Olive Muhdo

Olive Muhdo is a lizardfolk monk with the Firebreathing Kittens. She looks kind of like a bipedal crocodile. Or a green anole humanoid. She's a bit reminiscent of how the Geico gecko walks on two feet, but scaled, person sized, and overweight at level 1, gradually not by level 20. 
 
* Pronoun: She. Like all crocodile folk, she has no external signs of her gender (no boobs). Lizardfolk can easily tell each others' genders apart but like the episode about turkey face blindness in Rick and Morty, it takes experience for non-lizardfolk to be able to tell male and female lizardfolk apart. 
*Voice traits: female, American accent
*Mannerisms that will help other DMs portray the character consistently: She likes to try all the foods, even ones that are probably poison.
*Influences: the Haikyuu volleyball players, the Geico gecko, Pam from Archer, Olive from Gourmet Hound, Rak from Tower of God.
*D&D race: "lizardfolk"
*Height: 5' 10"
*Age: Lizardfolk don't live as long as humans, so although at level 1 she was only 23 it's like 35 in human years.
*Weight: started at 240 lbs (overweight/obese) at the start of season one, 235 by level 5, 230 by level 11 and a lot of her inactivity fat has become muscle. 225 by level 14. A fit 220 by level 20. 
*Hair color: no hair (scales)
* Skin color: olive green scales
* Eye color: gray
* Example clothing outfit worn: started level 1 wearing loose brown pants, white puffy renaissance style shirt, a backpack, leather shoes with cushioned soles to make running more comfortable. In The Apple of Discord, Olive exchanged her puffy white shirt for a white Jedi style half robe. (Unstated: she is often either muddy, wet, or with dried mud on her.) Multiple people have tried to dress her up more fancily but to her, if clothes don't have holes in them, what's the problem? 
* Where is the tattoo of the firebreathing kitten on the shield?: on the back of her left hand
* Favored event: volleyball 
* Traits: I have a daily exercise routine. 
* Ideal: Camaraderie: the strongest bonds are built through struggling together. 
* Bond: My teammates are my family.
* Flaw: I indulge in a habit that threatens my health (overeating and sedentary lifestyle). Vulnerable to peer pressure and reliant on other peoples' approval. 
* Family members: Olive was born by the River Emou. Her mother buried her clutch of eggs in a riverside nest. For six months, her mother, Fern Muhdo, and father, Pickle Muhdo, waited nearby.  When Olive and her siblings were ready to hatch, they began to chirp. Olive's parents dug down to the nest and carried their young to the water in their mouth. Olive and her fourteen siblings grew up quickly on a diet of river fishes, under the bright sun. She began local school at the age of five, joining a class with her siblings. Her siblings are: Emerald, Apple, Jade, Forest, Moss, Malachite, Sage, Willow, Grass, Parakeet, Mint, Basil, Juniper, and her brother Lime. She meets her mother's mother, Brie Wensleydale, in the adventure Emmental Tales. 
* Socioeconomic class status: At level 1: working middle class, works at Tar-jay. By level 20: retired from the rat race, coaching volleyball because she enjoys the camaraderie of the team.
* Kind of home lived in?: At level 1, Olive lived in a multi bedroom apartment with roommates Marlowe and Remy. After "Sea Scouts and Theatre Bouts", she realized she wasn't a kid anymore and moved out into her own place. The roommates thing was an attempt at family (it was shocking to go from fourteen siblings and playing several hours a day during high school on a volleyball team to graduating from high school, starting working at TayJay, and suddenly being alone. But Marlowe and Remy weren't family; they just kind of wanted to be left alone). Since joining Firebreathing Kittens, she started to feel less lonely and more like she was on a team. By around level 12, she had grown into feeling secure and comfortable enough to live on her own. And who knows; dating Richard, maybe they'll make a family of their own one day? It's a scary/exciting thought, but, for now, she's finally comfortable moving out. (Lived alone in own apartment from levels 12-20). 
