Profile of the main character:
Name: Viviane Saltier
Age: Appears to be about 28, but she’s actually 79.

Physical Description: Pale, ashen skin, straight black hair, dark brown eyes. Even as a vampire she is considered ethereally beautiful by those who come across her without knowing her true nature. She uses this to her advantage, luring unsuspecting victims to unwittingly sacrifice themselves to her bloodlust. (My inspiration for Viviane comes from: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs45/f/2009/075/c/5/Aracnafaria_by_Ironshod.jpg)

Weapons: Mostly her bare hands, some magic, and her fangs. She also carries a dagger with a silver blade, to protect herself from certain enemies…
Clothing/Armor: She owns a dark reddish-black velvet cloak, slightly tattered but mostly in good condition; an assortment of clothes that are in darker colors, mostly black. She dresses to impress more often than not. But she wears a leather corset under her clothes, which acts as armor if necessary.
Misc. Items: She owns a couple of necklaces to match her outfits when she’s trying to impress, and she also owns a gold locket with an engraved rose on the front, which Andrew gave her upon their engagement. Inside the locket is a dried rose petal from their wedding, and a miniature portrait of Andrew, painted by the famed artist, Rythe Lythandas, who had been a good friend of theirs. It is the one material item that holds any real value to her, and she keeps it close, even when she doesn’t wear it.

Bio/Personal History: Viviane was born in the small, close-knit community of Harlun’s Watch, just south of Cheydinhal. She lived a rather simple life, adored by her parents and sister, and working hard on the family farm. Her maiden name was Viviane Price, but she fell in love with and married a handsome and mysterious Cheydinhal man named Andrew Geline.

Married life was happy for them, even though Andrew was often very secretive and would sometimes disappear for weeks at a time; and after a few years of marriage, the couple was expecting their first child. But the labor was difficult and painful, lasting for over two days. Having lost so much blood and being in so weak a state, it was almost a certainty that she would not survive past the delivery of the child. Andrew, secretly a vampire and seeing that his beloved wife was sure to die, waited until the final stages of pushing, when the chaos kept everyone distracted and busy. Then he bit Viviane, hoping to save her life by turning her into a vampire.

The child was born, a healthy baby boy, but it appeared that his mother would die. Only Andrew was aware that the sickness known as Porphyric Hemophilia was coursing through his young wife’s veins, even after she appeared to have died.

While everyone grieved, Andrew waited until nightfall to take Viviane’s cold and seemingly lifeless body deep into the forests, where he hid her in a cave until, three days later, Viviane awoke from her dreamless sleep—she was now a vampire.

Viviane was shocked and terrified, but Andrew tried to calm her by explaining everything to her, and showing her his true state. At first, Viviane would not believe it, and she was terrified of this man she thought she had known so well. Unwilling to face the truth of her own condition, she fled the cave, heading toward the city to tell her family she was alive and well. But out in the sun, her skin starting to burn as if being held in a fire, she was forced to accept her dark fate, and she returned to the cave, waiting until night fall when she could go out again.

Andrew told her their son was alive and well, and being cared for by Viviane’s sister. He told her she could never go back and raise him herself, as everyone had seen her dead. If she returned alive, they would know she was undead, and she would be slaughtered. He asked her to stay with him—“Now that we are the same, we can live together without any secrets…” As much as she loved Andrew, though, Viviane could not get over the heart-break of knowing he had deceived her all these years. “You should have let me die!” she told him. She didn’t want to be a vampire, and if she couldn’t raise her son herself, she didn’t want to be alive at all.

Though her husband begged her to forgive him and to stay, she refused, and in his sorrow he fled. She hasn’t seen him since. Meanwhile, Viviane continued to watch over her son from afar, always staying hidden in the shadows, remaining like a ghost in the night. She has travelled around Cyrodiil, and she became a member of the Order, but she always ends up going back to check up on her son. And when he grew up and moved to a nearby town, she followed him there, to watch over him still, as he started a family of his own….

Recently she has come into town, where she lives under an assumed name and keeps mostly to herself. Many of the villagers distrust the mysterious lady who always dresses in black and is rarely seen out and about except for at night. They regard her simply as a woman with loose morals, but they suspect there is more to her than that.
