She is 5'2", with a killer body that has curves in all the right places. She has always been careful about her body thanks to her father, and continued to follow his healthy diet and exercise regimen even after leaving the family home. Her somewhat big nose has always been her biggest insecurity, but even though she has the money and will to get it fixed, she has never gotten plastic surgery so as not to disappoint her father. Her hair is naturally dark brown (like her brother's), but it's been a few years since she dyed it the dark brown/light brown/blonde ombre style she now has. Currently being six months pregnant, her round belly is clearly noticeable, but she continues to carry herself the way she always has: with a confidence that catches the eye of everyone in a room. She has always been an avid fashionista, and is now a current trend-setter for maternity clothing. Her outfits are always on point and selected up to the smallest detail. As for her makeup, it's always flawless.[/indent] [hr][hr] [center] [img]http://images.celebeat.com/data/images/full/2550/jessie-james-decker.jpg[/img] [i]"My lack of romantic involvement comes from the fact that I've been too busy building a future for myself and making my dreams a reality instead of wasting my precious time on men who don't deserve me."[/i][/center] [hr][hr] [color=ec008c][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Liv is what you might call a high-maintenance woman: always aiming for perfection. She is hard-working, confident, smart, sexy and witty to a fault. Her natural ability to carry out interesting conversations with intelligence, confidence and poise make her a standout for anyone that meets her. When treated fairly, she is very kind, sweet and loyal; treat her wrongly, and Liv will not hesitate in bluntly cutting you out of her life. Though she can seem very serious and centered at first, get to know her well and Liv can be the one of the funnest and most outgoing people you could meet. When angry or upset, she tends to bottle up her emotions and remain expressionless, but ultimately fails and lashes out strongly. When it comes to romance, she is extremely picky on who she chooses to spend her time with. These men need to fun, ambitious, entertaining, and able to give Liv a good conversation that goes beyond meaningless topics, one that can be mentally stimulating. Though she can be extremely reserved at first, the right partner will provide her with enough trust for Liv to open up to her fullest romantic potential. Once in love, she gives her 100% and expects nothing less in return. If she feels a man can't keep up with her, then it's good-bye and off to the next one without a second thought.[/indent] [color=ec008c][b][u]Likes[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Shopping [*]Fine Dining [*]Traveling [*]Makeup and Beauty Products [*]Fashion [*]Her closet/beauty room [*]Volleyball [*]The beach [*]Glitter and all things sparkly[/list][/indent] [color=ec008c][b][u]Dislikes[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Her Nose [*]Animals [*]Being outdone, out-shined or lied To [*]Drunk people (and getting drunk) [*]Her younger sister [*]When Rich flirts with other women ([i]"I know we're not exclusive, but it still drives me insane!"[/i])[/list][/indent] [color=ec008c][b][u]Strengths[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Determined [*]Intelligent [*]Public Speaking [*]Persistent [*]Strong-willed[/list][/indent] [color=ec008c][b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Perfectionist [*]Hides her feelings ([i]"Learned it from the best teacher: my momma."[/i]) [*]Jealous [*]Holds Grudges[/list][/indent] [color=ec008c][b][u]Fears[/u][/b][/color] [indent]All of them involve her baby: losing her child, failing as a mother (as she didn't have a mother figure to begin with, so she has no guide), not being able to care for he/she properly, but especially having her baby growing up with the idea that anything else is more important than family.[/indent] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://scontent-b.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-frc/t51.2885-15/914369_1489751411256775_326400735_n.jpg[/img] [i]"Always try your best to aim for perfection: nothing more, nothing less."[/i][/center] [hr][hr] [color=ec008c][b][u]History[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Born on July 13th of 1990, Olivia is the seventh child of Cassiopeia and Reginald Carrington. Right off the bat she was placed under the care of nannies, which meant that there had never been a direct relationship between her and her parents that went beyond the rare and occasional family dinners. Even so, Liv grew up beautiful, happy and spoiled by her brothers and eventually by her adoptive sister Tatiana, since she was the youngest Carrington female. Her non-existent relationship with her parents didn't seem to bother her, as she found in her siblings all the love and attention a child could need. If so, it made her more independent and safe to the pressures her other siblings faced, as if her parents had given up on the rest of their children. But they say all good things come