That Round 17 board state looks so badass knowing that you won the battle. Olivia seems very strong in all stages of the game. In lower league, having two attack types with opportunity is already strong. She also gets mimic at level 2 which I think is too early.

Wouldn't it be nice to have the mimic ability in real life? I mean, I know a lot of smart and talented people, so if I was able to obtain one of their positive traits at even the rate of once a year, a decade from now I would be pretty awesome.

You technically don't need a mimic for that. If you spend a year learning/working on something, you should have some proficiency at it at the end of the year. It does require a lot of time, effort, and consistency.
