Her father's intention was always to provide a large Dowry and marry her to a Nobel Family. Olivya had a different idea. She stowed away on a ship heading back to Haram's Bay, and insisted that her father teach her the business. She convinced him that the knowledge would help her on the mainland protect his interests, with his contacts and he reluctantly agreed.
Eventually her learning became invaluable to her father, and she soon found herself invited to meeting with very dangerous people. She learned all the intricacies of the smuggling business and how pirates operated, and as a young attractive woman, she also made many contacts of her own among the crews and captains.
When her father died of a sickness, she was able to step right into his place and take over Haram Bay. Not only was she able to perform all the functions her father could, she was able to solidly her hold on the city even further, by nurturing contacts, and creating situations where her existence was crucial to Haram Bay.

Accomplishments & Achievements
After her father's death, everyone expected one of his assistants to take over the business and send Olivya back to the mainland. All were surprised when she took over his office and meeting, and seamlessly carried on with business. The thought that a woman, and one as young at Olivya (Who was only 26 at the time) could hold a place of power amongst some of the most dangerous and ruthless sailor in Aranthar was absolutely unexpected. in those intervening years, she has made Harams Bay even more profitable and increased her wealth and influence.

Motivation
Olivya gave up a life of luxary for the ability to choose her own destiny. She feels that the power she has in Haram Bay is more than anything she would have been able to get on the mainland and she will do anyhting to protect that and her status.

Social
Contacts & Relations
Off-Islanders
Olivya has numerous contacts with different trading companies that operate all over Aranthar. These relationships are not public though. Olivya uses these contacts to find buyers for the cargos that she obtains from he pirates that put into port.Mocar
Olivya has an unusual relationship with the native Mocar on the Island. While she is basically working them like slaves, she also provides for them making sure they have food and shelter and giving them good that she gets from the cargos she buys, that they would not be able to get elsewhere. She also protects them from Pirates making sure they aren't taking liberties with them. Because of this many of the Mocar look at her as a benefactor.Not all of the Mocar think of her fondly, as some of them have seen the Mocar taking jobs as servants and in the brothels where they are being exploited. Some tribes have even rebelled and hide in the forests looking for way of freeing their people. Olivya also chooses several Mocar a few times a year and send them to the Seaport Academy where they can learn a profession. The Mocar are often trying to gain her favor so she will pick them or their family members.
Haram Bay Residents
Like the Mocar, the residents of the Haram Bay have mixed feeling about Dain. Many of them are able to make a decent living here and approve of the way she handles the city and the business, but there are some who do not like the idea of a woman being in charge of a Pirate port, especially one who has never crewed or captained her own ship.Pirates
When the pirates that frequent Haram Bay heard that Olivya Dain had taken over the port, they thought they had hit the lottery. They assumed they would be able to intimidate her into buying their cargos for exorbitant prices. They were quickly disabused of that notion as she turned out to be an even harder business woman than her father. She had no issues using the fact that she was the only place many of them could sell their good, by offering much less than they were worth. This displease many of the pirates, but they have had little choice as there are very few places where they can sell, and none of them close.Sahuagin
The Sahuagin have a business relationship with Olivya where they guide ships into the islands, past the dangerous reefs that surround the Shoals Additionally Dain can all on them to help her defend the island if it is ever attacked, or to gain their assistance for other items. What the Sea Devils get out of the arrangement, is unknown.Family Ties
Olivya's mother died when she was just a girl, and her father died when she was 27 from a sickness.
