Olivia. 5, 10 & 21
Olivia Rounds
5. Were they overprotected as a child? Sheltered?
No. Even though she is the oldest of all of her siblings, and the first child her parents got, they were never overprotective. Olivia was a good girl growing up, and that gave her parents mote trust in her, so as long as she never did anything stupid or very irresponsible, she got to hang out with whomever she wanted and do whatever she wanted. It wasn’t like they didn’t care at all what she did, but she was never sheltered, overprotected, grounded or told that what she did was wrong. In her teens, Olivia started to see the oppurunities when she had parents that didn’t care that much, and partying, boys and sex became normal, but she kept good grades at school and looked out for her little siblings at the same time. The fact that she wasn’t overprotected in her childhood, has made Olivia to the person she is - a girl that does whatever she wants, hangs out with everyone she wants and says (almost) whatever she wants.
10. Is your character street-smart, book-smart, intelligent, intellectual, slow-witted?
Street-smart. Olivia knows how to deal with situations, people and shitty things. She isn’t necessarily book-smart, but she is very intelligent. Intellectual? Hm, not really. She is smart somehow, but not like that. None of her parents or closest family memebers are intellectual either, her family just isn’t like that.
21. What are your character’s manners like? What is their type of hero? Whom do they hate?
Manners? Olivia is a very respectful type, but what first impressions she gives to people depends a lot on which mood she is in, what type of person it is and who it is. If she needs to make a good impression, of course she knows how to act. But even though she doesn’t care that much, almost everyone likes her, so Olivia believes you just have to be yourself and then attention and friendship will come automatically.
Olivia doesn’t have any specific needs for how any of her ‘heroes’/rolemodels have to be. She is a feminist, so a lot of female leaders and people fighting for feminism, is someone she looks up to. She also looks up to her uncle, whom she spent a lot of time with growing up. Olivia judges fast, and she talks shit a lot, but she knows that hate is a strong word. So, as Olivia would probably say herself - No hate.
