[/i][/size][/right]The Basics
Name:Olivia Alexis Murphy Nicknames: Olive, Livia
Age: 16
Orientation: Heterosexual (but might be willing to experiment)
Desired Rank/Job: Student
Powers: Memory enhancement. Olivia wishes that she could forget things, that she didn’t have to constantly correct others but when you can sharpen any memory by will it makes forgetting hard.
1. Through concentration Olivia can have instant and accurate recall. This use to take a great deal of concentration now it’s relatively minor.
2. If Olivia maintains physical skin to skin contact with another she can make a single event sharpened in their memory. The memory can only be sustained for 2 minutes, it greatly drains Olivia and she does not share in the memory.
3. Due to her power Olivia is frequently titled the ‘know it all’, ‘teacher’s pet’ and the ‘smart aleck’. She has few friends and is in constant concern that she will accidently sharpen a memory that a person may not want to remember.
4. Olivia suffers from headaches and memory overlaps. Memories can begin to play at the same time even if they are from different periods of her life.

The Details
Hair Color: light red
Eye Color: Grey
Any Piercings? Ears
Any Tattoos? None
Any Scars? None
General Appearance: Standing 5’4 and only 115 Olivia keeps her long red hair down on her shoulders or up on a tight bun. Her grey eyes don’t miss a thing and tend to be on the sharper side of soft. Olivia’s style helps her blend in, she prefers dark, rich, and earthy tones, and minimalistic jewelry. When she gets the mood she will sneak into her sister’s wardrobe and wear brighter colors but those time are far and few between.
Personality: Olivia was a completely normal child growing up, she loved fairy tales, playing with her sister and playing with the neighborhood kids to slaying dragons. These days she’s all about structure and order. Her gift doesn’t affect how she makes friends but she feels it is what keeps her from keeping them. Besides she hardly has time for them after keeping such a close eye on her forgetful twin Brooklyn.
Once that exterior ice is broken through (usually by befriending her sister) Olivia can be very kind and protective. She’s not one for hugs, holding hands, or linking arms, but she will share her thoughts, share her ideas and share her clothes. But better bet she’ll remember what she loaned you. Olivia doesn’t have much time to pursue the things she’d like but she does make time for the occasional hobby like roller blading and hiking.

History
16 years ago a young couple in love married and bore twin girls. The pregnancy was very difficult on an already weak and tiny woman. The stress of the passing years was too much and the woman passed away leaving her husband and twin four year old girls. Olivia now remembers the event and she believes it why she and her sister have such a strong bond. The father, Richard, took the death in stride and raised both girls in a very open and comfortable home allowing Olivia to tell him all about her dreams and secrets.
As the years past Olivia was fairly well tempered preferring to spend her time with Brooklyn drawing, reading stories, or just talking to each other. They existed rather well together as constant companions. To them, they seemed perfectly normal for young girls, best friends and inseparable. Richard, a widower for so many years was getting lonely and with his daughters reaching puberty he decided they needed to have that mother figure. He began talking to women online, going on blind dates, and spending more time with the few friends he had. Olivia and Brooklyn began to distance themselves from their father spending more and more time together until ‘HE’ came along.
Through most of their childhood Olivia and Brooklyn had both befriended a slightly older boy in the neighborhood. Andrew got dragged easily into their lives and played all the ‘male’ roles in their fantasies of dragons and knights. When he came back from a summer visit to his grandmother taller and more mature both girls felt differently about their childhood friend. They started drifting apart. Each girl reconnected with their father, demanding their own space, their own rooms, and their own individualism. Richard was at a loss. Thankfully this hell only lasted another year for the poor man.
Then puberty came around and the girls, ever the same, started acting even more bizarre. Richard became more and more concerned with his daughter’s behaviors. Olivia began nick picking over the smallest things, what a person had said, when something was planned for, where she’d left her backpack. Brooklyn began forgetting everything. It’s at this time the girls were pegged as Meta by a doctor and whisked away to Kocher haute école pour les surdoués in Switzerland. At the school Olivia and Brooklyn spent the last 3 years learning how to control their powers and reorganize their lives. Olivia truly feels that it is this time together that rekindled a growing space between them. If only due to her discover of having to protect her sister.
It was over Christmas break that Olivia first learned about HER. She was a woman Olivia expected to hate, but as time has slowly passed she may end up enjoying. The widowed woman Richard met online that lived in New York named Abigail Scott. Olivia really didn’t know much about this woman and even less about the young daughter that her father began to dote on. She wasn’t sure how long their father knew Abigail before he proposed, but Olivia and Brooklyn remember clearly the day he came to pick them up from school and inform them they were moving to America during spring break.
Roleplay Example
Pulling on my jacket I squinted and cursed. I'd been working too long; I dug around a bit finally fishing out a pair of glasses and slipping them on. I'm sure I was going to make quite the sight, some teenish looking guy in a leather jacket with glasses and ratty hair hobbling around. I felt old tonight and it was my own god damned fault too.
Funny how in a split second all that fatigue can disappear with the right circumstances. Tonight it started with the scent of a Vampire I didn't recognize followed VERY quickly by feminine screams. I flipped the lock on my studio, tossed my keys in my bag and hoped the rail down a floor before booking it around the corner. A block down I saw them.
The lady was trying to hold her own against two of them, and probably would have been fine but four on one just ain't fair in any book. I shrugged my leather from my arms. "HEY A** HOLES! Come pick on someone your own damn size" ok bad choice of wording. I was in no sense tiny at 6'1 but I was as skinny as a beanpole as most of us younger vampires were. Three of them rounded on my while the fourth pulled a knife to the woman's neck.
I'd love to use another cliche and say it was done before it ever began but frankly... it took a bit on my part. I'm better at the one on one not three on one aspect of things. Or I was just getting a little rusty which was quite plausible too. However, it was still done faster than the alternative of myself and the woman being human. I gave the last gentlemen a friendly little reminder not to pick on women effectively ending his life before turning to her wearily. I had every right to be weary with the events of the last 15 years, now there was a strange looking Vamp with dresser clothes on. "Are you alright?"
