Vivian Applegate

Vivian Applegate is a half-elf friend of Carl Cooper and a member of the Applegate Family. Because of her elf blood, she is around the same age as her peers, yet is unable to keep up physically, hence why she always resembles a middle-aged child. She is the shortest of Carl's friend group, yet is not the youngest.

Vivian was sorted into Gryphon House at the start of her first year due to her love of nature, and became part of Carl's friend circle during an Herbology lesson when she was Carl's partner for repotting mandrakes.

Physical Appearance
Vivan is short, thin and pale-skinned, with long, flowing teal hair with leaves scattered throughout it, pointy elf ears, a pointed elf nose, golden eyes and a necklace made of beads that resemble various apples. She wears various outfits, but her signature one is a cute little apple green dress with puffed sleeves and a wide skirt with a white apron. Most of her outfits have her barefoot, as is custom in elf society.

For sleepwear, she wears a long emerald green child-sized plush robe, again with bare feet. She also removes her leaves at night.

In her school uniform, she wears a brown collared blouse with a yellow ribbon tied through the collar, a yellow Gryphon House blazer with the Solaris Academy insignia, a pleated yellow miniskirt, brown knee socks and black Mary Jane shoes. This is one of her few non-barefoot outfits.

Personality
Vivian is inarguably the nicest member of Carl's friend group, as she rarely shows any snark or brattiness whatsoever and is very polite to almost everyone she sees (except for evil things, of course). She is also a friend to all living things, including animals (which explains why she has so many pets). Her main flaw, however, is that bullies easily push her around and she is unable to stand up for herself most of the time. As the series progresses, her friends help her become more assertive rather than passive.
