__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
With a tall, slender and curvy build, deep russet fur and sweet, brown eyes, Olivia looks every bit of the ideal Damhnait belle. A cute cervine face doesn't hurt her chances, either. Working in the metal and mechanical industry has given her a fair amount of meat on her bones, and although it doesn't affect her physique much, it's quite the shocker to most men when they see the pretty lady show off her muscles.

No one is going to see Olivia wearing pretty dresses and cute hats; she prefers the comfortable clothes of her work. A drab green long button up shirt covers her torso, with the top two or three buttons undone to reveal a white t-shirt underneath, all tucked into a brown pair of cargo pants. Black steel toe works boots, a thick, worn leather apron, welding gloves and a well stocked tool belt complete her daily attire, although from time to time she also dons a pair of torch cutting goggles on her forehead.

Personality
Arguably one of the hardest working people in Deep Wells, Olivia is known for her strong work ethic and no nonsense way of thinking. Honest and practical, she resents lectures and long, tedious directions where a simple explanation would suffice, and disdains anything that isn't functional or serves no purpose other than aesthetics. Her expertise in the field of mechanics and metal is better than that found in the cities, due to practical experience and hands on training, and she charges a fair rate for her services. Diplomacy, however, is not her specialty, and often gets frustrated when having to negotiate prices with cheap customers.

However, as anyone will tell a traveler coming through Deep Wells, Olivia is probably the easiest person in town to get along with, provided you don't interrupt her work. Her warm, friendly smile, and arsenal of friendly teasings are the first thing to greet a customer, and, often, a small kiss on the cheek for regulars. To say she's liberal with her affections, however, would be a fallacy, and asking her about it would be one of the few ways to actually offend her. Needless to say, she's a kind and understanding lady, and does what she can to be fair with her business.

Magic/Abilities
Metal Fabrication- If it's made of metal, and you've got the materials, she can build it. Olivia loves working with metal in all forms, and is more than proficient in all forms of welding, soldering, and general metal forming. She can even make a decent sword using modern hardware, but she's by no means a blacksmith. Her knowledge of metal, however, is mainly practical and self taught, so any sort of higher metallurgical questions would fly over her head.

Mechanical Repair and Servicing- Since her skills in metal working are often employed for repairs on vehicles, farm equipment and other sorts of mechanical devices, Olivia has gotten to be proficient at turning a wrench on things. While vehicle engines are her primary specialty, she can easily repair a range of hydraulic machinery including her faulty cutting press.   

Relationships
Dr. John Tulbert: Town doctor, and Olivia's adoptive father. Although slightly disappointed that his daughter didn't go into the medical field, he feels she made the right choice, and supports her through anything she does, although he is a little rigid with her concerning potential boyfriends. She also has the benefit of cheap healthcare.

Mrs. Sarah Tulbert: Olivia's adoptive mother. Loves her daughter and hopes some day she can find a good boyfriend.

Marcus Dexter: Former boss and current secretary. Advises her in business decisions and handles most of the paperwork of the shop, filing taxes and writing receipts for customers. He sees Olivia as a good friend and keeps a shotgun under his desk just in case of more "touchy" clients. He can be a little crazy at times, but he does a solid job.

History
Olivia isn't quite sure who her real parents were; left at the doorstep of the town doctor in Deep Wells, she was effectively an orphan. As a young child, she struggled a bit trying to understand why her parents were human and how she wasn't, but it didn't necessarily affect her relationship with her adoptive parents, who raised her like their own. As a teenager, she started showing an interest in building things and working with her hands, and at the age of 17, she got her first job working at a small fabrication shop in town owned by a man named Marcus Dexter, where she learned to weld and work with metal. After about six years, Marcus, growing older and tired,was so impressed with her abilities that he actually transferred ownership of the business to Olivia. Over the last four years, it's been a time learning the ins and outs of running the shop (she actually hired Marcus to help her with the paperwork), but her expertise in the work has ensured her a steady stream of business.
