About
A dancer who travels widely and is quite gifted, despite extreme shyness. Appears in Fire Emblem Awakening.
A shrinking violet at heart, Olivia's shy, demure, and withdrawn nature contradicts her otherwise incredible dancing. She struggles with stage fright when interacting with others and sometimes disengages from conversations when feeling overwhelmed. She is easily frightened, startled, and intimidated even by her own allies and is highly embarrassed when put into the spotlight or having attention drawn to her, even for a completely mundane reason. In a vast majority of her conversations, she also tends to downplay her talents, stating that she is only good at dancing in her recruitment conversation. At the same time, she immediately adds that she feels it is inadequate. Contrary to her own extreme downplay, Olivia is in fact a talented dancer that is highly revered throughout the realm as a genius in dancing. She has countless fans that have gathered for her performances and has been described by Basilio as the "finest dancer in all the realms." When dancing, Olivia becomes so absorbed in her performance that she is mesmerizing to watch as stated by numerous of her support partners. While dancing is her main passion, she has an appreciation of all performing arts such as singing, which she also happens to be the best singer in the army. Olivia's biggest dream is to open her own theater so people can perform, including herself. To this end, she has delegated part of her war funds towards this goal. Despite Olivia's shy and socially awkward demeanor, she is actually comfortable around the more crude and loud members of the army. This is made most obvious by her close relationship with Basilio, and her supports with Chrom where they discuss how she met the former. Although painfully shy, Olivia is open about her feelings most of the time, quick to explain herself in any situation or ask for assurance that her actions did not appear to be strange. She can overcome her anxiety to speak frankly when pushed too far or when it comes to her work; she does not, however, find it as easy to discuss more personal thoughts and feelings. Olivia can find the strength to fight for herself, especially when it comes to protecting those she cares about. She will do her best to face her fears and help people, no matter how embarrassed she may feel. Above all else, Olivia wishes to make people smile. While she is embarrassed by compliments and kind words, Olivia is openly affectionate and caring towards her husband, if married. As a mother, she fostered Inigo's desire to become a dancer himself and has been stated by him to be a kind, guiding instructor. In his youth, Inigo was almost the spitting image of Olivia personality wise and her future self's advice to her young son was to talk to girls to bolster his confidence, resulting in his flirtatious behavior. Olivia was left bewildered by her future self's advice. For all of her self-loathing of her own capabilities, she cannot help but heap praise onto her son and had gone to great lengths to spy on him when he tried to hide himself when practicing. When she finally caught him practicing by sheer happenstance, she immediately commended him and proceeded to give him pointers. She promised to be there for her son and to teach him the remaining section of her favorite dance that her future self was never able to.
