Biography
Early life
Since childhood, Olive could use her telepathic powers to look beyond the words of people and see into their hearts. She did not consider her gift to be anything special, so she continued to casually peer into peoples' minds. However, Olive's unconcerned use of her powers lead her to the heart of a mysterious being in her town; it was no human at all, and its mind was plagued with thoughts that barely seemed human. Olive rarely left her home after learning that such things lived among normal people, until one night, she saw a white-bearded gentleman in her dream. He invited her to learn magic at his school and promised to visit her the next day, stating that if she learned magic and became stronger, she could conquer her fear of the darkness. Surely enough, Principal Biscotti showed up at Olive's house, and she agreed to enroll Will-o'-Wisp Academy.[3]
Magical Vacation
Before the students of Will-o'-Wisp departed for Valencia Beach, Olive waited in the academy's music room with Cidre, Cassis and Arancia, who shared their thoughts about the alleged Seaside School disappearances. Olive started to get anxious as the debate continued, and was ignored when the case of Vanilla Nighthawk was brought up. After the protagonist rounded everybody up and boarded the magic bus, Miss Madeleine noticed the absence of Ganache. Olive volunteered to find him as she knew where he was, but got interrupted when Candy announced that she wanted to go too. Madeleine said only one person needed to leave, so Olive raced off while Candy stayed behind, frustrated. Olive spotted Ganache playing his harmonica by a riverbed off-campus. Ganache heard the voice of a girl nearby, which he initially believed to be his sister, Vanilla, but instead saw Olive upon opening his eyes. Olive knew Ganache was dwelling over the disappearance of Vanilla, and begged him to join the students at Valencia Beach, hoping they could work together to learn more about what happened to her three years ago. Ganache remained unconvinced, though his mind quickly changed when Olive had a premonition of everybody mysteriously vanishing at the beach.
While at the shore, Olive and Ganache stuck together, spending the evening at a distance from the other students. Sesame and the protagonist formed a small adventure group once the class was on free time, which lead them to a mysterious cave at the beach's edge, but to their surprise, Olive and Ganache made it there first. Olive questioned her friend about what lurked within, but Ganache could only sense endless darkness. They returned to the campfire once Sesame told them to leave, and the adventure group explored the abandoned pirates' cave.
As dusk fell, the sixteen students were suddenly attacked by a swarm of monsters called enigmas, who warped them off of the beach one by one. Olive, having sensed the impending attack, was sent off too, ending up with a handful of her classmates in another plane of existence called the Light Plane. She spent the next few days in the mountain ranges of Ibense Crag with Cabernet, Cidre, and Candy. Ganache joined them later on after previously accompanying the protagonist's party through the Benakoncha Ruins. The former group nearly reunited with the protagonist, who had rescued even more of their classmates, but their reunion was cut short when an enigma warped them away to the Dark Plane, an order issued by Equillekrew.
Later on, Café au Lait was upgraded with a magic power generator by Grenadine, which he used to send the magic bus back to the academy against Biscotti's wishes. To save the students in the Dark Plane, Café au Lait and the protagonist used the academy's summoning machine to reverse-summon themselves into the Dark Plane, taking notice of Ganache and the others upon warping out of the Material Plane. In an act of self-defense, Ganache had killed the enigma that took everyone to the Dark Plane, and he proceeded to lead the way to the wolks town, Masalatea Village. By the time the protagonist's group arrived at Masalatea, Ganache, Olive, Candy, and Cabernet had already sailed south to Tapiocatea Village. They nearly crossed paths again when Ganache's quartet was spotted conversing on the path to Enigma Forest, wherein Cabernet contemplated the true cause of his brother, Chardonnay's, death. Despite it being classified information, he started putting loose pieces together and believed that Chardonnay was killed by an enigma, then declared his willingness to kill them all in revenge. Olive, however, grew worried and asked Cabernet to stop, telling him that the number of enigmas would never decline. Amidst their bickering, Ganache recalled how enigmas were able to freely move between planes, so he suggested they find one so they could return to the Material Plane.
