Liva

Personal Info

A servant of the Ive Family and the personal attendant to Letitia Ive.
She was brought home by Letitia when she was very young and has remained by her side ever since.
Through years of accompanying Letitia in her studies and training, she has gained a modest level of strength. Not exceptional, but more than enough to handle ordinary monsters.
Soft-spoken to the point of seeming timid at times, Liva is in truth incredibly resilient. Whatever Letitia asks of her, she will always do her utmost to fulfill it.
Liva has Letitia's implicit faith and is regularly relied upon as a representative to manage affairs autonomously. Liva has never once betrayed that trust.

Chronicles

You want to know my opinion of Liva? Perfect, obviously.
If I perform perfectly, then as my attendant, Liva must naturally perform perfectly as well.
More details? Hmph! Liva is under my protection. No one but me has the right to evaluate her.
— Letitia

When I first met Lady Letitia, Liva was already by her side.
How do I put it... They are indeed lady and servant, but sometimes they're like close friends, or sisters even. They trust each other, and do everything together.
Liva is gentle and attentive, always patient with Lady Letitia's whims, and she treats everyone around her kindly. I've almost never seen her argue with anyone.
Of course, that's assuming it doesn't involve Lady Letitia or the Ive Family. Otherwise... well, I have seen her argue with people who badmouthed Letitia. The sight was... wow.

Liva isn't just nice; she's an amazing cook! Probably... second only to me! Definitely better than fake goody-goody!
And whenever we're stationed somewhere, she always sets up the beds and heats water for us. We get to unwind completely. That's what a real perfect maid looks like!
If I could keep her with me all the time, then I could focus purely on fighting and not worry about anything else!
Ooh, the more I think about it, the more tempted I get... I should talk to Letitia, see if she can spare Liva for a while.

Record

Making beds, boiling water, cleaning, cooking... Ever since officially joining the team, Liva has essentially taken over all household chores.
Whenever there are no missions and Letitia doesn't have additional tasks for her, Liva simply starts on the first chore that comes to mind, instead of taking a rest.
Some members have advised her to rest more, but Liva, with her limited combat ability, believes the best way she can contribute is by maintaining perfect logistics, so everyone else can fight without worry.
She would sometimes talk them out of it, insisting that they prioritize their own well-being and take a break.
Thanks to Liva, the team's base has become so comfortable that quite a number of nearby Explorers have even come by just to take a look.
Of course, everything she does has Letitia's full approval.
Perhaps it ties back to Letitia's own words: “Anywhere I stay must be kept in perfect order.” That alone is enough for Liva to devote herself wholeheartedly.

Anecdote

“Good day, sir. I am Liva, attendant to Lady Letitia Ive. I've come to deliver the materials on her behalf.”
“Heh, Miss Liva is here alone?”
“Yes, sir. Thanks to my lady's trust, I've been asked to handle today's exchange personally.”
“I see...”
The middle-aged man sighed, displeasure faintly showing on his face.
“Your lady sure trusts you a lot. Something this important, handed to a servant. Do you even realize how valuable these materials are?”
“Of course, sir. That is precisely why my lady instructed me to handle them with extra care.”
“Then, what makes you think a servant has the right to handle it with me?”
“Thank you for your concern, sir. I am Lady Letitia's attendant. My qualifications are for my lady alone to judge.”
Liva's tone cooled as the man continued his petty provocation.
She understood perfectly—what he wanted was to see Letitia, then latch onto House Ive's master through her.
Exactly the sort of person Letitia had no wish to indulge.
“Sir, I stand here by my lady's command.”
“Oh? Trying to throw your lady's name around? How insolent!”
“So this is how Ive household treats others? Sent a servant who doesn't know her place!”
“Ah, of course. You must've learned it from your lady herself. After all, she's nothing but a rude, overbearing—”
“Sir. Please take back what you just said.”
Liva's voice turned razor-cold, freezing the man mid-sentence. He knew he'd crossed a line, but pride kept him from backing down.
“You? A mere servant thinks she can order me around?!”
“Very well. Then I shall answer your discourtesy in the name of House Ive.”
...
Liva, you handled this far too excessively.
“S-Sorry, my lady... I couldn't stand him slandering you, so I injured him and sent evidence of all his criminal dealings to the Settlements and the Guild.”
“No. I meant you waited far too long to act. Pathetic. You should've hit him the moment he looked down on you.”
“Hmph. Anyone who insults you... He had already gotten off lightly.”