to an end, and Olivia found her spotlight stolen when her parents decided to adopt Marisol. After graduating middle school, entering adolescence, seeing her older siblings leave the family home and the growing animosity between her and her younger sister, Liv decided that the atmosphere in her home was one in which she couldn't continue to live in. Anxious to get away from Marisol and start making her own name, Liv did her research and convinced her parents to let her attend New York's prestigious Blackwood Pines Boarding Academy, and they accepted. Once there, she regained her spotlight by joining the volleyball team and was able to keep her spot all throughout those four years, going as far as playing in the Varsity team in her sophomore year and being Team Captain in her senior year. While the team made top spots at state and national competitions, it was during Liv's command that the team won first place at nationals. Her athlete status, easygoing attitude and charm made her quite popular in Blackwood Pines. She built close friendships (that still remained to this day) and, along with her good looks, got attention of plenty of boys. As any regular teenage girl, she had one or two high school boyfriends and her fair share of adventures, but nothing too crazy. Of course, friends, volleyball and boys were no excuse to let her grades slip in the slightest, and so she kept a high GPA and took several AP classes that would be useful in the career dream she had: run the marketing department of a prestigious fashion magazine. Working hard until the very end, Liv graduated with the third highest GPA of her school and was recruited by the University of Pennsylvania during one of her games. During the course of her college years, she excelled in her major and in the volleyball court, and decided to have no romantic ties to focus all her attention to building up a future for herself in the professional world. At the same time, Liv began doing summer internships in various fashion magazines and gaining all the professional experience that she could. By the time she had graduated UPenn with high honors, her hard work (and maybe a little help from Cassiopeia and her friends, who knows?) had earned her a position as the Assistant of the Head of the Marketing Department in Vogue Magazine. Conveniently, Francine Humphrey was to retire in a few years. Recognizing the potential in Liv, Francine suggested that Liv pursue a master's degree in Public Relations, which would make her eligible for her position. The decision to get that master's degree would set the motions for her to meet Richard Davis... And the rest is history. Liv is scheduled to be Francine's successor by her 30th birthday. Apart from her steady job at Vogue, Liv is excitedly putting together her baby's nursery on her and Rich's 'family home' and gathering as much information as possible on parenthood, savoring every moment of her blissful pregnancy in peace. No one in her family knows of her pregnancy, as she's chosen to keep it a secret to avoid any undesired stress that could affect her during this delicate time. But when she least expected it, Liv received the package from her parents.[/indent] [color=ec008c][b][u]Education[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Third highest GPA of her graduating class at Blackwood Pines Boarding Academy B.A. Marketing M.A. Public Relations[img][/img][/indent] [color=ec008c][b][u]Favorite memory[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Finding out she was expecting, along with the gender of her child and feeling her baby kick, flutter and move inside her, are without a doubt her best memories.

From the few times she interacted with her father, it had been clear to Liv from where she'd inherited some of her traits: determination and seriousness. The one interaction she remembered clearly was when she expressed her desire to get plastic surgery to fix her nose. Her father had given her a disappointed look and talked to her about how she should appreciate her beautiful looks, how the right man would value what she thought were her flaws and to always maintain a healthy lifestyle. Though he was almost always expressionless and emotionless, the only times she'd seen him show cracks of emotion was when any of her siblings had gotten themselves in trouble or had disappointed him. She hoped that the news of being a grandfather for the first time finally made him fully show some kind of pleasant emotion. [hr] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u]C A S S I O P E I A C A R R I N G T O N[/u][/color][/h2] [i]"My mother? If I were to describe her in a movie title, it would no doubt be Frozen. That woman is The Ice Queen! *singsong voice* The cold never bothered her anyway."