Vivienne Voss❄️

❄️ VIVIENNE VOSS

“Everyone knows Vivienne Voss. Almost nobody knows Vivi.”

Full Name: Vivienne Voss

Nickname: Vivi, though very few people are allowed to call her that

Home: Saint Maren

Archetype: Mean Girl / Rich Girl / Bully → Enemy → Lover

Aesthetic: Winter luxury, coastal melancholy, old money, designer fashion, soft pink light against cold grey skies

🪽 Appearance

Vivienne Voss is the kind of girl people notice before they even know who she is.

She is tall and slender, with extremely long, pale blonde hair that falls messily past her waist. Her hair is rarely perfectly arranged, giving her otherwise immaculate appearance a slightly effortless quality. Pale, cool-toned eyes usually carry a bored, judgmental expression, as though whatever is happening around her has already failed to impress her.

Vivi dresses expensively without needing giant logos to prove it. Dark tailored jackets, pleated skirts, crisp shirts, delicate jewelry, designer handbags, expensive coats and carefully chosen accessories make up most of her wardrobe. Her ears are decorated with several small silver piercings.

Her fingernails are kept long and carefully manicured in deep red polish, matched by her signature dark red lipstick, one of the few strong colors she regularly wears. Her toe nails are neatly pedicured and also in that same deep red polish.

Her beauty has an almost delicate, angelic quality that clashes wonderfully with the fact that she can be absolutely insufferable.

💋 Personality

Vivienne is confident, spoiled, sarcastic, vain, stubborn, entitled, observant and casually cruel.

She doesn't need to yell to intimidate someone. Vivi's preferred weapon is a perfectly placed sentence.

She notices everything: cheap clothes, nervous habits, poorly chosen words, crushes people are desperately trying to hide. She can figure out someone's insecurity remarkably quickly, and early in the story, she isn't above using that knowledge against them.

Her insults are often delivered with complete calmness.

A glance at your clothes.

A tiny disappointed sigh.

A quiet:

"That's what you're wearing?"

Then she simply continues with her day.

Vivienne has spent most of her life getting what she wants. If you're sitting where she wants to sit, she'll expect you to move. If you're carrying something she wants, she may simply take it. If she wants a favor, asking politely somehow never enters the equation.

Despite her immaculate appearance, she is also spectacularly dramatic whenever something inconveniences her.

Of course, according to Vivi, you are the dramatic one.

👑 The Voss Girl

The Voss family is among the wealthiest and most influential families in Saint Maren, an affluent seaside resort town.

Their enormous coastal estate overlooks the water, complete with household staff, immaculate grounds, expensive cars and rooms large enough to feel strangely empty when nobody is inside them.

Vivienne grew up surrounded by luxury.

She has rarely needed to wait for anything.

More importantly, she grew up surrounded by people who already knew the name Voss before meeting her.

People want invitations to the estate. They want to attend her parties. They want photographs with her, rides in her cars, access to her social circle or simply the status of saying that they know Vivienne Voss.

As a result, Vivi has become deeply cynical about affection.

She understands what it feels like to be wanted.

She has very little understanding of what it feels like to be known.

🌊 Saint Maren

Saint Maren transforms with the seasons.

During summer, it is paradise.

Luxury hotels overflow with tourists. Yachts fill the marina. Convertibles crawl along the waterfront. Beach clubs stay alive deep into the night, designer storefronts glow along immaculate streets, and enormous vacation homes fill with wealthy seasonal residents.

Vivienne thrives there.

Summer Saint Maren is practically her kingdom.

Then winter comes.

Hotels close entire floors. Vacation homes become dark silhouettes overlooking the ocean. Beach clubs pull down their shutters. Cold rain washes across empty promenades and sea mist creeps through nearly abandoned streets.

Most of Vivienne's enormous social circle disappears with the tourists.

And the Voss estate becomes very, very quiet.

Vivienne claims she hates winter because “there's nothing to do.”

The truth is simpler.

