Vivian has gone through several redesigns since the last time I pixelled her, but I think I finally found a look I'm happy with. In the end, the only things that didn't change were her eyes and skin.

Name: Vivan (Ortega) Mason
Nicknames: Viv
Age: 20
Sex: Female
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Affiliation: Mason Family (Hunters), Locklear Wolf Pack
History: Vivian was born in Alicante, Spain, to two Moorish parents. They were both killed by a ghoul when she was a young child. Witnessing their deaths traumatized her, and she refused to speak to anyone (this happens again once she's gone through the trauma of changing and being part of a pack that wants nothing to do with her, but lasts only a couple weeks). Her adoptive father, Jackson Mason, offered to train her as a hunter and takes her to America. As she grew stronger, she begins to recover. He teaches his children pragmatism (though twisted by his own bias), but hers develops differently from his, and they begin to clash. His breaking point is when she fights her brothers over their "playful" murder of Jim's father, to the point they have to knock her out. (They eventually use her as an excuse for their act.) A week later she's bitten by a Wolf and abandoned by the Masons. Due to legalities, she's taken in by the Locklear Pack, but is ostracized. Eventually, she begins exhibiting signs of severe depression and PTSD, and Jim takes pity on her. She manages to find a niche in the pack, and later a boyfriend. She attends the same school as Jim, as an art major, due to having all her tuition paid by the organization that licenses hunters (unnamed as of yet). Once she's no longer a hunter, she's forced to drop out, but her teacher hires her as her TA due to their close relationship and Vivian's talents.
Personality: Vivian is a very guarded person, and very introverted. She isn't easy to trust other people, but once someone has earned her trust she will become unerringly loyal to them, almost to a fault (if betrayed, however, she will almost never trust them again). She is very used to routine, and major life changes can rattle her to the point of panic. She suffers from both depression and PTSD from her past experiences, and is sometimes unable to handle her really bad episodes on her own. She is used to being by herself, but will become dependent once given constant attention and affection. Due to her clingy-ness, her skin, and her mentality, she has a very low view of herself as anything but a good soldier. She is eventually helped by her first genuine friend, Mary (later revealed to be one of Jim's ex-girlfriends) to improve her self-image and confidence. 
Miscellaneous
 Vivian speaks Spanish (first language), English, Latin, and German. Due to her years of silence as a young child and the first words out of her mouth afterwards being English, her accent has almost completely faded. She surprises the Locklears when she admits she knows Spanish, as they had been using it to gossip about her in front of her. 
 Vivian has focal-pattern Vitiligo, which shows in splotches on her face, neck, right shoulder, right hand, the right side of her rib cage, and around her right breast. Her brothers always joked that living with them was "turning her white." She hated those jokes.
 She also has several scars on her abdomen and thighs, one of which includes a gunshot wound she received from one of her older brothers, David, stupidly playing with a gun and accidentally pulling the trigger.
 She's trained in kickboxing and close combat, but she prefers guns, as she is a nearly expert marksman.
