( phoebe tonkin, cis woman, she/her ) OLIVIA WALKER : the THIRTY-FOUR year old resident that's been around the SHOPPING MALL for ONE YEAR. when the infected swarmed the streets the first night, LIV really proved how FOCUSED + DECISIVE they were. however, many would argue that they can also be quite ASSERTIVE + ESCAPIST. five years has passed since their old life ended and the new one began, developing skills that have helped them become a SOLDIER within their group. it makes sense to see them thriving at the job because of their HAND TO HAND COMBAT SKILLS AND SHOOTING ACCURACY.

born in 1995 to john david walker and constance marie walker, nΓ©e laurier, olivia was the youngest of two. her mother left the familly without a word when olivia was 11 and her father died from lung cancer in 2023. olivia was always a free spirit with a rebellious strike but when her mother left, things only got worse. she never tried to get in touch with her mother and doesn't know if she's still alive. to her, the ones that stays are the ones worth loving.
the walker came from a long line of ranchers in montana, their family ruling the town and montana. what they did to stay on top has never entirely been a secret and her father, david, should have been the one to inherit the family ranch after her grandfather's death but things went sideways as david butted head with his younger brother. working behind everyone's back, it was the youngest walked brother that got the ranch and olivia, her father and brother were told to leave.
moving into a small apartment, the family had to adjust to a new life, the one of pariah. david opened a bar, the wild horses, and made. small living from it. olivia rebellious nature became stronger, her edges sharper. she was prone to fighting and would get in trouble. she never spoke much of everything she lost and anyone bringing it up to her learned to not do it again.
before they were forced to live the family ranch, olivia lived for her horse, elsie. she would do competitions and made a small name for herself, one that she left behind. after leaving the ranch, she has never mounted a horse.
for a while she attended community college but studies weren't for her and her father's health was declining. olivia had always been a daddy's girl and she dropped out to work full time at the bar.
the virus seemed to hit bozeman later, the town small and remote but when it become clear that hell was coming, olivia decided to stay in town for as long as she could, hoping to ride it out there but things didn't work out that way.

it didn't take long for the city to fell. stores were raided, people turned against each others with only one goal in mind; saving themselves. it felt ridiculous to held on to the bar for as long as she did, guarding it against people she was once friendly with but it was the last thing she had left of her father. his legacy. her brother had to drag her out just as a horde of infected finally made it in.
olivia and her brother didn't know who to trust but they knew there was power in number so they tried to make it with other people. it always ended the same, with them running away as quickly as they could, either because their small camp was attacked or because they had stolen something and needed to leave. there were no real laws anymore and if everyone else took what they wanted when they wanted, they didn't see why they shouldn't do the same.
eventually they met someone that told them about the shopping mall and they decided to follow them. the life they had been living was exhausting and they yearned for a sense of community again. olivia threw herself into it, training and doing everything she could to be an asset to the community. still, the strict set of rules was not one she was used with and it has been impossible to get that rebellious side of her to settle down.
