The Hughes sisters were both born into a chaotic situation, despite being seven years apart. But, no one will ever catch either of them playing a small violin or drudging up painful memories for any sympathy. "Getting on with it" is a motto both Olivia and Wren have believed in since day one. Their parents were already deemed as unfit when Wren was a few years old, a court order sending her to their grandparents to be raised. Despite a relationship surrounded by drugs and betrayal, their parents had another daughter, seven years later. But with the court order still in place, the sisters lived mostly parallel to one another with inconsistent visitations.
Their parent's destructive tendancies continued and Olivia was ten years old when another court order placed her into care, their grandparents' situation and age making them unable two raise both girls. It caused a further rift between Olivia and Wren, but it also brought them that much closer. Wren became determined to gain independence and at eighteen, relinquished Olivia from the social care system under her guardianship. -
Life began to resemble normalcy then, but only just. Between grief of their grandparents passing, to the grief of seeing their parents fade away into ghosts of people, the sisters only had one another. And eventually, in order to put food into the table Wren began working with the Medina pack and gang. By the time Olivia was eighteen, Wren was already welcomed into the fold of the pack and coven and it seemed only natural for Olivia to follow. Her tasks were menial at first, mainly front of house and sometimes helping her sister with a con or two. But, for as dangerous as their life became, it was the closest to family they ever had since their grandparents died. And it was the first time the sisters really began to hone in on their skills of magic.
When the war began in 2020 and L.A was bombed, the Hughes sisters were separated and Liv found herself with several survivors from the gang, led by Cruz. It's the first time in her life she's ever remembered being without her sister, and Olivia will do whatever is needed to find her again. She's remained with the Medina's through thick and thin, trusting Cruz's guidance as a temporary Alpha until Santiago is found again.
But guilt eats at Olivia, handing over intel about the Colorado safetowns was something she never thought was right and now, in Hollow Cove, she's faced with many wolves who suffered because of the choice. Being helpful and wearing a smile is usually natural for Olivia, but not now she constantly has to face the consequences of her actions.

bio.
Olivia Hyejin Lee, well if one were to describe her, you’d need a few characters from a few TV shows to know her best.
1. Serena Van Der Woodsen, Gossip Girl. Olivia was born into money, father a high end exec that landed them in the likes of celebrities. Mother a former Miss Korea and became a socialite in the states along with her husband. The two moved from Korea to the states in the 80s, built business and money when they decided to expand their family once the footing was set. Olivia was first born, her sister not too far behind a few years later. By then, the Lee family began to see success, Jisung and Seohyun choosing more American names to fit in more with the American families they’d spend their times with. Olivia and her sister were given the best, but taught not to take it for granted. Given the world, but also known it can be taken away
TW: underage drinking, underage sexual activity.
2. Brooke Davis, One Tree Hill. Like her Serena Van Der Woodsen counterpart, Olivia sees herself living the best of her life, fighting the double standard of men and women. She’s pretty on the eyes, she’s someone who’s grown up a bit affluent in the world. Liv isn’t one to know or care about why is it okay for the goose (men) and not good for the gander (women).
That brings us to where the two characters meet and collide to make Olivia.
Wild and eccentric in her teenage years, riddled with credit cards and money, influence and late nights that blend into private school classes in the morning, Olivia finds herself running in circles she shouldn’t. Drinking and causing a ruckus. Teenage rebellion her parents call it. Therapists say its her own way of lashing out. High functioning anxiety.
When you’re trying to be the perfect kid in the spotlight and maintain that 4.0 GPA you’re told to have and be the child everyone wants you to be but you can’t because its so much pressure that all you want to do is scream--but that’s frowned upon because mom is of status and dad is amazing at what he does and your little satan sister is even amazing that you have to keep the charade. In doing so, you feel your fingers tremble and become numb, you don’t sleep much and you’re scared that one measly time you got a 95 on your exam is going to ruin and throw your entire course off. God Forbid that happens.
So it becomes easier to drink the pain away. Becomes easier to stumble into someone’s bed at night, be a bit more open and loving to an extent--of course physical by means.
Olivia cleans up her act--mostly thanks to medicine and the sheer fact that disappointing the family is something she’s kind of good at but doesn’t want to do anymore--and attends NYU on her own scholastic merit (she assumes, mainly) and studies Hospitality Management while juggling a side hustle of learning cosmetology. The more she kept herself busy, the better Liv was better at keeping herself distracted from relationships (spoiler alert: they all kind of failed either because they couldn’t click or she gave her all and didn’t receive the same in return. There’s also the ones that failed because she kept her walls up after a wall, but that’s a long winded story of how she started to keep her walls up in the first place, isn’t it?), the more she wouldn’t feel the ever dreading fear of failure.
As of right now, she’s graduated with a her degree and opted to live in Kingsboro, Brooklyn and live in the West End with people Liv knows she’s be able to click with. She doesn’t flaunt her money, in fact she tries not to touch it because Liv wants to build from the ground up like her father did. Liv wants to start small, live in a place where she can be free, be herself at her own rules and most of all--breathe.
