FEARS :
- Losing more family members, and heights.
SECRETS :
- She doesn't really care about blood status, and only pretends to in order to please her father. She's also not as evil as she pretends to be.
WEAKNESS :
- Aggressive and stubborn.
STRENGTHS :
- Cunning and energetic.
OVERALL PERSONALITY :
- CONSTANT ACTRESS -- Viv is always putting on a show. She's not as evil as her father or other purebloods would like her to be, and she does actually have a heart. But she's always acting meaner than she truly is, and pretends to be a pureblood elitist.
- HOT-TEMPERED -- She's definitely got a bit of a temper and it's not always hard to set her off. And when angry, she can be pretty aggressive and feisty.
- STUBBORN YET IMPRESSIONABLE -- Viv is very hard-headed for the most part, but if her defenses are down (like around her father or when she's really upset) then she can be fairly impressionable.
- CUNNING -- Though not totally evil, Viv is still pretty devious, and she's cunning enough to pull a lot of stuff off if she puts her mind to it.
- INTELLIGENT -- She's smart and a good-problem solver.
- NOT EASILY STRESSED -- Viv can keep her cool in normally stressful situations. When in danger or in a similar situation, she's able to keep calm and think clearly in order to get herself out of trouble.
- CALLOUS -- She may act meaner than she really is, but Viv is still not the nicest person. She can be callous and hard to get along with sometimes, especially if she's in one of her "moods."
- SELF-SERVING -- Viv isn't really arrogant, per say, but she's almost always putting herself before others. It's all about self-preservation and watching her back.
- SECRETIVE -- Her father always taught her that in order to be safe, she needed to be secretive -- no blabbering her heart out to people if she's not absolutely sure they can be trusted. And generally she doesn't talk about her mother, and definitely doesn't tell anyone that she actually has a heart or that she doesn't mind Muggles and Muggleborns.
- ENERGETIC AND OUTGOING -- She's definitely not bubbly, but she's got a lot of energy and is generally a happy person. She's always been a very outgoing and social person as well.

OVERALL HISTORY :
[/size]The story of Donovan and Alecto Harcourt is a rather common one, starting with two young adults being tossed into a marriage neither one of them wanted to be in. Naturally it was because of their parents wanting to preserve the bloodline. Donovan didn't take well to it at all. He was the party type who didn't want to settle down at a young age, and in fact he refused to let the marriage get in the way. He constantly cheated and partied, even when his parents got increasingly frustrated with him. Eventually they threatened to cut him off from his inheritance if he didn't shape up, and so he cut back on his immature ways. He stopped partying as frequently and became more discreet about his affairs. He also took up a job at the Ministry that his powerful father had secured for him, and soon enough he was in Interrogator for the Wizengamot. Alecto was quite the opposite. Raised to be a lady, she was always proper and dignified, and very mature for her age. Donovan always found her to be rather boring, but to the rest of the family she was the epitome of a perfect pureblooded woman. As a result, she pressured Donovan for children, because it was what their parents wanted, and she wanted to please them. Donovan didn't particularly care, so he obliged. About two years after their marriage, Alecto gave birth to the twins, Vivienne and Alexander. The twins were always loud, and Donovan and Alecto had their hands full... with the cash they were handing over to the nannies that did all the work.
Donovan continued having all his secret affairs, which got less and less secret over the years as he cared less and less. He left clues around, like condoms in his work briefcase and ladies' underwear that managed to find it's way into their beds while Alecto was out of the house. But Alecto never cheated on her husband. She did however complain about his cheating to all her friends while they sipped tea at fancy cafes. Alecto was a dutiful wife but not the best mother. She was always rather rigid and emotionless, and preferred being out with the other pureblood wives than at home caring for her children. About a year after the twins came another sibling, a sister for Vivienne and Alex. She was named Sapphira and became the last of the Harcourt children. At that point Alecto decided she'd had quite enough of childbirth, and so carried on with her life without further pregnancies. Meanwhile, the twins and their sister went through a series of nannies, none of which stuck around long, since the children were so hard to handle. Eventually they found a very strict nanny who refused to put up with the kids' nonsense. Her harsh treatment made the children respect her, but only a little. And Alecto was satisfied, since she wanted her children to be proper like her. Donovan paid very little attention to his children at all, even less than Alecto. His time was spent seducing random woman and working long hours at the Ministry. The only time they were all together as a family was when they went to all the balls and other special events for the pureblood social circle.
