Vivi

Vivi is a main character from the Between Dimensions trilogy. She is also number 9 from the Hokage 18 and a renowned medical ninja and fighter.

Background
Vivi was the first born child of her family, born June 17. She was blessed with a loving family, but soon the ties began to deteriorate as she became older and saw the world.

After the death of her paternal grandparents her paternal side of the family broke out and severed their ties to her immediate family, this included her godmother who had baptized her. Seeing her father now abandoned by his family made her lose hope that she would be together with her siblings when her parents passed. She began viewing the world in dark way, her old values and ways disappeared and she became a shell of her former self. Her favorite motto was that the people who you love would always abandon you and everything that began with love ended with hatred.

She developed anorexia nervosa at 11 years old and depression soon followed. She suffered in her black views for 2 years before making friends with Jenny, Ana and a girl name Marly. During this time she became rivals with Elsa who had become jealous that she had taken her friend Ana away from her; in retaliation she stole Marly's friendship from her. Vivi slipped into depression again when Elsa and Marly began making comments about her body how pathetic she was for faking the depression. She attempted suicide by swallowing a cocktail of different pain medications, but was saved by an unknown classmate when he called the paramedics.

From then on her views changed and the world began to turn a bit brighter. She started opening her mind and smiling. Her smile grew larger when she did community service knowing that she was helping people. Her ties to her friends grew stronger and she became closer to Jenny, Ana, Jair and Daniel. Soon she became friends again with an old childhood friend, Ulysses. She gradually became friends with the rest of the Hokage 18 and stopped the rivalry with Elsa.

Personality
By the beginning of the first book Vivi is an open-minded and independent young woman. She prefers to end a horrible situation with peaceful words rather than violence although she does have a short-temper. Vivi prefers to see the bright side of a situation, though she is a self-proclaimed pessimist. She is a strong friend and is extremely loyal to any of her allies and teammates and would do anything to protect them.

Though on the outside she seems as though she is calm and at peace, those closest to her know that once she becomes silent something is bothering her. She displays her emotion through her voice and makes it priority to keep her facial features seem as if she is fine. Ana once called her the master of hiding emotions. Sasuke also pointed out that once the color of her eyes darkens and hollowed, you knew she was done with the matter at hand. He added that sometimes he wondered if even she knew what she wanted and compared her to a hummingbird, flying from flower to flower until she sucked it dry.

Despite that she enjoys laughing and comforting people. Her compassionate side comes out more often than not. And she makes it a priority to listen and sympathize with everyone. This is shown when she hugs Iruka after he tells her about the death of his parents and how lonely he felt, she comforts and promises him to never leave him alone and contemplated that she wishes that she had been brought to his world sooner so that she could have been there for him. Another example of her compassion is when she first met Sasuke and instantly felt connected to him. She sympathized with his feelings of being second to his brother and as the time went by she considered Sasuke like a brother and helps him whenever he feels lost or confused.

During combat she wipes away all emotions and becomes a ruthless, blood-thirsty ninja. Occasionally she can become cocky, but nonetheless respects her teams and opponents.

By Book 2 she has developed motherly feelings towards Sasuke and her compassion towards Iruka has bloomed into love. She still retains much of her old personality, but has guilt over hiding Itachi's secret from Sasuke. She also gets very angry towards anyone who speaks of Itachi ill. Vivi makes it her goal to never allow Sasuke feel lonely, against Itachi's wishes for her to allow him to be angry and vengeful. When Sasuke leaves the village, she falls into depression but doesn't attempt to bring him back knowing it would jeopardize Itachi's plan.

Appearance
Vivi is described as having a slender, petite body. Her hair is black on the top layer and medium brown on the bottom layers and falls a bit past her shoulders and is naturally curled. She has coffee and crème colored skin and three freckles on the right side of her face in the shape of a triangle. She has light brown eyes and long curled eyelashes. She is the shortest of the Hokage 18 standing at 5'2 and also the lightest. She has been described by many characters as an exotic beauty, even though she believes herself to be plain and uninteresting.

As the girliest of the group Vivi is constantly changing her outfits varying from skirts to shorts and tank tops to tube tops. Her style begins to stabilize as she finds out her Kekkei Genkai. She, for the most part of Book 1, wears an ivory colored midriff tank top with fishnets underneath along with a pair of blue denim short shorts and standardized ninja sandals. She wears her forehead protector around her neck and her hair is let down, occasionally tied into a high ponytail.

For Book 2 and 3 Vivi wears a kimono styled midriff tank top with a dark purple colored obi tied at the hem and cuts down low to show her small sized cleavage and one sized bigger bust. She wears tight black thigh length shorts and low heeled open toes black sandals. Her hands are covered by a pair of fingerless dark purple gloves with metal plates on them. Her forehead protector is tied around her waist and has a dark purple cloth instead of its original blue color. And her hair is tied into a rolled up bun with her long black bangs framing the sides of her face. Due to the high amounts of healing chakra that flow through her body, she still retains the same teenage youthful look she had when she arrived in the ninja world. She has also developed a more womanly figure as her hips widened and her chest has grown a noticeable size larger.
