Biography: Vivian Danielle Marsden was born, along with her twin brother Nicholas Brenden Marsden, to Janine and Jacob Marsden one snowy December evening. Having already had three children before the two of them, Vivian and Nicholas were perfect with the way they were delivered and she had no complications with their birth. Early on, the two of them showed curiosity and a bond that connected them in more ways than one.

As they got older, Vivian and Nicholas were practically inseparable; they were ready made best friends and they took that title very seriously. The two of them stuck together through the toughest times of school, though it was usually Vivian taking up for her brother because he wouldn’t hit a girl. Nine times out of ten, if you saw one of them? You saw the other not far behind. Even as children, they had reflexes that were a little better than most. Five years after their birth, a younger sister was brought into the world. Marie Marsden. While Nicholas and Vivian accepted this change easily enough, like with their other siblings their bond wasn't quite as close with her as it was with each other but they still protected her and more fiercely than their older siblings. Even as they got older, they never quite showed any displeasure in having their baby sister attached to their heels though they were more careful to prevent her from being harmed.

At the age of ten, Vivian and her brother begged their parents to put them in karate. From there, they began to learn different moves and ways to defend themselves. It also helped Vivian’s at the time explosive temper, it helped her find a way to calm herself more so.

Once things began to change for the two of them, they found themselves being ripped apart in a sense by school. Neither were exceptional at it, but that didn’t mean there weren’t certain things that pulled at them. Vivian joined track; Nicholas joined the basketball team. Together their combined schedules began to take up more and more of their time so they had little for each other. However, despite this? Somehow they managed to make time for each other despite all of the other friends.

After high school, Vivian went to college to learn more about her chosen profession: art. Her brother, Nicholas, went off to save the world. Of course this meant that they were often separated for long periods of time but Vivian’s inherent protective nature when it came to her brother never ended. While in college, Vivian had got married; the marriage lasted for about four years and the last year was spent going through a divorce. She took her surname back and, upset with the end of her marriage, she called the one person who had never failed her: her twin brother. Upon hearing the news, Nicholas immediately dropped what he had been doing and took the red eye flight back from China to be with his twin since she needed him, as far as he was concerned, more than the animals did at that point.

After that the last time she saw him he was on a crusade to save the tigers, something that Vivian found that she has a deep connection with in a sense and she snapped someone’s arm who threatened her brother like it was a twig. This surprised her and she left quickly. It was a habit to protect her brother, but the fact that the arm felt like a twig and she hadn’t actually done anything to break his arm scared her.

She returned to New York and to her teaching job at a local high school. She’d remain there and teach art to the kids who enjoyed it and took her classes. She preferred it that way and she’d remain under the radar. Despite the extra abilities she seemed to have picked up, she tries to live her life as normally as possible.