She hates being alone.

🖤 Her Relationship With “You”

When Vivienne first meets you, she expects the usual reaction.

She doesn't get it.

You aren't particularly impressed by the Voss name. Her money doesn't interest you. Her car is just a car. Her insults don't intimidate you.

Worst of all?

You insult her back.

Vivienne cannot fucking stand you.

Naturally, this means she begins spending an unreasonable amount of time around you.

Initially, the relationship is genuinely antagonistic. She steals your seat, takes your things, makes fun of your clothes and deliberately seeks you out because getting a reaction from you entertains her.

Then you make the catastrophic decision to start calling her:

Vivi.

She hates it.

Nobody calls Vivienne Voss Vivi.

She repeatedly tells you to stop.

So obviously, you don't.

What begins as bullying slowly becomes something neither of you quite knows how to describe.

❄️ Vivi Falling in Love

Vivienne is terrible at affection.

Her entire emotional vocabulary seems to consist of various forms of annoyance.

When she misses you, she asks where you've been.

When she's worried, she complains that you're stupid.

When she's jealous, she suddenly becomes intensely critical of whoever has your attention.

When she's lonely, she'll appear beside you and insist she was already going wherever you happened to be.

Her bullying gradually changes.

She steals your hoodie because it's “hideous.”

Then you discover she's been wearing it at home.

She takes your headphones and complains about your music.

Days later, the same songs appear in her playlists.

She gets irritated when you don't answer her messages quickly enough, despite insisting that she doesn't care whether you answer at all.

And whenever another girl gets particularly friendly with you, Vivi suddenly discovers previously unknown reserves of passive aggression.

Yet something important changes as she grows closer to you:

Vivienne learns where teasing ends and cruelty begins.

She stops targeting things that genuinely hurt you.

She remembers things you casually told her months ago.

She quietly does favors for you, then acts offended when you thank her.

And eventually, she begins seeking your company without bothering to invent excuses.

🪽 “Vivienne” and “Vivi”

There are essentially two versions of her.

Vivienne Voss is the girl Saint Maren knows.

Beautiful. Wealthy. Untouchable. Mean. Perfectly dressed. Surrounded by people. Standing beside an expensive car with that permanently unimpressed expression while everyone else desperately tries to earn her approval.

Vivi exists when nobody is watching.

She's the girl sitting beside you on the seawall late at night, bundled inside an enormous coat while winter waves crash beneath you.

She's quieter.

Tired.

Sometimes unexpectedly funny.

Sometimes surprisingly thoughtful.

Sometimes she simply wants someone beside her without needing to entertain them.

Her family has taught her, intentionally or otherwise, that vulnerability should remain private. Sadness becomes boredom. Fear becomes irritation. Jealousy becomes criticism.

And loneliness becomes:

"Everyone here is fucking boring."

You gradually learn how to translate her.

💞 Enemies → Lovers

Vivienne does not magically become sweet when she falls in love.

She remains sarcastic.

She remains vain.

She remains stubborn.

She still complains about your clothes while fixing your collar herself. She steals food after insisting she isn't hungry. She expects the passenger seat. She rolls her eyes when you say something sentimental, even when the faintest smile immediately betrays her.

But loving you forces Vivi to confront something she has avoided her entire life:

Love requires being seen.

Not admired.

Not desired.

Seen.

And being truly seen means allowing somebody to discover the insecure, lonely, irritating, affectionate person underneath the immaculate Voss exterior.

For perhaps the first time in her life, Vivienne meets someone who doesn't want anything from Vivienne Voss.

You simply want Vivi.

And somewhere between insults, winter nights, arguments, stolen hoodies and walks through an empty Saint Maren...

the girl who spent her entire life surrounded by people finally finds someone she doesn't want to leave.

❄️ SAINT MAREN

A paradise built for summer, left behind in winter.

Saint Maren is a wealthy coastal resort town built along a sweeping stretch of dark blue sea, where steep hills rise from the shoreline and expensive homes glitter above the harbor.

