## Biography

### Early childhood

Alba Skaði Oleastro was born in 2022, to Cândida Tofte and Gregory Oleastro. She has three siblings; Adonis, Aurora and Athaliah.

Her father was not the kindest man in the world, but he managed to hide that part of him from those on the outside. He especially fooled his fellow co-workers at the Ministry of Magic in England, and somehow managed to keep his job working a prominent member of the Regulation and Care of Magical Creatures department. But, he abused this position and power when he was sent away on tasks and business trips. Gregory loved Nymphs, Vampires and Werewolves. More importantly the female ones, and most importantly sleeping with them. Gregory was just having fun on his business trips and never intended anything to come from these late night adventures, but Gregory was now the father who he would raise these children in exchange for money given by their mother's for taking on the responsibility of such a noble task.

Cândida Tofte was employed with the Norwegian Ministry in one of their many departments as an Investigator. She worked closely with different species of Beasts, Beings, and Spirits. She loved loved her job and made it her life's work, as a half-breed herself it was personal to her. She crossed paths with Gregory Oleastro while he too was investigating the separate cases on the Catalonian Fireball and Thestral. While Gregory was enjoying some downtime on his work-related staff gathering in Lanuza, Spain, he met Cândida. Their late February tryst resulted in the birth of one of his half-breed daughters. Cândida wasn't the normal human woman Gregory thought she was. She wasn't even simply a witch, she was Half-Nymph, an Ice Nymph. Gregory came to learn this knowledge while trying to raise their part-nymph daughter.

She thought she was going to be a normal little squib until the first time she used magic. She remembers the first time, she alone when it happened. She was five and a half when she cut and subsequently healed herself. She was playing with a large shard of a broken two-way mirror. It was a piece of glass big enough that she could see her reflection in. Prior to her magic making itself known her father began regularly bringing home new babies. When he started referring to them as her siblings she wasn't happy about it. The more he did it, the more it stuck. It all started with the raven-haired one, he was called Adonis. She was eight when she tried to convince her father to let her name one of her sisters. Her father almost idiotically let Alba name one of the girls *Alruna* because she wanted to so badly. He steadfastly refused. No matter how much she begged, the new baby was named Athalia. Aurora followed shortly after her. At around eleven years old Alba got her way nicknaming this sister Rory.

## Adult Life

She assured him that while Belby & Binns did in fact have a solid amount of sideshow freaks employed with them, she was not going to be one of them.

In order to bring in enough of an income to eat and live comfortably she's got to work multiple jobs. She's vital to the bosses at Belby & Binns, she works there both as a performer and healer for the circus staff.

## Personality and traits

Alba happens to be one of those few people who are capable of enjoying the beauty of bad weather. She likes standing in the freezer section at the grocery store. She's known for gnawing on flavored popsicles then chewing on the stick. She's moody and unpredictable, she thinks she's gotten a lot of that from her father. She's not naturally like him. It's something she feels is true deep in her bones and she fights to not be like him on a regular basis. She can be cold or emotionless, but she see's that behavior as a survivor's mentality. She's hard to love because she likes keeping people at an arms length. If it weren't for the mother hen tendencies she has with her siblings it'd be easy to think she doesn't like them as much as she dislikes the human race. She prefers solitude, she likes being alone but only for predetermined stretches to time. She has times when she will literally cut herself off from the entire world. It's incredibly selfish and she doesn't care all that much either.

Her younger siblings would've needed him and she'd never forgive herself for destroying whatever better life they might have because he was in it.
