Viriya is a retired Redguard adventuress and well-known master fisherman, who worked at the Riften fishery. There she attempted to breed mudcrabs in the hope of selling their meat on the town's market. She was seen as somewhat strange by her peers for her love of the creatures. Her primary work at the fishery involved facilitating special fishing requests and bounties from across the province. A responsibility she shared with fellow master fisherman, Swims-In-Deep-Water, up until her eventual retirement from the fishery. After which the duty of handling the distribution of the fishing requests fell solely on Swims-In-Deep-Water.

In 4E 201 the Last Dragonborn ventured to the Riften docks to meet Viriya in the hopes of honing their fishing skills. Viriya tasked the Dragonborn with various errands, including catching a juvenile mudcrab for her to keep as a pet, which she named Snippy.

One of the many errands she assigned the Dragonborn was dealing with an infestation of mudcrabs that were threatening fishermen on the shore west of Dawnstar. Later on, Viriya sent an urgent message to the Dragonborn when the mudcrabs returned. Viriya and the Dragonborn soon joined forces with an army of guards to defeat a giant Guardian Spirit in the form of an Emperor Crab that threatened Dawnstar.

Afterwards, Viriya decided to retire from the fishing business. She tasked the Dragonborn with helping her collect supplies for a crab-based stall in Riften's Grand Plaza and gifted them a special amulet as a reward.
