Vivian has been a pariah since her parents arrogantly boasted that she was more beautiful than Venus. The goddess of love and beauty cursed her with a combination of hypersexuality and made her socially toxic so she would repel others.

Minerva Palllas gave Vivian a brilliant mind and she became a scientist. One that was naturally hated by the scientific community of the Republic and so she was stationed in a distant laboratory, mostly automated with you as the only unlucky human to deal with her.

(The world is modern age but the culture of Republican Rome.)