Vivienne never particularly liked these events. Her parents were abstract figures to her, and so she rarely thought of them as meaning much. She continuously acted out, though calmed down a bit once they had found Bertha, the nanny that refused to be driven out. Bertha was a fan of whacking the children with her walking cane if they misbehaved, so the children became fairly eager to stay on her good side. Plus, she was really the closest thing they had to a mother, since their biological mother was rarely present. However, things slowly began to change. When the twins were nine, their father's brother was killed. Donovan was very close to his brother, so the loss hit him hard, especially since the killer was never found. It was always just assumed that it was an Order member, since the brother had been a Death Eater like the rest of the family. At this point, Alecto did her best to comfort Donovan while he was grieving... and it brought them rather close together. And in time, they accidentally fell in love. It was extremely unexpected, especially to their children. But as a result, they began spending more time with each other, and even with their children. For awhile, they were a real family. Sure, it was still a pretty dysfunctional family, but it was a family nonetheless. Bertha the nanny was still around, but needed less frequently. Now that Donovan was paying more attention to his children, he decided it was time to start teaching them more about the Dark Arts. Of course they were never able to actually perform the spells. But Donovan taught them the incantations and about potion ingredients, and of course he instructed them about pureblood elitism.
Everything was going well. Vivienne showed her first sign of magic at age five, when she'd hit her brother in the head with a potted plant for annoying her. Alex had also showed magic at a young age, so it was really no surprise when they got their acceptance letters to Hogwarts when they were eleven. That fall, they twins went off to the school. Vivienne was very promptly sorted into Slytherin, and Alex was sorted into the same house. The first few years were rather uneventful for Vivienne. She made friends easily and made sure to have independence from her brother, although she remained very close to him. Their sister joined them a year later and was sorted into Slytherin also. Things were going well, and being in the castle was a blast. But naturally, the good life didn't really last. The summer after Vivienne and Alex's fourth year, Alecto fell extremely ill. It started with a fever, which they thought was no big deal. But the disease worsened over time, and it grew to the point where they'd waited to long, and Alecto could no longer be cured. Over a period of only a few weeks, Alecto's condition worsened dramatically. She went insane, and stopped being able to recognize her own husband and children. After an extremely tough couple months, Alecto passed away, leaving behind a heartbroken husband and three devastated children. Vivienne handled the situation poorly. As soon as she returned to school she began rebelling. She'd always been a trouble-maker, but now it was extreme. Her grades slipped, and she began drinking quite a bit. Thankfully she still somehow managed to pull herself together enough to get decent marks on her OWLs, but she was still a wreck.
As time passed, and the grief lessened, Vivienne began to recover. She leaned on her siblings heavily for support, and managed to do very well on her NEWTS. Some of her friendships had suffered from her period of depression, but she didn't seem to care. Vivienne became a bit more callous and cruel, throwing herself into her studies of the Dark Arts, especially after she'd already graduated. She became tougher and stronger, and was still angry that her mother had been taken from her. But she had nobody to blame for her mother's death, so the anger built with no direction to send it in. Eventually this became very useful once Vivienne had become a Death Eater. All her pent up rage and natural aggression made her pretty cruel and sadistic. But she learned to channel it, and became a very neat and careful little monster who was very good at being discreet and cleaning up her messes. She became a lot closer with her father, who continued her education in Dark Arts and helped get her into the Death Eater organization. Vivienne got a job at the Daily Prophet as a journalist because she did want a career outside being a Death Eater. She did well at her job, thanks to her intelligence, and also excelled at being a Death Eater. Her relationships to her father and siblings remained strong, and she also got closer to her cousins -- the good ones at least. There were a few bad members of the family that were shunned, but for the most part all their relatives were like them. Vivienne is now nineteen and has been out of school for nearly two years. She's relatively happy with her life, though she still misses her mother.
