Fighting Information:
Fighting Style: Mixture of breakdancing, street fighting, and capoeira
Years Practiced: 4
Description of style: “Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art, game, and culture created by enslaved Africans in Brazil during the 16th Century, marked by fluid acrobatic play, feints, subterfuge, and extensive use of groundwork, as well as sweeps, kicks, and headbutts.” This mixed with break dancing and her streetwise, no-holds-barred style creates a style all her own that is both fluid and effective against her opponents.
History:
The daughter of a florist and a sponsored mountain climber, Olesya is the youngest of three children. Close in age, Darien, Melody, and Olesya were close all through childhood. They acted as most children do, fighting just as much as they got along, with many broken bones and skinned knees and stories to carry throughout their lives. They first moved to Long Beach after Gabriella was born, needing more room for their extended family. It was then that they found what was once a firehouse, now abandoned, and converted it into a three-story house. They left the fireman's pole in, allowing the kids to slide down it for breakfast every morning rather than taking the stairs. Olesya, Darien, and Melody, and Gabri loved it, as all rambunctious kids would.
The first floor was house to her mother's shoppe and small cafe. Meridian's business, 'Blossoms & Bistro' is known for it's quality both in flowers and coffee. The children would work there after school, ushering coffee to artists and poets. It was because of this Olesya got her taste in the arts. She loved listening to their stories, their ideas, it was a colorful world where imagination lived and thrived. When she was 10, and visiting her grandparents back in Ohio, Olesya stumbled upon an old red Fender bass in the attic. It had belonged to her father who had pursued it once, discovered climbing instead, and forgot all about it. He laughed as she brought it to him, begging him to let her play it, and he replied 'it's all yours.' She and her guitar, dubbed 'Lola,' have been inseparable ever since.
The second and third floors of the building belong to the family as living quarters. The second being the traditional first floor, with a kitchen, living room/library, etc, as well as the parent's bedroom and master bath. The third floor belongs entirely to the kids. They divvied up the space evenly enough, and respected the others privacy. Things ran smoothly enough. Heath, a self proclaimed handyman, when not out on a climb is constantly renovating the converted house. There is always at least one room under construction, and the family has learned to live around it. "If it isn't one thing, it's another," her mother would sigh if anyone asked about her husband's hobby.
Then, Melody and Darien graduated.
Melody went off to pursue Med school in Washington, Darien sticking to California for Pre-Law. Melody still comes home every break, while Darien returns home just about every weekend for a good home cooked meal and to get his laundry done. He also works weekends at the cafe while Olesya and Gabri work after school.
When the Enforcers attacked PHS #259, Olesya was eager to help, though ushered her sister Gabri out of the range of fighting and ordered her to go home. Unfortunately in the fiasco, Olesya was kidnapped along with four other students and sent to the California State Correctional Facility, run by Sean Barker, who ran experiments on them. Eventually she managed to escaped with her fellow students in a large to-do that involved a break in from the outside, led by the school itself.
Olesya returned home safe and sound to her family, though in her absence she had received a letter from the school. While she was in prison, Public High School 552 in New York was shut down due to a failed evaluation. All of its students were shipped out to the West coast where PHS 259 welcomed them with open arms. However, the school population doubled, and became too crowded. Thus PHS 260 was built, and a mixture of former 552 students and 259 students were enrolled, Olesya was one of them.
Because PHS 260 is approximately an hour away from Long Beach, Olesya was sent to live with her Aunt Ophelia during the weekdays to lessen her commute to school. On the weekends she returns home to visit the family and work in the cafe/florist.
On one such weekend before school began for her, Olesya was confronted by none other than her former best friend (and luke warm love interest) Stu Pott, who in her absence had gone a bit mental...and by a bit mental I mean completely and totally homicidal insane. He blamed Olesya for his insanity, and vowed one day to hurt her dearly, to make her pay for what she did. Olesya never had many enemies in her life, though that day she made her first, and biggest one.
