Background:
Olivia's exact age is not know, she was born a slave. She knew her mother, but she has never found out who her father was. She has some ideas, she knew he was not a man who would acknowledge a child gotten on a slave. Her first master was an elderly man, set well in the society of the South at the time. He never approved of his daughters attachment to Olivia. Olivia was sold in her middle teen, to a young doctor. It was a common practice at the time, for wealthy men to buy a mistress, keep her housed, and cared for. Olivia had two sons with William. She almost grew to care for him. Her children were her love and life. William may have been intelligent, but he was not wise. He lost almost all of his money to a shady business man who went by the name of Gregor. William sold off Olivia and their children to pay his debt to Gregor.

The days, months and years slowly pasted. For Olivia it was only the bitterness and anger that she felt that helped her get though each day. She worked in the house cleaning, oblivious to all that was around her. Gregor was the owner of the Plantation she now worked on. He had orchestrated everything. He had introduced William to another woman to take William's mind off of Olivia. He had tricked William into losing all him money. In the end he had cause William to lose everything. Gregor never spoke with Olivia, he only watched her from a distance. At night he would try to make his advances on her. Olivia would sometimes be able to hold him off. She detested the coldness of his skin.

The only peace that she was able to find was under the tutelage of the plantain's Manbo. The Manbo was a free mulatto woman who nursed the injured slaves. To the whites of the area she was nothing more that the colored birthing woman. As long as they did not have to pay the white Doctor to come and treat the sick, they gave Ezelia the freedom to practice her trade. To the slaves of the plantain Ezelia was a true holy woman. All the slaves attended the small church that was set aside for them. Some like Olivia went to the other meeting. It was not pity that brought Ezelia to Olivia's side, she had seen so many stories like hers, too many to count. 

It was the spark of magic that Ezelia sensed in Olivia that caused her to start to teach Olivia her secrets. Ezelia was growing old, it was time for her to pass her knowledge on to an apprentice. Olivia absorbed all that Ezelia could teach her everything from herb craft, to the birthing of babies, to the names of the Lwa and other spirits. Ezelia passed on to the other side early one cold winter's morning. It was Olivia who the slaves now turned to for help. War had just broken out. North against the South.

At this same time there was another war going on in New Orleans, one that mortals were not aware of. Many were used as pawns, buy all the side of this war. It was Olivia's innate talent that caught the attention of those running these power struggles. Her Embrace occurred just after the war ended in 1865. Tiegue acted sooner than Anat had hoped he would. Though Olivia was active among the Kin immediately after she was embraced, she has spent a over a century in seclusion and study.
