Olivia Nevrakis

Olivia, a character in The Royal Romance series, is one of the suitors to the Prince. She is also the Duchess of Lythikos. She is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
As she bears a comically identical image to her ancestor, Zenobia Nevrakis, Olivia has red hair in an updo, green eyes and fair skin. She usually wears a black sequined gown.

Personality
Olivia is crass, drawing amusement from bluntly putting down other people. Nevertheless, she does appear appear to have a "nice side" to her, as she is friendly with King "Liam". Olivia's cold and calculated personality is potentially the result of the trauma she has been put through in her life; her parents were killed while attempting a rebellion, and she had been told that they had been assassinated for political reasons. She doesn't find out the truth until the last chapter of the first book.

Liam
Olivia and Prince (now King) "Liam" are childhood friends and grew up together at the Cordonian palace. When he and the Royal family had visited Lythikos, he convinced his family to bring her back with them since she was all alone. For months, she would not leave his side (to Drake's annoyance). She is one of the suitors for Prince "Liam" and honestly loves him. In her dreams, she and Liam ride through the fields crushing their enemies like horsemen of the apocalypse.

Parents
Olivia's parents attempted a rebellion and were killed as a result, leaving Olivia orphaned when she was just 5 years old.

Your Character
In the beginning, Olivia is your rival. From the moment she meets you, Olivia gives your character a hard time; she tells you to kiss the king's shoe and when confronted, she says it was a prank. In Book 1, she often belittles you, and you can choose to respond in kind or by being the bigger person, the latter usually increasing your relationship with her. Because of what transpires at the Prince's coronation, by Book 2, Olivia starts to change; she wants to work together to unveil the conspirators against the both of you. If you have a strong relationship with her, she will consider you as a friend. She can be chosen as your Maid of Honor for your wedding in Book 3, Chapter 18.

Lucretia Nevrakis
Olivia and her aunt have an extremely strained relationship on the rare occasion that her aunt makes an appearance. Part of this is due to the lack of emotional support she got from her aunt growing up and the fact that Lucretia abandoned her for much of that time.

Justin (Anton Severus)
Olivia is betrothed to Justin/Anton as revealed at the end of Chapter 12 in Book 3. Her parents signed a certificate of betrothal that stipulated that she and Justin would be in a legally binding marriage once they both turned eighteen. In Book 3, Chapter 22, Liam invited Olivia to dinner to finalize her annulment.

Ancestors
"If you can breathe, you can stand, and if you can stand, you can fight."
