Marianne Olson

Marianne Olson is a character in the short story, Witch Trap. She is William Olson's younger sister, and a friend of Amelia de la Cruz's.

History
Marianne and her brother William traveled to California, USA, in hopes of finding riches since their late father left them nothing after his death. While traveling on a ship in poor condition, Marianne fell ill, and they stopped in Valparaiso to rest. They found shelter in Amelia de la Cruz's home. Since Amelia's father had business dealings with theirs, they easily trusted each other. Amelia then nursed Marianne back to health, and she and William fell in love during that time.

When they reached California, William found a gold strike, but it was already claimed by the Conrad family. To claim the gold for himself, William agreed to marry the Conrad daughter, Leanna. Marianne worried about Amelia, since she was already waiting for him to marry her. When Amelia unexpectedly showed up, she found out about William's engagement. Marianne became her companion and often consulted her. After Amelia was executed of witchcraft, Marianne worried for the state of the town, which worsened overtime.

The Charmed Ones then showed up, and Marianne tried to help them, only to be accused of witchcraft and evil herself. At her execution, Marianne told the townsfolk off, telling them that they are the evil that is lurking in the town. At this, her brother jumped in to save her, and Amelia's curse on the town was broken.
