» OVERALL PERSONALITY:

Olivia may come off as a complicated person, but she really isn't. She is simply different from many of her peers. She doesn't like to run in large groups and has no desire to be popular. She likes to keep to herself, but not to the point where she is a loner. She only likes to keep maybe two or three best friends because she feels best friends are all she needs. She doesn't think friends are neccessary because they are flaky. She does, however, want someone she can vent to about her problems. This mostly stems from her trust issues, but also from the fact that she doesn't like hearing about other people's problems.

Olivia is a very artistic person and a bit of a control freak. She doesn't like surprises. She wants to know every detail about anything major like a party, date, etc. She also doesn't like plain and simple black and white. She is a very creative person and likes to express herself. She doesn't care if her peers don't accept her since she isn't friends with most of them anyway. She just wants her few friends to accept her, or what she's made herself to be. She doesn't like to talk about her past or her real family, so she leads everyone on to believe the Ramos family is her biological one, and she gets nervous if she feels someone suspects her lie.

Olivia is an independent person, or she tries to be. She doesn't like depending on anyone for anything whether it's finances or happiness. She worries often that people will leave her or let her down. She puts herself above everyone, which is why she can never maintain a good relationship. She is bad at making the other person happy. She doesn't mean to be this way, but she just happens to be. She knows it a problem but doesn't like to admit it. She wants to believe she's perfectly fine and everyone else is just overanalyzing things or worrying for nothing.

» HISTORY:
Olivia Jiselle Ramos, born Olivia Jiselle Wilks, was born on March 31st at a local bar. Her mother, Martina Wilks had gone in search of her alcoholic father and was leaving a bar when her water broke. She refused to go to the hospital because she was afraid they would find traces of weed in her system. After sixteen hours of labor, she finally gave birth to Olivia. Olivia's father was nowhere to be found, and he didn't actually meet his daughter until she was a week and a half old. Olivia was the second child of the couple, the first being her older brother Sean.

Olivia grew up in a two bedroom apartment with her parents, or her mother and her father on the occasion he was around. When she was around three years old, her brother ran off with his pregnant girlfriend. Instead of focusing more attention on their only child, Olivia's parents chose to act as if she'd left with her brother. She was often forgotten at daycare and school. When she was six, her father came home drunk and beat her mother. Olivia wasn't in the room when it happened, but she heard the screams and saw the blood afterward. Her father was arrested a few days later for public intoxicaton, robbery, and aggrevated assault, and her mother just disappeared while Olivia was at school.

After her mother's disappearance, Olivia went to live with her aunt, who worked as a maid. After her aunt's death, Olivia was adopted by the couple that employed her aunt. They had often seen her around since her aunt couldn't afford a babysitter. Olivia was around nine when she was adopted into the Ramos family. She didn't instantly get along with her new parents and siblings, but after a few months of trying and a handful of gifts she began to trust them.

When Olivia turned thirteen, she moved with her new family to New York from New Jersey. While there, she took up singing and guitar lessons. She also began to wonder where her original family was, mainly her brother. During a winter break, she tried searching Facebook, Myspace, and the phonebook for her brother. While she never found him, it made her want to contact her former family to see how they were doing. She found the prison her father was currently in and began sending him letters. When she met her first boyfriend, who could drive, she would take trips back to Jersey to visit her father. While she never fully forgave him for destroying her family, she found it impossible to let go of the only link to her family.

"Olivia! Wake UP?"

Olivia heard the words but couldn't respond. She rolled over and moaned, trying to fall back into sleep but it was too late. Her mother had woken her up and she knew if she didn't get out of the bed, she wouldn't hear the end of it. She folded back her baby blue comforter and sat up. She looked out the window only to be greeted by darkness. The sun wasn't even up yet, but she knew better than to complain. She felt bad complaining to her mother anyway. After everything Gabrielle Ramos and her husband had done for Olivia, complaining just didn't seem right.

Olivia finally managed to get out of the bed and walked out of her bedroom and to the bathroom she shared with her sister and brother. She saw the light from under the door and impatiently, but silently, waited. Even though she was older, she didn't really try to boss the other children around. After all, she was adopted into their family, not the other way around. She felt like she owed everyone something, even though technicaly Gabrielle and Carlos were the only ones who did anything for her. When the door did eventually open to reveal a cranky little boy, Olivia couldn't help but smile. He wasn't her real brother, but he was close enough. He was what she had and she learned to deal with that. She playfully messed with his hair and she passed him to enter the bathroom.

Clean, dressed, and fed, Olivia happily walked out of the house with her two siblings. They followed their usual routine of putting her brother on the bus, then she and her sister began the short walk to school. They could take the bus if they wanted to, but Olivia didn't really want to. There were too many people on the bus and most of them were under the age of thirteen. Olivia already had short patience, so being cramped with a bunch or hormonal immature children was not how she wanted to start her day off.

As the girls approached the school, they parted ways. Mikayla went off to join her high fashion friends and probably share stories of shopping trips. Olivia, on the other hand, went and found a spot under a tree where practically no one else was. The tree offered a nice view of the property so Olivia could watch for her friends from there. While she waited, she pulled out an old book of songs and began looking through it. She hummed to herself, trying to picture herself performing in front of tons of screaming fans. She couldn't control the smile on her face, but she knew that was all just a dream. Besides, she liked the behind the scenes work more, the actually planning and design. She would let someone else have the spotlight as long as she could paint the beautiful scene around them.

Olivia smiled when she finally saw a fiery red head and a bush of curly hair approach her. She replaced the music book in her bag and rose to walk with her friends to their lockers where they would hang like they always did. Olivia smiled as she linked arms with her two buddies, they were all she needed.
