Powers:
Plant sculpting. Olly can make living, moving sculptures out of plant. It isn't a particularly difficult ability to master, but due to his nature, Olly hasn't really given much effort into training his ability so he can only perform very basic feats. He favourite trick is making a duplicate of himself and sending it to class as a stand in for himself. The duplicate looks exactly like him, and does the job perfectly so long as it doesn't have to speak or move or do anything other than sit there.
Personality:
Olly enjoys life. He isn't a big complainer, and is content with life. He appreciates the the little things and as long as he has a a few good friends and a roof over his head, he is doing fine. He is also incredibly optimistic. When anything unfortunate happens to him he just shrugs and figures something good must be coming his way. He just expects the best from life and people, and doesn't let negativity into his life, no matter what happens. Olly is light hearted, but his has a subdued confidence about live, he just believes everything will work itself out eventually.
Olly believes everyone is walking their own path in life, and it not up to him to tell other how to live. Thus he is not the guy anyone comes to with their problems because he simply refuses to help. In his mind everyone has to figure out their own stuff in their own time. Not that Olly really has any issues, but is he did, he would solve them on his own, and would hate anyone trying to stick their nose in. After all it's his life and his path to walk.
Olly is fundamentally lazy. He's a real slacker, which shows in all aspects of his life. He doesn't really tend to keep many people as close friends, because he never really puts in the required effort for a friendship. Mostly people just grow frustrated with him, equating him not trying as him not caring. He is also failing almost every class due to his failure to attend a lot of classes, most mornings he just can't be bothered getting out of bed and going to class. He finds it all so boring. He also hasn't seen his family in three years as he just hasn't been bothered to go home during the holidays. He would see going home and dealing with his family as a serious drag.
Olly has a sense of humour about everything. No matter that situation or person, he is always making jokes, which frequently don't make sense or just don't land properly. He will also laugh at seemingly random non-funny things, because sometimes his sense of humour is a little bit far from the norm. Most teachers hope he doesn't show up for class because he can be a bit of a class clown, always distracting people with irrelevant jokes and laughing at things the teachers say. It's not his fault, and he doesn't want to come off disrespectful, he is just trying to make class a bit more fun for everyone.
Olly is really unreliable. He never shows up when you need him and when he does turn up its never ever one time. He doesn't mean to be rude or disrespectful, it's just that's who he is. he lives on his own clock, in his own little world. He is also a major quitter, he gives up on everything. He doesn't think there is anything in his life he's actually finished. He mostly quits because it either gets boring or too hard or too much effort to be bothered.
Olly is a pretty spaced out guy. He just never seems to be really focussed on anything, always just drifting through life. In fact a common joke through the Lyra dorm is that if he became any more relaxed he'd be a comatose patient. He isn't always fully there, and get easily confused, like he's just woken up and isn't really sure where he is. His family always joked that he was dropped on his head as a baby and never fully recovered.
History:
Olly is the second oldest of eight children. So needless to say he grew up in a very full household, which he has bitter-sweet feelings about. He liked having people around and always being the biggest group when they went places as a family. However he always had to share a room with his other siblings and was always being forced to take responsibility, and looking after his younger siblings drove him nuts. This may be why he now has an aversion to responsibility.
Since he was very young Olly spent a lot of time staying with his grandmother who lives a few towns over. Olly and his grandmother were very close, Olly reminded her of her dead husband with his relaxed and spacey nature, and Olly like being around someone who understood him. She was also always happy to have someone around to eat her cooking and Olly was always hungry. He spent all his school holidays there, and would frequently take off during the school year, skipping school without telling anyone he was leaving. His family would realise he was missing but they eventually learnt to stop worrying about Olly, he was always going to be off in his own little world.
It was his grandmother, who Olly confided in about his abilities. Olly came from a home with no other Fae-Bloods, but he had known about his ability to create plant sculptures since he was very young. He was eight years old and staying with his Grandmother when he was contacted by Charlesmont boarding school and invited to attend, which of course he refused, deciding it sounded like far too much work.
Three years later when he was eleven, his grandmother passed away. This meant Olly would no longer be able to run away to her when he couldn’t deal with his overwhelming family anymore. That’s when he decided that he would go to Charlesmont, he would have done anything to get a break from his family at that point. He is now in his final year at Charlesmont, with little to no plans for post-graduation.