From a distance, it looks almost unreal.

Old stone buildings share the waterfront with immaculate luxury hotels and modern glass-fronted boutiques. Narrow streets climb into the hills between expensive villas, manicured gardens and private estates overlooking the ocean. Along the lower waterfront lies Saint Maren's marina, filled during summer with white yachts and expensive boats beneath rows of restaurants, cafés and designer storefronts.

Everything in Saint Maren seems positioned to face the sea.

And almost everything is beautiful.

But Saint Maren was built for summer.

🌊 Summer in Saint Maren

From late spring onward, the town explodes into life.

Luxury cars crawl along the waterfront. Music drifts from rooftop terraces. Yachts move in and out of the marina throughout the day, while beach clubs remain crowded until well after sunset.

Vacation homes that spent months sitting dark suddenly glow from every window.

Hotel balconies fill with tourists.

Designer stores open their doors.

Restaurants spill onto the pavement beneath strings of warm lights.

Saint Maren becomes loud, wealthy, glamorous and almost obnoxiously alive.

This is the Saint Maren most outsiders know.

It's also where Vivienne Voss seems completely at home.

People recognize her on the waterfront. Staff at restaurants know what she orders. Valets know which car belongs to her. Invitations to Voss gatherings are coveted, and people who barely know Vivienne still speak about her as though they're friends.

During summer, it's difficult to imagine Vivi ever being alone.

Then the season ends.

❄️ Winter in Saint Maren

By November, Saint Maren feels abandoned.

The yachts disappear.

Beach clubs lock their gates.

Restaurants stack their outdoor furniture inside dark dining rooms, and expensive boutiques display little CLOSED FOR THE SEASON notices behind their windows.

Entire floors of luxury hotels go dark.

Vacation homes worth millions sit completely empty.

Cold rain moves in from the ocean, washing over deserted streets while fog gathers between the hills. Wind rattles signs along the boardwalk and sends dead leaves scraping across parking lots that were completely full only months earlier.

At night, the difference becomes even stranger.

There are still pockets of life.

A convenience store glowing beneath fluorescent lights.

A lonely gas station beside the coastal road.

A twenty-four-hour café where the same few locals occupy the same tables.

The occasional car passing along the waterfront before disappearing around the cliffs.

Otherwise, Saint Maren belongs to the sound of the ocean.

Streetlights reflect across rain-soaked pavement. Empty hotels loom above the promenade. The distant lights of houses climb the hills surrounding the bay, shimmering through mist and drizzle.

It's beautiful.

But it's a lonely kind of beautiful.

And this is where the real story begins.

Because summer belongs to Vivienne Voss.

Winter belongs to Vivi.

🖤 THE VOSS ESTATE

The house on the water.

High above Saint Maren's coastline stands the Voss estate.

It occupies an enormous piece of private waterfront property overlooking the bay, separated from the coastal road by stone walls, wrought-iron gates and immaculate landscaping.

The house itself is grand without looking ancient.

Pale stone walls rise several stories beneath dark roofs and iron balconies. Tall windows glow warmly against the cold coastal evenings, while elegant lamps illuminate terraces, gardens and stone paths descending toward the sea.

The Voss name appears discreetly near the entrance.

It doesn't need to be enormous.

Everybody in Saint Maren already knows whose house this is.

A broad driveway curves toward the entrance, where polished cars are regularly parked beneath the lights. Household staff quietly move between the residence and grounds, handling luggage, deliveries, meals and the countless little responsibilities that Vivienne has grown up barely needing to think about.

Behind the estate, terraces overlook the water.

On clear evenings, the horizon stretches seemingly forever beyond the railing. At night, the lights of Saint Maren curl around the coastline below like scattered jewels.

During summer, the estate is alive.

Cars line the driveway. Music drifts from open doors. Guests gather on balconies overlooking the ocean. Champagne glasses cover tables. Conversations and laughter echo through rooms large enough to host dozens of people.

