Background/History:
In the early 1900s, an English expedition explored an ancient Egyptian pyramid buried beneath the dunes. It appeared to be an abandoned, unfinished project, as though it’s builders had stopped after completing only the first third of it. Although the researchers were well intentioned, the tomb was plundered. The members of the expedition met unfortunate and sometimes grisly deaths as though they were cursed. The only survivor was Olivia McMillan, the young daughter of Sir Thomas McMillan, the leader of the ill fated crew. She was only fourteen years old at the time and entered the tomb with her father. She discovered a scarab with a multifaceted gem set in gold and pocketed it. Shortly thereafter, disasters began to occur. Fires, sandstorms, illness, and unexplained disappearances struck constantly. Her father noticed a pattern to the deaths. They involved the people that Olivia disliked. He confronted his daughter as absurd as the notion was to him and she did not even try to deny it. She showed him the scarab and explained that it let her do many magical things. He attempted to reason with the child, but to no avail. She had the power to do whatever she wished and those who had angered her would pay a terrible price. He tried to take the amulet away from her, but she concentrated and a huge blue hand appeared and pushed him away from her. She had little control and, in her panic and rage, smashed him through the wall of the inn and he fell four stories to the ground to his death. She disappeared that day and her name was added to the mysterious curse’s list of fatalities. In truth, she fled to master the abilities of the gem. She found that she had control over energy, matter, and life energy. She used the gem to remain young and traveled the world acquiring wealth under assumed names. As she grew older and her control had grown, she became bored with merely taking what she wanted and donned a costume to become a super-villian to challenge the heroes. Almost being beaten by Justice, she was aided by the Attackers and joined their team. Her gem appears to be the counterpart of the Preserver’s capstone, the gem used by Gem Girl of the Protectors in the Prime Universe. It is unknown whether the rest of the weapon exists in this universe.

Personality/Motivations:
A spoiled rich girl, Olivia has no respect for the rights of anyone else and simply seeks contentment by indulging her every whim. She maintains her relationship with the Attackers to have someone to watch her back and to keep them from trying to steal her gem.
