When Vivica was 14 year old her father send her to the forest to bring woods for the
fire as she was doing almost every day. As it was getting darker a sudden blizzard
descended upon the land and the forest turned into an en endless sea of white. Vivica
then for the first time felt helpless but then she noticed a white bunny standing
between the trees unbothered by the snow and it was looking at her as it wanted her to
follow. The bunny led her through narrow paths and Vivica as she kept moving she
realized just like the bunny she wasn’t the strongest or largest but she could be quick,
clever and determined. After a while she stepped out of the trees and she recognized
the landscape near her village. When she turned back to see the bunny it was already
gone only she could she the faint pawprints in the snow. She returned home safe and
sound and she told the story to her parents, her mother said “the bunny is a symbol of
cleverness, speed and quite courage. It didn;t fight the storm it found a way thourgh it,
like you did. The bunny chose you and you chose the bunny from now on embrace
those qualities and let the bunny be your guide.”
 Gods or Myths: Vivica had always admired Freyja, the goddess of love, beauty, war
and fate, ‘cause always her mother was telling stories of Freyja’s strenght and wisdom
and Alis every time before a battle she prayed to Freyja. When the davastating raid
happened at her village and Vivica saved her mother at the last moment from the
enemy she whispered a prayer to Freyja “Freyja, I ask not for victory, but for the
strength to protect those I love. Help me save her”. Vivica then looked up the sky and
saw a falcon, its golden wings gleaming in the winter sun (Freyja often said to take the
form of a falcon) and she knew at that moment that the goddess had heard her prayer.
She always felt a deeper connection to Freyja but from that moment that she was
100% sure that Freyja heard her she did a sacrifise for her and she whispered a vow:
“Freyja, I devote myself to you- not for power, but to protect life, as you do. I will
fight for those who cannot fight for themselves, and I will bring hope to those who
have none”.

7. Role in Ragnarok

 Purpose: Vivica at the beginning hesitated cause she wasn’t driven by the thirst of
glory, she wanted to stay and protect her people in her village, but when those people
gathered to discuss the call, they reminded her that if Ragnarok came, no village, no
spring and no future would remain, that’s when Vivica understood that this was more
than a battle, it was a fight to preserve life itself.
Her role in Ragnarok is always adaptable she is first of all a shieldwoman as she is a
really good warrior, she was always protecting her loved ones, but at the same time
she is Hamadr. She has amazing communication skills that;s why her clan trusted her
 to be their channel to the gods. From her nature she is a person that she can always
keep everything in balance.
 Personal Challenge: Vivica’s fear is that she may not be enough, that no matter how
hard she fights, she cannot prevents the Ragnarok. She needs to find a way to
reconcile her fear of failure with her belief in renewal and life’s ability to endure.

8. Relationships

 Allies and Rivals: For Vivica all the people that have the same purpose when they
fight together are allies. She does not discriminate but if someone acts behind her back
automatically becomes her rival.
 Family or Loved Ones: For Vivica family and loved ones always comes first even
after herself, that’s why `she is fighting first for them and then for the hope.

9. The Perfect Warrior

 Vision of Perfection: A perfect warrior for Vivica is more than just a skilled fighter.
The perfect warrior for her fights not for glory or personal gain but for a greater cause,
whether it’s to protect their people or to ensure a better life and future. Strenght
without purpose is meaningless as Vivica always saying. Also, Vivica does not believe
that a perfect warrior is fearless, she admires those who know their fears yet still press
forward and of course she admires those who know when to show mercy.
Furthermore, she wants all true and good warriors to use their mind as a weapon, to
think quickly and to adapt to changing circumstances. Last but not least, for Vivica the
most important is trust. For her the perfect warrior is the one who keeps its word and
never betrays those that they fight alongside.

10. Signature Quote

 What words define your warrior? Vivica is a character very optimistic and who
believes that always better days are gonna come especially if you fight for them so she
couldn;t have any other moto except from: “ When the frost is deepest, spring is
closest” Even in the darkest moments, hope is always near.
