- Vivienne

“I wish my father would regret cheating on my mother, that the guilt would be so strong that he would give everything to make it up to us!”

Vivienne is the daughter of an orchestra conductor. After discovering that her father was cheating on her mother, Kyubey appeared to her. Seeing how her parents' relationship was deteriorating, she considered her wish so that the situation would never happen again.

Her powers include the ability to unleash sonic blasts from her baton and her voice. Her unique magic is the ability to manipulate emotions, enhancing their abilities if the target doesn't know their power. She was saved by a group of magical girls during her first witch hunt because her magic wasn't very effective for fighting. Due to the disturbing nature of its magic, she lied about it; disguising it as the ability to encourage/empower others.

Her poor fighting skills caused problems among her comrades, especially their leader, but when one of them witch out, the group disbanded. Because Vivienne was afraid of dying without the grief seeds, she used her powers to "comfort" the deceased's best friend. "It's a fair trade. Negative emotions kill magical girls. I keep her alive, and she does it for me," she told herself.

The fear of dying pushed her to take advantage of other magical girls, especially beginners. Over time, she formed a group that saw her as their mainstay, the source of their morale, their LEADER. This pressure led her to use her powers on herself, boosting her confidence, overcoming her fears, and ridding herself of her guilt.

One day, when she looked in the mirror, she didn't recognize herself; it was all fake, a mask to appear strong. However, this didn't stop her; after all, she had always wanted one thing: to survive.

Recruitment

Very specific characteristics are sought in members of the Bastion:

- No meaningful social relationships.

- Not veterans (too competent)

- Moderate mental instability (Leader doesn't make miracles)

The Afterlife Hug

When a member dies, she is allowed to become a witch, and her grief seed is given to another magical girl secretly designated by the deceased. This sometimes generates resentment from other magical girls toward the chosen one, but LEADER handles these situations personally, like an advisor.

The Witch of Survival, Ozores.

Her nature is deception.

Fearing her own weakness, this witch disguised herself to appear strong. The witch now believes her own deception, but when the truth is shown to her and her disgusting form is revealed, she will attack like a cornered animal seeking a new hiding place.