While venturing through the East Forest, Candy stopped and asked Olive to speak in private, which she reluctantly agreed to. In private, Candy asked Olive what Ganache's motives were, and accused her of being able to read minds after consulting Cabernet. Olive attempted to mitigate her classmate's anger by saying her telepathy was weak, but Candy still demanded to know where Ganache planned on going, since he had revealed very little about his goals. Caving in from Candy's rage, Olive explained what she saw in Ganache's heart and revealed his desire to save Vanilla, who seemed to be held in a heavily guarded castle. Candy scoffed at the impossibility of Ganache's plan, until Olive said that if he were to fuse with an enigma, he could kill the guards and release Vanilla from captivity. Candy then voiced her hatred for Olive, feeling as though nothing could be kept secret around her. Just as Olive voiced how scared she was of her own powers, the duo heard a roar in the distance. Ganache and Cabernet, who had taken down Badaboom in the girls' absence, heard Candy shriek and immediately ran in to help.
The party, Madeleine, Ganache, and Cabernet found the two girls lying unconscious on the ground, thankful that they were still alive, but could not seem to find what had attacked them. Madeleine noticed Candy's eyes were red with anger, sensing that her heart had been sealed shut. Before Olive could question if she was the one responsible, Chocolat cried for help in the distance, so Ganache's group and Madeleine left to save him. They ventured north to see Ganache and Cabernet talking to a local pyrite from Basorimo Village. It explained to them why Chocolat was taken by Quattro Formaggi, who was actually a Dab Hasnel enigma fused in a dwarf's body. Miss Madeleine joined their conversation, then wondered why Candy and Olive were not with them. Fearing for the worst, Ganache darted off to where he last saw the two girls, and Cabernet followed.
The party chased Quattro Formaggi and Chocolat into Morbier Volcano, wherein Madeleine killed the both Quattro and Dab Hasnel with light magic, then used her warp magic to bring Chocolat out of the volcano. Meanwhile, Olive woke up in a daze next to Candy, finding herself in front of a cave entrance in the Enigma Forest. She used telepathy to understand why she was there, figuring out that Ganache was sure to follow if she were ever in danger. Reading into Candy's heart even further, she finally learned of Ganache's ultimate goal: to fuse with the king of enigmas. At the same time, Ganache and Cabernet went around Basorimo Village to see where their classmates had gone, to which a pyrite exclaimed they had passed through Brownie Burrow to the Kisunika Mines. Upon reaching the mines' entrance, Ganache warned Cabernet about the party and Madeleine's impending arrival. He proceeded to sever his friendship with Cabernet, saying he, Candy, and Olive just happened to come along on his journey to join forces with the enigma king.
In the Kisunika Mines' deepest reaches, the party and Madeleine caught up to the four remaining students. Candy and Olive stood next to a vortex leading to the Death Plane, the plane which governed the reincarnation of souls. Candy proclaimed her desire to aid Ganache in meeting the enigma king, and Olive broke down from the change in her classmate's behavior. Ganache remembered witnessing this behavioral change before in Vanilla, then bid Olive farewell as he advanced towards the vortex with Candy. Olive begged for her friends to stay, but she futilely watched as they both stepped inside and quickly transcended planes. Cabernet wished to enter the vortex as well, though Madeleine held him back, saying he would surely be killed; not by Ganache, but by Candy. Olive reinforced this harsh truth, to Cabernet's shock, and Madeleine ordered the reunited students to make haste and exit the mines.
Back on the magic bus, the students pieced together all the information they had gathered, concluding that Vanilla was possessed by an enigma three years ago, causing her to lose sanity and abandon Will-o'-Wisp. Two years later, the enigma assumed full control of her body and slaughtered over two hundreds soldiers, one of whom was Chardonnay. Her tirade came to an abrupt end when Biscotti intervened, using his magic to seal her within Chiboust Castle. Olive revealed that she and Candy were attacked by an enigma in East Forest, which had fused with Candy before the others arrived, and her heart was plunged into darkness.
