[sofia carson, cis female] hey, isn’t that (olivia sanchez)? the 21 year old has the ability of (shapeshifting), which is why (she) is in the (animalis) section. the (politicial science) major is known for being (observant) and a little (unforgiving). when you think of them, you might see ( crimson manicured nails sharpening into claws, barbed wire fences to ward off intruders, wild beasts wearing human skin) they (hear rumours of the revolt), and it will be interesting to see where their path leads them.
[DEATH TW]
olivia rosaline sanchez was born in sacramento, california to a prominent senator and an aspiring actress.
her mother never particularly wanted a child, but she did want to be a trophy wife, so olivia was more of a means to an end. they were married almost immediately after she’d announced her pregnancy.
life was full of opulence for olivia for the first decade of her life. always costumed in adorable dresses and ribbons, her father showered her with attention whenever he managed a weekend home.
unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. when she was 10, her father lost his life in some boating accident on their family’s yacht. olivia was devastated and her mother – well, she at least pretended to be during the press releases.
perhaps out of sympathy for the relatively young widow, her mother’s acting career finally blossomed. they left her childhood home and chased after audition and audition, not an ounce of stability to be found again.
at 16, olivia’s mother was berating her for being the reason she’d failed some recent audition, rambling on that olivia was the reason she’d never had a successful career or life, that she wished she’d died instead of her father, when the teenager’s veins filled with a rage she couldn’t control.
the rest of the night is a blur of vague memories. her mother’s shrill screams. her own shouts only growls echoing across the room. claws ruining a surgically perfected face. red, red, red. a pair of strangers beside her, restraining her, her mother begging them to take ’ the demon ’ away.
the strangers were recruiters from brighton institute. their calming voices reassured her this wasn’t her fault, that they’d heal her mother and replace her memories, and olivia could only stare in horrified silence from her. who was she ? what was she ? was she evil ? not only for whatever she’d just done, but for wishing they’d have left her mother’s face to permanently scar ? she noticed their widened eyes, smelled the fear despite the soothing tones, and threw herself through the second story window in an attempt to escape. she’d never trusted strangers before, and she surely wouldn’t now.
she’d awakened in a hospital bed at brighton, informed that they’d taken her to some remote island. olivia was furious at first, but eventually gave into the idea that she’d have to accept learning to train and control her anger if she were ever to be allowed to leave. perhaps that wasn’t their blatant words, but she understood the meaning.
now, at brighton institute for half a decade, olivia doesn’t talk about her family, her past, or really anything regarding her personal life. she mostly stays to herself besides her close circle of friends, and prefers it that way. the staff still considers her a wildcard, never sure whether she’s a useful asset or a potential threat, or where her alliances truly lie. she thoroughly enjoys being seen as indifferent and intimidating.
most days, she’s still not entirely sure she’s anything more than a wild beast in human skin, but she likes the idea of brighton, of a mutant race, of a greater purpose.
— ANYTHING ELSE:
motives: to become a politician to honor her father’s memory, to bring glory to mutants as more than monsters or demons or exiled children, to prove her mother wrong, to survive.
interests: quilting, collectible action figures, coffee mugs, rabbits and hedgehogs, ancient egypt, nostalgic childrens shows, getting philosophical at 3am, adventuring after midnight, camping.
personality: ravenclaw, intj, true neutral, athena/nemesis cabin,
theme song: honestly by gabbie hanna; snake song by isobel campbell, mark lanegan;
pinterest board
other: small scar on left hand from her recruiting incident
— WANTED CONNECTIONS:
BEST FRIENDS - { 1 / 3 } - gemma holloway, OPEN, OPEN - although they may know nothing about her past outside of brighton, these are the only others olivia cares about at brighton, and they may perhaps be the only reasons her alliance is currently held with the institute. ride or dies she would kill for.
SOFT SPOT - { 0/1 } - OPEN - a younger student she feels like she needs to protect. maybe they’re just too soft or had a bad childhood or she sees something of herself in them.
EX-BOYFRIEND - { 0/1 } - OPEN - another reason for olivia to be distrusting, these two dated any time from 17-20, and he maybe totally ghosted her/she caught him with her roommate/etc. definitely on bad terms.
FRENEMIES - { 0 / 3 } - OPEN - people olivia regularly argues/debates with/picks on, probably is mutual, but she sometimes misses days when their verbal sparring is absent.
ENEMIES - { 0 / 3 } - olivia’s blunt and distrusting nature probably doesn’t make her many friends. maybe they don’t enjoy her presence, she thinks they’re way too bubbly/happy-go-lucky, or she ruined their friendship before they had the chance to even wrong her.
ROOMMATE - { 0 / 1 } - the next animalis student! olivia is a night owl and a heavy sleeper who often suffers from nightmares, but she’s also usually out so that’s nice for privacy!
OTHER - feel free to hit me up with any other ideas you have as well !
