Vivian Jones, known as Vivi, is the youngest sister of William Jones and a member of the affluent Jones merchant family, which aspires to gentry status in Victorian London. She possesses blonde hair and green eyes, her appearance reflecting her youth and social position. Vivian is outspoken and prone to snap judgments, especially concerning social class. She develops a fascination with William's friend Hakim Atawari, an Indian prince, likely drawn by his exoticism and status. Vivian openly objects to her brother William's romantic involvement with Emma, a maid, viewing Emma as an uncouth gold-digger unsuitable for the family. She expresses a preference for Eleanor Campbell, a young noblewoman, as a more appropriate match for William, her disapproval fueled by class-conscious attitudes prevalent in her social circle. Later, Vivian serves as bridesmaid at William and Emma's wedding, suggesting eventual participation in family events involving Emma.
