Vivi: Difference between revisions

'''Vivi''' is a minor character from [[Twilight Town]] who appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. He is a member of [[Seifer]]'s [[Twilight Town Disciplinary Committee]], along with [[Fuu]] and [[Rai]]. Unlike the other members, he originates in ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy IX|Final Fantasy IX]]'', making him one of two ''Final Fantasy'' character in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series not originally designed by {{w|Tetsuya Nomura}}, the other being [[Setzer]].

In the [[simulated Twilight Town]], Vivi enters the [[Struggle]] competition. He is possessed by a [[Dusk]], granting him incredible combat prowess, allowing him to advance to the semi-finals and defeat Seifer. [[Roxas]] faces him in the final match and defeats him, causing the simulation to freeze and the fake Vivi to reveal its true [[Nobody]] form. When the simulation begins again, the real Vivi awakens, with no memory of his possession. Later, while investigating the [[Seven Wonders]] of Twilight Town, Roxas is attacked by fourteen copies of the fake Vivi in the tunnel near Sunset Hill. Another version of Vivi appears after Roxas defeats the copies, and though he acts normally, reveals himself to be a Dusk as well after Roxas leaves.

In the real Twilight Town, Vivi is often seen in the woods, practicing his Struggle technique. When [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] return to Twilight Town, Vivi is the first person they see, fleeing the sandlot and calling for help.

Vivi is not shown to possess any special abilities or skills in his normal incarnation. However, when possessed by a Dusk in the simulated Twilight Town, he is capable of multiple special abilities and techniques in battle. In addition to greatly increased speed and strength, the fake Vivi can float in the air, enlarge his Struggle bat, and use magic to augment his physical attacks.

[[finalfantasy:Vivi Ornitier|Vivi Ornitier]] was one of the main protagonists of ''Final Fantasy IX'', the final main game in the series to be released for the original PlayStation. He is one of many mass-produced Black Mages created by the main antagonist, [[finalfantasy:Kuja|Kuja]]. Most of Vivi's conflicts come from his own lack of self-belief, fearing his own powers and easily being led astray by lies. However, the one thing that haunts him the most is his real identity, often questioning his own existence as his race initially appears to be soulless with a fatally short life expectancy.

*Vivi is the only Struggle participant in the simulated Twilight Town that Sora cannot fight in the real Twilight Town.
