Vee is a young woman who possesses a lively, free spirit. She is a person who presents with high energy and overall loudness, being easy to excite and interest with her strong sense of curiosity. She has a latent need to grab attention, and thus often times does things in very attention-grabbing ways, be it calling to her own presence when entering somewhere, or even directly going out of her way to directly interact with others. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind and often does so with little shame or filter, something that has gotten her in trouble quite a bit in the past.

Even if she may seem pushy and have too much of a head on her shoulders, at heart Vee has good intentions behind her actions. She never does anything out of malice or contempt for others, more or less wearing her heart on her sleeve. If she’s ever mad or annoyed with anyone, they’re going to know in that instant, she is not one to ruminate or mull over how she feels about someone, she’s just going to spit it in their face given the right moment. Given that, she also is very outgoing and obvious if she wants to form a relationship with someone, even being as direct as, ‘Hey, you wanna go hang out with me?’. Vee is a kind, supportive person to others, and tries to be reasonably accommodating to others. In times where she has perhaps pushed it too far, the moment she realizes she’s done something wrong or upsetting to someone, she will try her best to make up for it, even if it were a total stranger.

Despite those in her life trying to chip her down and make her give up on her dreams, Vee is ridiculously stubborn and determined when it comes to achieving what she wants. Even if she is beaten down and ground into the dirt, she is going to get back up, keep going at it, and continue being that problem to that person who wants to stop her. She had been underestimated her entire life, and for her to simply lie down and take, to her, is an admittance that her family was right to do that to her, and she cannot stand that idea.



Born and raised in France, Vivyan lived a relatively normal life with her rather large family. The Fayes were a relatively well-off family living in the rural hills. They were actually a family of pure-blood quincies, being quite intent on keeping their line this way down to making arranged marriages. They were quincies who were very focused on how many of them there were, typically having a great many children once they found a compatible partner.

This fixation on growth and populating the world with what they deemed to be the “superior” family supposedly spawned from some great tragedy that occurred in their family a long, long time ago. There was some degree of hidden shame tied around this supposed tragedy that nearly wiped them out, but it wasn’t a story any remembered or could tell. From all that Vivyan could tell, her father was excessively paranoid of keeping all of them in one place, and for them to appear like normal citizens to any other, as if afraid of some possibility of them being “found” by the wrong person.

Vivyan was a child who ended up square in the middle of this practice, being one of the practically invisible middle children of her parents. This of course, influenced her to want to be seen.

She chalked up to be a bit of a problem child in an attempt to get her parent’s attention and recognition, growing a rather loud and pushy personality compared to her comparatively quieter siblings. Of course, this led to her getting in trouble or punished more often than not, but it didn’t do much to deter her. Even if she could be reckless and a bit insensitive at times, she still presented plenty of love to her siblings, even as a young child. Often times expressed by her looking after them, taking care of them, and even using her role as the ‘problematic one’ to take the fall for her siblings if she felt it wasn’t a fair reaction, which it typically was.

However, what truly drew her attention was her older sibling’s activities, her parents being rather overly involved with them and their training and studies due to their potential as quincies appearing rather early on. She always begged her older siblings to show her how to do what they did, but she always seemed to have a lack of talent of even absorbing reishi. She didn’t care however, as she was simply fixated on the idea of being as talented as her siblings, thinking rather highly of them for their talent and ability.

Though one day, her father had an announcement for the whole family - he and her eldest siblings were off to Antarctica to ‘rejoin their people’, the Vandenreich. Of course, Vee begged to go with them, both not wanting to part with her siblings, and lose one of her only avenues of learning, however her pleading wasn’t apparently met, until late at night when they were setting off for their trip. Her eldest brother and sister had woken her up and brought her aside to give her a gift - a bracelet. Her sister stressed that it was a family heirloom, something her mother had given her as a good luck charm for their journey, but her sister decided to secretly gift it to Vee as she was perhaps one of the most passionate about learning.

Past that point, she didn’t really get to see her siblings much, apart from instant messaging and pictures sent. Hearing about them and their work as Sternritter only made a young Vee want to work even harder at developing her abilities, even if her power didn’t seem to want to budge at times, learning in secret as her mother began to see any and all trying as fruitless and overworking, that she had to focus more on simply being a fine and proper young lady for a husband one day.

However, years went by, and then came the war. Vee was pressed to a screen constantly, trying to keep track of the situation, wondering how her father and siblings were doing. They all had stopped responding to her messaging, something she could only assume to be because they were needed in action. She was worried, but also excited - she was only a young teenager at that point, and didn’t truly understand the cost of war. It wouldn’t be until her father returned home, with half the amount of siblings he had left with, those who did return not wishing to speak about what they experienced. If her father was cold and bitter about the situation of the Quincies before, he was malding and poisonous after what he saw as a true haven was struck down.

Vee mourned the loss of her older siblings, her eldest brother and a few others having gone completely missing, her eldest sister returned with scars of the body and mind. Vee tried to ask her for training, but it was as if she was a completely different person - telling Vee to just give up and not bother trying to be any more than what she was current, the teen not truly understanding the weight of the situation, becoming frustrated and distant from her, and given her father’s behavior, the rest of her family.

Her father only got worse down the line when he heard of what the Vandenreich - the Quincy had become - to him it was nothing but a cesspool of impurity and lost creatures now, blind to what drove them initially. Vee was often the one at the receiving end of these endless, angry rants, often triggered by her being caught practicing, or even outright saying she didn’t care what he thought, that she wanted to become a Sternritter. The wedge between her and her family only became greater and greater, until she managed to properly form a weapon. She was over the moon, and only took this development as a sign that she could make it. That she had to, she was worth it.

And with that, she decided to run away from home, and thus join the Vandenreich.



Iceborne
The Fayes, for any who know of them, have some inclination towards ice, snow, and the cold in general. Their general look always has some leaning to these elements, even if not actually possessing a leaning towards the cold in their abilities, Vivyan herself being no exception. Even with her initial sputtering start, any reishi she attempts to gather will take on that of a cold nature; looking, forming like, and even feeling similar to ice, although being far colder and more persistent than normal ice.



Name: Glace-teur

Appearance: The bracelet around Vee’s wrist glows, forming a glowing, snowflake-like ring around her arm. Sharp, small, icicle-like daggers form from this ring directly in Vee’s hand, entirely constructed out of reishi natured into ice crystals.


Frozen Daggers: The snowflake-like construct of Reishi that forms around Vee’s wrist will spawn icicle-like daggers for her in order to use in combat. It is only capable of forming one dagger at a time, leaving some delay between forming these weapons. They are incredibly sharp piercing weapons, being able to cut through most typical objects without issue, however begin to hit a wall the moment much stronger and durable objects or enemies come into play (Adept is harder to pierce, while Advanced and above will break them immediately if struck).

These daggers being made of ice is not for show, however. If they manage to stab something, they will deposit freezing reishi into whatever they stab. However, due to how weak the wielder of the weapon is right now, it is only a very minor frosting that would at worst cause temporary paralysis of a localized area. And of course, Vee herself is not immune to the dagger’s freezing effects; if she uses this ability too much in one sitting she will begin to suffer the same effects, though it’s far more delayed.
