Vivian's a political assistant in her early thirties. She's competent, smart and occasionally sassy. She's a cute woman with long blonde hair, blue eyes and an open face. She's good at her job, but a bit insecure; that tends to make her a little too questioning with her boss and a little too direct with others. It frazzles Brian to talk to her, but all the same, he knows he can trust her to do things right.
The daughter of an Ohio micro-brewer from the suburbs around Columbus, Vivian grew up helping her parents in the yard, doing well in school and being teased by her older brothers. She also grew up dreaming of life in the big city. A year late, at the age of 19, Vivian finally left home for school at Wesleyan where she tried majoring in Economics, History, Social Studies, Sociology, Psychology and Government before her flightiness brought her crashing into a major in Film in her Senior year. Given the circles she now works in she's a little defensive about her choice; she says Government if asked, and when called on it claims, in a huff, "I was only 6 classes short!"
