Biography

Never Fade

Vida is a part of the Children's League and is on Ruby's team. She is initially upset that Ruby is the team leader despite the fact that Ruby is the newest member of the team. Vida has blue abilities and is very good at using them. Vida is sent on the mission to bring back "Prisoner 27" who turns out to be Cole Stewart. On this mission, Vida defies Ruby's command but ultimately helps Ruby in rescuing Cole although she is reluctant to do so.

Vida is a very angry person and does not like to allow others to get close to her. This is seen when she meets new people, such as Ruby or Chubs, by her open hostility towards them. She is closest to Cate who used to be her social worker before the IAAN outbreak. It is told later that Vida's sister tried turning Vida into the PSF, but Cate saved her from this fate. Whenever anything bad happens to Cate, Vida is the first to react and the first to blame someone else for putting Cate in harms way.

Although Vida does not show it, she cares deeply about her team: Nico, Jude, and Ruby. She does all she can to protect them, especially Jude who is the youngest. She feels betrayed when Ruby seems to be breaking off from the team to be with her old friends when they reunite with Chubs then Liam in Never Fade, and even more so when Zu comes back in the picture in In The Afterlight.

Vida and Ruby form a close bond over the course of the last two books as they finally talk to each other about their feelings and help each other process what has happened.

Vida forms a romantic attachment with Chubs when they are sent on a mission together and spend many cold nights sleeping in a tent. Although Chubs claims the relationship is purely physical, it is clear that there are feelings between them and it is accepted that they are a couple by the end of the series.

Vida is ultimately accepted into Ruby's original friend group of Chubs, Liam, and Zu as shown in the final chapter of In The Afterlight.

Relationships

Ruby Daly: In Never Fade, she is extremely rude to Ruby at first because she was jealous. Vida had been working in the Children's League longer than her and was angry that Ruby was assigned as the leader of her group.

Charles Meriweather: Chubs is Vida's love interest. When they were assigned to a task together, they do some romantic actions.

Suzume: Vida is extremely rude towards Zu when they first meet. At this time, Ruby was just reunited with her old friends Chubs, Liam, and Zu. Vida was very hurt because she thought that Ruby was replacing Jude, who was also a yellow like Zu, and was Ruby and Vida's friend. Vida says some very harsh things to Zu about why she never talked and Vida even sweared at her. Overtime though, Vida learns about Zu's past life and begins to start warming up to her. They grow closer and Vida deeply cares about her.
