•• Her mother thought her chance at a happy life was squandered when her husband-to-be seemingly ran off and abandoned her; pregnant and alone in a region so far from her own home. Settling in the coastal port was unsettling but soon enough the woman had forged a place for herself among the locals as a talented seamstress. Some felt sympathy for the soon to be single mother and offered help in getting the small business off it's feet.

•• Five months before her little girl was born she met a man who she quickly became enamored with and vice versa. Widowed with four sons and a job that payed well but remained unstable in it's opportunities. It didn't take long for the couple's relationship to blossom further. Though neither pushed for marriage.

•• Early life was fulled with sitting and watching her mother repair and create all manner of clothing while her two eldest brothers had begun accompanying their father on simple salvages when the arose. Olive remained blissfully unaware to her origins, having no knowledge to the lack of blood relation. Growing older she couldn't comprehend the discontent expressions her second eldest sported toward their mother.

•• At age nine she had become curious enough about her father's job to want to see him in action for herself. But she was met with rejection. However, mischievous and conniving, Olive's twin brothers - and the two youngest males of the family - had similar thoughts to their young step-sister. Together the trio made a joint effort in sneaking onto the docked vessel before it set off.

•• At some point during a harsh swell she found herself falling off the side of the boat and into the churning waves. She couldn't hear the twin's panicked shouts over the roaring waves or their panicked admittance to their father to sneaking aboard without permission. The events that followed were a blur that ended when she came to, hacking saltwater from her lungs among a noisy herd of dewgong lounging on a rocky outcrop on the coast.

•• The feebas went unnoticed at first but after seeing the same tattered fin breach the water's surface for the eight time she exhausted girl went to investigate only for the pokémon to flee fearfully. Though a little put out, she didn't pursue the fish further after the third attempts. Yet it seemed to follow her as she aimlessly wandered the beach for any signs of civilization. Being young she didn't put much thought to the heavy feeling in her chest or the involuntary shivering her body was doing.

•• Illness was kicking in fast. It was something the dewgong picked up on rather quickly and prompted the little human into sleeping withing a group of them to keep warm. Three days without food and water were taking it's toll on the girl. By the eve of the third day she felt herself slipping in and out of consciousness, unaware of the feeling of weightlessness as she was lifted and carried.
[break][break]
•• Recovery was lengthy. Even after she was given the all clear by the doctors her worried parents were informed of the lasting effects exposure had left on their daughter. A weakened immune system and a heightened risk of pneumonia if ever negligent with her health. All in all it put a damper on her plans to follow in her father's and brother's footsteps.
[break][break]
•• Her stubbornness to salvage only grew as she aged. Even as her mother practically forced her into training tailoring profession like herself. Even her brothers grew overprotective to the point of smothering the girl. It was during a brief moment of escape on the beach that she encountered a familiar feebas.
[break][break]
•• The fish pokémon stuck with her after that second encounter. By age fifteen Olive had decidedly left school, more-so out of boredom and an effort to begrudge her parents. It angered them yes, but didn't do much else in the ways of persuasion. In the end her request was met half-way and she would be permitted to apprentice under her father with the condition she finish her secondary level education.
[break][break]
•• At present she finds herself at peace with her chosen profession, and always mindful of her health. Though her feebas partner worries enough for them both. lately she's found herself interested in the marine pokémon life she so often overlooked when swimming. Enough of an interest to research it.
