Mostly on purpose. Something about her screams guileless, and she has enough moments of genuine cluelessness that she could easily be written off as a ditz. Not that it's entirely off the mark. Olivia is naturally excitable and playful, and has a dangerous tendency to get swept up in the moment. She's prone to looking for trouble when in need of entertainment, and is flippant in the face of danger. Her loyalty is difficult to earn, but goes deep and far, so much so that it could be considered double-edged. She's willing to risk a lot for those that earned it, her own safety included. It takes a while, but it should eventually be evident that she isn't all enthusiasm. With a brain wired for maths and tongue for sass, Olivia's simplemindedness belies a clever perfectionist, who has quips at the ready and thinks well on her feet. She also happens to be frustratingly stubborn and passionate, despite seeming carefree. The downside to being so driven is that she will never give up, even if you want her to. She takes failure hard, especially if her friends are among the casualties involved. The same drive prevents her from asking for help, even when she desperately needs it. [color=#ff7979][h3]History[/h3][/color]Born to a university maths professor and her one time teaching assistant, Olivia hasn't the most extraordinary of origins. She grew up into a simple household, neither lacking in resources nor swimming in luxury, in the middle of nowhere (better known as Haywards Heath). Her parents loved her, her friends adored her; it was all so painfully mundane, especially to a child itching for grand adventures. Every year on her birthday, she screws her eyes shut as she blow on her candle, desperately wishing for something, [i]anything[/i], exciting to happen, but nothing ever did. Turned out her wishes had been piling up, and it took little over eight years for it to overflow. Her father, a decade younger than her mother, would realize belatedly that he had married and settled down a bit too soon. The commitment was too much for him, and so he strayed, once, twice, three times a week. His infidelity shouldn't have come as a surprise to her mother—he had been rather sloppy with the evidence—but it did, and surprise wasn't the only thing she felt. Suffice it to say, her mother didn't take it well. Hell hath no fury and all that. In a span of weeks, her wish did away with all the boring in her life: her mother was sent to jail for attempted assault; her father ran far, far away and never looked back; and as for her, she was taken to her uncle, a paranoid recluse who has lived through the adventures she yearned for. Timothy Lockwood was a strange man, but Olivia learned to appreciate it. There was never a dull day with someone like him. He never talked about himself, but he did share a couple of things with her. [i]First[/i], someone was after him. There was a reason he kept to his home and never entertained guests until she had rudely barged in his life. [i]Second[/i], he was a cryptologist and he was hell-bent on teaching her what he knows. Olivia would find a practical application of this in hacking, two years into lessons. [i]Third[/i], he was preparing her for something. She didn't know what it was or when it was supposed to happen, but she knew it was coming. He insisted she stay fit, which she did through her continued ballet lessons, and stressed the importance of playing dumb. It's the best defense for someone like her, he'd said. Olivia was mostly unsurprised when she woke up one day and found him gone.

[*]Likes to Robin Hood people she doesn't like—mostly celebrities or government officials that annoy her—by hacking into their accounts and donating a fair sum to a charity.[/list] [/center] [/hider]
