Olea is very impulsive, and she tends to say whatever she thinks. She rarely thinks about the consequences of her actions before diving headfirst (sometimes literally) into something that'll get her in trouble. She is very loyal and protective, she sticks by her friends no matter what, and defends them openly when threatened. She hates when others touch her things and tends to snap when her possessions are messed with, especially her octopus necklace which was given to her by her parents and has sentimental value. (She named the octopus Gumbo). Olea always seems to have a never ending supply of energy. She rarely tires from exercise and it doesn't take much to get her jumping off the walls. She loves meeting new beans and having fun, she is very much an extrovert, even if she doesn't always leave a very good first impression. She is generally pretty happy and excited, always trying to be optimistic.

On land She is very clumsy and awkward. She is tall and thin, often tripping over her legs or tail and falling on flat surfaces, and it's not a good idea to give her anything easily breakable. But when she enters the water, something changes. When she's swimming, Olea is swift and graceful. She knows exactly what she's doing and how to do it. Her sleek, otter-like fur helps her glide through the water and gives her a natural propensity. Her favorite activity is cliff diving. She loves the adrenaline rush she gets when she jumps, the freedom of the fall, and entering the water like a bullet. She also really enjoys free diving, and it has helped her practice holding her breath for extended periods of time. She just, really loves swimming in general, and her natural advantages just encourage her to do it more. If she could spend all her time in the water, she would. The ocean is her best friend.

Olea worked at an aquarium and as a swim coach for a while, but eventually the call of the ocean was too strong and she took her parent's old ship and took to the seas. She's captain of her ship, named the Masked Mermaid. She sails the open ocean, exploring and having adventures. She isn't quite a pirate, she isn't on board with the whole plundering and killing part that often is associated with pirates, but loves the aesthetic and would consider herself more of a swashbuckler or adventurer. Now, if an adventure happened to include pirating from some bad guys, she would probably be on board. She is always looking for more friends to join her crew!

Used to live in a beachside house in a nice beach town, where she can be close to the ocean. While she doesn't make copious amounts of money herself, her Aunt runs a large business and bought the house for her. Now, she spends most of her time on a ship sailing the seas, but checks back in at the house every now and then. .

History

Her parents died in a car crash when she was 12, so she grew up with her aunt who was always out of town on long business trips. She might as well have grown up alone for how much attention she got, but her Aunt did love her. Her blue ringed octopus necklace, also known as Gumbo, was a gift she got for her birthday from her parents a few weeks before they died. She cherishes it with all her heart and is very protective of it. When she was old enough, she moved out of her Aunt's house and into a beachside house, which was payed for by her Aunt so it didn't feel like her own place at first. Then, Arabeth came along, a small child who showed up at her door in the middle of the night asking if she could keep a secret. Olea took her in, gave her a place to stay. For ten years, Olea loved Arabeth as if she were her own, never quite sure where she came from or what secrets she held behind the masks. When Arabeth was 16 she left, and Olea misses her dearly. She still worries about Arabeth and hopes that wherever she is, she's safe and happy. Soon after Ara left, Olea, with no reason to stay at her beachside house anymore, took her parent's ship that was passed down to her and left for the seas.
