[h1]Olive Valitina | 23 | Female[/h1][/center]


[hider=Olive Valitina]
[b][u]Background:[/u][/b]
[indent]	Olive was the first and only child of the Valitina couple. Shortly after her birth her father was re-stationed in Europe, and as a loving wife her mother moved to Europe as well. Having a military father Olive had traveled all over the world by the age of 16. She never made many friends, there was no reason to anyway her family moved so often. Not that moving hadn't come to a great advantage, she'd been on African safaris and explored all of Europe. She'd been to the cold reaches of green land, sat on beaches in the Bahamas, she'd even toured the south American rain forest. However with only occasional parental supervision she got into a lot of trouble.

	Finally her family returned to American, settling down in Pennsylvanian. Throughout high school she got into more trouble than before, finally getting friends, but not the sort her parents approved of. With them she learned to hot wire and break entries. Often she just went along so she wasn't alone, letting others do most of the vandalizing, though she did do her fair share of it. when she graduated high school with a GPA higher then she could've dreamed having hardly tried at all and a diploma she decided that she aught to get her life together and do something worth while for once. With a high school degree and a good score on both the ACT and the SAT she went to Philadelphia to study Ecology and Biology.There she spent four years slaving over college papers and environmental reports, marine biology internships all with hardly any free time. On those lucky brakes that she did find herself with time to spare she took to parkour, Philadelphia was certainly a great spot for it, and the rush brought back her better memories. 
	
	When the biggest part of the apocalypse happened Olive was nearly a mile out in the Atlantic checking a sudden decline in a particular strand of bacteria. While collecting data she made the most amateur mistake of falling asleep, in a boat, alone, in the Atlantic. She had perhaps been so stressed over  trying to keep up with her last year of school while trying to find a real job, or perhaps it was the dullness of the lack of bacteria and the gentle lull of the ocean that rocked her to sleep, regardless, falling asleep saved her life. Back on shore there very few survived.

	When she woke up she had drifted, how far she had no clue but a single text from her dad told her that he'd gone out to help with some sort of disaster. An hour later she docked on shore to find a great vastness that was not there when she had left. Dead were everywhere and guessing that it was some freak terrorist attack she didn't mind hot wiring a jeep to get back to her family.She tried calling her dad's cell, but of course he didn't answer, neither did her mom when she called shortly after. She knew there was a military base not to far from Philadelphia and figured that'd be the best way of finding her dad. And so that's where she went. [/indent]

[b][u]Personality:[/u][/b]
[indent]	Olive doesn't work well with others, and aside from a short spree in high school she never did. She's much happier working alone, though that isn't an option now. Having space to spread out is also an important thing for her, and once again not an option due to the risk of dying. One of the only things not ruined for her by the apocalypses was her determination to do something good. With a disaster causing the world around to crumble, what better time to help it. With the situation as it is currently she had a perfect opportunity to change the world, or at least Pennsylvania, for the better. This one good thing amidst all the bad keeps her from becoming overwhelmed by all the other bad things.[/indent]
