Livian is initially a caring, motherly figure towards the child Atlas, the only source of kindness in Count Walpur Guiss's castle. When Atlas was activated, his power discharge accidentally destroyed Livian's original form, but she forgave Atlas after being restored. Atlas shared a very strong rapport with Livian, and would stay around her as much as possible, much to Skunk's dismay. However, Livian accidentally knocked over an oversized gargoyle, breaking it, and Guiss decided to punish her by making her into an inanimate sculpture, much to her horror. Atlas was so disgusted by this that he chased Guiss out of the castle and off a cliff. Atlas then set forth rebuilding Livian and then himself.
