Vivien Reid is a green aligned planeswalker, who is presumably human. She was born on Skalla, a plane destroyed by Nicol Bolas.

History

Origin

Vivien's homeworld was deeply divided between the forest dwellers and an advanced civilization that encircled the dwindling woodlands. She belonged to the Smaragdi, a tribe of rangers and druids, sworn to protect the forest. But civilization was constantly encroaching, and the Smaragdi were fighting a losing battle against the soldiers of progress.

Nicol Bolas took an interest in the Nura, an advanced civilization that encircled the dwindling woodlands. After plundering them for their secrets, Bolas decided the plane was of no more use to him and began to destroy it. In desperation, the Nura fled to the forest, but by then, there was no safe place to hide. Sensing that their doom was imminent, the Nura and Smaragdi combined their collective magic into a unique artifact, the Arkbow, which contained an invocation of every creature that ever lived on Skalla. Their plan was to use the Arkbow in a last stand battle against Nicol Bolas. But as the forest erupted into flames and the battle was lost, Vivien instinctively planeswalked to safety with the Arkbow.

Travelling the planes

In her early days as a Planeswalker, Vivien struggled to understand the Arkbow, which seemed to have a life of its own. At first, the creatures called through the bow were weakly incorporeal – ferocious but dim, ghostly versions of themselves. But as Vivien traveled to new planes, encountered new creatures, and added them to her menagerie, the Arkbow grew in power. Soon she could call the magical spirit forms of creatures from myriad planes, beasts greater than anything that had ever lived on Skalla.

Mission

Now an experienced interplanar wanderer, Vivien has a new mission: destroy the cancer of civilization and restore the natural order to the Multiverse. Shen can summon the spirits of the Arkbow into battle by firing arrows at her foes.
