Olivia (FE)

Olivia is a character from the Fire Emblem Awakening games.

Olivia is a dancer who travels across the continent in a theater troupe. In the past during one of Olivia's performances, a noble man was smitten by her and plotted to kidnap and marry her. However, Basilio stepped in and prevented this and Olivia has been grateful to him ever since. She can have a son named Inigo, provided she does marry.

In the AWA fics, Olivia is a student at the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Olivia has a long pink curly hair tied in a high ponytail with two braids as sidetails and has pink eyes. She wears a rather revealing belly dancer attire complete with white long cloths, yellow chokers and transparent baggy pants.

Personality
Olivia is extremely shy and withdrawn, but a dancing genius with many fans across the lands. She is shown to be insecure and a bit of a pessimistic thinker, especially when conversation comes to her own skill, and she is terrified of disappointing others. She states to Chrom that she is only good at dancing, which even then, she feels she is inadequate in doing, and this results in her stage fright. Due to her anxious demeanor, Olivia is easily startled, shown to cry out when surprised in at least one support conversation with nearly any one of her partners. This also displays her fear when surprised or when around strangers, likely caused by the time a noble attempted to abduct her. She can summon more of her strength than usual for the sake of others, often being judgmental and pushy in the process, and above all she wishes to make people smile. Her dream is to open her own theater, and she is dedicated to seeing this dream realized.

Despite Olivia's shy and socially awkward demeanor, she is comfortable around the more crude and loud members of the army. This is made most obvious by her close relationship with Basilio, and her supports with Chrom where they discuss how she met the former. Although she is often painfully shy, Olivia is open about her feelings most of the time, quick to explain herself in any situation or to ask for assurance that her actions did not appear to be strange. She can overcome her anxiety to speak frankly when pushed too far or when it comes to her work; she does not, however, find it as easy to discuss more personal thoughts and feelings. While she is embarrassed by compliments and kind words, Olivia is openly affectionate and caring towards her partner, if married.

Abilities
Olivia is the only Dancer unit in the game and true to her class' defining traits, she is a dodging expert with high Speed, Skill, and Luck Growths. However, being extremely fragile and starting at level 1 on the final chapter of the first half of the game, Olivia will need to be handled with care for her recruitment chapter and for much initial level grinding. As long as she does not come into contact with the enemy, she can leave the offensive duties to the units that are more capable. Her utility skill Special Dance makes her dancing much more potent, as those she dances for gets stronger offensively and defensively for that turn on top of reinvigorating that unit. Her high speed, skill, and luck support boosts benefit her partner in a Pair Up.

Olivia could possibly be used offensively as a dancer, but she is built more as a support unit than an offensive one. However, once she is reclassed a couple of times, she can be a decent attacker. Despite this, her low movement can give her difficulties catching up with other units, though giving her Boots can remedy this.