[/i] Because her mother had birthed her in a moment that was crucial to TriV, Olivia's care had been shifted to the numerous nannies the Carringtons had once the maternity period was over, hence why she never really had a relationship with her. The times that Olivia did see Cassiopeia, she was always on her best behavior and careful not to attract attention to herself, intimidated by her icy, blunt personality. Olivia looked up to the woman as one would a role model. She found her mother a strong, cunning, intelligent and independent woman; traits that she wanted to have (and succeeded in having) when she was older. Not that she would tell her mother that, of course. The similarities between mother and daughter can be seen in their deeply-rooted love for perfection. [hr][/center] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u]S A M A N T H A C A R R I N G T O N[/u][/color][/h2] [i]"I never really knew her."[/i][/center] Samantha was 17 when Liv was born, and since she left the family home for college and never returned Liv didn't even know her besides the family photos in her parents' house, their constant warning that she should never be like her, and the stories told by her older siblings. [hr] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u]G A B R I E L C A R R I N G T O N[/u][/color][/h2] [i]"The first man in my life to show me how a woman should be treated."[/i][/center] Gabriel was the closest thing Olivia had to a father figure. Always big, strong, and caring, he would usually chastise their other siblings whenever they teased her and console her with a big hug; never short on affection for her. Her favorite memories of him were when he taught her how to ride the shiny pink bike she'd gotten for her sixth birthday and how he would read her a bedtime story every night. Olivia's first broken heart came when Gabe left for college. She currently keeps contact with Agent Gabriel Carrington through Facebook, and loves to boast about him being her older brother. She is proud of all he has accomplished. [hr] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u]D A N I E L C A R R I N G T O N[/u][/color][/h2] [i]"Dear old Danny... If my mother is the Ice Queen, there is no doubt he's the Ice Prince."[/i][/center] Olivia doesn't have any much memories about Daniel, because after his eleventh birthday (Liv was only three) he was always 'too busy' to bother spending time with his younger siblings. What Liv does remember is how he would brush them off when invited to play, shaking his head at them as if they were ignorant children taking up moments of his precious time with a plain, cold, bordering on arrogant personality even from those younger years, so similar to that of their mother's." [hr] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u]R O W A N C A R R I N G T O N[/u][/color][/h2] [i]"He's one of the few in the family with a soul and a warm, beating heart."[/i][/center] Olivia's second favorite brother was Rowan, and he was the one to take care of her after Gabe had left. He absolutely spoiled her, always listened to what she had to say, protected her and had a way to make her feel better when everything seemed to be going badly. Her second heartbreak was when he left for college ([i]'Why do you guys keep leaving me?![/i] she'd cried as a child), but he always remained in contact, was present in both her high school and college graduations and constantly visited her even after she moved to NYC. Though at one point his visits stopped, they always kept constant contact via letters (the old fashion way). [hr] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u]T A T I A N A C A R R I N G T O N[/u][/color][/h2] [i]"My darling Tatia! That gorgeous woman is defined in one word: TALENT."[/i][/center] Tatiana was a blessing in Liv's life. In Liv's eyes, Tatia is graceful, beautiful, one of the few family jewels. Having been raised among brothers, it felt good to have a fellow girl in which she could confine things the boys wouldn't understand. Her favorite memories of Tatia are when she would be dragging to her older sister's ballet practice, how Liv was unable to control her giggles when Tatia made faces at her while she danced (often getting reprimanded by her ballet teacher), and how magical it was to watch her onstage. Their tight bond was broken with the arrival of Marisol, and this is why she hasn't really had much contact with Tatiana apart from the cards she sends on important days. [hr] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u] T B A C A R R I N G T O N[/u][/color][/h2] [i]TBA [/i][/center] [hr] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u]A V E R Y C A R R I N G T O N[/u][/color][/h2] [i]"Ave is a sweetheart. He has this magical ability to turn a single piece of paper into works of art that is simply mesmerizing."[/i][/center] Avery was only one year younger than Olivia, so they spent quite some time together along with Oliver, being the youngest three siblings in the Carrington household for a few years. Ave had always been quiet and reserved even as a child, but he began to keep more to himself as he grew up, but he found a way to let his actions speak for him. Liv still fondly remembers how he would read his writings to them, how he would make the most beautiful drawings for her (which is why her bedroom's walls were always full of taped-on drawings), and how sad she was when he stopped sharing his stuff with them. In the present, Liv sends him cards on important dates, and bought some of his stunning paintings to decorate her apartment and the baby's nursery. [hr] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u]M A R I S O L C A R R I N G T O N[/u][/color][/h2] [i]"I'm sorry, who? No, I'm not related to her."