Personality

Olivia is an obstinate Forsaken, very set in her ways and not given to new ideas. While she can be very laid back and talkative with other Undead, she strongly distrusts the living, particularly the Alliance. She does her best to try and convince others when they disagree with her ideals, and can have a hard time working with those who do not. She does enjoy the company of others, and prefers to unwind among friends rather than alone.

History

Olivia was born in Brill, with the original surname of "Haywit." She lived a modest childhood. Her father was a farmhand at the Agamand Mills, a sturdy looking man with a strong jaw. Her mother brought up six more children excluding Olivia, becoming portly in the later years. The meager life of peaseantry and toiling fields had it's effects on Olivia, and likely her brothers and sisters as well. If the seven raised, she was among the three that would take up adventuring when they became adults.

For a short time, Olivia helped keep the farms safe and gnoll free. She wasn't much better equipped than any other folk from the area, nor was she the best adventurer out there. Taking mostly courier work travelling from town to town, she got quicker on her feet than most folk. She also learned how to keep out of sight when bandits were about. For five years she moved packages, parcels and other miscellaneous things without much trouble- save for the occasional robbed package or coin-purse. When she was of nineteen years of age, all of her skills proved for naught when the Scourge brought it's blight to Lordearon in year 20.

Olivia and her family were among the many that fled towards Gilneas, only to find that the Graymane Wall would not open for them. While Pinewood Village provided some very small amount of protection to the refugees, they had their own curse to worry about. And while for a few years she and her family clung to life, she was killed unceremoniously when she was searching for food up in Northern Silverpine by the Scourge. From there she was risen by the necromancers, and her mind enslaved by the Lich King. She was a soldier for the Scourge, one of countless examples until Arthas' power began to wane. When her mind was liberated by Sylvannas and her growing army of independed undead, she willingly joined the Banshee Queen and her rebel undead against the Lich King.

When the Forsaken won their victory at Undercity and gained their place in the Undercity, Olivia joined the Deathguard to continue the defense against the Scourge, and eventually against the Scarlet Crusade as well. She remained in Tirisfal Glades for the majority of her service, patrolling the roads and keeping them safe. She learned her way around a blade with time, and how to keep quiet when the need arises from the other Deathguards. Even when Sylvannas rallied her forces to travel to Northrend, Olivia was among the many who would stay behind to defend the home-front.

She elected to resign from the Deathguard shortly before the Gilneas campaign began, feeling that here people were no longer desperate in it's need for defenders, since the Dark Queen gained allies who can make new Forsaken. She kept and paid for her armor and weapons, and now seeks to begin adventuring.
