Appearance
Standing at a measly 5’4” and weighing it at just over 110lbs, Olivia is a rather small girl. With a lean, sporty build tailored from her love of skateboarding and mountain biking, she is rather athletic and has a fair amount of muscle definition in her legs. Her long brown hair is often seen with a single streak of vibrant dye, normally blue or purple, and is usually kept down. Not being one for looking like a barbie, she keeps her face looking mostly natural with conservative usage of makeup. Her only notable features are the few tattoos she has (acquired from sources not requiring parental permission of course), one of which runs the length of her right calf, the other on her left shoulder blade. The former was acquired on her sixteenth birthday as a present to herself, the latter was acquired much more recently as a message to her parents’ constant attempts to get her into medicine.
Olivia normally dresses for comfort. Her usual attire is a pair of beat up jeans or capris length yoga pants with a loose, off-shoulder top or tank-top. On a colder day, she’ll usually be seen wearing a flannel shirt overtop of her normal clothing as well as a loose beanie. Olivia will also normally wear her faded red Converse shoes on a warmer day, or her leather riding boots on a colder one.
Personality
Despite her very comfortable upbringing, Olivia is a rather troubled individual. With her parents, she’s contradictory and rebellious, unwilling to bend to their wishes for her. While her parents want her to get into medicine much like themselves, Olivia hates the idea and she aims to show that dislike to them in any way possible. Much like her brother Elliot, she is quite the spitfire when she’s in a bad mood.
However, that’s not to say she’s not a decent person. When she’s not showing her dislike of her parents’ view, she’s actually quite a kind and caring person. While slow to trust a new face, when she does warm up to someone she is loyal to a fault and will try to be there for her friends. The little rebellious streak in her brain is balanced by a good heart and a decently guided moral compass.
Olivia is also not one to follow many rules and has made frequent visits to the principal’s office at her school. Almost the polar opposite of her parents -- and probably because her parents were such saints -- Olivia loves to bend the rules and seek the not-so-legal thrills in life. An adrenaline junky to the core and little fear in her heart, she lives on the wilder side of life. In her mind, a boring life is not a life to be had.
Upbringing
Born on a bright and sunny day in Salem, Olivia was the fifth and final (hopefully) child of the Horton family. Being the youngest wasn’t so hard, all she had to do was blame her older siblings and trouble would never come her way. It was here that Olivia’s rebellious streak first started. Throughout her entire primary school career, she learned that the most fun was had when rules were broken. Fences were climbed, paper airplanes were thrown and music was listened to in class. She should’ve had a frequent flier’s card for the principal’s office.
About halfway through primary school, Olivia’s parents sat her down one night and had a little chat with her. They explained that if she was trying to get their attention, all she had to do was say something. The doctor and his wife explained that school was important and it affected her entire life. If she messed up now, her life would be harder down the road. But of course, being the eleven year old that Olivia was, all of this advice from her parents went in one ear and right out of the other.
And then high school came. Her entire world changed as an entirely new environment surrounded her with an entirely new group of people. Of course she still had her old friends from public school, but this was different. Olivia started hanging out with guys more often, learned to skateboard and found a new interest in guitar, partially from her brother. Her grade nine year was short, fun and loaded with excitement. Grade ten was much of the same. More boys, more skateboarding and definitely more guitar. She was as happy as could be, even if her parents were rather disapproving of the whole teenage rebel phase that Olivia was going through.
Hopefully it was just a phase.
Misc
- Hopes to get her driver's license soon and save up for her own car without the help of her parents.
