The Details
Hair Color: dark brown
Eye Color: Brown
Any Piercings? Ears
Any Tattoos? None
Any Scars? Several small ones from childhood including a burn on her right hand from her oven.
General Appearance: Olivia is tall, 5'8" and is of a slim, almost boyish build. She has always had trouble putting weight on, and it's been the source of unkind teasing for years. Her mother attributes her build to her strong dance background. Olivia doesn't think she'd mind as much if she at least had boobs and an ass, both of which she does not possess in even the slightest bit. That being said, she's stuffed her bra on more than one occasion and suffers from not the best self esteem when standing next to other girls who fit her idea of beauty, which is shorter, and curvier.
Liv's face is pretty and fresh. Her eyes are big and expressive, and she has a natural smile. Her skin is fair, and she has freckles that are sprinkled over the bridge of her nose.
Her style is easy. Jeans, tanks, plaid shirts, scarves, and boots are her normal attire. She doesn't do girly well unless it's as a character in dance, though since she's always been the tallest in dance she's often been made to play boys parts. Makeup is another monster she has no grasp on. Lipgloss and a little mascara is all she's been able to master so far.
Personality: Olivia is the human embodiment of sunshine. She is often seen with a huge smile on her face and giggling at one thing or another, which can get quite annoying. She doesn't do sad well. She feels incredibly uncomfortable with anything sad or dark and handles these situations by basically running away. This also is one of the biggest complaints of her friends who find it hard to vent to Liv. She doesn't give good advice when it comes to depressing things and in turn also doesn't open up about her own problems. She's difficult to get past the walls to the real meat of who she is.
On the other hand, she is a goof. She isn't afraid to make a fool of herself, perhaps because she's so self conscience as it is and would rather be laughing with people then feel like people are laughing at her. She is someone who tends to have a lot of friends, though doesn't really let anyone become a best friend and surprisingly outside of quick interactions spends a lot of time alone. She takes a lot of pride in her studies and spends an exceptional amount of time working on becoming the top student in her class. She often uses her power to help her with this, by providing more time to study for tests and on assignments, though is trying to cut down because she feels as if she is cheating.
It's good to note that Olivia is also a perfectionist. She has issues letting little things go and letting others take control of situations. Her room is always perfect, and it's one of the reasons she struggles so much with her clothes because they are the one thing that just doesn't click in her brain. It can get her quite flustered.

History
Olivia was born in New York City to John and Sophia Baker. She has 4 brothers, three older and one younger and because of them has an excellent pitching arm and right hook. Being the only daughter, her mother quickly got her involved with dance and she studied intensively through her elementary school and middle school years until her powers were discovered. She still continues to dance as a hobby.
Academics have always been a huge part of her life. Both her parents are professors at NYU and expect all of their children to get in as well as graduate at the top of their graduating class. Considering her older brothers John, Dean, and Mark all have, Olivia feels an incredibly large amount of pressure to do the same. Granted, none of her brothers possess the abilities that Olivia does, which has also been a huge point of contentment within the family.
John is the head of the Anthropology department at NYU. Sophia is a highly respected professor in the biology department. That being said, they always had their own theories about the gifted population that had become quite public over the past years. Olivia grew up hearing everything from how amazing gifted people are to how they should be exterminated and are a danger to humanity.
Olivia's powers started to develop when she was 13, around the time she started having other changes in her life too. At first she much attributed her episodes to deja vu and being tired. Her mother however quickly spotted the differences in her daughter and a recruiter came before she could make a case for her for her own studies.
From there the fighting started. Both her parents with their up and down conflicting views weren't quite sure how to feel about their daughter having abilities and also having to go away to a special school far from home. She was supposed to follow the plan, go to prep school, graduate on top, go to NYU, become someone who was influential. That was her destiny and all that had changed.
Since entering Hammel Olivia has done well. She has a steady group of friends and is involved on campus. But she struggles deeply with the pressure she feels from her family back home and feels much like an outcast. She struggles to really make connections with people because of this, not wanting to take her eyes off her own goals to make them proud.
Roleplay Example
Olivia smiled as she entered the girls bathroom, she hated the girls bathroom, the mirrors in there would taunt her, she was pee shy, she could never pee with anyone else in the room and she felt like an absolute freak trying to check for feet under the stalls. She was 5’8”, if she got caught there’d be no sneaking around that. Hell if she stood on her tiptoes she might be able to see over the stalls, that’d be even worse. Several other girls were in the bathroom as she entered and she waved recognizing them from class before looking into the mirror. She turned to the side examining how she looked from every angle. Button down shirt, jeans, brown belt, and a skinny girl all looked back at her. She was too skinny. Flat. Uhg! She waited for the other girls to leave the bathroom before going for the paper towels. She hated using paper towels, getting them to lie flat would take forever and they'd be itchy but she just looked so ridiculous. She ripped a dozen out from the dispenser and skillfully folded them just so, she was no rookie in the paper towel stuffed bra Olympics.
She unbuttoned the front of her shirt just enough, and started to slide the towels in. A few adjustments later and she went from nothing to a solid A. Perfect. The bell rang signaling class was about to be in session. She was late! Liv struggled to get her shirt buttoned as several girls entered the room, one knocking into her. Shit – her button went flying. Defeated, she ran out. It’d have to do or she’d be late and draw more attention to herself.
She was a girl on a mission. Her boobs were full and she was getting to class on time. She could see the classroom just ahead when she felt it, a hand pulling on one of the paper towels that had escaped.
