Canon Background

Vivi's background actually starts with another character, Kuja. Kuja is the villain of the game, typically power mad, wants to take over the world, etc. etc. In his pursuit of this and in cooperation with Queen Brahne of Alexandria, he manufactures black mages, intending them to be soulless dolls with the ability to wield enormous magics. Vivi comes in as the prototype to these mages, and as such is both more powerful and longer lived than they.

Vivi himself, however, does not initially know any of this. He grew up in a secluded cavern with a Quen as his adopted grandpa. When he was nine years old his grandpa died, and he struck out on his own. The first place he reached was the city-nation of Alexandria, where the aforementioned Queen Brahne ruled. Amidst plays and kidnapping and fighting, Vivi became caught up with Zidane - the protagonist - and company, embarking on an adventure to, in standard Final Fantasy style, save the world and everyone in it.

Along the way he learned the secrets of his creation, as long as one other horrifying fact: there is no way to tell how long he will live. The other black mages simply stop after approximately one year of existence, and are thus dead; but Vivi, as the prototype, has already existed for nine years without difficulty. He might stop at any moment, or he might live forever. This gives the poor little kid quite a bit of angst, as one might imagine, aside from his preexisting tag line: "How do you prove you exist...? Maybe you can't..." The word that canon gives to summarize Vivi's character is sorrow, which is not entirely inaccurate.

Personality wise, Vivi is indeed rather depressed. He can't classify himself as human, and for a long time wasn't even certain he technically exists; as well, there's that might-die-at-any-moment thing to set him back. He stutters and hesitates often in his speech, nervous about upsetting others and completely unused to the world at large. He is the epitome of sheltered, but despite that, is very resilient, and has keen insight for a nine year old. He is also, despite his immense kindness, not a saint. He cannot forgive Kuja. In fact he hates him, and rather shamefully prefers him dead.

Friends are everything to him. Zidane, Garnet, Steiner, Eiko, and everyone else - they are what kept and what keep him going. He values them incredibly, and as a young orphan thinks of them as family. Vivi is innocent in the extreme, but despite that is not afraid to use violence. He is a black mage of immense power, one of if not the most powerful character in the game, and capable of doing 9999 damage in the final fight. One would never think this at first, not while looking at how adorable he is, and ordinarily Vivi wouldn't dream of threatening anyone. But if he sees a need to defend himself or someone else, he is more than capable of doing so, and is willing to face the consequences.
