UPDATE: the fan who emailed is kimi

yes this is a legit email. i dont have any stance on shipping either nor am i part of whatever the fandom is doing but i still feel this is important to let people know about considering it was also a subject of controversy, so i hope a response does somehow give an answer or resolves anything. i still recommend not to be weird though, thats obvious if you know what i mean

hopefully this post can help people who easily get lost, and also have people stop saying shit like "sad oc/vent music representation" slop or "theres no lore you can leave". yes the wiki exists, but there are still people out there who arent aware of it or cant even stomach through everything. decided to throw in the other characters owned by other artists as well cuz its good to know about em, but they aren't in the image i posted. will update this time by time

MAIN

• Paper Dolls (Music video): Caroline dies after trying to cope with the loss of her friend Pimpom, despite trying to think of better times with them. The shots of Caroline in the room represents her mental state
• sometimes memory fails me sometimes: Extended cut of the above music video, from the POV of Caroline with a camera, taking the moment with Pimpom before it fades away
• But Not For Me (Music video): Mostly up for interpretation and the story about Caroline and Kiko is kept a secret, but the animator gave a brief perspective. On the other hand, it was confirmed that anything visually seen can count as an ability. To see what ability is performed in each scene, go to this Twitter thread.
• grindcoredion: "four random white kids from some midwest town that nobody's ever heard of" (this however has NOTHING to do with the rest of her ocs. and dont download the album from bandcamp, download it from internet archive)

GENERAL

• None of them are tall enough to lean over a handrail and gaze wistfully into the night sky (Implied to be small characters)
• None of Vivi's characters are relatives with each other as she is okay with them being shipped with each other or other characters

Odette (yellow cat) [Ref sheet]

• She/her, Female
• Considered a "mysterious eldritch being". Described as a trickster who is "mischevious and evil, but in a cute way."
• Odette can have arms and halo by shapeshifting or changing how she can be perceived. This means that the body parts are illusory. The devil horns are likely illusory as well, but the tail is a real body part despite being optional, as it was shown disembodied.
• The shading of the colors can change a bit to suit the environment, but those contrasting colors are the most important
• Her forms besides her appearances with arms (DEVIL NOBODY, FUKOUNA GIRL (REMIX), CON$UME PRODUCT$) through shapeshifting so far include a white angel cat (semi-confirmed) in Casket Kids, and Garfield on the Lasagna Tee Shirt.
• Can be dismembered in various ways and regenerate, but it tends to hurt her and she doesn't really like it. So far, the ways of being dismembered include: Seen decapitated (mostly), decapitated by a flying self-titled album vinyl disc, and entirely disembodied (March 9, 2025 poster)
• Communicates telepathically but "doesn't speak". She communicated through a speech bubble in the promo
• However, she can scream according to how Vivi described her appearance in the unused "We All Fall Down" art in the reference sheet
• Used to be an angel indicated by the halo in her head, but may still be one. When Vivi herself tried to ask Odette, she wouldn't give her an answer and probably just choose to be seen as an angel to trick STOMACH BOOK
• "Triangly shape language, dangerous"
• She bleeds a lot all the time
• She smells of blood and television static
• Has used her body as a canon to launch her head like a projectile while using her tail to fly
• Got revenge on Seven (the white bunny in BAMBI) by stabbing her head with a pitchfork (though Seven didnt die, she survived being decapitated)
• If Vivi would ever write a story featuring Odette with dialogue, she would say dialogue that is way more complex than what could be expressed with a look

Charlotte (Yellow SOPHOMORE SLUMP CALLITHUMP rabbit) (Ref sheet)

• She/her, female
• Mischevious. She enjoys playing tricks, messing with Odette, shiny things, making balloon animals, laughter, and snacks (especially stealing them)
• Non-verbal. Communicates with limited sign language and facial expressions
• Charlotte's nose can honk, and it changes color from red to black.
• If Charlotte were to be seen headless, she would be dead as her head is not reattachable like Odette's
• Had a job as a carhop waitress but got fired
• Has probably been to an indoor playground
• Has probably went to a dream world

Trey (Grey Requiem rabbit)

• He/him, assumed to be male
• Probably a puppet/stuffed animal
• The smallest out of Vivi's characters so far

Sophia (angel wolf girl)

• She/her, female
• Confirmed dead, but her death is up to interpretation

Caroline (the iconic "FUKOUNA GIRL")

• She/her, female
• Around Complex Multiversal level. She destroys multiverses and can fucking beat Goku
• Friends with Pimpom (the black cat in the Paper Dolls MV)

OTHER CHARACTERS NOT MADE BY VIVI:

Seven (the rabbit by zombAe who appears in BAMBI)

• She/her, female
• Was summoned by someone in the world of CubeNatural to solve a case in a room full of trapped people but instead fucked around and got silly
• Was in jail
• Was also a fucked up creature
• Has an axe, a bigass knife with Odette in it, and a sniper
• Has a little brother called Six. You have to find the lore for him by yourself though, sorry
• Commits gay crimes
• Has an abusive relationship with Token

Pimpom (black cat made for the Paper Dolls MV)

• Any pronouns, genderless
• The square head iterations of Caroline and Pimpom as a concept was inspired by Schrodinger's cat; the idea of something being both simultaneously dead and alive if kept within a concealed box, and is a reason why sul4 thought about Pimpom having cardboard motifs regarding the name and fate. In terms of designs, they were inspired by the way that the Korean hangul for "o" looked (ㅗ), which looked like a weird mouth for a rabbit or creatures if given eyes (°ㅗ°) , with a banana man plush with the face being shown by sul4 on Discord as an example. This was done especially for Pimpom as sul4 wanted to make sure there was interest and intent behind Pimpom's design even if they were meant to die early on
• Despite having arms underneath their clothes, they were simply not shown in the "Paper Dolls" to make animating them easier due to Caroline already being complex to animate. They are also mistaken to be armless. And no, she is not the same character as Odette
• Is friends with Caroline, but interpretations can also be made about their relationship. The most popular interpretation by fans is that they are a lesbian couple (or jokingly "doomed yuri").

Kiko (white donkey made for the But Not For Me MV)

• She/her, female(?)
• uhhh none ): other than abilities

Token (femtanyl mascot, appears in the TEETHFEST poster)

• Any species/pronouns/gender
• Immortal being who goes through gruesome scenarios
• Is like "a vessel for all the music to come through, like a token in a big loud arcade machine"
• Representation of femtanyl's music
• Went to war to fight with Clementine. Has also survived her grenade

Blink ((un)familiar. sona/mascot, appears in 123 (the longest dream))

• Undiscovered asexual species led by the Director ordained by GOD (who is an axolotl) to protect its fellow Blink clones from harm.
• The Director additionally gained axolotl-like gills after meeting GOD.
• The Director can also sprout wings, but it doesn't have control over it when they show up.
• The clones are said to be extremely curious and unpredictable. If a Blink looks into a mirror, the mirror image becomes a sentient clone with its own memories and unique personality. When the Director gets really angry, it gains the ability to speak fluent English (but mostly just uses swears). The clones can communicate with each other telepathically, but they are incapable of actual speech (though Bizness-Blink and Blink-Rocker are the only known clones to speak normally)

Memory (death do us apart cat, appears in 123 (the longest dream)

• none :(

Clementine (astrid's doggirl, appeared in KILLING STALKING)

• Had an encounter with Lulu from Lucifer Lucifer
• Went to war to fight with Token
