to her life thus far when Apollo and her mother sat her down and said that she was going to be shipped off to a special place in Colorado. Confusion set in, but after a few more times, she understood. It was a place for others like her who had a god or goddess for a parent and this place protected them as they learned how to harness their new-found abilities.
This was three years ago. Now eighteen and on her third year at Olympus Academy, if not for anything, Vivian remained as excited for this year as she was in the first one. Above all else, she remains in somewhat-constant contact with her father and that’s one of the most important things to her right now. She understands he can’t talk to her all of the time, but when he does, she appreciates him for it.
"If I had to describe my daughter in one word, it would be her undying love for those around her. I think she takes after her mother in that way." —
Apollo, God of the Sun
Godly Parent
Apollo, God of music, poetry, light, prophecy, and medicine.
Relationship With Godly Parent
Apollo, to a lot of people, has been described as a dick, a douchebag (“That’s what Dal calls him, not me.”), but to Vivian, she has only ever seen her Godly father - the great god that reigns over art and light - as daddy. He often teases her, which is without a doubt a trait that has carried over to her brother, but to her, the relationship she has with her father, though it may be complicated from time to time, is probably the best it’ll ever get. She loves him and he loves her. He might not always be around, but Apollo and Vivian are as close as any God and Demigoddess can be.
Demigod Abilities
Light of Your Life
Deep within Vivian’s soul burns a brilliant desire to protect. And in that protective instinct - possibly even greater than it - is her ability to produce and manipulate a magnificent light drawn from the sun itself. It can take many forms, shapes, and, of course, has used in both offensive and defensive, both of which Viv neither lacks nor specializes in one or the other. Quite simply, it simply the first of her four abilities that she learned to hone.
It reacts in accordance to her emotions. In that, when she has the sudden urge to protect, it will shine so brightly to the point of blinding those her heart may deem a threat to her or whoever has the benefit of being behind her. Alternatively, in the rare instance that Vivian may act - oh, let’s hostile - towards an individual or a group of individuals, the light will not show mercy. It will continue until the enemy is dealt with accordingly. A blast upon blast, waves of immeasurable force, and a thinly-veiled aura enhancing her demigodly capabilities just to ensure the desire of Vivian's heart is accomplished.
Goodbye Sadness, Hello Happiness
There’s no denying that Vivian’s smile and the overall vibe that you get from her is without a doubt one that everybody wants to be around. What most don’t know is that the warm glow and the overwhelmingly-positive feelings that one gets they have been feeling down in the dumbs and they suddenly start feeling better. This is because Vivian is absorbing light from the sun and transferring subtle amounts of healing light to the part of their amygdala in the limbic system as she brings them into a place of serene calmness. Any negative thoughts they would have felt otherwise are still there, but as long as they remain within three yards of Vivian, they will not feel the need to think anything but good vibes!
It’s In My Blood
Whether or not Vivian realized it, but throughout her life - and then her two-three years being at Olympus Academy - she had found that her reflexes and ability to shoot things with top-tier accuracy were unexplainable. It wasn’t just her ability to shoot things with Hawkeye-like accuracy, but Vivian discovered she had this uncanny, unexplainable ability to take in a certain aspect of physical training and become quite proficient in it. That isn’t to say she is a prodigy. A prodigy would have been able to kick her brother’s bottom in the same way that he has kicked hers every time they trained. Even with that in mind, whenever she has a bow and arrow in her hand (physical or created from light), her ability to make a center hit with whatever her target reminds her of the children/hunters of Artemis in how they seem to be able to land even better direct hits with their targets (way more than she can by the way).
In the truth of it all, Vivian’s real strength comes from muscle memory. She remembers how she experienced things from her own first-hand account and her body reacts accordingly. Sometimes her mind is slow on the uptake, but at some point, she’ll get the hang of it. Or at least, that’s what her father and brother says to her all the time.
I Can See the Light
In a manner of speaking, Vivian sees images of light, but in reality, she can see fragments of future events in pieces. This is without a doubt the part of her father that controls prophecy. It’s a fairly new ability and one that has gone mostly unchecked and untrained. Technically, not even her brother knows about it. In it, she sees segments of no more than five seconds play out and these events tend to occur within three minutes of her seeing it. And the timing of which she does see them have been quite inconsistent almost to the point where she can go over a week without having a flare(as she calls it).
