Character

Vivian is the older sister ofLilian, themaster of ceremonies ofKantoPokémon Contests. Although the two look very similar and share the same occupation, they are drastically different in terms of personality. While Lilian has a bubbly and cheerful personality, Vivian is classy and graceful. According to Lilian, even if they dress so differently from each other, they are still mistaken for one another.
Vivian has high enthusiasm for her job as an announcer. She is in charge of hosting all theHoenn Pokémon Contests sanctioned by thePokémon Activities Committee and theHoenn Grand Festival as well. For this reason, she has appeared in a number ofepisodes with Contests duringPokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. She conducts every competition in a formal and punctilious way, much like the host of an award ceremony.
