Nottingham's Legacy: Olympe

Because every story needs a villain(or villainess), here's the one for "Nottingham's Legacy".

Her name is Olympe.

And she's wonderfully awful.

Think Milady de Winter meets Cercei Lannister meets Regina in full Evil Queen mode.

Olympe has been hired by Guy of Gisbourne (yep, Gisbourne's back!) to kill Oliver. Which is kind of fun. She's also one of the coldest a most dispassionate villains I've written, which makes some scenes perfectly heart-wrenching to write.

Her animal parallel is a Stingray

She's persistent and tenacious and when she sees her target, she pounces, paralyzes and "consumes" them(the paralyzing part can be literal, thanks so some really interesting poison research); and she has this uncanny ability to balance her emotions and practice restraint. She doesn't aggressively attack unless you attack her first.

Olympe's model came from "Aladdin", the same film I got Declan's model from. She's also played Pink Ranger and was in the reboot of "Charlie's Angels". This woman is a powerhouse of an actress and perfect--in my head at least--to take on Olympe. Naomi Scott.
