At the age of 10, Olive was separated from her family. The elven settlement she lived in was fleeing disaster and Olive, just wanting to see the erupting volcano, turned back to look and was left behind.
Along the way, she came across some humans who hadn't managed to escape the eruption, and led them along a safe path through the forest. In gratitude, the humans brought her to a place near the capital since the elf had nowhere else to go.
Olive found herself in a camp full of refugees who had built simple huts to protect themselves from the elements.
Now a stray elf, she gathered firewood to offer those in need in exchange for food or shelter.
