#Olivia Maeda

[sweet-vanilla-sims]

Year 1605 Part 1:

The house grew more lively in anticipation of the triplet’s birthday. 

Susanna got scared of the wolf hunts even though she wasn’t one she couldn’t help but fear that her alien features would put her in the spotlight in some way eventually and so she chose to leave town for a while. She also thought it was about time she actually consider getting married and starting her own family.

Rachel gave birth to her fourth child, Olivia, on May 19th after George and Marieta had their first birthdays. 

Just a few weeks later, Parnell delivered her son Daichi on July 6th.

LEYLA SELVI (BURCU OZBERK) IS LOOKING FOR…

Connection:  "Invisible" Friend

Suggested Name:  UTP

Age Range:  UTP

Species:  UTP

Suggested FCs:  UTP, but some suggestions are Victoria Strada, Virginia Gardner, Sung Hoon, Sang-Heon Lee, Reina Hardesty, Praneet Akilla, Olivia Liang, Nicola Coughlan, Michael Cimino, Mackenyu Maeda etc.

Connection Description:

Being a fae, Leyla can and will often turn invisible, especially when embarrassed, to get out of a situation or when she is pick pocketing.

Your character is someone who has bumped into Leyla in the past when she was invisible and, if it happened outside of the Cove, thought they were out of their mind, trying to track down the ghost they had a run in with.

Or if it happened within LC, they could have potentially chatted with a befriend Leyla, believing her to be a ghost or joking that she's a ghost despite knowing that she's a pixie, but having no idea what she actually looks like or who their invisible friend truly is.

Please be sure to contact the player before applying:

Year 1605 Part 3:

TW/CW: Infant Death, Child Death

While things were going well for the Shanks household, the Maeda family was hit hard in October when on the 17th, Lauretta’s breathing became difficult and no amount of steam helped making it unsurprising when she passed the next morning shortly after midnight. Three days later on the 21st, Olivia passed away in her sleep. As sad as it was, Samuel couldn’t help but be ever more grateful that his Marion was still doing well. 

Larissa and her husband decided that it was time to try for a child and she had no problem with the trying. When her pregnancy was confirmed she had a bit of fear wash through her after so many losses with Gideon and the bittersweetness of having a new child when both of her other children had long since passed. Still, excitement won out and she began to spend her days knitting clothes for her upcoming arrival

LEYLA SELVI (BURCU OZBERK) IS LOOKING FOR…

Connection: Baristi/a at the Daily Drip

Suggested Name: UTP

Age Range: UTP

Species: UTP

Suggested FCs: UTP, but some suggestions are Archie Renaux, Bae Suzy, Aybuke Pusat, Yoghurt Nattasha, Tunji Kasim, Lolo Spencer, Mackenyu Maeda, Olivia Holt, Kathryn Newton, Eva De Dominici etc.

Connection Description:

The Daily Drip is a popular coffee shop in Lunar Cove that opened about a year ago. Your character would be someone who works at the Daily Drip for Leyla.

They could be a Baristi/a. If they're a fellow pixie, they could create some of the secret menu items the Daily Drip offers such as an express-o shot which can make you feel almost any emotion instantaneously.

They could also help run the board game and trivia nights or host open mic nights at the Coffee shop. They could even get up on stage themselves to perform on occasion is they are into music.

But, either way, your character would be Leyla's right hand and who she trusts to run the store while she's away.

Please be sure to contact the player before applying:

So I’ve written a bit about her before here, but here is my interpretation of Olivia Green! I had originally told myself when I started writing my story not to do anything with her because I was sure JC would do something more with her first but...that didn’t happen. So of course my imagination went into overdrive.

I’m proud of how her acne came out! Worked a bit on lips before giving up. But I did shade this time!

OLIVIA GREEN

Half-blood - Ravenclaw - Half British, Half Japanese

Birthday: May 7th

First Wand: Beech, Phoenix core

     “The true match for a beech wand will be, if young, wise beyond his or her years, and if full-grown, rich in understanding and experience. Beech wands perform very weakly for the narrow-minded and intolerant. When properly matched, the beech wand is capable of a subtlety and artistry not seen in any other wood, hence its lustrous reputation.”  

Second Wand: Ebony, Phoenix core

     “Ebony wands have an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration. Ebony is happiest in the hand of those with the courage to be themselves. Frequently non-conformist, highly individual or comfortable with the status of outsider. In the experience of Garrick Ollivander, the ebony wand’s perfect match is one who will hold fast to his or her beliefs, no matter what the external pressure, and will not be swayed lightly from their purpose.”

Animagus: Red-crowned Crane

About Her:

Eccentric but in a fun way. People are confused by her but not put off. She’s generally liked but not popular.

Not the prettiest girl with a wide, square jaw, wide set eyes, and bad acne. She’s slightly self-conscious about her appearance (mostly because of her birth mother) but for the most part she doesn’t let it bother her. Nobody bullies her for her looks but her birth mother.

