| '''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 ''{{ff|Final Fantasy IX}}'', making him one of two ''Final Fantasy'' characters in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series not originally designed by {{w|Tetsuya Nomura}}, the other being [[Setzer]]. | | '''Vivi''' is a Final Fantasy character that makes a debut in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. He originates from ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy IX|Final Fantasy IX]]'', although he is more weak-willed here. He is one of [[Seifer|Seifer's]] gang's members, and the only member not from ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VIII|Final Fantasy VIII]]''. |

| In [[The Other 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]], and [[Goofy]] return to Twilight Town, Vivi is the first person they see, fleeing the sandlot and calling for help. | | ''In spite of all that, Vivi likes Seifer and admires his strength.'' |

| ==Design== | | ==Story== |
| Vivi is a short, squat boy with inky black skin, glowing yellow eyes, and no other discernible facial features. He wears a sky blue coat with elaborate, dark blue stitching at the edges, secured by a tan string tied around four yellow buttons, though still opens to expose his pitch black torso. The white cuffs of this jacket are oversized and sport similar lining to the rest of the jacket, though brown instead of blue, and the sleeves cover half of his hands, which are themselves covered by brown gloves. The jacket also sports two large pockets on the front, each kept closed by a vertical white strap connected to a sky blue button. His pants are green and held up by a brown belt, and his shoes are brown with several raised tan stripes. | | ===''Kingdom Hearts II''=== |
| | In the simulated [[Twilight Town]], Vivi enters the [[Struggle]] competition at the beginning of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. His data soon became possessed by a [[Nobody]] and he gains incredible powers. He easily defeats Seifer with his fast movement speed and [[Roxas]] must battle him. After he is defeated, time will freeze and Vivi's data will reveal its true form to be a [[Dusk]]. After the Dusk is defeated, the real Vivi appears, wondering how he got here. Roxas later fights fourteen Vivis (created by [[Nobody|Nobodies]] hacking the system) in a tunnel. Here, again, the "real" Vivi appears, and after Roxas and company move away from the tunnel, it reveals its true form to be a Dusk. After that Vivi will be seen with Seifer for the rest of the game. |

| His large, tan hat resembles a face, with a large open zipper resembling a mouth in the middle of the hat, and two "eyes" just above this, shaped like a pale green star on the left and an oblong shape on the right. Above this, the hat flops over and curls. Near the brim is a wide brown strap, and on one side is a tear or seam that has been stitched with brown cord.
| | The oddity of his Struggle battle (such as his enlarging his Struggle Bat) may be a homage to the [[finalfantasy:Black Magic|Black Magic]] that he uses in ''Final Fantasy IX''. Furthermore, the fact that he is used by the Nobodies (non-existent beings) is also a blatant reference to his original Final Fantasy incarnation, who was driven to find the meaning of his own existence. |
|
| |
|
| ==Personality==
| | Unlike the rest of Seifer's group, Vivi doesn't dislike Roxas and the others and is even quite friendly to them, always speaking in a polite tone and even offering Roxas his Struggle club when he was done training, although it is revealed that when Vivi does this he is actually a Nobody in disguise. So this may not be the mannerism of the real Vivi. |
| Unlike the rest of the Disciplinary Committee, Vivi is quiet, polite, and friendly. He is kind to Roxas in the simulation, offering to let him use his [[Struggle bat]] and secret training area for practice. He admires Seifer's strength, and though he trains to be as tough as his friends, he is far from a fighter. The fake Vivi's skill in the Struggle tournament comes as a surprise to the people of Twilight Town, and alerts Seifer that it is not really his friend. In the real Twilight Town, Vivi flees from the Sandlot in fear, calling for help while the rest of the Committee stays to fight. | |

| Vivi is not shown to possess any special abilities or skills in his normal incarnation. However, when possessed by a Dusk in The Other 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Origin==
| | In battle he can use many techniques. He can use his club to hammer down on his opponent with lightning speed. He can magically float in the air. He can use "Haste" where he does three very fast rising magic attacks. Finally he can cast "Flare" where he enlarges his club and does many spinning hits with his club that ends with a powerful magic blast. In the real Twilight Town Vivi is often seen in the woods. He is the one that informs Sora that Seifer is attacked by [[Nobody|Nobodies]]. |

| {{ff|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, {{ff|Kuja}}. Most of Vivi's conflicts come from his own lack of self-confidence, 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.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *Vivi is the only Struggle participant in The Other Twilight Town that Sora cannot fight in the real Twilight Town. | | *Vivi is the only Final Fantasy character to be from ''Final Fantasy IX''. |
| | *Vivi is the only Struggler from Roxas's [[Twilight Town]] that [[Sora]] can't fight in the Struggle Battle in the real Twilight Town. |
| | *Vivi's appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' was criticized by many players because of the huge difference between his design in ''Final Fantasy IX'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'' which features many elements not included in his original incarnation, which do not reflect his personality. |
| | *Curiously, Vivi is the only Final Fantasy character appearing in Kingdom Hearts not originally designed by Tetsuya Nomura himself. |
