Background Information

 * Vivian seems to embody both of her last names: She appears to be Hispanic, yet speaks with a Yiddish accent.
 * She revealed that she is a descendant Mexican-Jewish culture ("Picture This").
 * Vivian reveals that Candace, at some point in her life, was wearing braces ("The Fast and the Phineas"). She also thinks Candace is too thin, and encourages her to eat by offering her a matzah-ballrrito (a portmanteau of "matzah-ball" and "burrito") ("Picture This"). She may enjoy the burritos herself, which is a marriage of staple foods in both the Mexican and Jewish cultures.
 * Vivian calls her daughter "Isa", which is a common shortening of her name in Spanish-speaking countries ("Hide and Seek").
 * Vivian is shown to most likely be married since she has a wedding ring, although she is never seen wearing it ("No More Bunny Business").
 * She was seen walking with a man at the neighborhood party, presumably her husband. ("Love at First Byte") She was also dancing with him in Happy New Year!
 * She can be seen at the Love Handel reunion concert so she is probably a fan.
 * "My Sweet Ride" is the first episode where she physically appears without Isabella.
