Viva formerly lived in the northern region of the Tangled Wood. During migration to the Emberglow Hearth, her clan was attacked by a clan of centaurs. This caused the clan to scatter, and Viva found herself alone. Injured and afraid, she limped her way to the darkest regions of the Tangled Wood. She was later found by Dis, and quickly taken to Teres Obfucia, where she's made herself at home since.

Viva is said to have a calm personality, and is considerably level-headed. She hasn't given up her search for her birth clan, though she loves Teres Obfucia. Her commitment to the clan lurking in the Wispwillow Grove is a bit torn. While she loves her new-found clanmates, she deeply misses her old clan, to the point that she can become a bit depressed and even violent if she thinks about it for too long. To keep herself busy, she and her familiar, Stri, make candles.

At one point, she and Arvriel were in a relationship. Viva loved her children, but they left her. Some went in search of the Emberglow Hearth for themselves and ended up in accidents, some died of illness. After losing her children and the envy of Seraphim, Viva no longer can look at Arvriel. She feels very guilty when she does so, and she falls back into the same depression she had when they first left her.
