Who needs to be emotionally supportive when you live alone, work in a dead-end job and spend your free-time improving the lives of your characters instead of your own? :)

Backstory Olivia never really knew her father, with as much time as he spent at the office doing whatever scientists do, the only real time he spent at home he spent watching old black and white horror movies. Her father always had a fascination with Dracula and other vampire themed creatures. When asked about it, he would always try to explain himself as if there were some way that the fictional creatures could benefit society, if only they were real for study.
Olivia herself hated horror in any form, and was very content to sit in her room and pretend to hate her father while perhaps being a bit too active on the internet. She had no real idea who her father really was or what he did at his job but as far as she was concerned it had nothing to do with her. Then again, based on recent events it was about to have a whole lot to do with her.
Joseph Hare was a lot more than just a scientist, though much of his job even he barely understood. What he did understand was that his unnatural obsession with recreating vampires, and his considerable results with speeding up the natural healing process of the human body (especially when provided with Corporation materials) was what attracted their interest and allowed him to continue with his pet project. However not everything was as it seemed.
Apparently according to The Daedalus Corporation, Joseph's pet project was picking up a lot more results than they expected. When they spoke to Joseph about turning his project into a weapon, he did not react as favorably as they had hoped. Following multiple threats from his employer, Joseph formally resigned and returned home to his family, unaware that The Daedalus Corporation was not just about to allow any of their secrets go so easily.
Joseph never made it home though, ambushed on the road hours from home. He would later wake up back in his old office, where his former employers informed him of the passing of his wife, and his daughter's acceptance into the program, specifically to test the latest developments in the Scientist's own pet project.
__________________
Olivia never understood what really happened, all she remembered was going to sleep and waking up handcuffed to a table in a very lab-like room. She had been 17 at the time, and over the year she spent in constant pain as her body constantly rearranged itself in subtle ways due to the exposure to her father's project, she began to develop a sort of apathy for it all. Though disliking the changes to her body, in time she learned that complaining only lead to much worse than genetic experimentation, somehow.
Personality Before the whole Daedalus disaster, Olivia was a mostly antisocial girl in person, but somehow very outgoing when she is not face to face with somebody. She will always try to keep out of somebody's way, and when it comes down to it she has a soft spot for people in trouble or that need help, something that can be easily exploited.
Procedure Besides being injected with her Father's original project, (from here on referred to as "Project Ichor") Olivia was subject to a number of successful iterations of the original Project Ichor, most all involving forcing her body to adapt at a molecular level to try and balance out the many flaws displayed by the original project. Results often involved much pain, as her body gained attributes over a set of weeks at a time that otherwise should have taken hundreds of years of human evolution and careful select breeding.
Modifications
The original Project Ichor was meant to allow humans to safely consume human blood, and even possibly gain from it. This resulted in Olivia being able to consume human or animal blood that her body then strips of nutrients that would have otherwise been transported through the original subject. However the Project had it's drawbacks, drawbacks that began to accumulate as Joseph went on to add a bit more Aesthetic to his Project. Daedalus over the year, had added a few _____________
Night Vision - Subject (Referred to as Alpha) Develops a sort of natural night-vision, but as a result has an extreme aversion to bright light, and in later iterations brought on by unsuccessful attempts to tone down it down, instead worsened the condition, further spreading said aversion to include skin extremely sensitive to UV rays.
Fangs - nearly half an inch longer than the normal canine teeth of humans and considerably tougher and sharper (at this point essentially fangs) Alpha has four fangs, replacing where her original canine teeth had been. These fangs are quite obviously used to manually puncture the skin to retrieve blood. The teeth themselves are an issue however as they are larger than normal, and while Alpha is able to fully close their mouth (Closed being able to comfortably keep lips together) their newfound fangs now rest upon their other teeth, preventing her jaw from completely closing and leaving a half inch gap between her incisors.
Blood Consumption: The main issue of Project Ichor, this went through several iterations since Alpha's original exposure to Project Ichor. Currently, Alpha is able to consume the blood of nearly any animal (human included) and her body extracts the needed nutrients from the blood. However as a result of this Alpha's body has begun violently rejecting normal food, having long since lost the capability of properly digesting it.
Going for longer than half a day without blood begins causing the effects of normal hunger. After two days hunger pains set in, causing the brain to panic and send itself into overdrive and causing the production of large amounts of Epinephrine (Adrenaline) Alpha is able to resist the negative effects of this chemical for a short duration, but during this 'starving' period the body near continuously produces Adrenaline, and after a day of this Alpha is subject to heart arrhythmias, strokes, and heart attacks.
Further advancements in Project Ichor has done little other than further the starvation period, and other subjects infected with Project Ichor tended to die of strokes or heart attacks before starvation.
Talents Average run speed of 17mph (Peaking at nearly 26.6mph after exposure to Project Alpha ,only 1mph slower than the record set in Berlin on 16 August 2009 by Usain Bolt)
Took a year long class for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, quitting at age 15.
Able to read, write and speak Japanese at a near fluent level. A result of her growing love of Japan and constant bugging of her parents for classes.
Decent guitar skills
Looking Deeper
What do you value most? What (or who) are you most afraid to lose? "My life, I might have turned into a guinea pig for these guys and still might not really think this is all real or even really care what they do to me anymore, I'm still not ready to die.
What was your favorite thing to do, before you were taken? "Total weeb if i'm being perfectly honest. Anime, videogames, the growing absurdity of 'meme' culture, it was my bread and butter."
What do you want? "A whole lot of things, but I suspect you might be looking for a specific answer, here is a few."
"I want to be able to eat gummy bears without puking minutes later."
"I want to be able to go a week without having to drink blood."
@Naive1 If they are allowed to be in the same space, and she's not too scared of him, The Dog would definitely volunteer his own blood to Olivia. Though it probably would be like drinking from a bunch of people/animals at once, if she has flavor detection for the blood. Blood smoothie.
It would severely depend on his down diet, and if he is eating properly if I'm being perfectly honest, seeing as she can only gain nutrients from said blood. But overall, taste-wise it's just blood but if she goes for too long without feeding she can kinda 'get lost' I mean, imagine not eating for a week+ and suddenly being offered a buffet, easy to lose control.
I dunno about actual combat, but a starving Olivia pumped full of Adrenaline to the point of a near heart attack, a decent amount of training in Brazilian Ju Jitsu and essentially four razor blades for teeth would be terrifying.
Also, 'training' would very heavily depend on the subject. Olivia would have little more than gene therapy to try and balance out the drawbacks she has and add more to what she could do. All in all training would involve improving their strengths and trying to lessen the weaknesses. Not ALL subjects would get combat training, makes no sense. Such training would be reserved for subjects showing such capabilities with their powers, and being loyal enough to 'control'
Olivia will 100% be the one who like, as soon as any sort of resistance crops up in their escape will give up, making somebody else just snatch her up and run.
"They literally have guns, I mean we might be super-freaks but not all of us can cut through steel or whatever, I don't feel like being shot... plus they said they were working on making it so I can actually eat sweets."
