As Delano lacked a college of its own, Vivian went to nearby Ashford's ''CSUA (California State University Ashford)'' where she did a BA degree in Communications, with Digital Media emphasis. Whilst she did not participate in any formal athletics teams during her college years, she did get actively into paintball, where she discovered she was a naturally good shot (something which she accredited to many hours playing first-person shooters and an active childhood) and was a member of a local paintball league team ''"The Wolverines"''.

	A technophile from an early age, Vivian grew up having more of a social life online than in person, especially as Delano was an agricultural community and in high school was considered a geek, being interested in computer games, comics and movies - especially anime, which she fell in love with to the point where she learnt Japanese just so she could enjoy anime in their original form without dubbing or translations/subtitles. Her pep squad activities were probably the most ''real world'' social during this period of her life. These interests and her ''taking her ultimate form'' (a Dragon Ball anime reference) culminated during her time at CSUA, when she began getting heavily into Cosplay and eSports, both of which Ashford had some community she could interact with in person, in addition to the online communities she was already a part of. By the time she graduated from CSUA she had a sizable following on Instagram and Facebook as a digital artist, video gamer and Cosplay model, with thriving Twitch and YouTube channels, which became full-time jobs after graduation. Whilst most college students take around a decade to pay off their college loan debts, Vivian succeeded in paying it off within 2 years due to the success of her online activities and art commissions. By the time of her embrace ~~shortly after she was financially sound and~~ estimates ~~have~~ her ~~presently~~ coming close to ~~becoming a millionaire~~.		A technophile from an early age, Vivian grew up having more of a social life online than in person, especially as Delano was an agricultural community and in high school was considered a geek, being interested in computer games, comics and movies - especially anime, which she fell in love with to the point where she learnt Japanese just so she could enjoy anime in their original form without dubbing or translations/subtitles.

Whilst most college students take around a decade to pay off their college loan debts, Vivian succeeded in paying it off within 2 years due to the success of her online activities and art commissions. By the time of her embrace, current estimates had her coming close to making her first million.

	~~This~~ self-made success brought her to the attention of an Assamite Vizier masquerading as an Ashford Toreador who, although knowing enough about the Internet to stumble across Vivian's digital art on DeviantArt and then stalk her social media channels, otherwise struggled to understand modern tools and culture. Soon after Vivian was embraced to, in essence, be ~~his~~ tutor and personal assistant in these regards. Although she was not thrilled at being recruited into a clan of assassins, the cultural aspects of the clan (and especially her own Vizier caste) interested her and she trained hard (knowing that failure meant death, admittedly, was a great motivator) to make her sire proud and~~, although as a Vizier would not be expected to frequently take assassination contracts,~~ to be skilled enough to earn the grudging respect of even the warrior caste ~~- fortunately~~, her paintball and gaming experiences were good ~~groundworks~~ and she found firearms came easy to her. Whilst she learned some ~~other~~ martial arts, she truly excelled with firearms - whilst not enjoying the idea of ~~assassinating~~, she ~~developed an interest in firearms and~~ saw it as a ~~form or~~ sporting activity; especially as she'd always preferred playing a sniper in her online games, and now ~~she~~ had the opportunity to ~~do that off the computer~~. Again, the threat of being executed if she didn't become at least a competent potential-assassin was a great motivator; she just found a justifier she could use to self-motivate herself. Her final ''"test"'' to become a full clan member was to perform a contract kill (or be killed) and she not only succeeded, but she also earnt membership in ''"The Thousand-Meter Club"'' in the process. She does not like to talk about this, but claims (to non-Assamites at least) that it is her only contract kill to date and that she accepted the contract for someone she felt the world was a better place without.

Fortunately, her paintball and gaming experiences were apparently good basic groundwork and so she found learning firearms came easy to her and her natural hand-eye coordination. Whilst she has learned some adequate martial arts and melee skills, she truly excelled with firearms which, whilst not enjoying the idea of being an assassin, she saw as a type of sporting activity; especially as she'd always preferred playing a sniper in her online games, and now had the opportunity ''"to be one offline"''. Again, the threat of being executed if she didn't become at least a competent potential-assassin was a great motivator; she just found a justifier she could use to self-motivate herself.

