'''Vivenna''' is an [[Awakener]] and eldest princess of [[Idris]] on [[Nalthis]].
 
== Appearance and Personality ==
Described as beautiful by her sister [[Siri]]{{book ref|wb|1}}, Vivenna is the tallest of the Idrian princesses.{{book ref|wb|2}} As a member of Idrian royalty, she is descended from a [[Returned]] and thus is capable of changing the color of her hair, canwith changeconscious coloreffort basedor onsubconsciously to reflect her emotionsemotional state.{{book ref|wb|51}}
 
In the beginning of the novel, Vivenna wears a simple grey dress and keeps her hair in a knot, due to her strict adherence to Idrian beliefs. She maintains a solid black color in her hair.{{book ref|wb|1}} As the novel progresses and she finds herself in [[T'Telir]], however, she begrudgingly begins wearing more colored and revealing dresses out of practicality. She cuts off her hair to sell it{{book ref|wb|39}} and is never mentioned growing it back. By the end of the novel, she wears thick trousers, a tunic, and a vest, all different shades of blue, and carries a sword at her waist.{{book ref|wb|43}}
 
=== In T'Telir ===
Vivenna left her home and attempted to rescue Siri from her marriage with [[Susebron]].{{book ref|wb|9}} After arriving in T'Telir, she looked for the Idrian's informant, [[Lemex]]. Instead, she met [[Denth]] and [[Tonk Fah]], who were posing as mercenaries. They led her to Lemex, who had not advised her father that he was deathly ill. Before his death, Lemex transferred his [[Breath]] to Vivenna against her will, bringing her to the Third [[Heightening]].{{book ref|wb|10}} Lemex's mercenaries told that their contract with Lemex lasts and she was their new employer.{{book ref|wb|13}} Unbeknownst to the princess, they had the ulterior motive of inciting conflict between Idrians and the Hallandren for their true employer, the [[Pahn Kahl]] scribe [[Bluefingers]]. With their "help", Vivenna spent many weeks in T'Telir inadvertently stirring the Idrian community into a rebellion against the [[Court of the Gods]].{{book ref|wb|43}}
Vivenna was later kidnapped by [[Vasher]], who was seeking to prevent the mercenaries from realizing their goal, but escaped back to their safehouse, where she was exposed to the truetruth purposeof sheher hadtime beenwith usedthe formercenaries after seeing [[Parlin]], Idrian soldiers, and various animals' corpses and encountering the mercenaries as they truly were.{{book ref|wb|35}} Once again, Vivenna escaped to the streets, but not before losing many of her [[Breath]]s in a futile attempt to Awaken a cloak. On the run, she became a drab to avoid detection in the Idrian slums, where she was forced into poverty, but kept a shawl that held the Breath she still owned.Eventually, she was nearly captured by Denth's hires, but was rescued by Vasher.{{book ref|wb|37}}{{book ref|wb|41}}
 
In unfamiliar situations, and with her worldview shattered, Vivenna decided to begin learning to Awaken from the grizzled [[Returned]], learning much more quickly than most others due to her statusexperiences as an Idrian Royalroyal. Vivenna and Vasher worked together to repair some of the damage she had wroughtcaused in the company of Denth and Tonk Fah.
 
As events climaxed in the Court of the Returned, Vivenna took action and helped prevent the start of another Manywar. After reuniting with her sister, Vivenna chose to travel with Vasher and participate in his adventures, beginning with his investigation of [[Yesteel]]'s return.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}}
