Early Life

Vivian was raised by her open-minded parents, Jimmy and Lydia James, along with her younger siblings three brothers and three sisters, in a small home in Tree Hill. It is possible that Vivian is the sister Haley was talking about who going around the country to look at school with her older sister as both Taylor and Quinn would have been to young to visit colleges. This would make her roughly 10 years older than Haley (Haley was 8 years old at the time). It also shows that she shared the same same quality with her youngest sister Haley; above average intelligence showed as both sisters applied to Stanford; an ivy league school.
