Personality: Vivi is, perhaps, one of the kindest, gentlest souls you are ever likely to come across. She always puts the welfare of anyone and everyone she comes across above her own, and isn't afraid to speak out against cruelty. This stems in part from her upbringing as Princess of Arabasta; her father has always tried to do what is best for his subjects and Vivi has learned from him that the most important part of being a good monarch is ensuring the welfare of all the citizens, rather than just the elite few. She spent quite a bit of her childhood as vice-president of the 'Suna Suna Clan', which enabled her to experience a normal childhood playing with other children, as well as learning the importance of friends and solidarity. Her childhood friend, Kohza, eventually became leader of the revolutionaries in the war that nearly destroyed Arabasta, but Vivi still tried to see the best in him, knowing that he was fighting for what was right, even if it turned him against herself and her father. She is very close with her father, King Cobra, and cares about his welfare immensely. Vivi's mother, Queen Titi, died when Vivi was very young, and she has very few memories of her. One of her fondest wishes is to have been able to have a relationship with her mother.
Vivi's biggest downfall is her reluctance to share what she perceives to be her responsibilities, especially towards other people. While she is touched and grateful when anyone goes out of their way for her, she also feels a little uncomfortable, as if she is inconveniencing them, or is a burden to them. On the other hand, she would never think twice about going out of her way for anyone else, even if it means giving up her own life. She would prefer to shoulder the entire burden herself rather than see someone she cares about in pain.
In order to save her country, Vivi went undercover among the ranks of the man trying to destroy it, Crocodile. She toughened up during this time and learned valuable fighting skills, but still prefers not to fight unless she cannot avoid it. She is quite touchy about the time she spent in the Baroque Works organization, and it brings back to her painful memories of having to do things that she knew were wrong in the short term, to help her nation survive in the long term.
Vivi comes across as serene, but she can be quick to anger if she sees someone being treated badly, whether she knows them or not. Vivi is not quick to panic, but seems to let little things build up until she breaks under the weight of them: when this happens, she can be a wreck for quite a while.
Being a princess, Vivi is very cultured and sophisticated, and maintains an air of politeness at all times. Despite all of this, she is somewhat of a tomboy, and would very much prefer to be off on an adventure than stuck in the palace having her actions dictated for her. Vivi can be quite naive; this especially shows through in her interactions with others, whether it is her continual politeness, her automatic believal of Usopp's bragging, her absolute sincerity, and her foolish belief that if she tries her hardest then no one else will get hurt.
There is little information about what Vivi has been doing since the Straw Hats left Arabasta, so here is my own interpretation of what has been happening to her:
- She has devoted a lot of time to oversee the rebuilding of Arabasta. She has had an uneasy relationship with the Marines stationed around Arabasta, in that on the one hand she feels uncomfortable helping the World Government when Luffy has made such an enemy of them, but at the same time other pirate crews are passing through Arabasta on their way through the Grand Line, and they have needed the Marines' help to fend them off.
- She has heard all about Enies Lobby in the newspapers, and feels that the World Government isn't telling the whole truth about what happened there. She is quite upset and confused that Luffy has accepted her enemy, Nico Robin, as nakama.
- Vivi has continued with her education, especially in royal/political matters, which she missed a lot of when she was in Baroque Works (I interpret her having been away from Arabasta in Baroque Works for about 2 years, from when she was 14 to 16). She has not had much time to practise her fighting, and has managed to stay at about the same level as she was, but grow no stronger physically.
Strengths:
+ Skilled in diplomacy + Trained as a child in all a princess should know: history, politics, etiquette, art, music (she plays the piano and flute) + A skilled sailor (a necessary skill on the Grand Line) + Skilled in fighting, especially at long range + Has great determination and resolve + Will go out of her way to protect those she considers friends + Has a great amount of patience + Good at sneaking around and spying, as shown by her undercover work in Baroque Works + Friendly, and very open minded
Weaknesses:
- Not very physically strong; in a fist-fight she would be easily overpowered - Not very good at sharing her burdens - Prone to panic in a crisis - Very good at holding a grudge - Can be gullible and naive
Powers & Abilities: Vivi does not have any special powers
Items on their Person:I would like Vivi to have the weapon she uses, her kujakki slashers.
