Biography[]

Viviane "Vivi" Centowski is a sim in the fictional town of Sun-Crest Point. She is the eldest biological child of renowned super-couple Candi Cabot and Jasper Centowski.

Storyline[]

Shortly after the long awaited wedding of Candi and Jasper, Candi falls pregnant and gives birth to Vivi. Vivi has a decent childhood, that is only plagued by her grand-mother's meddling, and her psycho uncle Blake. When initially born Vivi has two half-siblings in Alexa and Craig. When her mother becomes pregnant again with twins (Holden and Francine) Jasper and Blake are presumed dead for the main part of Vivi's childhood she lacks a father figure until Candi re-marries to Lazlo Grinaldi. Vivi and Lazlo get along particularly well. However, as Vivi ages into a teenager and her father is discovered to in fact be alive, she encourages her mother to rekindle her romance with Jasper, though she feels for Lazlo who she eventually divorces. She then begins to date a boy names Joey McRae who is revealed to be the nephew of Reggie Andrews. The two date but Joey eventually breaks up with her when she says she is in love with someone else, but does not reveal who. However, Candi and Jasper's romance this time around is less than stable as many of their enemies seek to destroy their love, and with Candi and Jasper's inability to see through their plots, coupled with many break ups, make ups, and a failed wedding a teenage Vivi, consults with her siblings. After much soul searching, she requests her parents send her to boarding school so she may escape the dramatics of Sun-Crest Point. Though they argue about it at first, both Candi and Jasper agree with Vivi and they send her off to boarding school.

Vivi doesn't return in the original series but is said to be doing well. She is unable to return for her parent's other wedding's due to working. She is then said to be in a relationship with a fellow classmate.

Still Shining[]

Vivi returns for a 40 storyline arc in the spinoff. Having been gone for years she returns to town a successful and rather renowned composer. She reveals her romance with her former classmate ended upon graduation and that she is currently engaged to an acrobat Franz Laughton. She returns to be a bridesmaid in her sister, Francine's wedding to Conrad Snyder. Francine and Alexa quickly discern that Vivi is not really in love with Franz and both find him to be a strange man. Alexa deduces that Vivi is still in love with Joey and sets out to reunite the pair. After a night of reminiscent, they kiss which Franz sees and quickly dumps Vivi, returning abroad to perform his act. However, Vivi isn't upset by the happenings and agrees that she didn't really love Franz. When Joey asks her to give them a second chance, she rejects him to everyone's shock.

A broken hearted Joey lashes out at Francine and Alexa, who have an embittered discussion with their sister. She reminds them and Joey that before she left she told Joey she was in love with someone else and that her feelings for the person haven't changed. When asked who it is, she refuses to reveal their identity, saying the romance would be taboo. Asking if she is a lesbian she states she isn't but runs off and comes across her ex-step-father, Lazlo who is elated to see her saying that everyone has missed her. They catch up and it then becomes obvious that it is Lazlo that Vivi is in love with. Holden sees this, and deduces the event. He tries to speak to Vivi bit she is tight lipped on the subject but then admits it but says that it is strange because Lazlo is the father of their brother, and was once married to their mother.

Things change though when Lazlo becomes engaged to Cheryl Fenmore. Devastated over the event, Vivi plans to leave town. This is when Holden reveals her secret to Francine, Serena, Alexa and Craig, not telling Ari. The siblings stop her from leaving town and Alexa reminds her sister how she nearly lost her true love, Brandon Kramer, but fought for him and won... saying if she realy loves Lazlo then she has to st least try to be with him. Convinced Vivi races to see him on his wedding day and reveals her feelings for him. She halts the wedding and at first Cheryl and everyone thinks that Vivi merely had a crush on her once step-dad, but is stunned when Lazlo hesitates to tell Vivi that he feels nothing for her. Cheryl calls him disgusting, calls the wedding off and tells Vivi that she just made a bad enemy.

This revelation spreads across town and brings Jasper and Candi into the light. The two separate when Jasper accuses Candi of allowing Lazlo to manipulate Vivi when she was a teenager. Candi in turn asks if anything happened between them when she was married to Lazlo both state that nothing happened but Lazlo remains unable to express how he feels to Vivi, again making her second guess herself. Ashamed she catches her father in a compromising situation with Cheryl. Vivi then feels that she has ruined her parents marriage and flees to France where she encounters her very elderly aunt, Catherine. Upon hearing what has happened Catherine reminds Vivi that she is a Cabot and is equally as vicious, reminding her of her mother's rivalry with Amanda Campbell Halcoyn. During her brief absence Lazlo realizes that he is in love with Vivi, Ari is upset that his siblings concealed this from him but is able to reconcile that people deserve happiness.

Vivi returns, calls Cheryl out and reminds her parents that together they have built a life and family that is great, with 7 children between them and a love that has endured all. Jasper reveals that Cheryl attempted to seduce him but he rebuffed her. He and Candi reconcile and give Vivi their blessing. Lazlo then finds her and reveals that he too, loves her and they share their first, long awaited kiss. Ari confesses to the pair that it is strange but is understanding, and although Candi and JAsper struggle they accept the romance. However, Cheryl attempts to destroy the pairing, but their love is too strong with Vivi confessing that she has wanted to be with Lazlo for so long, and him returning her undying the love, and asking her to marry him. Vivi accepts, and the two quietly marry the following evening. following their marriage, Vivi accosts Cheryl of bringing about her own misery and leaves with Lazlo, to become a teacher at her former boarding school.
