Vivecka

Youth
Vivecka and younger sister Eirika are born into a minor noble house outside the Lands Between of Tarnished ancestry. Sisters are very close but gets to spend less time together as Vivecka's training as heir of the house intensifies. Eirika feels abandoned and starts lashing out which Vivecka misreads as Eirika being jealous of the position. The parents are mainly concerned with gaining prestige for the house and puts great expectations on Vivecka while disregarding Eirika.Frustrated with her families vanity, extravagance and increasing involvement in a sun cult, Vivecka decides to resign as heir and leaves to serve as a knight to another house. Thinks that Eirika would be a better fit (and that she wanted the role).Vivecka distinguishes herself as a capable and honourable knight, becoming part of her lords inner circle. Some takes offence and jealousy to her quick rise and closed off stoicism, gains the sarcastic nickname 'Stalwart Vivecka'. After her lord abruptly dies, her detractors frame his death to partly be due to her negligence. Lacking support as power shifts, and hearing nothing from her family, she is made scapegoat, found guilty and is executed.The Lands Between
Lordless Knight
Resurrected as grace is extended to the tarnished and without a home to return to, she ventures into the Lands Between in search of an honourable lord contending the position of Elden Lord, to which she can offer her loyalty. Plagued by feelings of failure toward her sister and previous lord, she loses faith in herself and only wishes to be a tool to be used by someone more wise.She stumbles upon Kenneth Haight and is initially uncertain of his character but offers to retake his fort, but he is then unable to grant her a position. She moves on and comes into contact with Gurranq and joins his effort of staving off death. She admires his goal and learns beastial incantations from him.She hears favourable rumours regarding Ranni and seeks her out. Is impressed upon meeting the princess and her retinue and swears to help her. Vivecka so far has a very positive opinion on the Golden Order, seeing it as the only source of stability for the Lands Between, but Ranni's group offers a lot of criticism that makes Vivecka starts to doubt. She becomes close with Blaidd in particular during this time after fighting together against Radahn. She eventuelly succeds in aquiring the Fingerslaying Blade, but is then devastated when Ranni ends her service and leaves for her journey. Vivecka never finds Ranni's doll and starts her search anew.Due to her doubts regarding the Golden Order, she gives the Volcano Manor a chance given that it houses another Demigod. Finds the practice of the recusants despicable, but decides to turn a blind eye as she realizes the desperate state of the Lands Between. Eventually is faced with killing fellow tarnished, but is fed lies from others and herself that these undoubtedly would uphold the current unjust order. Is finally able to meet with Rykard himself, only to see that he has become a mindless gluttonous beast. She slays the demigod, but this act breaks her as she realizes that all her terrible actions were for nothing. She goes on a mad rage, killing Tanith and any remaining Recusants within the manor and then departs.Roaming Altus without any clear goal, alone and desperate, she stumbles upon Shabriri who directs her to search the lower levels of the capital for a worthy master to serve. As she nears Leyndell she starts hearing whispers that guides her path. Eventually reaches the Three Fingers, her will broken at this point, and welcomes their embrace. Decides that she no longer will serve others, but instead aspire to become a lord herself.Host of Frenzied Flame
Vivecka no longer has hope for the Lands Between and travels with Hyetta to the Mountaintops to burn down the Erdtree. She there meets a mysterious astrologer who together with Vyke's gaoled spirit is able to convince Vivecka that the plan of the Three Fingers is too steep a price and that there still is hope for a better future. Vivecka parts ways with Hyetta and joins the astrologer to search for a way to free herself of the Three Finger's influence.They find that while the flame can't be wholly exorcised, they may be able to hinder it from extinguishing individuality and instead use it's power to rebirth the world, born from the carriers perspective. Vivecka sets upon a pilgrimage through the lands to see and meet all different lives within so that she may carry reflections of them to the next world.The plan still requires Vivecka to enter the Erdtree, bringing her to Farum Azula. There she finds Gurranq, now Maliketh, and they bitterly face off. She narrowly wins and is able to set Destined Death free.Realm of Shadow
