Personality: Olivia would be described by her peers as enthusiastic, curious, spiritually inclined, warm, and at times can be naive. She is an incredibly friendly person, despite having had some shocking events in her past - she was able to move through them with guidance and therapy. With others, she is open, empathetic, and patient - and often will cross paths with people needing help in some way. She has an in-built desire to help people and to positively change the world on a large scale.
History/Bio: Olivia was born and raised in New York, and lived an ordinary middle-class life. She was a good student, and was part of her high school track team. She had many friends and a comfortable upbringing. Her parents were kind and generous to her and her friends. Olivia finally left home at 18 to attend college on a track scholarship, studying human biology.
It was during her third year of college that her life was changed; whilst walking home she was accosted by a group of thugs who held her at knifepoint to mug her. The largest mugger was about to slit her throat, and in fact the knife was already cut into her neck when they were stopped by a stranger wielding magic. Olivia remembers very little about the stranger, or what happened to the muggers. She only remembers waking up in the hospital.
For many months after this incident, Olivia suffered with severe post-traumatic stress. She was unable to leave the house, suffered from panic attacks and crippling fear. She dropped out of college, and never finished her degree and studies. It was during this time a friend encouraged her to enrol in a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy. Learning this discipline guided her through her trauma and allowed her to come out of the other side stronger, and more spiritual. People tended not to believe her when she explained she was saved by someone with magic - especially her parents.
For the last 6 years, Olivia has worked at a prestigious technology company in New York as part of a medical research team, having worked her way up through sheer grit and determination. By night, she is a host of an online community dedicated and obsessed with championing magic users, and uncovering the conspiracy that hides them from non-magic users. Her real reason for this site is to finally find the stranger who saved her to thank them, and to prove to herself that this person was real.