	Since her embrace, Vivian masqueraded as a Toreador neonate who specialised in digital art and cosplay, which both proved beneficial to older kindred (who employed her to record their likeness into art, photographs and videos manipulated to appear taken during the daytime, aiding their masquerading) as well as making her some friends amongst the younger Toreador with similar interests. Of particular note, she became quite good friends with [[The 1337 5kw4d (WoD)#Member Profile: Ste4mG1r7 (Arisha Pirozhnikova)\|Arisha Pirozhnikova]], a young Toreador and fellow Cosplay and anime enthusiast. Vivian actually kind of resented having to lie about being a Toreador to Arisha, and was glad when she was able to eventually be open about her clan - and Arisha forgiving her (cryptically saying ''"we all have our secrets"'' - something Arisha has not commented on further ever since). After the 1337 5kwd was formed and moved into a communal haven, Vivian was given a formal invitation. Truthfully, Arisha had promoted her membership since the initial formal establishment of the coterie but some members (read: Willa) were reluctant. Ironically, it was [[The 1337 5kw4d (WoD)#Member Profile: K4mik3nzi22(Mackenzie 'Kenzi' Dubenenko)\|Mackenzie 'Kenzi' Dubenenko]] who managed to persuade Willa, pointing out that Vivian not only had Cosplay and anime interests with Arisha, but also shared Kenzi's love of gaming (especially FPS) - and having another kindred able to provide fire support (literally and figuratively) would be of benefit to the group; and people would be less likely to mess with the coterie if they knew there was an Assamite on board, as the clan was renown for being highly vengeful about attacks on their own.

	Red-blooded males are fond of making ''who is hotter?'' comparisons between SteamGirl and Kenzi, and indeed both women are strikingly attractive in vastly different ways. Whilst SteamGirl has greater natural girl-next-door prettiness, with voluptuous curves; Kenzi is the end result of an attractive young woman who has led an incredibly active lifestyle of constant activity, working long hours in retail and service, and evolved into a health, nutrition and fitness enthusiast who became extremely active in physical sports for many years. She has a pretty face, with a lovely smile, brown eyes and luscious brown hair that could sell hair products (and in the past, has), but her figure is finely sculpted to the degree that it can be considered a work of art in itself. So much so, that kindred who are aware that the coterie has a Toreador member frequently make the mistake of assuming that Kenzi is the Toreador as she typically takes better care of herself and is more immediately striking than SteamGirl, who is often wearing paint-covered and tattered overalls. SteamGirl has natural beauty from a naturally active life, whilst Kenzi has worked hard to make her figure the fitness perfection that it is. She has a slender but fit frame, with legs that go on for miles, ''just the right amount'' of abs and muscles to make her look perfectly toned, but not muscular, and a derriere that is constantly turning heads.

She has a slender but fit frame, with legs that go on for miles, ''just the right amount'' of abs and muscles to make her look perfectly toned, but not muscular, and a derriere that is constantly turning heads. If there is a stereotype image of Gangrels, Kenzi is typically far from it.

	People are unsure if Kenzi is the ''I'm sexy and I know it, and I flaunt it'' type of woman; or the ''I do what I want, wear what I want, and don't care what you think'' variety (which, considering she's a Gangrel, is more than likely). Whichever the case, when at home Kenzi is usually found wearing skimpy, stretchy sporting outfits, or quite commonly prancing around in comfortable/sporting underwear (she seems to have a large supply gained as benefits of her fitness modelling days). A solitary t-shirt over sporting underwear is her de-facto outfit at Elm Street House. When she goes out, she usually dresses appropriately for the situation - she's not beyond wearing a nice dress to an appropriate situation, and can look striking and elegant when she does so - but most of the time she favours casual clothing; jeans or denim shorts and t-shirt/blouse, or sportswear such as hoodie and pants. Her hair can vary between being kept loose, or tied in pigtails, getting fancier when there is a need.

	As you might expect for a house with six computer and IT experts living in it, there are many customised high-tech features, most of which are automated and/or can be controlled from mobile phone apps, such as bluetooth locks on the doors, CCTV and security systems, smart lights and sprinkler systems (so none of them have to bother with the chore of watering the grass, and they have a robot lawncutter), smart shutters and more. One of the two spacious living rooms has been turned into a Geek's heaven, as their idea of relaxation is either having a massive LAN party or watching movies - and so contains several gaming consoles and large 4K UHD screens. Although this would seem a naturally noisy and conflicting environment, the reality is that most of them when gaming prefer to use headphones (better sound experience), and only tend to have things on speakers when mutually participating in the activity.

Her early life was comfortable due to her father being a fibre-optics engineer, with Kenzi leading a healthy and active childhood.

