I say Ansburg because:

 

1. Vivienne is of Rivaini descent and Ansburg is one of the closest Free Marcher cities to Rivain

2. Vivienne is a mage and Ansburg has a Circle

3. Vivienne has an English accent, so she probably spent some time in the Free Marches before being moved to Orlais

 

Oki, I get it now. Ansburg no longer has a circle. But Vivienne is probably from Ansburg. Because Orsino was from Ansburg too.

 

Edited - Thought it was Tantervale because it's the 3rd largest city and was quite close to Orlais. Maybe she was from a rich family.. that's what get her into Orlesian politics in Montsimard....

Honestly, she could have been born in any Free Marcher city. However, she must have spent much of her life in a Circle.

 

The Free Marcher cities with Circles include Ansburg, Kirkwall, Markham, Ostwick, and Starkhaven.

 

I hope her background isn't linked to Hawke or the Inquisitor, so Kirkwall and Ostwick are out (in my mind).

 

People from Starkhaven seem to have vaguely Scottish accents, but Vivienne does not.

 

In my estimation, Ansburg or Markham are the most likely cities in which she was born and/or raised. Either Wycome or Hercinia on the coast of the Free Marches (and close to those two cities with Circles) could also be the city of Vivienne's birth, but not where she was raised necessarily. All four of those cities are also close to Rivain.

 

As far as her being from a rich family, it sounds too similar to the human Inquisitor's background. I think she might actually be from a poor family and has latched onto an upper-class lifestyle.

 

My speculation could be entirely wrong, though.

We haven't hurt much from Vivienne for some time now, no?

Not that I know of, I really wish we could get a reveal on whether she is a love interest or not.

She is probably a chaste romance like Sebastian and Samara, so they don't want to ruin the surprise. :)

Come on, she's the last woman to keep it even. If people don't get to have her there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth (not to mention pitchforks and torches).

I hope she betrays you, would make for an interesting tweest similar to someone from Kotor2(even though that wasn't Bioware)

Her betrayal won't be surprising at all. I'd be more surprised if her goals in the end will be more ambiguous and will benefit someone beside her of her lust for power and control.

I may have to rethink my choice in romance if she ends up being a chaste romance.

Why. At the end of a day it's still romance with a few pixels, wouldn't you prefer a nice well written one instead of just 'sex is the goal' - that being said I don't know much about Vivienne at all

My canon Inqusitor has a very specific backstory and personality a chaste romance is not something she'd be willing to commit to. Not to say I wouldn't make a second play through to romance Viv however.

I romanced Seb in DA2, so I'm pretty used to it. :lol:

That said, I really see no reason why she'd be a chaste romance. Circle mages are meant to be more sexually liberated than most Thedosians after all. Even if she isn't, I can't imagine her as a completely chaste romance.

What I'm more afraid of is that she won't be a romance at all. Now that would kill me. It's probably just my intense desire for a Vivienne romance stirring up my anxiety. All signs point to her being a romance after all. She's incredibly attractive, she's needed for the gender split to be 4/4, Mary Kirby isn't writing any of the confirmed LIs, she's incredibly attractive...

I'll be honestly betrayal could actually make me love Vivienne more depending on hiw it's implemented. Though if she were to stay with Inquisition after betraying it that would be kind of odd.

Also I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact that she is the personal enchanter and an adviser for Empress Celene, she ran in her inner circle of influence. I'd find it really hard to believe that a woman of such high influence in that Orlesian court such as her hasn't indulged in the decadence of her surroundings. I reckon she is a hedonist, she would enjoy the company of men and women. I can't see her being a chaste romance, I'd rather accept her being unavailable to the Inquisitor for story reasons rather than her being a chaste romance. I'd find it too hard to believe myself.

I am more worried about Viv dying on my first play through tbh. My male human mage is going to be anti chantry/circle and side with anything having to do with the mage rebellion. From what I know of her I can see her having a few issues with me. My LI is going to be Dorian and I don't know if having him in the same party as me all the time might influence what the other companions think of our closeness. So its me, Dorian, Vivienne, and Blackwall as a main crew. I don't know how you all might play but I've always enjoyed making some companions rivals so to speak, like I want Viv to have her own ideals and clash with my viewpoint or decisions at certain points in the game. It's just more fun to me when companions don't blindly follow what I may say or think without question if it conflicts with their beliefs. This is why I'm hoping the interactive banter system will be well done. If I get betrayed I get betrayed, I just hope that if she has low approval rating with me that won't make the game instantly mark her as 'expendable' on a more suicide like mission.

Inquisitor: ...so that's a yes on dinner?

Vivienne: I could use some some companionship. Social gatherings are so much more tolerable with arm candy.

Inquisitor: What?

Vivienne: You're cute dear, but you're a long way from what you're thinking of.
