About
Appearance| Vee follows a certain religion when defining her personal style, and that is not going beyond the comfort of buttoned up shirts and a pair of faded Levi's, unless it's a special occasion. While inside the apartment she'd be wearing glasses, mostly she wears contacts when going out. You'll rarely see her wear glasses beyond the confines of her apartment. Vee's not really the type to put an incredible amount of thought and effort on clothing, as she would always choose practicality in her everyday routine.
Unwaveringly standing at 5'7, Vee exhibits a confident posture, which one could agree to be a reflection of her personality. Her job ideally requires her to stay fit, and while she has a slim frame her body leans towards more on the athletic side. Her appearance evidently reveals much of her ethnicity ; brown eyes, dark hair and olive skin, and a defined jawline, which she all inherited from her father's side of the family.

Personality Vivian's always the type to go by the books, may it be in the literal, or figurative sense of the term. She finds it easier to have something to follow, and would rather not stray away from the borders. All throughout highschool and now, she'd always been described a 'square' and every time they do point it out she'll make an effort to prove them she's not an entirely boring person, no matter how many (futile) attempts it took her. But that certain attribute comes with its benefits, however, as she has an unbreakable determination and focus to follow her objectives, always in a meticulous step by step process. If she's given a job she gets it done fast and terrifyingly precise.
With this she may come off as a bit controlling, in the anal-retentive spectrum, as it bothers her to a great degree when one thing is amiss no matter how small that may be. She can be fairly social, only if you chance her to be in the mood on some days. An introvert, most of the time she keeps to herself and minds her own business but is more or less pretty laid back when holding conversations. Vee has trouble in dealing with emotional situations. More so to the other person, that could make the situation either, ten times worse or just plain awkward. If she were to give advice on people, she'd go straight to the point and may not even realize that she can come off a bit strong and inconsiderate, though truly she just means to help.
Biography| Before she moved out of her family home, Vivian has lived in a quiet and unattentive household. Though raised all her life under a wealthy lifestyle, her parents most of the time leave her be together with her older brother and is usually taken under the care of a housekeeper. It can be assumed that she has a pretty distant relationship with her family, and during her younger years she and her brother don't get along well so in a sense, she pretty much grew up alone.
To make up for it however, she would look for a way to distract herself and mostly she gives a lot of her focus on her studies. It was easier for her to have something to follow, may it be from a page in a book or what the teacher tells her to. Though in slight truth a part of her is afraid to express, fearing that she would not satisfy, and disappoint the people who have high expectations of her.
After graduating and passing her training exams, she moved to her brother's old studio in Suncrest, a close distance away to her workplace. And recently, exactly a year after she moved in her father was caught and arrested for embezzling the company's money.
Her rent was still named under her father's bank account and with that, Vee had to make another means of acquiring cash. Her Paramedics job was not enough to cover it, so she decided to have her space rented,
as it was large enough to accommodate a few lodgers.
A Memory| First Paramedic job. A car accident on a deadly curb heading to Washington. Vee recalls a surge of adrenaline, as they fish out the guy and his young daughter off the mangled car wreck. He was helplessly yelling for her daughter as they both grasp for dear life. His legs were broken, bending on the opposite direction. The whole place reeked of blood and gasoline. It was one of those memories where she remembered being overcome with intense terror. It was only a matter of time till they lose them both. Sadly the kid did not make it the next day.
Struggles| Vee is having a hard time going out of her comfort zone though she does not make it obviously known. Currently she puts too much of her time in work, aside from being cooped up in the apartment all day. Secretly she had been pursuing her writing hobby, making her own poetry pieces in the hopes of one day growing the balls to pitch it in The Rabbit Hole events, though her embarrassment and insecurity overwhelms her courage.
Family|Father: Andreas Liem, a businessman from Jakarta. Both father and daughter never really shared a wholesome relationship. Vee considers him a stranger, more than anything. Was arrested for embezzlement three months ago.
Mother: Catherine Liem (nee Bachman), a not so famous socialite from LA. A trophy wife to Andreas. They have a neutral relationship, Catherine would make calls to her once a month though they never really have the time, or bother most like it, to catch up.
Brother: Vincent Liem, older brother who works as a freelance artist, she used to hate his guts. They developed a friendship right after she moved out, staying a few months with him in his studio until he later moved out to Jakarta to pursue more of his artistic endeavors.
