Oliviana Tate

OLIVIANA TATE
Lady Oliviana Tate is the sole surviving member of the House of Tate, a family of minor nobility from Raven Hill, Duskwood. For several generations, her family held lands near the borders of Westfall and Elwynn, though after the fall of Raven Hill, the Tates relocated to Darkshire. She is a mage who specializes in pyromancy and transmutation, although her skills are not as great as other mages of her age due to her studies being hindered by her family. They were very traditional, and wished Oliviana to remain in Duskwood, devoting herself to a husband and family of her own. Her parents were also bitter and resentful of Stormwind and the Alliance, due to the perceived abandonment of Duskwood following the curse unleashed by the discovery of the Scythe of Elune. While prone to bouts of resentment, Oliviana tries to see the bigger picture;  the Alliance has much bigger problems to deal with, and help will come to Duskwood. The people just need to be patient.

Oliviana's nobility shines through in her manner of speaking and in her attire, though on the whole, she cares little for it. She appreciates and enjoys the relative freedom her title affords her, though she despises formality, and would much rather be called Livi than Lady Oliviana. After a series of very unfortunate events, she sold what remains of her inheritance, and moved to Stormwind, where she joined The Silver Hand Chapter. She is under the guardianship of her uncle, Lord George Ruxton of Stormwind.

Description
"A burst of flame in the darkness;  blood-red and bold."

Elegant: this is the word best used to describe Oliviana. Clad in the finest attire money can buy, or her own skill create, she is always dressed impeccably, favouring robes and dresses fortified by enchantments. She is not a very tall woman, but the tilt of her chin and the way she carries herself with confidence seem to lend her a few extra inches of height. Her vibrant hair, a deep shade of auburn, is swept up in a bun, her fringe framing a pale, heart-shaped face. Her warm brown eyes are expressive, sparkling with warmth and, more often than not, a hint of mischief.

Personality wise, Livi is bold and vibrant, the art of pyromancy is well suited to her. She can be very stubborn and defiant, although this is becoming less apparent as she grows in life experience. She is playful at times, but can be quick to anger, although she never stays mad for long. While angry, she can say or do things she later regrets, and be can be harsh or antagonistic. Her worst fault is a tendency to focus on her own problems or situation at the expense of those suffered by the people around her. Underneath it all, however, she is basically a very decent woman who tries to do the right thing, and strives to act with kindness.
