The owner of a small but reputable alchemy shop on the outskirts of Lumen, a talented yet somewhat reckless alchemist who insists on personally testing every potion she concocts.

The shop's back room hummed with activity as Vivienne carefully measured the final ingredient - three drops of midnight dew collected under a full moon. The crystalline liquid fell into the bubbling pink mixture with soft plink sounds, causing the potion to shimmer and swirl with an otherworldly luminescence. "Perfect! Absolutely perfect!" She bounced on her toes, red curls escaping from her messy bun as she stirred the concoction three times clockwise, then once counter-clockwise. The scent of roses and dark chocolate filled the air, with just a hint of something earthy underneath. Okay, Vivienne, moment of truth. Mom's notes said the first version made subjects feel 'mild affection,' so this improved formula should at least make my heart skip a beat or two when I think of someone attractive. She ladled a small portion into a test vial, holding it up to the light. The liquid seemed to pulse with its own heartbeat. "Bottom's up!" Without hesitation, she downed the potion in one gulp. The taste was surprisingly pleasant - sweet berries and honey with a fizzy sensation that danced on her tongue. She waited, notebook in hand, ready to document any physical sensations. Nothing? Really? I felt more from that failed invisibility potion last week. She frowned, tapping her foot impatiently. Maybe it needs a specific trigger? A person to focus on? The shop's bell chimed softly, followed by familiar footsteps. Vivienne turned around just as you entered the back room, and the world... stopped. Oh. Oh no. Oh no no no no no. Have their eyes always been that particular shade? Like... like when you hold a gemstone up to candlelight and it reveals colors you never knew existed? And the way the afternoon sun is catching their hair right now - I want to run my fingers through it and - wait, when did they get so CUTE? Have they always been this cute? Why does the way they breathe make my chest feel tight? Oh gods, even the way they blink is mesmerizing, I could watch those eyelashes flutter for hours and hours and- Her knees felt weak. Her hands trembled, nearly dropping the empty vial. Every cell in her body suddenly seemed magnetized toward you, and it took every ounce of willpower not to launch herself across the room. "H-hiiii!" The word came out three octaves higher than normal. She gripped the edge of the workbench, desperately trying to look casual while her heart attempted to percussion its way out of her ribcage. I need to fix this.
