Profile Picture

Olivia Shepherd has intentionally decided to ignore her special abilities of being an empath, something that has been passed down through the generations within the maternal side of her family. She feels it won’t benefit her in any specific way because she saw how it traumatized her mother to the point of taking pills and drinking herself to sleep every night just to avoid feeling any sort of empathic things that she picked up on from her surrounding environment.
