As a child she grew up with wealth alongside her older sister Venetia. She's also claims to have competed in championship riding in her earlier years. It was also in her youth that she and her sister learnt that her father had been unfaithful to her mother.
As adults, before they lost their fortune and began selling everything they owned, they had hosted a party in which their maid, Margaret Mehar was hypnotized by Georges Rondeau to act like a chicken. Regina, Margaret's daughter, had been seen running around the house during the party-- afterwards prompting Viviana to admonish Margrett for her poor parenting skills, before ending the argument by slapping her across the face.
Several days later, after being told by Detective Kenneth Rijkers of Margaret's murder, Viviana kicked Regina out of the house.
Current Events[]
Twelve years went by and a day after she spoke with newly widowed Regina, she welcomed her younger half-sister Verdi Botticelli along with Venetia. She gave Verdi a dress to borrow before taking her to Georges' show where she asked Basil Garvey for a ring before introducing the man to her younger sister. After he spends the evening focusing on Verdi, she rips the dress off the girl before storming off.
The next day she is invited to a séance at Regina's and she is the only one to attend. At the séance, she is tricked by Georges into giving away an old trinket of her mother's before watching as Regina was possessed by Alistair Simcoe. When she returns, she learns that Verdi had been in a room alone with Basil. This angers her so she whips her back before bringing in Dr. Melanda Israel to treat the girl. Once she was better, she along with Venetia take Verdi to the Queen's Chamber to get Salomé to photograph Verdi so they could sell her to the highest bidder.
On Valentine's Day, she grows angry when she learns that the chocolates that had been delivered were not for her but for Verdi. Her anger grows when Basil comes to get Verdi. A few days later, she threatens Verdi with selling the girl over and over again.
On the afternoon of Georges' last show, she and Venetia get into a fight when the girl is made his assistant. She later attended the show and watched as she was sawed in half by Georges. Unfortunately for her, the key was found on her person, causing her to be arrested. Upon her arrest, her hair is shaved off, with the woman claiming lice.
A few days later, she is approached by Regina who reveals to her in prison that she was the Widow. As she was stuck in prison, she spoke with Kenneth who offered her an out if she testified against Basil Garvey, to which she refused, resulting in her staying in jail.
