Olivia

**Olivia** is the lover of Gerald Wimbledon.

## Appearance

Her facial features possess a peculiar charm, her small and thin body had an inexplicable sense of steadiness and gentleness.

## Personality

Despite her seeming weakness, Olivia is a persistent woman. For the sake of surviving, she suffered continuous abuse waiting a chance to quit her sore life. The baby from Gerald was her only joy, and she vowed to protect and raise him no matter what.

## Background

She worked in a tavern when she met Gerald during one of his annual assignments to Coldwind Ridge as commander of Graycastle's frontier forces. When he saw her, he immediately fell in love with her.

Due to her low-born status Gerald couldn't marry Olivia on that moment, so he bought a house in Coldwind Ridge where they lived during winter. However, he intended to marry her after ascending the throne.

## Chronology

After the death of Gerald, her quiet life came to an end. Guards assigned by Gerald left her, the house was robbed, leaving her without any source of income, so she had no choice but to return to work in tavern. The owner was still bitter about her sudden leave, he kept molesting her and coerced her to sleep with him. His wife didn't dare to face him, she vented her anger on Olivia, constantly humiliating and bullying her.

By Roland's command all citizens of Coldwind Ridge were evacuated to Deepvalley Town. Olivia went to the castle area after dark and asked Roland to help her. After listening her story he offered her to move to the Western Region, but she hesitantly refused to leave the Northern Region. In the end, she was promised a job in City of Evernight.

When she was about to leave, Roland asked her about Gerald's child, to which she lied that he hadn't left any. She did so to hide the existence of Gerald's son from him, afraid of losing the baby.

When Roland became king, Olivia was brought to live in Neverwinter under the cover story she was Schelo's caretaker; Schelo was announced to be Gerald's and a late noble lady's child, in case anyone questions his decision to marry a witch. However, Roland believes that Gerald's child was not a threat to him and could be replaced at any time. Even though the child might ultimately never become the king, he would still be widely discussed and could greatly raise the subjects' spirits.

## Relationships

### Schelo (*Son*)

Cherishing her son from the deceased heir to the Wimbledons, she did whatever she could to ensure his survival. She even confronted Edith Kant, who had come to take them away to Neverwinter, to make sure her son wouldn't be disposed of in the future.

### Roland Wimbledon

Olivia was wary of Roland, unaware he doesn't care about the old concepts of succession and would have been more than willing to accept Schelo and herself as family. Prior to Roland's coronation/wedding, Olivia was told Schelo would be presented as the legitimate heir of Graycastle. To her own confusion and worry, she would be allowed to stay with him but the public would believe she was only his caretaker.
