Olive Everglade

"*Lumos Spotifico!*"
—Olive Everglade

A persuasive Gryffindor (borderline Slytherin) who has an expressive and soft face. She is ambitious, determined, nurturing, reckless, naïve, curious, energetic, enthusiastic, and mischievous. She is constantly skipping and frolicking. She loves animals and potions. She is really good at magic. She's allergic to eggs.

Her wand is 10 inches of surprisingly swishy ash wood with a unicorn tail hair core. An actual wand was crafted by RandomRaye for Negaoryx and described as follows: It has a homemade design, an antique color, a spiraling blade with rough and smooth areas and two spiral twists, a twine-wrapped grip, a mysterious green tone, and an aged and earthy patina.

## Background

She is a half blood. Her dad is Graham. Her mum is Delphine. Olive has many pets, including (but not limited to) a little beige mouse named Thimble, a cat named Thud, a bowtruckle named Honeysuckle, and three other pets named Sophocles and Galileo and Mopsie.

She has a special relationship with her dad. They are very close because her mum would go off on last-minute trips out of nowhere and it would just be the two of them, not knowing when she would come back.

Her house is hand-made. It's a cobb cottage. The material used to build it was mixed together by hand by friends of Olive's parents. Everything is built with an emphasis on natural light and the energy being able to flow through the house, and an emphasis on facing everything in the best direction for all of the magical plants that they grow inside the house and outside. Vines creep up the outside and come in through the windows and out the windows of other stories. There's a greenhouse attached to the back. When Olive was a little kid and she first moved out of her nursery into her big girl room, she would always be so obsessed with the plants in the greenhouse. She would go sneak in every night after her parents put her to bed and they'd find her every morning sleeping with the plants. Eventually, they just moved her furniture out of her bedroom and into the greenhouse instead. She sleeps in this greenhouse where she makes paper crafts of magical creatures that interest her that she finds on the many acres of land that her parents own. She has her parents enchant them so that they fly around the ceiling of the greenhouse. It's magically illuminated so that it always looks like there's starlight, even if there's not. Everything is just comfortable and warm. There are stacks of books in every single room of the house. There are stained glass windows in different colored glass. Each room has a different feel to it. The bathroom has ocean green and blue windows. It is very homey.

Olive actually doesn't know where she lives. They've moved so many times that she doesn't know at this point. She knows that they live in the country, but they moved around a lot because her mum is always afflicted by wanderlust and her father is always two steps behind her at her heels trying to keep up. Whenever she has a whim to move somewhere different and to change and to have a fresh scenery or a change of pace, he just says yes and takes them somewhere new. So Olive, a couple years back, stopped trying to remember the names of the different places they've lived because they always lived so far out, so many acres of land, that they rarely see anyone in a town anyway.

Olive's family, on their many acres of land, have two things they primarily do. They have land for farming of magical herbs and plants that they use. That's their business. They also have a small but steadily growing rescue that they're building of magical creatures that are injured or afflicted by something in some way.

As a result of their farming/plant business, her family usually eats whole, organic food. That is, their meals are normally as raw and as stripped down as possible composed of things that are very simple and clean with really strong flavors, e.g., fresh fruits, fresh veggies, really lush salads overflowing with color from the different fruits and vegetables that they grow on their own property.

Olive's family has many different kinds of creatures, including (but are not limited to) hippogriffs (Cassiopeia), cats, rabbits, salamanders, and toads.

Because she is an only child and often lives in remote places, she's not used to interacting with children her own age.

On an ordinary summer day, Olive can always be found either taking care of the creatures or tending to one of the many, many fields that they have of different plants. On such a day, she was skipping through one of their plant fields. As she skipped through the field of plants and sang good morning to everything, they reached out to tickle her and to pull at her hair to say good morning back. After a while, she took a break for lunch with her mum, who handed off her acceptance letter which came in the post. Olive tried to convince her mum to let her bring more than one pet to Hogwarts (like Sophocles and Galileo), but failed to do so.

Before school starts, her dad took her to Diagon Alley to buy supplies. She tried to convince her dad to let her bring more than one pet to Hogwarts (Sophocles and Galileo and Mopsie), but he also said no. At Ollivander's, she met Heath (right outside the shop) and Ophelia Ollivander (and her peacock), who helped her find her wand. Olive considered haggling on the price of the wand, but decided she'd better not.

On September 1, 2019, she took the Hogwarts Express, where she met Rosalina, Clementine, Masie, and Alexander. Prior to meeting them, she had found an empty train cabin and unpacked a bunch of her stuff (not just clothing, but little trinkets and several books that she's opened as well as little homemade toys for a small animal (Thimble) scattered about and little bags with snacks of seeds, nuts, dried fruit, etc. that her mum packed for her) without thinking that anyone else would join her, so much so that it looks more like a girl's bedroom than a train cabin. Olive got a Cauldron Cake from the Honeydukes Express Trolley.

Her luggage set is composed of many, many bags of different sizes. There's a weird steamer trunk and there's grandma floral print carpet bags like Mary Poppins. There's also coin pouches in one of the bags. She ate one of the Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. It tasted like toffee.

## Hogwarts

She began her education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the fall of 2019.

At Hogwarts, she is a Gryffindor and a member of S.W.O.F.F., a group of friends that includes Masie Skyler, Alexander Pippin, Clementine Goosanders, Rosalina Earthcloud, Barney Dogwood, Lily Luna Potter, Albus Severus Potter, Scorpius Malfoy, and Blaine Buttersworth.

She shares a dormitory room with Masie Skyler, Clementine Goosanders, Lily Luna Potter, Laurel Buckton, Ember Dots, Hayden Magpie, and Beverley Buttercup.

While under the Sorting Hat, she was offered Gryffindor and Slytherin. She told the Sorting Hat that if it had wanted to put her in Slytherin, he would've done so already, and she requested to be with her new friends, Masie and Clementine, in Gryffindor.

Her friends call her the Hero of Hogwarts because she defeated the Shade in the Vanished Wing in Year 1.

In Year 1, she seemed to have a crush on Roger Bristlecomb. In Year 3, she seemed to have some feelings for Rosie, but she expressed to Masie that she has trouble figuring out how she feels about anyone. She has so far been oblivious about Clem's crush on her.
