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.

First Person Sample:
The zombie horde had all but overwhelmed Kingswater over the last few hours. As Vivi peered out of the glassless window of the ruined building she'd sought shelter in, she saw the undead swarming in the street, beating their ruined hands on the bricks of the building.
She knew she had no chance against them alone. She takes a deep breath and shouts out of the window as loud as she can.]
Hello?! Please, someone answer me! I can't be the only one left!
[Only the moans of the horde below answer her cries.
The floorboards creak behind her, and the first of the undead enter through the rotting door frame. Vivi grips her weapon, a baseball bat, tightly in her ashen fingers. She turns around with a look of resolve on her face, which turns to anguish as she sees that the zombie shuffling towards her is a child, no more than five or six years old.]
No... No, I can't. [She falls to her knees, the bat clunking dully as it drops to the floor. She looks into the vacant, dead eyes of the boy in front of her.] I will cure you. Whatever it takes, I will do it. No one should have to suffer like this, especially an innocent child.
Third Person Sample:
Vivi replaced the pamphlets on the table, turning to face away from them. This was too much for her to take in right now. It wasn't enough that she'd woken up on a table in some lab somewhere instead of in her own bed, but now to be told that she was fictional? That everything she'd gone through - all the pain and suffering of her people, her fear and despair, the friendships she'd forged and the joy she'd found in them - they were a lie. The product of someone else's imagination.
She sat back down on the end of the operating table, looking down at her shaking hands. This must all be some sort of sick joke. What right did the disembodied voice on the other end of the strange device, which seemed to Vivi like a mechanical Den Den Mushi, have to play with people's lives like this? Her feelings, her memories, they were as real to her now as they were five minutes ago, before she'd heard any of this, before her worldview had been shaken to the core.
Several books were stacked on a desk opposite where she was sat. On the cover of the first one, Vivi saw as she picked it up to examine it, was drawn in bright colors the faces of some very familiar people. People she cared deeply about, but had given up all hope of ever seeing again. With shaking hands, Vivi picked up the first book on the pile. Opening it, she began flicking through the pages. Almost immediately, she let out a shriek, hurling the book as far away from her as she could. It bounced off the wall onto the floor, the pages spilling open, onto the picture that had given her such a start. There in front of her, inked in black and white and coldly smirking at her from the paper, was Crocodile.
Vivi nudged the book closed with her foot. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she took another from the stack. This time she was greeted by Luffy's grinning face. Vivi couldn't help smiling down at the picture of him. That look in his eyes, she knew that so well, the one that told everyone he was unstoppable. It gave her strength in this harsh, unfriendly place. What would Luffy do, if he were here? Well, he wouldn't give up at being told he was a character in a tale someone else was spinning, that was for sure.
Vivi nodded in resolve. It wouldn't stop her, either.
