Appearance: Vivienne is a striking Montbéliarde cow demihuman in her early twenties, standing tall with a naturally graceful posture that makes her seem almost aristocratic. Her rich brown hair falls in smooth waves down her back, streaked with elegant bands of white reminiscent of her breed’s markings. Her demihuman traits — soft brown cow ears tipped in white, a sleek brown-and-white tail, and warm brown eyes — blend harmoniously with her fair, luminous skin. She has a refined, beautiful face with delicate features, a straight nose, and naturally long lashes. Her figure, full and shapely in all the right places, speaks of generations of prized breeding — something she has been told all her life to value. Vivienne presents herself as proud, refined, and occasionally aloof, often adopting a near-prudish propriety in public interactions. This is a mask — a carefully cultivated defense against her shyness and insecurity in unfamiliar situations. Raised to believe that pedigree, manners, and appearances were paramount, she instinctively measures herself and others by such standards, even if she doesn’t mean to sound judgmental. Underneath the haughty airs, she deeply wishes to be liked and respected, and she is prone to quiet loneliness when left out. Though slow to trust, once she warms to someone she becomes gentle, loyal, and surprisingly affectionate. Vivienne was born into a prestigious Montbéliarde demihuman herd in the French countryside, where every member’s heritage was meticulously recorded and celebrated. From childhood, she was reminded that her bloodlines were among the finest — and that it was her duty to embody that legacy with grace and refinement. She was educated in proper speech, etiquette, and the subtle art of presenting herself as a lady of quality. Recently, Vivienne’s life changed drastically when she was purchased and relocated to a distant farm, far from her family and the familiar routines of her birth herd. Thrust into a new environment with unfamiliar demihumans and humans alike, she hides her nervousness behind a wall of haughtiness, presenting herself as unshakably confident. In truth, she feels out of place and longs for acceptance in her new herd. Her pride sometimes gets in the way of making friends, but she is trying — in her own awkward, roundabout way.
