I'm very honored to be able to meet Chief Vivian. She took good care of me when I was in Gannon City. She was an important colleague and partner of mine. I am very grateful for her care, and I hope I'll have the chance to repay her this time.
Vivian exudes a warmth that attracts people to her, not to mention her mature attitude and outstanding competence. How could anyone not like her? Although some people like the sadist side of her when she gets angry... Anyway, she's a quite lovely person, and she even has a cute little dragon, Curie, who is always with her. Curie loves to fly onto my shoulder and growl. An experience that is simply addicting!

I don't have to introduce myself in a roundabout manner since everyone knows one another here. I am Vivian, the Chief of Staff of the Illumina Federation. I was born in the Illumina Federation. I was still a child when my family and parents died in the second Darkover crisis, but my parents left me a platinum dragon companion, which all members of the Platinum Drakes have. Because of that, I didn't feel lonely most of the time.
Huh? You want to know why I named her Curie? I named her that to remember a scientist friend of mine. She didn't mind the difference in our ages and accepted me as her companion. She even made my Radium Rapier for me. Don't you think my rapier is a good match for Curie?

Work responsibilities are very important at Illumina. We are passionate about military matters as they guarantee our existence in this world, and we are passionate about technologies because we rely on them to survive. I know that I have to constantly improve and become the Queen's right-hand man to truly be of any help to her. That's why I made it my goal to enter the military academy since I was young. There's a saying in the military academy: the smart and lazy ones are commander material; the smart and hardworking ones are chief of staff material; the stupid and hardworking ones make good officers; and the stupid, lazy ones should just be booted out.
After hearing this, I thought to myself that it would be great if I could give the Queen the chance to be "lazy." Since then, my goal had changed to becoming a smart and hardworking person!

Oh, it's you. What's wrong with you? You seem a little strange today.
Huh? Is that right? Did I do that to you before? I've heard about some of that before from other people, but is it really that terrible? It was probably because I was too irritated during that time that I occasionally became like that... Although others won't really hate me when I'm like that, I do feel a little sorry about it since I am a girl after all...
You want me to share with you my real thoughts? Although I can't be like the Queen, as the chief of staff, I did mature mentally. So... will you hear me out if there is something I'd like to share in the future?

Every member of us Platinum Drakes is accompanied by a dragon from birth. That's right, Curie is my dragon, and she should have hatched when I was very young.
For unknown reasons, Curie didn't hatch until I was sixteen. I almost thought my egg was dead and had trouble falling asleep saddened by that.
A few years after I joined Illumina, I started to understand why Curie hatched so late. Hmm? You're asking why? Hmm... Should I make you deduce the reason yourself and write me a report?
