"I've fought my way this far"; Glaring at a dicriminate world
Personality: Olivia is pretty much a misanthrope. She holds a contempt for the human race in general for their petty judgmentalism, close-mindedness, and selfishness. She will almost always expect the worst, until you prove to her that something better is possible (which is why the only people she trusts at all are her âfamilyâ- AKA Sang-Kyu). Sheâs a fighter, though. Even though she expects the world to be against her, she fights to prove she has worth and to get what she feels she deserves. She believes people couldnât care less about her, so sheâs not afraid to return the favor, which eases her mind in terms of killing. Sheâs very clever, too. Sheâs not one for exact answers, largely because she doesnât believe the world is so black and white as that, so she hates math and physics- but she does love to figure out how things work, so she loves mechanics and social studies(particularly Psychology).
Alignment: Neutral
Steamborg parts: Mechanically enhanced spinal column, and complete mechanical legs
Weapons: Two detachable guns in her thighs, A grenade launcher built into her lower legs, and retractable blades and wheels in her feet.
Background: She was born about three years after Sang-Kyu, and despite him being blind for her first two years, they got along well. Afterwards, they played and became great friends. He always tried to help her, even though his health wasnât the best. The when Olivia got old enough to notice, she found that many adults seemed to have unsure opinions about her father and brother. This confused her.
Her brotherâs torso surgery concerned her at first, but when it was finally explained that it would make him healthier, she supported it all the way. Unfortunately, after people found out, people started treating their family with contempt. They judged her father for âwhat he did to his sonâ and looked down on Sang-Kyu , calling him inhuman. It didnât seem to occur to them that five-year-old Olivia understood what they meant. And when she stood up for her brother, the children of the other wealthy families threw taunts and teases at her, too. Why were they so heartless? Would they rather Sang-kyu have died?
And a year later, when it became clear that Sang-Kyu would pull through and live a normal life, there was an âaccidentâ. The family had taken Sang-Kyu for his final check up, and since Olivia was getting tired, Mister Grisham sent her and her mother home early, saying that they didnât all need to wait up. As the car they rode in left, they were followed by some radical conservatives who thought the whole family was inside. Having rigged their car to blow, they rammed the car containing Olivia and her mother into another car. Luckily, the car didnât explode as spectacularly as planned, so the damage was significantly less.
By luck, I mean, while both members of the family should have died, Olivia survived. Though severely injured, she was rushed to the clinic her father sponsored to be treated. In the end, the attack paralyzed her. She hated the wheelchair it forced her to use, and she eventually asked her father whether or not there was anything that could be done. Reluctant as he was to cause more trouble for the family by altering his second child, Mister Grisham couldnât stand to let her suffer as she did. Olivia was given a new pair of legs when she was seven.
For the next several years, the family was basically cut off from most of ârespectableâ society. This shunning only increased Oliviaâs misanthrope. Life became harder and harder for Mister Grisham until he just couldnât take the stress. A week after Sang-Kyu turned 15, Mister Grisham moved the family to Argentville to escape high society, where he enrolled his children in a new school there for steamborgs.
