Biography[]
Prior to The Mirror Empire[]
Livia made her livelihood infusing mirrors before an accident that injured her arm. She tripped on a stair and broke her arm. Her estate fell into disrepair after that and she and Zezili struggled financially and socially.
During The Mirror Empire[]
Prior to attacking another dajian camp, Zezili decided to visit Livia since Saolina was nearby. It had been a year since Zezili saw or spoke to Livia. Once Zezili found her at the salon, she asked Livia how to destroy infused mirrors. Livia advised her that once infused, only the woman that infused it can break it. But prior to that, it could be broken with the help of a parajista.
Livia told her a mirror the size the Tai Mora are building would require a very talented jista, and referred her to Isoail Rosalia.