* Relationships with other people (friends, enemies, mentors, coworkers, etc): Weak friendship bonds with former high school volleyball teammates such as Tyfanni Hopana, former Tar-jay coworkers, and former roommates Marlowe and Remy. Strong friendship bonds with the fellow Firebreathing Kittens. She briefly dated Michael the minotaur paladin, but he was scared of her teeth. She met Richard Matthews, Ph.D. in Self Maid Man and they've been getting along well. He is very into her. She helped Melathia get set up in Niqamui as an actress.

==Background==
Olive played volleyball as back row defense in her school days. Former teammate: Tyfanni Hopana. After
graduating she started working retail at Tarjay and moved into a shared apartment with room mates, Marlowe and Remy. They didn't really go out into the common area much and it was like living in an empty room and living room and kitchen. Without a team, she didn't practice as much as she did in school and her
sedentary ways and overeating had caught up to her. She'd been
overweight for approaching half a decade now. At the time point when she joined the
story of the Firebreathing Kittens, she had just started taking 蜥蜴道 (とかげどう, tokagedou) monk courses through correspondence with the Way of the Open Hand correspondence school. Lizardfolk life expectancy is that they don't make it past 60, so her 23 years old is closer to 35 in human years. Joining the guild is a bit like her "mid-life crisis" or just a normal re-evaluation of looking at where you've landed and deciding to leap again. 
Her favorite story growing up was the version of Ricky of the Tuft that can be read in Chapter 36 of the webtoon "The Makeup Remover" because it's about inward versus outward beauty and she is a crocodile. 
By the time she had reached level 10 in monking with the Firebreathing Kittens, she had gone on her first date in a long time and had lost ten pounds from all the walking. Michael the minotaur paladin dumped her after a bad spaghetti dinner. She recently met and started dating Richard, a crocodile-person who works as a researcher at Niqamui Museum of Natural History. He is very into her. 
After Sea Scouts and Theatre Bouts, Olive had a self-examination of what being an adult meant, and moved out of the shared apartment with Marlowe and Remy. They needed a roommate, so she helped Melathia the snake woman from Brownies, Bombs, and Beef move into her old room and pre-paid her rent for two years. 
==Adventures==
Olive has been in the following adventures: 
* Don't Drink the Water Olive got to hide as a log floating in water and pounce up, bite an emu, and drag the giant bird back into the water to do death rolls. It was a very satisfying fight for a crocodile-like lizardfolk. 
* Djinner Party Olive narrowly escaped being a swimming pool snack after a dinner party on a luxury yacht cruise.
* Fern Burn Learned about druids, got to travel to the plane of fire, explored a nice rock cave on a beach, met a mermaid piranha.
* The Sting Olive sampled some gnomish alcoholic beverages and fine art museum gala cheese.
* Tuba Tubers Olive thought about basking in the desert sun but ended up hiding for cover in the town jail and a half finished root cellar. Some potato blight veins go too deep for one team to fix.
* Trial and Error: Olive got to burn down an empty house, make fish pie and stew, and she took home an air fryer! Two truths and a lie:
** Truth: Olive has never tried ice cream. (Her crocodile jaws are very large so she'd have to bite the whole scoop at once. It just didn't look like it was going to work out for her, so she hasn't tried.)
** Truth: Olive has never traveled outside of Guaso.
** Lie: Olive took a community college course on miming. She did not.
* The Apple of Discord: Olive learned how far she could throw a halfling. This is the adventure she exchanged her puffy white shirt for a white half robe Jedi style battle sarong. 
* But Tell Us About the Giant Worm?: After Beans asked her, she joined Harlon in helping out Yu-Tung Didaskalou part time at the Tastes Like Crepe cafe and restaurant for a month while new staff could be hired.
