'''Vivenna''' is an [[Awakener]] and eldest princess of [[Idris]] on [[Nalthis]]. Also, Vivenna appears on Roshar as Highmarshal Azure. She is the Commander of the Wall Guard.
== Appearance
Described as beautiful by her sister [[Siri]]{{book ref|wb|1}}, Vivenna is the tallest of the Idrian princesses.{{book ref|wb|2}} As a member of Idrian royalty, she is descended from a [[Returned]] and thus is capable of changing the color of her hair, with conscious effort or subconsciously to reflect her emotional state.{{book ref|wb|51}} She is mentioned at being exceptionally good at this skill, and even her father [[Dedelin]], the king himself, is surprised at her ability to stay so unemotional and keep her hair black.
In the beginning of the novel Warbreaker, Vivenna wears a simple grey dress and keeps her hair in a knot, due to her strict adherence to Idrian beliefs. She maintains a solid black color in her hair.{{book ref|wb|1}} As the novel progresses and she finds herself in [[T'Telir]], however, she begrudgingly begins wearing more colored and revealing dresses out of practicality. She cuts off her hair to sell it{{book ref|wb|39}} and is never mentioned growing it back. By the end of the novel, she wears thick trousers, a tunic, and a vest, all different shades of blue, and carries a sword at her waist.{{book ref|wb|43}} She is also mentioned to have lost, or at least does not bother with, the ability to keep her hair at one set colour, and mostly just lets it change to match her feelings.
Vivenna appears as Highmarshal Azure on Roshar. She seems to have learned the ability to change her appearance like Returned do, as she sports two diagonal scars on her face, and orange eyes with short hair. She wears gloves on both hands.
She began as a statuesque, uptight, judgmental, and devout adherent to Idrian dogma. After her experiences in T'Telir, however, Vivenna's worldview and personality are fundamentally changed, as exemplified in her choice to become an Awakener and travel with Vasher.▼

▲She began as a statuesque, uptight, judgmental, and devout adherent to Idrian dogma. After her experiences in T'Telir, however, Vivenna's worldview and personality are fundamentally changed, as exemplified in her choice to become an Awakener and travel with Vasher. She used to look down on the Hallandrens, however, later she notes that she does not really care about them anymore, and that her Hatred was caused by their inherent indifference towards the Idrians.
Due to getting captured by Denth, who she viewed as a friend and spending weeks on the street, Vivenna gradually loses her haughtiness and starts to realize that she was being unfair. She genuinely starts to want to learn. She does not wish to be powerless any longer and learns Awakening after realising that it had nothing to do with her Idrian beliefs. After realising that Vasher is actually a very good Awakener with high technical knowledge, she realizes that judging people by their appearance does not make any sense.
Gradually Vivenna becomes a capable young woman who even realises that kingship is not for her. She gives up her throne and travels with Vasher.
In Oathbringer, when [Kaladin] stormblessed berates her for not doing her duty to her kingdom, she tells him that that is the one thing she does not regret.
