Warning, Mention of Violence, Abuse, Death, Drug/Alcohol addiction/use

Born to a troublesome pair, Liliana and Shane Pride, She wasn't a planned pregnancy and wasn't meant to happen but her mother decided to keep her, despite her situation she wanted to be a mother. Viper was originally named "Vivien" and would go by this name for majority of her childhood and teenage years. As she got older she was quickly exposed to domestic violence and abuse from her parents arguments and drug abuse amongst many other things, her parents constantly clashed and argued which often upset the younger child but she quickly learnt to hide her emotions and in general hide away due to her parents going from yelling at each other to her due to the crying. She'd find some sorta relief from home as she started school, she didn't go to anything fancy just a normal school and she focused on her studies and surprisingly got good grades and proved to be quite the student. She was well behaved at school though it was clear she wasn't fully okay and mentally from what she experienced at home was developing disorders here and there, such things that would effect her as she got older. This only worsened as Vivien learned at this was a world you couldn't be yourself in as when she let in people she was betrayed or bullied for certain aspects, even the clothes she wore she was bullied for. So this led to Vivien making her life a lie.

She grew to hide away further and from learning the manipulative behaviours from her parents they leaked into her behaviour with other students as she manipulated those around her, acting innocent and putting up a facade that she'd do nothing wrong where she'd lie and get things she wanted. Her internal suffering eventually started coming out-ward as she reacted negatively towards other students but nothing ever came to it due to her high grades and innocent appearance she put on. The once preyed on now becoming the predator. While she was loyal to her friends around her and had tried her best to be nice, she was quick to lose a temper towards people and in a single moment she'd go from liking someone to hating them as she ended up developing into the early signs of mental disorders.

As she entered high school, Vivien ended up getting into drugs and alcohol and got into worse groups then she was originally apart of. Seeking the illegal substances as a way to get away from everything as she was still at this point in life dealing with her mothers and fathers arguing. Her love for animals seemed to grow during this as the young teen would go out of her way to mess around with dangerous snakes as most of the things she did was out in the bush and this would fuel a love for snakes as time went on. It wasn't until her 3rd year of high school that her mother decided to leave the country, taking her daughter with her and ended up going to The City of San Andreas of Los Santos. A large city which much to do, somehow to escape. And Escape she did. A few weeks into the small vacation the 15 year old packed her things and left and began a life of small crime in the dodgy areas of the city. Using her manipulation and intelligence to trick others into thinking she was some poor, innocent girl. Most fell for it, which led to her gaining a small income. Some people even offered homes and food for her and she jumped couches, leaving the previous people once they tried to make her stay more.. permanent. Or give her responsibilities. She didn't a new family or a home. All she knew about family is what her parents had shown.

Vivien would end up bouncing back onto her love for snakes at this age and dove into the black markets when she was finally exposed after dealing drugs and what not and from the snakes she ended up collecting she was given the nickname; 'Viper' which would stick and she'd go by that. She constantly moved from different areas of the city and when she turned 18 she changed her name to Viper officially.

She'd eventually find a group to call her own as she went into the poorer areas of Los Santos more constantly and even rented an apartment outside Southside, there she'd do a few drug deals and eventually meet gang members who took a liking to her. She met a gang leader named Darnell Whitescale and the two hit it off quite well, taking Viper off-guard as he flirted with her. She'd learn gang life from him and would become exposed to his hostile nature pretty quickly and soon enough she was a member and was dating Darnell. She was later blooded in by an OG named 'Witch' and Viper would prove to be a helpful member of The East Side Ballas. Viper and Darnell would end up falling in love and would get into a twisted marriage, the two having different life styles and different meanings of love, they clashed often but it worked once they got over their bumps.

Viper would lead beside Darnell for quite some time before disappearing for a bit and coming back to a different leadership of ESB and it wasn't long till the members there drove her out, leaving behind her non-faithful husband and best friend; Onyx. She'd later become a hang around for Devils Disciples MC and would go as high as becoming a enforcer before she drifted back to old habits. Viper ends up returning to a new form of the ballas; KTB and after a talk with Darnell she returned to them and quickly went up the ranks to becoming an OG. She and Darnell have moved past everything and are quite close friends and she'd do anything for him for the support he's given her after all these years and she seems content with the family she's made.
