[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: #EEEEEE, border: #59b1ba 5px solid; width: 400px; height: 500px;] hey there. the name's olivia hailey nichols! i go by liv if you were wondering. also i'll have you know that i am twenty-one & loving it. oh. you've heard that I'm straight? & that I'm from hometown? well the rumors are true for once. well I gotta get going, work is calling. see ya'! bee tee dubs, i'm a graduate. history, Olivia Hailey Nichols was born on February 16th, as the second child to James and Michelle Nichols. Her older brother, Carson, wasn’t particularly thrilled that he didn’t get the little brother he wanted, but once he spent some time with his new sister, he actually came to find that she wasn’t half bad despite the fact that she sometimes kept him awake at night with her crying. A few years later her sister, Maya, was born and Olivia did her best to help her mother take care of her baby sister. With her blonde hair, pretty face and deep blue eyes, Olivia was always an adorable little girl, often earning her parents compliments and praises about their daughter and as the years passed, she blossomed into a beautiful young woman. There was not a day that passed when she would walk down the street or the hallways of her high school and not turn a few heads, a fact that gave her a lot of self-confidence and self-esteem. This earned her a lot of jealousy, and a lot of boys lusting after her, but she was smart enough not to get herself into any trouble, though she did love the compliments and the attention. Growing up in Los Angeles, California meant that Olivia was raised in a world full of wealth, fashion and material objects. Most children that grew up in her neighbourhood were spoiled rotten by their parents, and Olivia, Carson, and Maya were no exception. Their parents bought them whatever they wanted, and their mother always made sure that her children were dressed in nothing but the latest and best in fashions. At the age of 14, Olivia met a boy named Justin, who had been assigned as her partner for a Romeo and Juliet assignment in their English class. With his dark hair and green eyes, Justin was definitely a looker and Serena was glad to have him as a partner. Not only was he good looking, but he was also an equally intelligent student who took school as seriously as she did. After being forced to spend so much time together working on their project, the two got closer and eventually started dating, much to the jealousy of both boys and girls who had been hoping to snag both Serena and Justin for themselves. They were the perfect couple and were exceptionally happy, steadily dating for two years. Once they'd both received our driver's licenses, it just made things that much easier for them. Then one night, everything changed. That night, Olivia had been cheerleading at one of the school football games and Justin had been playing in it. Earlier in the evening, she was getting ready to go when she suddenly got this bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. She wasn't sure why, but it wouldn't go away, so she got naturally worried. But, when Justin arrived and assured her that everything would be fine, she got into the car and seemed to forget about her bad feeling. It was while Justin and Olivia were driving home from the game and were heading back to Olivia’s house so that she could change into something more comfortable for the party they were going to that night that she finally figured out what the bad feeling was about. The young couple were passing through an intersection as a drunk driver did the same, crashing into them and sending them into a nearby wall. As the car hit the wall, Olivia blacked out. Two days later, Olivia woke up in the hospital with hardly any memory of what had happened after the crash. She had been badly bruised and bloodied, and could only remember hitting the wall as Justin's hand grabbed her's tightly as if he wasn't going to let go. When she woke up, her mother's face greeted her and she immediately asked about Serena watched as sadness crossed her mother's face and she slowly informed her daughter that Justin had been killed in the accident and that Olivia herself had barely survived. After that, Olivia felt completely lost and wandered around school like a zombie, not interested in dating anyone else since, as far as she was concerned, her heart had died with Justin. After a few months of seeing her suffer through a major stage of depression, her parents arranged for her to see a counsellor and after a few sessions, she was able to get over what had happened and move on with her life for a little while at least and was more or less happy. Eventually, Olivia opened her heart to dating again and began to date a new guy. But that was short-lived when a few months later, an old friend of her boyfriend’s came to Los Angeles to visit him and it really strained their relationship. About a month later, she and Travis broke up and Olivia made an attempt to try and be friends with the girl, but stopped all attempts when she found out that Travis had slept with the girl and that she was pregnant. This introduced a whole new problem into Olivia’s life as she watched Travis try and do the noble thing by going back to his friend’s hometown to help her with the pregnancy, and Olivia didn’t take it very well at all. In fact, she became reckless and rebellious, and got back into drinking. For the entire summer, Olivia suffered through the problems with alcohol and the depression that Travis’s departure had brought on. After experiencing her reckless behaviour, her mother decided to send Olivia to London for a year in an attempt to get her out of Los Angeles, and away from her influences there. Having to leave her friends and her brother behind was hard, but after some convincing Olivia was finally convinced that transferring for a year would give her a chance to have a brand new start and a chance to have a normal life. That year in London did marvellous things for her and she returned to Los Angeles completely