Vivian James was a human character created by a collaboration between the group The Fine Young Capitalists, dedicated to helping women get into game creation, and the /v/ forum of 4chan after a massive 4chan contribution drive for crowdfunding efforts to support TFYC's campaign.

The character is more or less the personification of /v/, depicted with a striped sweater, a headband with a four leaf clover on it, freckles, and is often shown using a video game device of some kind.

The green and purple sweater is a reference to the 4chan meme "Daily Dose" aka "Piccolo Dick".
