Personality:
Karen is easily influenced especially by her older siblings. She rarely ever thinks for herself and usually just goes with the crowd. Because of this her siblings hardly ever leave her with responsibilities. On the plus side, Karen is very adventurous and seldom backs down from a challenge. She also gets bored very easily and because of this she finds it hard to commit to a job, in fact the only job she has ever held in the family company was in the promotions team, which she quit after a month of employment.
History:
Karen is the youngest of three third generations, Ollivander off springs. After the war Ollivander retired from full time wand making and left the shop to his son Paul, who did not share in his father’s passion for matching wand with the wizard. After his father died, Paul sold the shop and went into the distribution business. He needed little help with promoting because there was still a lot of buzz surrounding the Ollivander name after the war. After years of hard work, his company which had a fairly modest beginning became one of the largest distributors of wand core properties and dragon hide in England and even had strong roots in other European territories and the Americas. When Paul died his son Elric took over the company and helped it to grow and blossom beyond even the dreams of his father. Elric passed the company on to his only son and heir Damon who had three children, Byron, Catherine and Karen. Damon and his wife got fried by a dragon in an unfortunate dragon inspection session when their children were still young. A caretaker took care of the children and company until they came of age. When Byron turned 18 the caretaker handed the company over to him and he engrossed himself in its running. His sister Cathy, who though very bright, not did share her brother’s love for hard business. Her passion was wand making. She often dreamed of reclaiming her great great grandfather’s wand shop and re-establishing the original Ollivander family wand making monopoly. When Cathy found out there was an opening for wand maker assistant she forced her sister to apply for the job in order to get inside information on what was going on so she could somehow get the company back.
