More Info about Vivi in Milo

I've been referring to her as Yugo Nora!Vivi to keep myself on track. I was talking with @cruisingheightswithdragons about her life in the world of Milo and other features of the trade towns. Wanted to drop some short story bits related to @yugonora-comic

Bonus tavern references

~ The Siren's Song's wines range in price. Bottles can be sold for as low as 10 silver shells. The most expensive wine they make, Coral Dream, is a spring seasonal and the only sweet wine they sell. It goes for 300 silver shells due to the limited amount of grapes they have to make the wine with. It's been told that it tastes like cotton candy.

~ There is a rumor in Tailwind that Vivi is actually part sea monster herself due to the fact she is unstable on her feet. Her attack caused her nerve and muscle damage which affects her balance and gait. Vivi shakes these allegations, but does take comfort in being near the water. She wears thick, supportive boots to hide her injuries.

~ Vivi is part of a economics council. She has two main colleagues. Alice who takes care of exports and Stefan who takes care of the internal economy of Tailwind. All three of them work with Lord Blodogtårer. They report their findings to him and do their best to fulfill any of his requests. The Lord is a progressive Lord and knows they need to make agreements with neighboring towns in order to expand their manufacturing. Has some questionable ideas, but his thought process is only for the betterment of Tailwind.

~ Each night, she prays to the god Nydal and drinks chamomile tea with honey in his honor. In hopes that his spirit will heal her or ease her symptoms enough to get through the next day. Vivi has done this for so long and deep down she doesn't think it will ever work. But it has become her nightly routine.

~ Vivi supports the proposal for trade routes with Stone Yard. She's looking to update her infrastructure but the contractors do not have enough resources to go around. In order to have some extra funds, Vivi makes it a point to crack down on overspending and overstocking in the imports department. That way they have some money to put down should it be needed.

~ Her lover is a traveling musician. A blonde, blue eyed man with guitar skills who is adored across the land. She doesn't see him much, but bore his child anyway. Their son, Anders, is around Yugo Nora's age and helps his mother around the tavern. He aspires to be Tailwind's next lorekeeper.

~ Some citizens of Tailwind do NOT support the trade route with Stone Yard because they believe it will destroy and change their idyllic community. Vivi makes little points to reason with her neighbors like pointing out collapsing roofs and rocky roads. A few change their mind, most are set in their ways.

Okay I think that's enough for now. I'll come back later when more ideas come through.
