Vivienne Elowen Alistair Lioré
Title: Lady of House Lioré
Age: Late 35 to early 40
Height: 6" (182.88cm) — Taller than Evelyn
Hair: Deep black tint of blue, with a subtle wave, often worn in elegant updos or flowing loose at night; a mirror to Eva's darkness
Eyes: Pale lavender-gray — soft but shrewd, like fog drifting over amethyst
Voice: Smooth and low, the kind of voice that doesn't rise—it quiets the room instead
Style: Favors lavender, plum, and iris-hued gowns, soft cashmere scarves, and long flowing silhouettes with subtle embroidery. Always immaculate, always intentional.

Physical Presence:
Vivienne is striking in the way a midnight garden is striking—rich in shadow, layered in scent, designed to be noticed only by those who take the time to look closely. She's tall, composed, and often moves as though the world waits for her to speak before it continues turning.
There's an effortless synchronicity between her and Eva that onlookers notice in passing—two mirrors cut from the same dusk-colored glass, despite generations apart.
*****
Personality:
Vivienne is refined, sharp-witted, and emotionally intuitive. She sees what others miss, especially when they believe themselves unreadable. She rarely interrupts. She doesn't need to. Her silence is measured and powerful, and her few spoken words carry the weight of entire conversations.
While Evelyn is logic and armor, Vivienne is intuition cloaked in silk. She isn't reckless with affection—but when she chooses to give it, it is generous, consuming, and impossible to forget.
*****
Relationship to Evelyn:
Vivienne is the only person Evelyn never needed to explain herself to. She is older, taller, and always just slightly out of reach—not to assert control, but to preserve a kind of sacred gravity between them.
Vivienne waited. Years of stolen glances, withheld touches, and quiet understanding shaped their bond into something more formidable than longing—it became inevitable.

Notable Details:
• Has a quiet affinity for viola music, often heard playing in her wing
• Keeps Eva's childhood sketches stored in a velvet box, untouched but never forgotten
• Known among the staff as "The Velvet Iron" — beautiful, unbending, and impossible to truly defy
