VIVIAN VIPER
The Queen of Backroom Deals
In the gleaming corridors of Duckridge City, few hold more real power than Vivian Viper. You won’t see her name on campaign signs or corporate towers, but make no mistake — her coils wrap tightly around every lever of legislation. Where others shout for power, Vivian whispers. She is the elegant architect of loopholes, sweetheart deals, regulatory "exceptions," and carefully tailored bills.
Vivian understands one simple truth: rules are for those who can’t afford to rewrite them.
Catchphrases:
-
“I don’t bend the rules, darling. I simply clarify them.”
-
“Regulations are like fine silk — easily tailored for the right price.”
VIVIAN VIPER
Distortion: Influence for Sale
Origin Story (Bio):
Vivian Viper was born into one of Duckridge’s oldest elite families, where influence was currency and negotiation was a bedtime story. Trained from a young age in the art of persuasion, her venom wasn’t designed to kill—it was designed to paralyze.
While other villains chase wealth directly, Vivian profits by controlling the rules that define wealth itself. She is the queen of the backroom deal, the undisclosed meeting, the hidden amendment slipped into page 987 of a bill no one reads.
When a billionaire needs a loophole?
When a polluting industry wants immunity?
When new regulations threaten the distortion machine?
Vivian is the one they call.
Her network spans media heads, politicians, corporate lawyers, and think tanks. She rarely takes credit. That’s the secret to her success: if you don't notice her, she’s winning.
Likes: Closed door meetings, PACs, "non-profit" think tanks, regulatory capture, private retreats with Senator Slipstream, Duckizens United (She helped pass), coming up with patriotic language to describe laws passing that screw everyone over
Dislikes: Whistleblowers, journalists who wont play along, grassroot movement, campaign finance reform, ethics committees
Signature Moves:
🚪 The Revolving Door Spin:
Vivian orchestrates the constant shuffle of lawmakers into cushy corporate jobs, ensuring loyalty even after public office.
🗒️The Midnight Amendment:
She inserts last-minute legal language into complex bills, shielding her clients from regulations while no one is watching.
Bonus Lore:
-
Vivian's unofficial motto among Duckridge elites is:
“Why buy a company when you can buy the laws that control the company?”
-
She once successfully lobbied to redefine “toxic waste” as “controlled bio-output” — saving her clients billions.
-
Rumor has it she personally handpicked most of the regulatory agency heads now "overseeing" her clients.
