Vivica Torture (Hiromi "Romi" Dames) is the main bully from the Star Darlings franchise. Vivica is only in her first year, but she's determined to be the most popular girl in school. She is mean to the main cast, saying that "SD" stands for "Star Dippers" and not "star darlings".
In later books, she works with Lady Rancora in plots to grant bad wishes, which would restore Rancora's power.
In Stealing Starlight another side of her is shown; she felt lonely and ostracized by the Star Darlings and turned to Rancora's side, who would give her all the attention she craved. Vivica is also mentioned as the subject of a prophecy that a Dark Starling will decide the fate of Starland; thus, Rancora tries to keep her under control. After failing to grant a bad wish and being positively affected by the Star Darling band's music, Vivica remembers how hopeful she was when she first arrived at the academy and her positive aura glows brighter. It remains to be seen if she has turned good. However, during the Light Giving Day celebration, Vivica stands apart from the crowd. Her negative feelings then return as she watches the Star Darlings band perform, she begins to once again feel miserable, sorrowful and even tearful and thinks that nothing has changed and that she'll forever be in the shadows.
