“
You ever get the feeling that something bad is gonna happen?... Yeah so, I don't, that's why I end up in jail so much.

When it comes to breaking the law, not getting caught is a pretty important part of the job. Vyper never got that memo. Luckily for her, if there’s one thing she’s better at than being arrested, it’s escaping out of jail.

Having done time in every major prison in the tri-state area, Vyper has built an impressive network of street level lowlifes that owe her one. She’s also built an impressive network of street level lowlifes that want her dead, but she tries to focus on the positive.

Overview

Vyper's wish seems to be a new and secure life for herself.[1][2][3]

Biography

Vyper is a gorgon.[4] It's implied that Petrifying Bola is one of her gorgon abilities,[5] though she also got the inspiration from Silver's Entangling Bola.[6] She often refers to herself as "V".[7][8]

Vyper has been to New Jersey,[9] Staten Island,[10] Philadelphia,[11] Illinois,[12] Oklahoma[13] and Wisconsin.[14] She has been to many small towns like DeKalb (which left a strong impression on her)[15] and Wisconsin Dells.[16]

Vyper has been incarcerated in (and escaped from) Riker's Island multiple times.[17] She doesn't want to be sent to Lost Whisper.[18] She has experience making pruno ("prison wine")[19][20] and fighting in prison riots.[21][22]

Vyper used to work for the Mendoza Syndicate, acting as InfernusInfernus' replacement.[23][24] When working for Mendoza, Vyper was caught by IvyIvy and tried for 13 counts of murder, although Vyper mentions that the actual kill count was way higher.[25][26] Vyper has killed tourists in the past and felt no remorse for doing so.[27]

Vyper has been kicked out of the Paradox Museum and the Baroness Hotel.[28][29] She's also been barred from Jezebel's.[30] Vyper once crashed Fashion Week.[31] She claims to know "the best bars to get kicked out of".[32]

Vyper says her mother was "slinging poison" after she found out about a life insurance policy, implying that she murdered her spouse for the insurance.[33] Similarly, Vyper wants to get married to a rich husband and kill him for the inheritance.[34]

Vyper has a Midwest accent, according to MinaMina.[35] Though according to Vyper's voice actress Stephanie Kerbis, Vyper is "not from Wisconsin or New Jersey".[36]

Personality

Vyper calls herself a "degenerate"[37] and has "real bad impulse control".[38] She likes to commit petty crimes and has trouble holding onto money, preferring to steal what she wants.[39][40] She rarely pays off her loans and has to hide from loan sharks.[41][42]

Vyper often flirts with men (especially Lash)[43][44][45] and is willing to go out with anyone who offers her drinks so long as they're buying,[46] even if she finds them intimidating.[47]

Vyper thinks that making Daggers is "meditative",[48] and Poison is "fun" and "awesome".[49][50] She compares her daggers to "the greasy spoon diner food that you get when you're hung over but you never really wanna finish when you're sober: flawed, but lovable".[51]

Other heroes call Vyper "scum" and think she's "the worst".[52][4][53] They dislike her even when on the same team.[54][55]

Character Relationships

Lash

Vyper is infatuated with Lash.[43][56][57] She has watched him sleep (without his knowledge)[58] and sends Lash letters made to "stand out" (the contents of the letters are unknown, but they do make Lash uncomfortable).[59][60] When Vyper flirts with Billy, she asks if she can call him "Lash".[44]

Lash is scared of Vyper's obession with him and wants her to leave him alone.[61][62][63]

Billy

Billy and Vyper are familiar with each other. While on the same team, Billy and Vyper flirt with each other, and he doesn't care that she wants to call him "Lash".[44]

While Vyper holds Billy in high regard,[64][65] Billy thinks Vyper is a moron.[66][67] Vyper is upset that Billy never visited her when she was in town.[44][68]

It's implied that Vyper knew Billy from before he got his goat head.[69]

Silver

Silver has hunted and caught Vyper so many times that Vyper's use of Petrifying Bola comes from Silver's Entangling Bola.[17][6]

Wraith

Wraith wants Vyper dead since she once robbed one of Wraith's poker rooms.[70][71] She also doesn't allow Vyper to take out markers (informal loans) since Vyper never pays them back.[41][72] Vyper knows Sophia Arroyo works for Wraith.[73]

ShopkeeperThe Shopkeeper

Vyper has robbed the Shopkeeper before.[74] Despite this, the Shopkeeper likes Vyper and considers her "his kind of lowlife".[75]