Not afraid to cut her own hair.

She likes to wear bright colors and push the boundaries of the dress code. None of the professors know what to do about her wearing neon pink leggings because it technically isn’t disallowed.

Was sorted into Ravenclaw but truly believes she was supposed to be in Gryffindor.

She did theatre as a kid. Liked acting and singing but hated her birth mother doing her hair for every performance. Once cut it before going on stage to her birth mother’s horror.

Known to give friends and random people odd nicknames. She calls Jacob Parker “Ol’ Banana Chips”, there’s no story behind it.

Both of her birth parents are magical but her birth mother is not pureblood. Because of this and the fact that she’s grown up in the non-magical world, Olivia considers herself half-blood.

Like Badeea she’s interested in inventing her own Charms and created one that allows her to walk on water by creating ice underfoot that supports your weight.

She’s also weirdly interested in pirates and nautical things. She knows several sea shanties and once auditioned for the Frog Choir with “Wellerman”.

Her favorite insult are, “you impotent mayfly” and “you broken condom”.

She gets roped into R due to her proficiency in Transfiguration and ability to create spells. Like Jacob and Duncan she doesn’t understand the dangers until she’s in too deep.

She keeps a denim bag with her that she enchanted with the Extension Charm to hold far beyond its capacity. She decorates it with charms and patches and occasionally colors on it with Sharpies before cleaning it off with magic.

Poor thing has really bad periods. REALLY bad. Has-to-be-medicated bad. Wiggenweld potions don’t work on menstrual cramps so she has to rely on Muggle painkillers. The first time Jacob offers her ibuprofen she throws herself at him in a hug and almost kisses him.

Once she’s in Mahoutokoro she starts to play the electric cello and learns how to ice skate.

Mother:

Maeda Yachi - adopted mother, pregnant with Tadashi when they met

Miranda Green - birth mother, disowned by Olivia

Father: Maeda Hotaru - birth father, didn’t know she existed until she appeared on their doorstep

Brother: Maeda Tadashi - little half brother, 15 years younger

1st Year:

Meets Jacob when he falls on the trick stair on their first day, accompanies him to the Hospital Wing.

Learns how to stand up to Snape (”Why would you brag about being bad at your job?”).

2nd Year:

Begins making her own spells, starting with the Ice Walking spell.

3rd Year:

Begins receiving instructions from R.

4th Year:

Black Lake Incident, asks Jacob for help inventing spells, eventually befriends him and together they create a Textbook spell (allowing them to essentially text each other in notebooks) and a Muggle Tech spell that allows them to play Muggle speakers at Hogwarts (which Snape quickly destroys).

Celestial Ball.

R agent Pius kidnaps Olivia just before she boards the Hogwarts Express home and forces her to work on finding the Coral Key.

When she finds it, Pius tries to drown her but she escapes to Japan.

After Hogwarts:

She finds her birth father in Japan and lives with him and his pregnant wife. Over the next few months she has to accustom herself to life in Japan, learn Japanese, come to terms with almost dying, and get to know her new family.

Olivia begins Mahoutokoro as a fourth year the beginning of the next year. She’s there when she finds out about Jacob’s expulsion and disappearance and Duncan’s death.

As she gets older she grows to appreciate her Japanese heritage more than she ever did with her birth mother and focuses more on her mental health and wellbeing.

She also becomes an Animagus.

What I imagine her Pokémon team would be when she’s a kid at Hogwarts. Vaporeon, Pumpkaboo, Chinchou, Mawile, Emolga, and Yamper.

Her team as an adult, while she’s tending to her mental health. Oricorio (Sensu forme), Gardivoir, Audino, Espeon, Musharna, and Togekiss.

And finally, her team when she’s ready to kick ass and get shit DONE. Froslass, Dragonair, Starmie, Empoleon, Lapras, Hatterene.

On Being Alone with Manga Art

When you live in a large city such as New York City, more often than not, you feel disconnected. A lot of people move fast to deal with their own lives while leaving many things behind. Not many people say hi to each other in a comforting manner. I recently got through a book about a woman’s perspective on dealing with loneliness in major cities. What was great about this book was her focus on certain well-known artists and learning from their works to combat loneliness.

The book left me thinking about how much looking at manga art over the years has helped or not helped any fans that feel isolated from the rest of the world.

The book was called “The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone” by Olivia Laing. Laing wrote about living in NYC while she was in her thirties. She described her time there to be very lonely, but found solace in exploring the city via art. Laing spoke about very notable artists (Andy Warhol was her first big mention) that went through loneliness in their lives and somehow tried to communicate their experiences through their works. In a way, art helped Laing process her own loneliness for the better. 

Reading the book made me think about my own experiences seeing manga art throughout my years of being a fan. I thought about some of the manga art exhibitions I visited. There was a part in Liang’s book where she talks about one artist by the name of Henry Darger and his drawings of young naked girls who lead hyper-violent men in a civil war that sounds like a dark fantasy. The first thing that came to my mind was Kentaro Miura’s Berserk.

