Vivienne is extremely bitter and resentful at what she perceives as the selfish actions of the rebel mages. Note: Vivienne must be recruited before starting Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts, as the option will no longer be available afterwards. Vivienne is briefly mentioned by Empress Celene, who considers speaking to "Madame de Fer" about Lady Cosinne de Montsimmard's familiarity with the Circle of Magi.

Vivienne is also a connoisseur of fashion and was dubbed "the jewel of the high court of Orlais." Īfter the Circles revolted Vivienne became the de facto leader of the Loyalists when she rallied those who took up arms against the mage rebels. She was voted First Enchanter of Montsimmard at an age young enough to cause scandal. Her reputation kept growing after becoming Court Enchanter, and she was eventually given the moniker Madame de Fer, the Lady of Iron, a name that indicated her place as both a respected and feared member of the court. Nearly every fraternity clamored for her favor in hopes of having a representative at the empress' ear.

While the position had always been regarded as little more than being a glorified court jester, Vivienne managed to turn it into an advisory position to the Empress despite the official ban prohibiting mages from holding political power.

The nobility continued to stew in their opposition until 9:20, when the newly crowned Empress Celene chose Vivienne as her court enchanter after a single meeting with her. Several bards were sent to make an example out of her half of them were returned to their employers frozen solid while she persuaded the rest to work for her instead. Their relationship caused a huge scandal at the time because of Vivienne's status as a mage. In short order, he invited Vivienne to several parties held at his estate, and by the start of summer she had a suite of rooms in his house from which she conducted most of her Circle business. Bastien paid her a visit in Montsimmard just a few days later, accompanied by a small army of florists bearing armloads of peonies. There, she caught the attention of Duke Bastien de Ghislain, who spent all evening dancing only with her, slighting a number of powerful nobles in the process. Vivienne was among the envoys from Montsimmard. Īt the Imperial Wintersend Ball of 9:16 Dragon, mages from the White Spire and the Montsimmard Circle were invited to attend the festivities and entertain the court. In a shocking move, she elected not to join any Fraternity when she became a fully-fledged enchanter. She was already an exceptional scholar and showed early promise at the Game. She was transferred to the Montsimmard Circle at the age of nineteen. She was taken to the Ostwick Circle at a very young age, where she became one of the youngest full-fledged mages in Circle history.
