Olivia Riftun Bearhaven, maiden name Silverwing, was born on the fourth Morndus of Skyfel, 56BA to the formally noble Silverwing family of Ri'En.
Her family's home was once noble but has since been absorbed into the land holdings of the growing city of E'alsing. Because of this their place in the noble hierarchy is increasingly disputed, and though technically they are still of noble blood, they are considered more to simply be a wealthy family.
Due to her family's decreasing worth, Olivia's engagement and subsequent marriage into the much higher status Bearhaven family was a bit deal. Though her marriage to Lord Arden Swordarm Bearhaven on the 1st Fesdus of Windswane, 28BA, was born of love, she has taken every opportunity to social climb since her wedding, becoming a notorious gossip and people pleaser.
She is very fussy about appearance and attending all the social events she can, a trait she tried to instill in her daughter Tabitha Ravenair Vr'zzek. After the sudden disappearance of her husband in 0ÆR, Olivia moved to live with her daughter and son-in-law in Vanwyn.
Due to the death of Lord Roysen Windhelm Bearhaven, the bastard revelation of her niece Illuzi Bearhaven, the marriage of her daughter to Lord Odric Krur Vr'zzek, and the disappearances of both her husband and Lady Kaarina Ill Bearhaven, Olivia is the last "true" holder of the family name Bearhaven. However due to Ri'en's inheritance rights being patriarchal, this title is worthless.
