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.

Luca goes back to the room he shares with his cousin in the tenements - his cousin Leandro, who brought him to America when the earthquake orphaned them and destroyed their city when he was 16 and Luca was 10 - to watch over him as his body finally succumbs to the Spanish Influenza.

olivia and her mother are thick as thieves since beau went away to college - and ever since olivia had her doubts about her agency over her life path, talia takes every opportunity to encourage her that her dreams are possible. they stop by the modiste's shop and chat with her a while - talia embarrasses ollie by asking the modiste if she's taking apprentices. she isnt, but talia takes the time to whisper to olivia to look around - look carefully, see how the store is laid out? see how she displays the ribbons? how would you do it differently?

In the summer of 1909, Theodore and Talia, now freshly in their 40s with their children old enough to mind each other, find time to resume their walks along the shore together. Theodore's mind has been ill at ease for months. He can think of little else besides how little he's accomplished, how time races through his fingertips like sand... how thoroughly he ruined any chance of Talia's to become a famous musician, how his daughter stares openly at the lace-trimmed dresses of other girls, how his son struggles with essays by candlelight for scholarships he must win in order to attend college. "You might've found someone better than me. If I had only let you." "No," softly, reminding him as often as he needs, "I never could have done better than you."

"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.

Ollie sits to work on her and Laurie's new dresses, and her mind drifts, wondering what she wondered years ago as a child - what was she working so hard for? Maybe a husband wouldn't ask or order her to give up her dreams - but what would happen to them anyways, once she had a home to take care of or a baby to raise? She thought she'd be working in a fashionable shop by now - but department stores are replacing bespoke tailors and dressmakers. She isn't making enough to buy better, more fashionable fabrics. Her mentor seems to want to thwart her instead of teach her.
She feels like she's running on ice, desperately going nowhere, waiting to fall into the dark water with the other broken dreamers of the world.
