Vivian was born in Edgware Hospital, London, England to Thomas Aldis and Aoife Aldis. She had a twin brother and younger sister who she was very close with until she was 12 years old when "the incident" happened. She has always had a natural affinity with animals, always finding she preferred to spend her time with them over other people.
Viv and her siblings were split up and put into foster care, where she was never adopted and left the system at the ripe old age of 18. She moved to Leicester, England, and started doing security work for clubs around the town. At the age of 20, she got a job as a prison guard at
HM Prison Leicester. She spent some time making her way up the ranks of the Prison before studying more to work in Prisons abroad.
At the age of 24 she was looking to leave England, and was offered a job as Warden of Alderney State Correctional Facility, Liberty City, USA. She brought her two dogs, Luna and Benji with her to the state and stayed as Warden for 3 years before moving to San Andreas to take up a job as a Ranger. On her first day in the city, she was picked up by serial killers Ying & Yang who attempted to take her life and was saved by Head Ranger Charlie Morgan and Hornet Beverley which encouraged her more so to join the San Andreas Parks Department.
After a couple of months, Viv met Raymond Ashburn when he joined SAPD. Upon getting closer to Raymond, she decided to break the promise she made to herself to never get close to someone and entered a relationship with him. In the months that followed, Ray left the state to get Mental Health support and their relationship sadly deteriorated. During this time she met Woodrow Chopper, becoming closer to him. After New Years her relationship ended with Raymond, and in the February that followed she entered a relationship with Woody.
Just a couple days after starting their new relationship, Viv was kidnapped whilst on duty by a group of people. She was taken to an office in Del Perro and tortured. For 2 days she suffered and lost half of a limb in the process. She has never fully recovered from this, now suffering from bouts of PTSD that she hides from everybody as much as she can.
Since being part of the Ranger Division in SAPD, she has really come out of her shell even though she's been in circumstances that have scarred her, both physically and mentally. One situation left her with the word "INJUSTICE" forever disfigured into her left forearm and another has left her with a prosthetic on her lower right arm.
