Viv Hope

Viv Hope is a fictional character created by Terry Pratchett for his Discworld series of fantasy novels. She is a member of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, serving primarily in the Scenes of Crime Office (SOCO), specializing in forensic investigation.

Hope is a gnome, a small and generally overlooked race on Discworld. She is often underestimated due to her size, but she possesses a sharp mind, an exceptional eye for detail, and a strong commitment to justice. She is depicted as intelligent, methodical, and dedicated to her work, often meticulously examining crime scenes for clues others might miss.

Viv Hope is notable for her professional approach and dedication to forensic science in a world where magic and traditional methods of policing often take precedence. She represents a burgeoning interest in logical investigation and the application of scientific principles to crime solving within the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Her character highlights the contrast between the older, often haphazard, approaches to law enforcement and the emerging field of forensic science, adding a layer of realism and complexity to the Discworld's portrayal of policing.