I once remember browsing through the Eclipse part of the Golden Age arc. While I knew what happened, it’s really something to see in the pages of the manga itself. Everything just felt so raw and disgusting. Seeing that moment happen in all of its glory made me think about Toshio Maeda and his works. While I respect Maeda, I never felt comfortable with what he presented at times. It just frightened me.

But now looking back and after reading The Lonely City, I think that seeing serious art that’s explicit (like Berserk) is trying to prove a point. It shows how vulnerable and violent people can be. Most of us tend in our little bubbles with beliefs that everyone else around us is the same when that’s far from the truth. The world isn’t safe for certain groups of people. Explicit art is used as a way to express that sentiment. Plus, I also think this kind art is used to tell everyone that we both have good and bad sides. It does no good to totally repress one side over the other. In a strange way, being both good and bad is something that can help alleviate the idea that we’re alone.

But what about more modern-day manga? There’s a super huge manga mural in Tokyo right now that highlights all the major series from Shonen Jump and Shonen Magazine. Tokyo is a big city with residents that probably go through loneliness themselves despite their culture being more collectivist. What do they see when they see the likes of Deku, Levi, Emma, Meliodas, Boruto, etc. as they see those characters smile or look cool? 

I did notice that the background for that mural is in a school, which obviously is a big setting for many anime/manga series. Can seeing that connect someone with another person who misses those simple days of school with friendships you thought would never die? Do we think having the friendships that shonen characters have with one another can cure our loneliness?

In the end of The Lonely City, Laing writes:

“There are so many things that art can’t do. It can’t bring the dead back to life, it can’t mend arguments between friends, or cure AIDS, or halt the pace of climate change. All the same, it does have some extraordinary functions, some odd negotiating ability between people, including people who never meet and yet who infiltrate and enrich each other’s lives. It does have a capacity to create intimacy; it does have a way of healing wounds, and better yet of making it apparent that not all wounds need healing and not all scars are ugly.

If I sound adamant it is because I am speaking from personal experience. When I came to New York I was in pieces, and though it sounds perverse, the way I recovered a sense of wholeness was not by meeting someone or by falling in love, but rather by handling the things that other people had made, slowly absorbing by way of this contact the fact that loneliness, longing, does not mean one has failed, but simply that one is alive.”

I’ve been in fandom for such a long time and there are times where I felt like I haven’t made the kind of connections I really wanted. My love of anime/manga has helped me got to know people over the years, but I slowly felt over time that I needed to get away from fandom as those bonds often didn’t feel deep enough. Social media never helped with my loneliness (which shouldn’t be used as a panacea in the first place). What helped was that I got away from most of the anime social scene and living through manga art my way. I needed to be free from public opinion to think for myself.

Yet I know that I need to be around people because no one gets through life alone. Laing made a final remark about loneliness.

“I don’t believe the cure for loneliness is meeting someone, not necessarily. I think it’s about two things: learning how to befriend yourself and understanding that many of the things that seem to afflict us as individuals are in fact a result of larger forces of stigma and exclusion, which can and should be resisted.”

A lot of shonen series revolve those two things honestly. The characters learn to love themselves and realize that a lot of injustice is due to powerful forces that are determined to divide others. I also think mangaka are the same as they (and their assistants) are often by themselves drawing. They know that 1.) they’re comfortable with themselves to know they need help and 2.) there are so many obstacles that make life hard to get by. Mangaka want their readers to fight back and/or deal with those barriers in a way that can connect others in solidarity via shared experiences.

I also feel the same about artists who have booths in various Artists’ Alleys across many conventions throughout the world. I’m sure they found their own inner comfort not with other people, but with themselves via the works they create. They’re fighting against social ignorance too. There’s a lot of talk about how STEM can change the world, but the thing about STEM (note: I support more interest in science that doesn’t get twisted for political reasons) is that the subject makes people seem more robotic. 

While there is creativity in tech and tech is useful to enhance art, it’s more mainstream and commercial. You can only interpret things in one way since tech is supposed to streamline a process. Art is open-ended and we should strive to be open-ended on many things. Art is about being human and intimate. You need that human element as well to truly help make lives better.

Technology, for all its wonders, doesn’t provide a sense of intimacy that’s often lacking today. I look at photos of that whole shonen manga mural and I feel a vibe of comforting intimacy that tells me to come join inside the school. “It’s scary, but we’re all here with you. It’ll be okay.” That’s the message I got.

Finally, some fans can crap on shonen series all they want. But the genre is all about fighting loneliness, which is a major antagonist of the modern world. We’re in a long arc and I hope that there’s a build up to a climax where many of us realize that we won’t always feel the way we feel. We can connect with others in ways that make us stronger. 

And maybe that will be the “lone” solution we can all be comfortable with. Photo Source: SoraNews24
