Personality:

Olivia is a very charismatic woman. She has always been very friendly towards people she meets, although during her early high school years she tended to be the opposite. Back then she was still feeling the pain of her grandfather's death and had completely changed. However, once again she's back to her old self. She can easily make friends with people. Olivia can also be flirtatious, although she never really does anything other than flirt around. Olivia is sometimes quick-tempered when someone really pisses her off and offends her. She tries to hold her temper back and will leave the room to go somewhere else for a moment. She doesn't want people to witness her being angry, so she tries to hide it the best she can. She's also very resentful - especially towards her aunt and uncle. She can hold grudges for years, which is obvious because of her grudge against her aunt and uncle for over ten years now.

Creativity has always been a strong part of Olivia's life. She's always enthusiastic about writing poetry or trying to write songs. She's very determined to do what she plans, even if things never seem to go her way. She's still determined to attend college even though she's almost thirty. She's impatient though which usually makes her long college wait very annoying. Olivia can also be self-centered and vain, caring mostly about herself than others. She's also stubborn at times and will always hold her ground and beliefs.

History:

Olivia Warner was a complete accident in her mother Jenna's life. Her mother had been sleeping around with some guy and had been planning on possibly officially dating him. However, she unexpectedly became pregnant and told him, and he was happy about it. They started dating so they could try to have a normal family. The first few months were fine, but as they got to know each other more and more, they began to constantly argue and fight with each other. He packed his things and got out of Jenna's life, which Jenna was perfectly happy about. In early January, Olivia was born to her mother who was happy to have her daughter, but also annoyed about the whole matter. Jenna moved in with her father when Olivia was a few months old. Jenna couldn't take care of a child in her little apartment on her own, so she hoped her father would help out.

Growing up, Olivia lived an alright life. Her mom was always busy working and her grandfather was also busy working. He only had a part-time job, so he was around in Olivia's life more so than her mother. Olivia was never able to meet her grandmother as she had died a few years before Olivia had been born. When Olivia was six years old, her mother disappeared. She left only a note and her last paycheck, but Olivia had no idea. Her grandfather kept it secret from her and never spoke about where Jenna had run off to. However, he soon enough had to explain too Olivia that her mother had left when Olivia kept asking where she was for weeks. Olivia wasn't sure what to do when he said that her mom was gone. She remembers crying for her mom a lot, but not much else from her six year old memory.

Olivia grew up only with her grandfather and sometimes her aunt would stop by to visit and see Olivia and Thomas, Olivia's grandfather. Her grandfather also began working full-time once again in order to earn a bit more money to support himself and his granddaughter. When Olivia was twelve, her grandfather had a heart attack. He died a few days later and Olivia was on her own. Her aunt soon became her official guardian. Olivia had to pack her few belongings and move to Miduna Beach, a couple of hours from where had grown up.

At first it was very weird for Olivia to be a brand new place - especially to be by the beach. She rarely spoke to her aunt, uncle, and cousins and kept mostly to herself. Her grandfather's death hit her hard and it was all she could ever think about. He had been in her life for so long and was basically the most important person in her life. She was never sure what she should do with herself. Olivia was also starting high school somewhere brand new and far away from her old friends. She hated no longer being near them and found it hard to make friends at Miduna Beach High School. She tried constantly to try and make friends, but it never happened. She almost gave up until near the end of the school year she heard about choir auditions. She thought that if she joined choir, she might be able to make friends there. She auditioned, but the choir director said that she was a great singer, but there were others a bit better than her. Disappointed, Olivia decided there was probably no point in trying anymore. The next year, she learned there would be a new director and she tried out again, and this new director loved her voice and she was able to join choir.

At first, Olivia kept to herself a bit in choir, but soon started making friends with others. Before long, she had a few new close friends that she never expected. Soon enough, Olivia began to get really close to a guy named Trenton. After a month of flirting with each other, they officially started dating each other. They were both juniors at the time. They continued dating all throughout high school and everyone in choir thought they were the perfect couple and were probably going to stay together forever. It seemed as it was going to be true as the two continued dating even after graduation. Trenton attended BIST while Olivia didn't attend college. Her aunt and uncle couldn't afford to send her to college and seemed to focus more on sending their own children to college. Olivia decided that one day she would earn enough money to go to college. Those dreams were put on halt as Olivia started working at a local grocery store in Miduna Beach. She and her boyfriend Trenton were always together whenever they could be. One year after graduation they got an apartment together. It was a little place in Barfield close to BIST so Trenton wouldn't have to travel far. Olivia started working at a little coffee shop on campus.

Things began to get more and more serious between Olivia and Trenton. After he graduated college and they were both twenty-two, he proposed to her. She said yes and the two began to make plans for their wedding. They started to plan out everything about their future. They daydreamed about how many kids they'd have and what they'd name them. They had everything completely planned out. After one year, life started to become a bit complicated for the two. Trenton was having trouble finding a job and they were starting to no longer be able to afford rent. The two started to argue constantly about everything under the sun. Olivia gave up on him and decided to leave him. She gave him back his ring and moved out. She couldn't really afford her own place, so she crashed at her cousin's apartment for a while.

At age twenty-four, Olivia moved to Blackwood Mountain. Apartments were cheap in the small town - even though the view was spectacular. She got a small job at a bar in town called Lloyd's Bar. She worked as a bartender and it was enough to pay for her little apartment. At her new job, she soon became very close to another bartender named Miranda Castro. The two girls became best friends soon enough and were spending all of their time together. After a few months, they got an apartment together in order to have cheaper rent. Olivia has also begun to think about what exactly she wants to do with her life. She knows she cannot keep working as a bartender forever and needs something else. She hopes to be able to afford college soon so she can attend that. She also has a small dream of becoming a singer, although she already knows that's way impossible and never happening. It's still just something that she wants.