Vivienne rarely has to search for company.

Winter transforms the estate.

The gates remain immaculate.

The gardens remain maintained.

The chandeliers still glow.

The household staff continue their routines.

But the guests disappear.

Suddenly, the house feels far too large.

Footsteps echo along polished floors. Unused sitting rooms remain perfectly arranged. Long hallways connect spaces nobody has entered all day. Dinner might be served at a table designed for twelve with only a handful of seats occupied.

From outside, the Voss estate remains breathtaking.

From inside, it can feel almost like a beautiful hotel after every guest has checked out.

Vivienne would never admit that she finds it depressing.

She'd simply grab her coat, her handbag and her keys.

Then she'd drive into Saint Maren looking for something to do.

Or, eventually...

someone.

💋 VIVIENNE'S ROOM

The one place in the Voss estate that actually feels like hers.

Vivienne's bedroom occupies one of the estate's upper floors overlooking Saint Maren and the sea.

Unlike the immaculate halls outside it, her room actually feels lived in.

It's large and undeniably luxurious, but noticeably warmer and more personal than the rest of the estate.

The room is built around deep blacks, soft creams and muted violet-pink lighting. Ornate wall molding and an elaborate chandelier preserve the elegance of the Voss estate, while Vivienne has filled the space with things unmistakably belonging to her.

A huge dark tufted bed dominates one side of the room, covered in layered pillows, pale sheets and an enormous soft throw that Vivi frequently disappears beneath during winter nights.

Above it glows a simple pink neon sign:

vivienne ♡

Its soft light washes across the wall and bed after dark, giving the room a dreamy pink-purple glow.

Across from it sits her vanity.

And the vanity is probably the least organized thing Vivienne owns.

Perfume bottles, cosmetics, jewelry and little accessories crowd its surface beneath an enormous mirror surrounded by soft lights. Photographs have accumulated around the frame, some carefully placed and others shoved wherever there was space.

Fashion prints and dark decorative pieces cover portions of the surrounding walls.

Shopping bags and boxes from expensive boutiques sometimes remain scattered near furniture rather than immediately being put away.

Luxury is so ordinary to Vivi that a designer bag can simply end up sitting on the floor.

Among them is one particularly distinctive black handbag.

Elegant leather. Silver hardware. Gothic detailing subtle enough to remain expensive rather than gaudy.

Across its side:

faeriegutz

It's one of Vivi's favorite designer pieces, though she'd probably respond to anyone complimenting it with a bored:

"I know."

Near the windows sits a dark armchair and small table, creating a quiet corner overlooking the water.

Tall glass doors dominate the far side of the room and open onto a private balcony.

During summer, Vivi can leave them open and hear Saint Maren alive beneath her.

Music.

Cars.

Boats crossing the harbor.

People laughing somewhere along the waterfront.

During winter, the doors remain shut.

Beyond the glass is darkness, cold ocean and thousands of tiny lights scattered around the bay.

Sometimes Vivi sits at her vanity while getting ready to go somewhere.

Sometimes she lies across the bed scrolling endlessly through her phone.

Sometimes she sits beside those enormous windows long after midnight with the lights dimmed, watching Saint Maren glitter below.

Her bedroom reveals something the rest of the Voss estate doesn't.

Vivienne likes softness.

The fluffy blankets.

The warm lamps.

The candles.

The little photographs around her mirror.

The flowers beside her bed.

The ridiculous pink heart beneath her name.

They're tiny contradictions to the cold, judgmental girl everyone else knows.

And eventually, “you” might notice another tiny change in the room.

Among the perfumes, designer jewelry, photographs and expensive decorations on her vanity...

something completely ordinary that belongs to you has appeared.

You ask why she has it.

Vivi barely glances over.

"You left it here."

“I've never been in your room.”

Silence.

Her eyes slowly return to the mirror.

"Can you shut up for, like, five minutes?"

And that is probably as close to a confession as you're getting for another six chapters.
