appearance
Featuresโ โฆโ Standing at 5' 6", Viviana possesses a lithe figure with long legs and graceful curves, carrying herself with feline confidence, where each step is unhurried and deliberate. Her complexion is smooth and tanned, never losing its golden undertone despite decades avoiding the sun. Her hair falls in thick, glossy sheets of black, reaching her waist in soft, fluffy waves, which she fusses over religiously. Her eyes are dark espresso brown, heavy-lidded and long-lashed, and capable of shifting from sultry amusement to icy contempt in a heartbeat.
Wardrobeโ โฆโ Viviana loves fashion and expensive garments, which means she is almost always dressed in her best, no matter the occasion. She'll often wear snug, black gear and a bedazzled leather jacket on motorcycle rides, fitted, flashy dresses when going out to the club, and fashionable tops that show some skin for casual wear. She typically favors wearing black, white, red, purple, and animal print patterns, as well as high heels or polished boots.
Accessoriesโ โฆโ She almost always wears some form of gold jewelry, either in the form of layered bracelets, several rings, dainty necklaces, or earrings. She has several lobe piercings and a tongue piercing made of gold and enchanted lapis lazuli. Tramp stamp tattoo tbd.... Her makeup is almost always immaculate: blushed cheeks, sharp eyeliner, dark and glittery eyeshadows, and glossy lips that are perpetually shaded in hues of cherry, wine, or plum. Her signature perfume is a blend of cherry, vanilla, and jasmine.
history
TL;DRโ โฆโ A small-town girl who fell in love with a stranger passing through. She was convinced to go with him to NOLA, but was attacked by him and a group of vampires on the side of the highway. Was found on the cusp of death by Orion and turned into a vampire herself, and she has since become a staple member of the Knight Riders with plans for revenge.
Viviana Solares grew up in a sleepy town, tucked deep in the marshes of southwestern Louisiana, where everyone made their living at the fishing docks or in sugarcane fields during mosquito-bitten summers. Viviana hated it. Even as a little girl, she knew she wanted more than this slow, unremarkable life; she clipped glamorous women from magazines, painted her lips with stolen lipstick, and spent hours imagining herself somewhere brighter than the muddy bayous.
At age twenty-eight, she was still stuck in her hometown despite all her dreaming. However, she'd soon meet a handsome and charming man, unlike anyone she'd ever known. He was a traveler named Jesse Davenport, passing through with stories of Bourbon Street, smoky jazz clubs, and a city that never dimmed. He made New Orleans sound like a paradise, and he made Viviana believe there was a place for her within it, at his side. When he asked if she'd come back with him, she didn't hesitate for a moment, and she left home with a single suitcase.
TW: violence, vague mention of assault, abandonment.
Unfortunately, her joy was quickly shattered when her new lover pulled off the road on an isolated stretch of highway, where she learned about the existence of vampires and that there was a hungry group of them waiting in the nearby darkness. Jesse was never going to deliver Viviana to New Orleans alive; she'd simply been easy prey, and what followed was an act of unimaginable cruelty. Assaulted, fed upon, and left broken nearly beyond recognition, the vampires discarded her body in the marshes, believing blood loss, exposure, or wild animals would finish what they'd started before sunrise.
The overwhelming scent of blood off the side of the road found Orion Jameson first; he'd trailed after it, expecting to find a corpse, and was instead led to Viviana, where she was barely clinging to life with shattered bones and hollow breaths. He had intended to put the poor girl out of her misery with a swift death, but between her relentless will to survive out of spite and the seething, incandescent hatred in her gaze, he hesitated. Instead, Orion offered her another option: he could turn her into a vampire himself, and she could one day take revenge on those who had harmed her. After Viviana's agonizing transformation and recovery, the pair struck a deal where he would teach her the foundations of vampirism, so long as she joined and helped the Knight Riders.
Her first act of revenge came a few years after being turned: hunting down and killing Jesse, the man she had loved, who then betrayed her. He hadn't remembered her, but she made certain he did before slowly ending his undead life. However, she was not satisfied, as the other vampires who'd also taken part in her assault still lived. Many were protected by alliances and the strength of their own gang; killing more of them would invite retaliation the Knight Riders simply couldn't survive,
yet.
As the Knight Riders' treasurer, Viviana amassed wealth, invested and recruited, manipulated bankers, businessmen, and vampires alike, and did her part in transforming the group into a significant motorcycle club known by name throughout New Orleans. The majority of members think Viviana's obsession with money and power is purely greed, but only Orion (and perhaps a few others) know the truth behind her motivations.
Viviana has never forgiven the monsters who tried to leave her nameless in a swamp outside the city, and she intends to eliminate every last vampire involved in the attack, as well as any others that'd retaliate, with the power of the Knight Riders behind her. (Rival MC may need a name, hummm...)

- Viviana rides a black and maroon 1100cc Honda Shadow; it's not the fastest bike out there, but she thinks it's sexy. She also occasionally enjoys riding as a passenger with people she trusts.
- Claims she doesn't really miss being human, but she'll occasionally catch herself reminiscing about things she can no longer enjoy (mostly food and drinks).
- Loves feeling fancy by drinking blood from a crystal glass.
- Viviana has a pretty incredible memory, which she uses to hold obnoxiously long grudges, recall debts and favors someone owes her or the club, and swiftly remember the details of the Knight Riders' finances.
- Viviana enjoys the concept of romance and love, but she is too afraid of seeking it out for herself due to her trauma (oh no.... if only there were hotties around to show her it's safe to fall in love
).
- Older vampires seem to be genuinely surprised when they learn that Viv has been a vampire for less than 30 years; she carries herself with such confidence, and vampirism seems to suit her extremely well, to the point she comes across as having been undead for much, much longer.
- Viv has only returned home once after being turned; seeing her patient father alone in the small trailer he raised her in left her heartbroken. She has not returned since, but she frequently sends him money and messages. She is unsure of how he views her disappearance, but hopes he does not worry much anymore.
- Has a rescued black cat she named... tbd. >_>