refreshed and ready for a brand new start. That was the summer before her junior year, and she has since graduated from Yale University and though she does still like to flirt, hook up and party, she’s started to take an interest in things she cut herself off from in her darker days and is working hard to move up in the world. Now, all she wants to do is advance in her career, fall in love, hang out with her friends and enjoy life to the fullest. personality, Olivia is a forceful and independent young lady, who is both energetic and lively. Anyone who has known her for a long period of time can see that she is very spirited. From an early age, she proved that just because fate may deal her a crappy hand, did not mean that she was going to cry her heart out and hold back when it came to overcoming the obstacles life put in her path. Because of things that have happened in her life, Olivia isn’t always the best when it comes to dealing with problems in her life, and she usually turns to some kind of reckless behaviour in order to help her get through it. Olivia is a down-to-earth person, and a quick thinker. She is incredibly good at planning things in her head when she needs to, and will leave absolutely no stone unturned. Her mind is always set to overdrive and she's constantly thinking and doing, though sometimes the decisions she makes are a bit impulsive. Her first instincts often come off as powerful, rash, and maybe a bit too strong, but her impulsive behaviour helps her enjoy life to the fullest. She is also a charming and witty person; traits which help her come across as a nice person as opposed to being a snappy, grumpy person. Her good looks are something she uses to her advantage, and they often help her talk herself out of trouble. Her charm is a trait that she admires in other people as well as herself. Over the years, Olivia has also become much more motivated and determined for success. She strives to prove to that she is perfectly capable of doing anything that she sets her mind too, and has become very confident and sure of herself. She finds it hard to trust people, and there are very few people she actually likes. She is, however, friendly to those she does like, and rude to those she doesn’t. She is stubborn and independent, and prefers to do things on her own. She doesn’t care what others think about her, and never lets anyone walk all over her.Her will to stand up to anyone and everyone, whether friend or enemy, also comes from this. She lives her life with the firm belief that anything that has happened to her in the past has just made her a stronger person. She grew up in a town whose principal values were money and physical beauty, and she loved every minute of it. That also shaped her into a bit of a narcissist who speaks her mind, always gets what she wants, and never has any regrets. Though normally extremely outgoing and friendly, there are times when Olivia can be a bit abrasive and cold, and those are the times when her lethal temper shows through. She will let it show to anyone who disrespects her or the people she loves, and isn’t afraid to stand up to people. Once she is angered it takes her a rather long time to either apologize or speak to the person in question in order to resolve the issues she has with him/her. All in all, it’s best to stay on her good side. appearance, Standing at a full 5’7”, Olivia is a natural beauty with soft facial features. Her ivory skin is smooth and soft, with no visible signs of blemishes. Her bright blue eyes are close set and almond shaped, and tend to reflect her emotions. When she is around people she loves and is happy, there is a glimmer of laughter and a certain glow reflecting inside of them that is not present when she is around those she dislikes. They light up when she's passionate about something, and grow dull when she's bored. Her eyelashes are long and dark, and enhance the colour of her eyes. Straight, white teeth are concealed behind full, pink lips and shine when she smiles. Olivia’s hair is a cascade of long, blonde curls, reaching down to the middle of her back. She usually wears it loosely draped around her shoulders in its natural curl, though she does sometimes tie it up into a ponytail or braid to keep it out of her face. She usually keeps her bangs swept to the right side of her face. No matter what she does with her hair, it always smells faintly of flowers, which is how most people know that she has entered a room. She is tall and slender, with a small waist and a well-toned, athletic body that comes from all the running and exercising she does. Her long legs also make her an extremely fast runner and a star athlete, though she isn’t on any sports teams. She’s got curves that other girls would kill for, and has a slim hour-glass figure that make people wonder whether she’s a model. She also has a Chinese symbol that means "dream" tattooed on the small of her back, and has her belly button pierced. Like any typical girl, Olivia absolutely loves make-up and refuses to leave her apartment without it. She does not, however, use so much that it makes her look trashy; she only uses enough to enhance her natural beauty and bring out her stunning facial features. She’s also very into fashion, and likes to fill her closet with expensive, designer outfits. She does, however, like to shop at thrift stores too and combine those clothes with the designer ones to create unique outfits that always manage to work. the roleplayer, Hiya, I'm Chelsea, though I prefer Chels. I'm 21 years old and am currently studying to become a Child and Youth Worker. I've been RPing for about seven years now, and I'm more or less addicted. I've run quite a few sites as well as been a member of many, so I know what I'm doing. I've also just started RPing on Tumblr, and actually enjoy it quite a bit. I can't wait to get involved on here, and hope to plot with all of you soon. I'm a big IC drama lover, so don't expect anything boring from me. I'll probably put up a character request for my baby here, so be on the look out! <3 |