* Meh-thical Dilemmas It is somewhat unclear whether or not Olive feeding the mysterious silver potion to the goblin was murder or reckless endangerment. The case never went to trial. 
* A Pirate's Life Olive resolved never to let someone else be in charge of shining her light. Also, she was called a "swamp dolphin". 
* Thirsty Beach Olive met Michael, a paladin, and a pretty cool dude. After the adventure they went on a date throwing bombalfruit for target practice, had fun, and decided to be just friends. 
* The Boy Who Cried Worm: Olive tried to try some foreign food but it didn't work out. She lost an air fryer, a gold backless ball gown, and a good friend. 
* Troll Training: Olive's head hurts and she doesn't remember this adventure very well. 
* How To Construct A Siege: Olive's real reason for joining the Firebreathing Kittens? Because she wasn't satisfied working at Tarjay and coming home to absent roommates Marlowe and Remy, who were never home and didn't really care about her. She joined Firebreathing Kittens for the same reason she played volleyball: to be on a team. 
* The Glyphed Bowl of Crisperon: Olive met someone who just wanted to open a flower shop, but was taken from this world too soon. 
* The Skaarzborroosh Redemption: After this adventure, Olive said goodbye to her friends and spent some time in prison. 
* Emmental Tales: Olive's grandmother gives the adventurers a bit of a group therapy session with cheese fumes. 
* A Perfect Fit: If clothes don't have holes in them, what's the problem? 
* Missives From A Corpse: Playing detective was so fun! Remember to ornately carve your pineapples ;) 
* Self Maid Man: A great way to get over getting dumped is to go on an adventure with your friends. Who knows, you might even meet someone new. 
* Fangs For The Memories: Olive got to think about what it is that makes someone a "monster". 
* All Dogs Go to Changeling Heaven: The thing about milk-inspired puns is you only reach 2% of their potential. 
* Love Fest: Olive learned she really shouldn't try to sneak; she's no rogue. 
* The People's Prom: It was a party for the people. 
* Sea Scouts and Theatre Bouts: "I hope I never see you again," Punnett had said in the adventure 'Love Fest'. 
* Paw and Order: UFO: Firebreathing Kittens, in space! She lost some teeth. 
* Of Art and Arson: How to go into debt real fast: burn down a mansion. 
* Cross Crusty Running: She felt she had a responsibility to not allow the system to perpetuate victimization. This one was kinda heavy. 
* Brownies, Bombs, and Beef: After this adventure, Olive bought Melathia an amulet of translation and pre-paid an apartment for her, to help her adjust to life in Niqamui and pursue her dream of being an actress. 
* Culture Clash: Olive remains really curious what that kilt guy was there for. A demon hunter? Next time, she won't go off and take a nap, and maybe she'll get a chance to find out. No more naps. 
* Rollo D6: Olive thought about it. Why does she think all the evil people are adorable? She shrugged her alligator shoulders. It's a mystery. 
*Ghost Tea Party: Olive bought a boat! The guild already had a little rowboat called The Sparrow, so she named this large galley ship crewable by three or more people The Jack Sparrow. :)
*Birds Of A Heather: Hell is other people. 
*Sappy Little Trees: "After all, one can't complain. I have my friends." -Eeyore. "The things that make me different are the things that make me, me." -Piglet. "Nom nom nom nom nom (sap)" -Olive. 
*I'm A Feyed Knot: Olive learned how to make red velvet orange cake! Although she still thinks there should be some meat in there somewhere. This will be a great hit at the guild hall (incorrect).
*Out Of Time: They grow up too fast. 
*The Trial of Tanager Goodfellow: One way to overcome your personal flaw ("I indulge in a habit that threatens my health (overeating and sedentary lifestyle") is to learn healthy eating habits. Another, equally viable way that happens to make people less afraid of you, is to realize that as a level 19 monk you don't have to ever eat again. Problem solved. 
*The Devil We Know: The Season 2021 Finale! No spoilers :)
