The 1910's are my favorite decade and I would be remiss to let them pass by without dressing my heir up even if she's still a teenager!
Olivia comes from a lower middle class family - there aren't going to be any rich, vibrant, expensive colors to her wardrobe, but her interest in sewing means that she at least stays on top of the latest silhouettes and trends. She is very proud to be the most talented seamstress in her family, and hopes very much to work with better and more beautiful materials and colors one day.
Her daily outfits are always supplemented with knitwear from her mother or aunt - around the 1900's and 1910's knitwear began to gain mainstream popularity anyways - and she always wears her same trusty hat. The only parties in her neck of rural Brindleton are when the Xue's (family friends of the Rheist-Calaises) throw their annual summer garden parties, so her party outfit is summery and light and meant for socializing in a familiar, informal setting. Her hair is almost never formally, appropriately done up - she lives in the country, by the windy sea, and is her free-spirited mother's daughter.

"Do you regret our life together?"
The frost hadn't yet begun thawing in the early morning sunlight - and judging by the temperature, it wouldn't thaw at all. Theodore had all but snuck up on her, his mood having been melancholic for days. Her fingers and back were numb from washing laundry in the cold, and it manifested through a wry, sarcastic tongue. "After three children, it's a bit late to be asking that, Theodore, don't you think?"
He said nothing for a long moment, and she knew she had hurt his feelings.
"... No," she relented, heart twisting, kissing her husband of 20 years who she knew had a fragile heart under his stoic demeanor, "Of course not. Of course not, Theo."

Generation 2 - 1916
Olivia Rheist-Calaise
Birth Year : 1898
Traits: Bookworm, Creative, Art Lover
Aspiration: My Own Business (x)
Career: Seamstress (x)
Olivia is the daughter of a farm-born medical assistant and an upper-middle class musician living an uneventful life in rural Brindleton. Olivia grew up shy and gentle like her parents, and discovered an affinity for reading and dressmaking in her childhood. Since then, she's been quietly working on the craft despite her family's financial inability to provide quality fabrics, hardware, or formal training.
When her cousin Laurie moved to Brindleton after a family tragedy, Olivia came out of her shell and the two teenagers grew closer than anyone could have anticipated. At 18, Laurie asked Olivia to move to the city together... and despite her trepidation to leave her family, Olivia saw the idea for what it was - a golden opportunity to become a skilled and affluent modiste.
