Livia: *Sits with her friends, hugging her knees to her chest*
Periwinkle: Take your time, Liv...it's alright..
Periwinkle: Just start at where you feel most comfortable
Annie: *Wraps an arm around Livia* We're here to listen, not to judge...
Livia: *Sighs, her eyes watering* It started after I turned fourteen...something, I don't wanna say, made my parents split up...
Livia: Me, Cal and Stelle went with Mama and...things just went downhill from there, I couldn't...I couldn't take it much..
Livia: My mother would have the worst breakdowns, freakouts and emotional breakdowns...I was always the one who had to calm her down and deal with her insults and threats
Livia: *Clutches her pajama sleeves* She always threatened to rip my hands off or bury me alive...it was always either of those...
Livias: Sometimes she'd call me a monster and a witch..
Annie: Liv... *Gently rubs her back*
Livia: She always left us for weeks on end to travel for work and I'd be left to care for my siblings....there was always some sort of trouble lurking around as well..
Livia: .....I almost took out a faes eye because they went for Cal for some reason..I pretended to be him and slashed the faes face, which chased him off...
Livia: *Sighs* One day me and Mom got into an argument and my power went out of control and I injured myself, I couldn't move for weeks and I stayed with my Aunt..
Livia: *Nods, smiling* She was the best but she left this world some time after I healed, I visited her and I must've slept through what happened with her..
Livia: *Sobs quietly, tightening her arms around her knees*
Periwinkle: Oh...Liv..
Livia: I stopped speaking...I couldn't feel any emotions...I hated everything, the only good thing that happened after my parents split up was Ace reaching out to me!
Livia: *Lifts her head* He's taken care of me and pieced me back together....
Periwinkle: *Hugs her tight, sighing* You had it tough, Liv...
Periwinkle: We're glad you told us though...
Ranni: Yeah, it's a good thing that you managed to let this all out..
Annie: You did good, Livy...
Livia: *Smiles slightly, looking at them all* I love you guys...
Annie: We love you too, Liv...

Periwinkle: *Glares at Thea, her arms crossed*
Thea: Hello-
Periwinkle: *Looks away* Why don't you go away, Livia doesn't want to see you and you are not welcomed here!
Periwinkle: *Glares at her* She doesn't need a deadbeat Mother!!
Annie: *Looks coldly at Thea* Our girl doesn't need any bad influences around her and I'm seeing the biggest bad influence in Twisted Wonderland.
Ranni: Indeed, so why don't you just leave.
Thea: Excuse me-
Livia: *Steps out, wearing a dark blue off shoulder crop top shirt and the ripped jean shorts Periwinkle got her*
Livia: *Fixes her earrings, her hair down out of its usual style* I'm ready to go-
Livia: *Stares at Thea alarmed* Mom...
Thea: Livia, can we talk-
Periwinkle: Come on, Liv, you have a right to not talk to her, you're almost an adult...
Periwinkle: Let's head to the port and not let her ruin our day...
Livia: *Looks at Thea then looks away, walking off with her friends*
Thea: Livia!
Livia: *Laughs when Periwinkle started fussing over lipgloss* We can get you more, Peri!
Ranni: *Grins* Yeah, girl, chillax!
Annie: *Chuckles, patting Periwinkles back*
Periwinkle: *Sighs, smiling as she handed Livia the usual spare lipgloss she carried around for her*
Livia(10): *Holds the kitchen knife, carefully cutting the carrots to make the stew*
Livia: *Yelps, dropping the item when she cut her finger*
Cal(7): *Hurries over* Sissy? Are you okay?!
Livia: Y-Yeah...I'm good..! *Carefully bandages her finger up, going back to cutting the carrots*

Cal: Broccoli! *Beams, looking up from his coloring book*
Livia: *Smiles, chuckling* Alright, baby...

Losing the ability to speak

Livia: *Turns away, going to make the food*

Livia: *Snatches her hand away, yelping when a fist hit her*

Chris: Liv...
Livia: *Steps back, breathing heavily*
Verbal Abuse
Livia(14): *Stands in front of Thea, getting ready to calm her meltdown*
Thea: *Looks up at Livias, her eyes distant and dissociated* You are nothing but a witch...I wish you were never my daughter, how was a monster like you given to me!
Thea: I wish I could rip your hands off, make sure you're unable to make those dumb cursed riches of yours..
Livia: *Flinches back, quickly hiding her hands behind her back*
Livia: Mama-
Thea: DON'T CALL ME THAT!! *Glares at her, sobbing quietly* Why couldn't you have been born NORMAL?!!
Livia: *Looks down* ...I'm sorry..

Livia: *Quickly let's him go* Sorry...I just got startled that you were leaving so suddenly..
Livia: I'll be okay, you can go hang out with your other friends..

Cassla: *Leaps onto Livias arm, using her smokey substance to hide the scars*
Thea: You had no right to leave Cal and Stelle with Baul
Livia: *Stares at her in disbelief* Is this why you asked me to come home?!
Livia: I thought it was for something important!
Thea: Livia, this is important! *Stands up* They should be here with me..!
Livia: Well, I didn't trust you enough to leave them with you!!
Thea: You don't make that decision! I'm their mother-
Livia: YOU WERE MY MOTHER TOO!!
Thea: *Stares at her, her eyes widening*
Livia: You were my mother too...what about me? You say "I'm their mother", where do I fit in?!
Livia: Where am I in that "their"?! Am I not your daughter?! Did you not give birth to me and say having me was the greatest moment of your life?!
Livia: It's not my fault that you and Lilia separated!
Thea: *Perks up*
Livia: Yeah...I stopped calling him Papa..because It didn't feel like I was raised by either of you..
Livia: I raised Cal for THIRTEEN YEARS!! I raised Stelle after she was born because you were too busy with your FREAKOUTS, BREAKDOWNS AND LEAVING US HERE SO YOU CAN TRAVEL FOR WORK!!
Livia: Neither of you are THEIR parents or MY parents
Livia: So that little "I'm their mother", can end here, NOW!
Livia: You're not their mother, I'm their sister AND their mother because I RAISED THEM!! LIKE I HAD TO RAISE MYSELF!!!
Livia: The most you've done is give birth and change my diapers..it seems like after that, I was all on my own..
Livia: ...You were my mother too....how could you do and Lilia do this to us..and not notice when we push away and get distant..
Thea: Livy-
Livia: *Turns and runs out, her hair flying behind her*
Thea: LIVIA!! Wait!

Livia: *Drops down to her knees, screaming in anger as she punched the ground causing crystals and gemstones to fly from her and erupt from the dirt*
Livia: *Sobs, clutching her hair, her hands trembling*
Livia: *Screams louder, crystals and gemstones flying from her, stabbing into the trees*