By the time she was 10, Kenzi could name every most computer components and could set up a gaming rig on her own (which, of course, she actually did).

	Then one day her father died on the way home in a freak car accident, and life became a lot harder. Whilst America did give opportunities to immigrants, it didn't exactly much care for them either. ~~Money was~~ extremely tight ~~and~~ Kenzi ~~dropped~~ out of school and ~~worked~~ long hours at a coffee shop for the family to have enough money to put food on the table, and ~~for~~ her little brother ~~to receive his~~ education. The ~~only~~ fun Kenzi had were the nights when she went to be a derby girl and took her anger and resentment out on the opposing team. It was on one derby night that she was discovered by a talent scout who was impressed by Kenzi's physical fitness and exotic good looks, and convinced her to try her hand at fitness modelling. This shot off faster than Kenzi could have imagined! For a few years her modelling, combined with ~~supporting her modelling and~~ sporting activities on social media, gave her fame and a... pretty respectable... income. Enough to help feed the family, give her more time for her own pursuits (and computer games) and secure her brother's education.		Then one day her father died on the way home in a freak car accident, and life became a lot harder. Whilst America did give opportunities to immigrants, it didn't exactly much care for them either. You were only as cared for and important as you had dollars, and without her father's income money became extremely tight. Kenzi ended up dropping out of school and working long hours at a coffee shop for the family to have enough money to both put food on the table and be able to prove her little brother with the education Kenzi was sacrificing. The most fun Kenzi had were the nights when she went to be a derby girl and took her anger and resentment out on the opposing team.

Enough to help feed the family, give her more time for her own pursuits (and computer games) and secure her brother's education at least until her mother gained better employment that took the pressure off Kenzi.

	With her family secure, she decided to move to California, having become enamoured with it during some modelling trips there. There her modelling career excelled, and she even managed to get an ACE fitness instructor certification. When she wasn't modelling, she would work at a personal fitness instructor - whilst she enjoyed the relative freedom modelling gave, she knew that as she aged and her youthful looks left her, it would be harder to maintain unless she embraced it as a full-time and long-term career, heading into the catwalks of Milan and such places. It had ~~ben~~ fun, but modelling had been a means to an end, and she had little interest in it long-term. At heart she was a simple girl who ~~simply~~ wanted to be financially comfortable, and have as much spare time as possible for her two passions - computer gaming and sports.

At heart, she was a simple girl who only really wanted to be financially comfortable, and have as much spare time as possible for her two passions - computer gaming and sports.

	It was at this peak that she was embraced by Cindy Walker, who was very active in sport management and their paths had crossed on some occasions. Cindy had befriended Kenzi, who had been none the ~~wizer~~. When Cindy decided the time was right, she embraced Kenzi, which came as a shock to ~~her~~, ~~then~~ after a couple of weeks of Essential Grangrel Training, dumped her in the middle of Death Valley National Park without any money or weapons, and told her to get back to Ashford on her own.

It was at this peak that she was embraced by Cindy Walker, who was very active in sport management and their paths had crossed on some occasions. Cindy had befriended Kenzi, who had been none the wiser of her true nature, during a roller derby event they were both at. When Cindy decided the time was right, she embraced Kenzi without any warning, which came as a total shock to Kenzi. Then, after barely a couple of weeks of ''Essential Grangrel Training'', dumped her in the middle of Death Valley National Park without any money or weapons, and told her to get back to Ashford by her own means, or have a good final death trying. ''Suka!'' Avoiding the Lupines and other dangers, finding daytime shelter, and transportation for the approximately 220 mile journey was not easy, but she made it, and Cindy welcome her back with open arms. Then Kenzi punched her in the face. Strangely, Cindy just smiled, wiped her blood off her lip, and said, ''"like sire, like progeny."''

	Whilst becoming Kindred was a shock - and brought her modelling career to a fairly quick end due to inability to make daytime shoots, and the issue of her lack of ~~aging~~ - Kenzi had always been a survivor and adapted. No longer having a need to dedicate time and money towards physical exercise and healthy living, or money for food and many other human life essentials, Kenzi is enjoying the extra time her unlife brings; playing more computer games and managing to complete her high-school diploma with night classes and online courses. Of late, thanks to her new coterie-mates, she has been getting more into different types of Geek culture and, via night classes and correspondence, ~~finished her~~ BSc in Computer Science (emphasis on Game Design) at California State University Ashford.