After warping into the Death Plane with the help of Café au Lait's generator, Madeleine decided to stay behind and rest while the students looked for Ganache and Candy, feeling fatigued after wandering the Dark Plane for days. Their journey spanned across many locations, and they soon arrived at the Land of the Dark beyond the Death Corridor. Candy stood alone, as Ganache had advanced to the Despair Swamp moments prior. Amongst the party's attempts to reason with her, she glared at Olive with disdain and wished for her to be gone, also reminding her of how enigmas immediately ressurected once they were killed. Suddenly, Candy's body transformed into that of Equillekrew, revealing himself to be the enigma who ambushed Olive and Candy back in the Dark Plane. The students struggled against Equillekrew, believing Candy to be dead, until Olive spoke up and reminded Candy of who she really was beneath Equillekrew's façade. Her words were enough to engulf the enigma's body in a bright light, making it unfuse Candy and perish. Upon returning to the bus as a group, Madeleine explained that in order to exile Equillekrew from her heart, Candy had to relinquish all her magic. Candy, however, came to realize that liberating her abilities allowed her to attain a higher level of magic.
Shortly after recovering, Candy joined the party. The students scaled the last areas of the Death Plane, leading them to the opening of Moginasu Magic Grotto. They met Madeleine outside the lowest chamber, then entered to find Ganache conversing with Kerurendu, the fallen enigma king. Before he could conduct a fusion, the group and Madeleine went in to talk sense into their classmate. Olive and Candy cooperatively mentioned that as a team, they could solve the mysteries of Kovomaka Kingdom and Will-o'-Wisp Academy once and for all, and ensure that the Material Plane remained free. To Olive's shock, Candy revealed a premonition of her own, saying Ganache was not destined to fuse with Kerurendu, and how she would join him on a journey to Chiboust Castle to save Vanilla. They made haste in preventing Ganache from fusing with Kerurendu, who subsequently retreated into the Hall of Rebirth in an effort to achieve his ultimate form. Meanwhile, Ganache realized that Kerurendu contacting his heart brought his own magic back to zero, much like Candy, though he was sure this release would yield something good. He and Madeleine discussed Biscotti's past with the enigmas as the students defeated Kerurendu in the Hall of Rebirth, putting an end to his cycle of reincarnation. Returning to the grotto victorious, everyone warped back to the magic bus, with Olive promising to do her best alongside Ganache in the future which Candy foresaw.
After Magical Vacation
Olive became the guardian of a nature reserve on an uninhabited island, where she befriended the wildlife and ensured they were protected from mankind.[4]
Trivia
- According to Shinichi Kameoka, Olive is the character he put the most effort into creating in terms of hairstyle.[5]
Nomenclature
Her name comes from olive, oval drupes that are usually eaten salted, or used to make olive oil. Nobuyuki Inoue supposedly derived Olive's surname, Tearclown, from the manga anthology Namida no Kuraun by 20th century mangaka Jun Mihara. The manga's title is believed to be lifted from "The Tears of a Clown" by the R&B band Smokey Robinson and The Miracles,[6] since Mihara owned a record of the song before her death in 1995.[7]

She could hear their true feelings in their hearts, separate from what was actually being spoken by their mouths. She did not even think it to be special at first, so she had no qualms peering into other peoples' hearts. One day, however, she noticed there was something noticeably non-human amongst the ordinary humans in the town. Moreover, it was thinking frightening thoughts that barely seemed human, and since becoming aware of its existence, she grew fearful of peering into peoples' hearts. Over time, she locked herself in her room more and more often. Then one day, she had a dream. In her dream, an old gentleman with a white beard appeared before her and said, "Come and learn magic at my school. I will pay you a visit tomorrow. If you learn magic and become stronger, you can conquer your fear of the darkness." And indeed, the headmaster of the Magic School Will-o'-Wisp, Grand Dragée, came to visit the next day." [5].
