Olivia Stormblaze is a major supporting character in both The Forgotten Memoir and Cursed by Blood. She is one of the earliest members of the Stormblaze Line and is one of the two surviving members. She is incredibly powerful and forged the Blood Eyed Curse.

### Personality

Olivia is a quick-witted and logical person. She doesn't hesitate to always put herself first and doesn't usually care for many people - as she knows that she'll outlive them. She is confident in what she says and does and has a superior complex to almost everyone.

### History

#### 5,000 Years Prior Cursed by Blood

Olivia was born into the Stormblaze Line as 'Olivia Stormblaze' 5000 years prior to the events in Cursed by Blood. The exact date of her birth is unknown. The names of her parents are also unknown, but it was revealed that she had an older brother with the name Gilbert Stormblaze. She was born in the era where the Three Substantial Dynasties had split and were all in hiding. The Stormblaze in particular were accused of treason and witchcraft, for it was seen that their existence contradicted the 'true' deities that the citizens of Xotia believed in, and hid in the Xotian Underworld.

One day, Emmaline Valreaux came across Olivia practicing sorcery. Excited that she finally found of magic, she begged for Olivia to meet her mother, but Olivia refused and denied anything. She dropped the bodies she was dragging and ran up to her. Seeing the corpses, Olivia asked who she was, Emmaline explained how she was forced into dirty work, Olivia told her to forget everything or else she'd make her forget - which only led Emmaline to more questions. Finally, Olivia gave in and revealed that she was a mage and Emmaline promised not to tell anyone, teaching Olivia about a pinky promise.

After that day, Emmaline and Olivia met up regularly. Olivia would show her the new spells she learnt, the potions she was taught and educated her on her family. Eventually, Olivia was initiated into the Stormblaze Line and was dragged into a vow. The days after her initiation, she was worked to death: bombarded with paperwork, spell books, and grimoires that she had to memorise. Yet, she always had time to meet up with Emmaline.

One day, Emmaline did not show up.

When Olivia woke up the next day, she woke up to dead bodies all around her. Every single member of her family was dead. she felt for her brother’s, Gilbert, pulse, but there was nothing. There was a throbbing at her neck, she quickly touched it and dug her fingers into a wound, coating her fingers with thick blood: she was meant to be dead. At that, she peered out the window, she saw someone with familiar snowy locks standing on a building with a bloody sword in her grasp.

Emmaline had killed her family.

This caused discord within the entire Empire of Xotia as the threat of Emmaline Valreaux spread to Topside. Guards were sent to kill her, yet she remained the victor. Things stayed like this for three months, until Olivia finally decided to do something.

With the innate devotion to the royals, Olivia went to Topside and requested a meeting with the Queen at the time, revealing herself as Olivia Stormblaze, a member of Stormblaze. At that, almost every guard pointed their swords and spears to her, but she reminded them of the threat of Emmaline and proposed a plan to help the monarchy deal with her.

They came up with a plan to trick Emmaline Valreaux - offer her a noble title, though one with little power, in exchange to not harm anyone, especially the royals. Whilst Olivia went out to create a new spell, an incantation never before said, and searched for a Pythia and Satoru, Emmaline was called to the palace, where she was offered nobility. Emmaline wasn't stupid however and demanded a noble role and the royals promised her the First Duhcy, Galdenbrough, to be hers if she eliminated the rest of the Stormblaze Line - unknowing to Olivia. Emmaline agreed, but only if they would rename the Duchy to Valreaux, which they agreed to, and if she was allowed to do whatever and follow whatever laws, which again they agreed to; only if Emmaline would not harm the monarchs. Emmaline agreed to the terms.

When Olivia solved everything, she had a jar of a Pythia and Satoru blood, in order to make the spell as strong as possible, and returned to the palace. Olivia stayed there, unknowing that Emmaline had just slaughtered the rest of her Line. They finally called Emmaline to the palace and the royals told Olivia that they had explained everything to her already.

> "Emmaline of Valreaux, do you agree to the terms set out before you by the monarchs of Xotia?" Olivia asked.
> "I do." Emmaline smirked with her hand out, "Gonna slice my hand, Liv?"
>
>

Olivia handed the Queen a knife, which she sliced her hand, and then passed it to Emmaline. Emmaline did the same and they joined hands whilst Olivia said her incantation with the right hand doused with the blood of Pythia and her left with Satoru. However, the spell went exactly how the terms were in accordance to House of de Casteret and Emmaline.

Olivia went home to the rest of her Line dead and Emmaline left the Palace as the Duchess of Valreaux, the First Duchy, and ally to the throne.

It was later revealed that the curse's terms were:

> "No one shall harm those with the blood of de Casteret. The legacy of Valreaux shall last forever, with markings on their eyes housing the blood of those bound to this vow. A Stormblaze may not harm a de Casteret without consequence, a Pythia may not harm a de Casteret without consequence, a Satoru may not harm a de Casteret without consequence. As for Valreaux, they shall reign as long as they do not touch a de Casteret, for it will replicate whatever is inflicted."

Enraged, Olivia tried to undo the curse but its power was so great due to involving the blood of those important. Overtime, she grew stronger and added one more thing to the curse:

> "Ceasing of the curse ceases those involved, bar the ones who house divine blood."

### Relationships

#### Kasmirina Stormblaze

Kazi is the last surviving member of the line who has not been initiated, and because of that, Olivia has not died yet due to the vow. When Kazi was born, Olivia placed a protection charm on her, one that made it so her presence was completely masked from anyone and anything - helping her survive in the Underworld. It was best to keep Kazi's lineage a secret and her potential hidden as Olivia did not want a repeat of what happened many years ago.

#### House of Valreaux

##### Emmaline Valreaux

Emmaline and Olivia were extremely close friends. They met when they were younger, before Emmaline had become nobility.
