vivian valeri

Vivian Valeri, known personally as vivi/annie, was one of the founders and the third member of LACUWORKS. She was a writer, artist, and character designer, and was especially known for her emotional storytelling. Vivian co-founded LACUWORKS alongside Harvey and Millie in July 2024, following their previous group, Sakura Beariigen. Vivian's work and creative direction continue to influence nearly all LACUWORKS projects. Tragically, Vivian passed away in mid-August 2025, a few days away from turning 17. The exact date and time have not been revealed. Vivian's PII, including her real name, location, face, and cause of death, will never be revealed to the public due to her own wish for privacy..

Following Vivian's passing in 2025, her most loved projects were continued by Harvey and millie in her memory. For example, Trash Clan is still an active project, with all elements preserved to keep her original idea. Her unfinished works still have a huge role in ongoing LACUWORKS concepts. Vivian, her work and her wishes are extremely important even now to LACUWORKS. She is deeply missed by those who knew her, and even those who did not. She was the least active of all three members, but her efforts were greatly appreciated in all that she did.

Vivian began creating and posting content in 2016, when she was very young, primarily focusing on edits and skits. Her work on her original channel had very little depth and was simply for fun, until she decided to get into storytelling and lore. In 2022-3, Vivian became heavily involved in those kinds of projects. In December 2023, she created Trash Clan, which would go on to become one of LACUWORKS' most significant projects. Vivian later joined LACUWORKS in 2024 as a co-founder, where she contributed to early concept development and character writing across multiple projects. Vivian was particularly fond of using Gacha Life and later Gacha Club and Gacha Life 2 as creative tools. Her approach inspired the other two LACUWORKS members to continue using the apps despite them both quitting.

Vivian joined many LGBTQ collabs under a few different names, as she was a member of the LGBTQ+ community and was trans female. She loved pink, her favourite flower was the cherry blossom. The 🌸 emoji is used in memorials and projects dedicated to her. some of vivian's favourite things were cherry blossoms, the music freaks, illit and synthv covers.

we miss you, vivi. rest easy. <3