[/i][/center] Olivia had always been resentful of Mari from the day she was brought to the Carrington home. After her arrival, Olivia's spotlight for being the youngest Carrington girl had been stolen along with the attention of her older siblings, and that's what made her begin to close herself off from the others. They had constant arguments, which only made her dislike for her grow with the years, but the breaking point was the day Mari ran away. Olivia'd had the most important day in her high school career: winning nationals as captain of the Senior Varsity Volleyball team and being recruited by UPenn. But the only one present to share the victories with her was her twin, because everyone else was too busy worrying about Marisol. That day, Olivia decided to cut Mari from her life, and denies knowing her when asked about it. It's the one person of her family she does not want to see. [hr] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u]C H A R L E S C A R R I N G T O N[/u][/color][/h2] [i]"We're like a Ying-Yang: opposites that compliment each other."[/i][/center] Olivia and Charlie's personalities were like night and day, but they complemented each other greatly. Before and whenever Mari wasn't around, Olivia was always there to spoil him, play with him and even nag at him the way a mother would do. As he grew up, she always tried to dress him up in the latest trends and get him out of his shell more, but he only complied to make her happy. She still remembers the day the nanny placed him in her arms, all sweet and tiny and cute (he'd always remained cute): and she had proclaimed with a chest puffed up with pride [i]'I will be the best big sister ever!'[/i]. It was hard for her to leave him behind, but she knew he'd be okay with Mari. [hr] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u]R I C H A R D D A V I S[/u][/color][/h2] [i]"If I have a boy that looks just like him, I'm going to be in big trouble!" [/i][/center] [i]"When I was in the process of getting my master's degree, I attended a work party and was instantly attracted to what I thought to be the most handsome man in the party. His smile, his laugh, the way he carried himself so confidently... He had an inexplicable charm that got me the way no other man had done before. Upon introduction, I find out that he is none other than Richard Davis, C.E.O. of Davis Enterprises. We talked, had a few drinks, and laugh at the fact that we come from such similar backgrounds. It seemed the attraction was mutual, because it wasn't long before we were tangled between the sheets of his bed that same night. After hooking up a few times, we decided to put a label on things: an open relationship, seeing as neither of us were ready to settle down or get involved on anything serious. I mean, everything about Rich fascinated me, but I knew what a piece of work that man is. It really wasn't the type of man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. But they say life throws curve balls when you least expect it, and after six months and a particular escapade that was different from the rest, I found myself staring at a positive pregnancy test. God... I was afraid, panicking and so nervous about my future. But the one thing that was always clear in her mind was that I would keep the baby no matter what happened. After I got the definite confirmation with the blood test and my doctor, I gathered up the courage to shared the news with Rich. Honestly, knowing the way he is, I was half-expecting him to walk out, and fully prepared if he did so. To my huge surprise, he took responsibility! It wasn't just my baby anymore, it was our baby. Knowing his position and my last name, we had to act fast if we wanted to avoid any situations with the tabloids. So, we decided to move in together to a luxurious apartment in Manhattan. Living together has actually made me start to have feelings for him beyond the physical attraction. Pregnancy hormones, maybe? But right now, I'm just waiting for him to decide what the hell is our current relationship status. One would think that with me being pregnant and us sharing an apartment it would be considered an exclusive relationship, right? But it seems darling Richie can't keep himself to one woman. What I do know is that if he doesn't make up his mind soon, I'll be raising my child as a single mother."[/i] [hr] [center][h2][color=ec008c][u]A M E L I A G A R C I A[/u][/color][/h2] [i]"Charlie's hit the jackpot with this one! Hopefully they cane become more than just friends!"[/i][/center] When Charlie had asked Liv if she had a spot of internships available for one of his friends, she had teased him about it, but had done everything in her power to procure her a spot. She was instantly charmed by Amelia from the day they met. The young girl was so charismatic, proper and open to learn as much as she could, she reminded Olivia of herself a little. She had fondness for Amelia, and is thankful to her for making his brother happy. [hr][hr] [/hider]
