Detailed History:
Olympia was born in Macedonia twenty three years ago. Her father was the governor of Macedonia at the time and he was a strong leader. Her mother was a simple citizen and when she married her father, she was made Governess. Her father and mother both taught her how to be a lady and her father secretly taught her how Spartan woman act.
When Olympia was eighteen, her father went to fight along side the other Spartans. Before he left, he gave her a battered up crown that he had gotten from a battle of his long ago. He told her she would know when the time was and then he left. However, a few months later waiting for her fathers return, a messenger went to the family tell them the news. Her father had died valiantly in the fighting.
After getting the news, her mother went into a state of depression. A man named Ruticus, saw this weakness among the Governer's family and he used it to his advantage. He cast out Olympia and her mother from the city. A village not to far away accepted them with open arms. But, Olympia's mother never felt any better. Soon, she died from grief of losing her husband and the life she once had. It was on that day, that Olympia promised the gods and her dying mother that she would take back what was theirs.
When she turned twenty, she went back to the city. She wore a cloak, to disguise herself as she made her way back to the governor's villa. She sneaked inside and went to her parents room, where Ruticus was now staying. She had expected him to be sleeping, but she found him awake and sitting at the desk. When she walked in, he noticed her. She told him that she was sent to provide some entertainment. But, when Ruticus went in to give her a kiss, she pulled out her short sword and stabbed him in the stomach. After he died, she retook the role of Governess and has ruled ever since.
